Arab States Silent on Iran's Remarks (BIG surprise...)

The west is surprised when muslims are honest about their Jew hatred...
Thursday, October 27, 2005
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's call for Israel to be "wiped off the map" has drawn widespread condemnation from Israel, Europe and North America.
The UK, France, Spain and Canada are summoning Iranian diplomats to demand an explanation for the remark.
Israel's Vice-Prime Minister Shimon Peres called for Iran to be expelled from the United Nations.
The White House said the comment showed the US was right to be concerned about Iran's nuclear programme.
Washington suspects Tehran is trying to develop nuclear weapons, but Iran says its programme is for peaceful purposes only.
Anyone who signs a treaty which recognises the entity of Israel means he has signed the surrender of the Muslim world
Mr Ahmadinejad made his comments at a conference in Tehran entitled The World without Zionism, (aka the world without Jews...)the official Irna news agency reported.
Western governments are bound to see it as further proof that Iran's hardline president is disinclined to curb his country's controversial nuclear programme, the BBC's diplomatic correspondent Bridget Kendall says.
They may hope that a co-ordinated diplomatic protest will help step up the pressure, she says.
An International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report last month said questions about Iran's nuclear programme remained unanswered, despite an intensive investigation.
The UK, France, Germany and the US are pressing Iran to provide more access to its nuclear plans.
'Sickening'
The UK's Foreign Office described the comments as "deeply disturbing and sickening".
"We have seen in Israel today the horrible reality of the violence he (Mr Ahmadinejad) is praising," a spokesman said, referring to a Palestinian suicide attack on Wednesday in the Israeli town of Hadera that killed five people and injured up to 30 others.
More "peace" from islam...

An Egyptian Coptic nun lies on the ground Wednesday, Oct. 19, 2005, after a Muslim student stabbed her at the St. Gergis church in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, Egypt, amid tensions over a theater performance considered offensive by Muslims, a police official said. (AP)
A young man stabbed a nun and a man in a church in the Egyptian city of Alexandria on Wednesday, police sources in the city said.
The man shouted "God is great" when he burst into St. George's Coptic church in the city on Egypt's northern coast.
Some 1,000 Muslims last week held a protest outside the church because they said it had put on a play which was offensive to Islam.
And their response to this play? Knife a nun...

Imran Patel, a fanatic who has had arms training in Pakistan, was cornered by a team of 20 anti-terrorist officers at 8.45pm and taken to Leeds police station for questioning. He had claimed he was asked to join the attack on the capital by his pal, terror cell leader Mohammad Sadique Khan.
Before the July atrocity, Khan and the other London suicide bombers —Shehzad Tanweer, 22, Jermaine Lindsay, 19, and Hasib Hussain, 18— met at Patel's home in Dewsbury, West Yorks. They watched extremist Jihad (holy war) videos calling for Muslims to launch a holy war.
And they held discussions about their "mission" to carry out terrorist attacks in Britain.
But even though he refused their invitation to join them on their sick mission—52 people died and 700 were injured in the attack on London's transport system—he did not tip off police about their intentions.
He says he did not want to see Muslim "brothers" jailed. He would rather see dead infidels, their bodies strewn about the subway like so much garbge. religion of peace my ASS!
Patel also claims he would never attack a target in Britain—though he would willingly do so abroad.
But he told a News of the World reporter that he knows at least half a dozen other Muslims from Dewsbury who have had training in camps in Pakistan and are now back in Britain. He says he is friendly with another young Muslim who is close to launching an atrocity here.
Patel, in his early thirties, added: "He is definitely ready.
Telling truth to George W.

Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald reveals what he will tell the President of the United States when George calls him in, offers him a sparkling water, and asks him for some advice:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/008667.php#more
"What serious advice by the numbers would you give the president as to how to deal with the ever encroaching threat of fundamental Islam?" -- a question to me from a posting at Jihad Watch
1. Education: Make sure that the 5-10 most relevant books are read by generals, other officers, and men -- beginning with those at the War College. And make sure that those in the Department of Justice, civilian employees in the Department of Defense, upper-level employees in the Department of Health and Human Services, and members of Congress and state and local government are properly educated on the subject of Islam. Stop misrepresenting Islam as a doctrine that encourages "peace" and "tolerance." Stop continuing to insist that those who conduct Jihad are doing so despite Islam, and not quite properly prompted by, and in the name of, and in the spirit of, Islam.
