Just watched the spokesperson for the Indonesian Police Force defending against the accusation that police has been too trigger-free in dealing with the terrorists, as a total of nine terrorists on the wanted list have been shot dead in the past few months including Noordin M Top.
The spokesperson said, as a people who believed in heaven and hell (afterlife judgment), it is not the police policy to deliberately kill the terrorists but the act has been carried out in self defense and in public interest as the terrorists are armed and were hitting back at the police with their home-made bombs.
Indonesia is unique in the sense that belief in the afterlife and correspondingly in God is institutionalized and one can go on national television to declare it and everybody is okay with it.
Atheism has obviously not caught on in this country.
