Bung Martin,
Saya juga sangat menyesalkan pertikaian yg menyedihkan ini. Sayang kita tak
mampu berbuat banyak utk mencegah hal itu terjadi. Saya cuma bisa berharap
akan ada lagi bung Martin-bung Martin yang lain. Akan sangat baik kiranya
jika bisa dimulai dari kita sendiri, teman-teman, dst ...
Kalo kita hanya mencari siapa yg benar dan salah, saya pikir masalahnya
nggak akan pernah habis.
Terima kasih bung martin, anda sudah mencairkan segala kebekuan yg ada. Kalo
aja setiap orang berpikiran spt anda ....
Bagi teman-teman sesama muslim, saya ingin ucapkan :
Selamat Idul Fitri 1 Syawal 1419 H. Mohon maaf lahir bathin. S'moga kita
termasuk orang-orang yg kembali kepada fitrahnya ...
Genggam erat sahabat,
Toto

>JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) � Christians and Muslims carrying machetes, spears,
>and crow bars clashed on a remote Indonesian island in a riot that killed
>least 10 people, a news report said today.
>
>Police repeatedly fired warning shots to keep rival gangs apart on Ambon
>island, about 1,400 miles northeast of Jakarta.
>
>The violence today and Tuesday was the latest in a series of
>religious-related
>clashes to hit the sprawling Southeast Asian nation as it grapples with its
>worst economic crisis in three decades.
>
>The official Antara news agency said at least 100 people had been badly
>injured and more than 30 houses burned. Residents said they could see
>several
>columns of smoke rising over the main city, also named Ambon.
>
>Local police chief Col. Karyono S.M. said two mosques were set on fire and
>dozens of vehicles were damaged during Eid al-Fitr, one of the holiest
>feasts
>on the Islamic calendar.

>The two-day holiday marks the end of Islam's Ramadan fasting month and is
>supposed to be a time of peace and reconciliation.
>
>Police earlier confirmed that four people were dead. But Antara said local
>residents had located more bodies.

>The trouble started Tuesday night when Christians and Muslims clashed at
two
>villages. The violence later spread to Ambon city and other nearby
villages.
>
>Antara reported that rioting started on Ambon after Muslims from Batumerah
>village attacked a man from the neighboring Christian-dominated village of
>Mardika. They accused him of being drunk and of insulting their Islamic
>beliefs.
>
>Sporadic fighting continued today after 400 riot police were deployed. The
>island's airport was shut down except for military flights.

>Soaring inflation, unemployment and poverty rates have increased social
>tensions in Indonesia.

>About 90 percent of Indonesia's 202 million people are Muslim, making it
the