Attempt on every occasion to raise the matter of what Islam teaches and how Muslims intend to deal with these teachings, or not to, at every meeting with Muslim ambassadors and leaders. Never leave it out of any speech -- and make sure that from the top down, everyone is echoing the same sentiments, asking the same questions, wondering the same things aloud.
2. Establish a War Board which, once it has been clearly understood that the menace threatening all Infidels everywhere is properly called a "Jihad," then that War Board will seek to identify and bring to the attention of Infidels everywhere the various instruments of that Jihad. While military means are part of Jihad, whether acts of terrorism or battlefield combat (qital), they are not the most effective or most threatening instruments of Jihad. These others include "wealth" (i.e. oil revenues), "pen, speech" (propaganda), and the latest weapon, the demographic weapon. It is important to produce evidence from Muslim press, radio, television, and websites, that there is a clear understanding among Muslims of how, for example, "demographic conquest" can -- and has in the past in various parts of the world -- succeed in islamizing a place.
3. Establish a Propaganda Unit whose aim will be to make clear to non-Arab Muslims that within Islam there is an Arab supremacist ideology that is not only political (so that non-Arab Muslims are always enrolled in whatever political demands the Arabs make, but not vice-versa), but cultural and linguistic: the taking of Arab names, the turning five times a day in the direction of Arabia, the insistence that the model for all mankind, for all time, is Mohammad, a seventh-century Arab, and in addition, his Companions whose mores and manners were those of 7th-century Arabs, so that Kurds, Berbers, Persians, Malays and others are made to forget, or despise, as much as possible, their own history, language, and culture. There should be no let-up in attempts to bring the real nature of Islam home to these Muslims.
Another part of this propaganda unit would emphasize the way in which Islam stunts civilizational development and individual mental growth. The habit of mental submission, the system of Total Regulation (of what you eat, of what you wear, of how your hair is done, of how you wash yourself, of absolutely everything under the sun) and, in addition, the setting up of the Qur'an as containing all of Science, so that in the end human curiosity is stifled, and one is discouraged -- forbidden, in fact -- from exercising free and skeptical inquiry needs to be noted. Mothers need to realize that Islam will hold their children back. Some will ignore this, but many will not.
The many prohibitions in Islam, on music, on painting of living creatures, on sculpture, on much else, also needs to be given attention, and emphasis.
If Islam can be seen as an enemy of human freedom and thought -- which it is -- it will be easier to cause those who might otherwise be inclined to be tolerant, those for whom that art and that science and that mental freedom are supposed to be important, to enroll in the anti-Jihad. That anti-Jihad, of course, needs every conceivable recruit, however those recruits may find one another to leave something to be desired.
4. Identify places where natural fissues within Islam can be exploited at little cost and with great benefit. Obvious example: Iraq. Other examples: black Africa, where the treatment of black Africans by Arabs should evoke, and can be made to evoke, the centuries of the Arab slave trade. That trade began earlier than the European slave trade, and ended, most unwillingly, later under European pressure. It has more or less been re-begun wherever Arab Muslims have been free from such pressure or prying, in the Sudan, in Mali, in Mauritania, and even, one has reason to believe, in Saudi Arabia. It needs to be constantly emphasized that slavery cannot be outlawed in Islam, that it is part of Islam, that its victims have been black Africans and Slavs in south and eastern Europe, and people catpured on raids in Western Europe. This is not a case of blackening an image, but merely of presenting the true face of what has been so carefully hidden from view.
5. Do everything possible to unite Infidels everywhere -- all non-Muslims, some of whom have had more immediate or recent experience of Muslim rule, as Hindus in India, and whose historical experience (60-70 million killed by Muslims) could help in changing the natural tendency toward appeasement of so many Western Europeans.
6. Keep all major weapons systems out of the hands of Muslim governments -- no matter how seemingly friendly or "moderate" that government may, at the moment, profess to be. No exceptions, for "moderates" can always become "immoderate."
7. Keep Turkey out of the E.U., for its presence would guarantee the future islamization of Europe -- which must be stopped.
8. Seek ways to militarily reverse Muslim encroachments, wherever results can be surely achieved at little cost, and where the benefits would be great -- as would happen if the Americans were to seize the southern Sudan and Darfur, only in order to hold a referendum on indpendence from the northern Arab Muslims, and not to bring "democracy."
9. Work to reverse the Russian suspicion and resentment of the United States, and continually point out to the Russians that it is they who have the most to fear from Iranian or other Muslim possession of nuclear weapons, unless Russia is prepared not only to surrender the entire Caucasus, but to throw both Georgia and Armenia to the Muslim wolves. In the end, Russia itself, given its own birth-rate, and that of the Muslims within it, has to begin to grasp that this is not a mere matter of swarthy southerners -- the "chornyie" who arouse Russian suspicions -- not a matter of skin color but of ideology: a matter of Muslims, whether swarthy or white as the snow in the lands of the Evenks.
10. Understand how very useless is the concept of the "moderate" Muslim -- because it is impossible to know when someone's "moderation" is real or feigned. Experience shows that Muslim dissimulation -- whether called taqiyya, kitman, or simply dissimulation -- comes naturally. Also, by his mere presence a "moderate" Muslim can swell the ranks, and hence the perceived power, of Muslims and thereby help even the "immoderates" obtain their demands on craven Infidel politicians. And also because even the "moderate" can be transformed, sometimes very quickly, into the "immoderate" Muslim, or can have children who themselves will turn out, in a seeking-your-roots or disaffected-from-the-West attitude, to become "immoderate."
11. Work to stop further penetration and settlement behind what Muslims themselves regard as enemy lines. This requires not a general attack on immigration, but specific moves to limit Muslim immigration. This can only take place if the Idols of the Age, about Diversity and Everyone Wants the Same Thing and Tolerance is Always the Only Conceivable Policy, are undermined, mocked, and shown up as the dangers they are.
"Moderate" muslims support murder
Thursday, October 20, 2005
By Sarah Rainsford
BBC News, Istanbul
A survey by a university in Turkey has shown almost 40% support for the practice of "honour killing".
The results come days after a court in Istanbul gave a life sentence for the murder of a girl by her brothers for giving birth to a child out of wedlock.
Turkish law, which used to be lenient on "honour crimes", was heavily revised as part of the country's preparation for EU accession proceedings.
Turkey has started talks with the EU but is not expected to join for years.
The survey was conducted in the conservative south-eastern city of Diyarbakir.
Disfigured
It questioned 430 people, most of them men. When asked the appropriate punishment for a woman who has committed adultery, 37% replied she should be killed.
Twenty-five percent said that she deserved divorce, and 21% that her nose or ears should be cut off.
The survey group was small but the results are a reminder that "honour killing" - a practice where women are murdered for allegedly bringing shame on their family - still has significant support in parts of Turkey.
There are no reliable statistics on how many women die this way, but Turkey has made major strides fighting such violence.
Research panel
Since the penal code was reformed last summer a man can no longer claim he was provoked as his defence. That used to lead to light sentences.
But last Friday a court in Istanbul sent a man to prison for life for murdering his sister in her hospital bed.
He shot her for giving birth to a child outside marriage.
And there is evidence the authorities here are committed to taking the reforms further.
A commission has just been established in parliament to research the whole issue for the first time. Its 12 members are expected to report back in December.
More islamic lunacy...
Tuesday, October 18, 2005
From Jihad Watch:
More Ramadan peace and tolerance as a Pakistani mullah threatens to burn down a refugee camp rather than see earthquake survivors eating during the day during Ramadan. From "Feeding the survivors during Ramadan," from the BBC, with thanks to Tom:
Feeding 1,200 people with no kitchen requires a bit of preparation.
You need to light fires, boil rice and cook meat. It takes several hours. You have to get going in advance.
But one of the local mullahs did not see it that way and he paid Mohammed Mustafa a visit.
"What are you doing?" he shouted. "Don't you know it's Ramadan now? This is just not permitted.
"You can't cook food during the day. It's against Islam. Stop or I'll burn this place down - your tents, your pots, everything."
Dutch ban burka
Thursday, October 13, 2005
The 'time of cosy tea-drinking' with Muslims is over, says the minister who would ban the burka (ROBERT VOS/EPA)
THE Netherlands is likely to become the first country in Europe to ban the burka, under government proposals that would bring in some of the toughest curbs on Muslim clothing in the world.
The country’s hardline Integration Minister, Rita Verdonk, known as the Iron Lady for her series of tough anti-immigration measures, told Parliament that she was going to investigate where and when the burka should be banned. The burka, traditional clothing in some Islamic societies, covers a woman’s face and body, leaving only a strip of gauze for the eyes.
Mrs Verdonk gave warning that the “time of cosy tea-drinking” with Muslim groups had passed and that natives and immigrants should have the courage to be critical of each other. She recently cancelled a meeting with Muslim leaders who refused to shake her hand because she was a woman.
The proposals are likely to win the support of Parliament because of the expected backing by right-wing parties. But they have caused outrage among Muslim and human rights groups, who say that the Government is pandering to the far Right.
Mrs Verdonk admitted that a complete ban on the garment would be legally tricky because of freedom of religion legislation. However, she said that she would prohibit the garments “in specific situations” on grounds of public safety. The ban is likely to be enforced in shops, public buildings, cinemas, train and bus stations and airports, as well as on trains and buses.
The Netherlands has become preoccupied by Islamic terrorism after the investigation into the murder of the film-maker Theo van Gogh uncovered a network of Muslim extremists dedicated to destroying the country. Attention has turned to the burka because police authorities have become concerned that a terrorist could use one for concealment.
A government spokesman said: “We want to investigate when, how, in which places the burka should be banned. It is a safety measure — you don’t see who is in it.” The Government cites as a precedent existing football legislation, which bans people from entering football grounds covering their faces in scarves.
Yassim Hertog, a vice-president of the Muslim School Boards Union, said: “Can you prohibit someone from wearing a certain type of dress? They are trying to test what a government can forbid, and how far you can go trampling on people’s rights. They want to show all these Dutch citizens who are sick and tired of all these ‘mutant’ citizens, this is where we draw the line — get normal.”
Muslim groups insist that only a few dozen women in the Netherlands wear the burka, and that the ban is a distraction. The Muslims and Government Contact Body said: “Only a handful of Muslims actually wear burkas. Let us focus our energy on what we have in common. This is not a big problem.”
Last year two Muslim women lost a court case against their college that had banned them from wearing burkas during their social work and childcare course. The judge backed the college in its claim that children had to be able to see who was caring for them, prompting the women to drop the course.
Famile Arslan, the women’s lawyer, told The Times:
“Women have a very strong opinion about the burka. If you ban it they won’t leave the house. It is not a good way to integrate and emancipate Muslim women. Everything Muslims do is criticised by Verdonk. She is doing it to get votes. She doesn’t care about Muslims and their problems.”
Mrs Verdonk made the proposals after Geert Wilders, the right-wing MP, requested the ban. Mr Wilders claimed that the garment was unfriendly towards women and a threat to security.
Baroness Sarah Ludford MEP, on the European Parliament’s Civil Liberties Committee, who has been active in opposing bans on the hijab, or scarf, said that there were no arguments for banning the burka. “If there is a genuine belief that someone under a burka is a terrorist, then you invoke stop-and-search laws on the grounds of reasonable suspicion.”
The Netherlands would become the first European country to ban the wearing of the burka in public situations, although there are already some local bans. Last year several Belgian towns, including Antwerp and Ghent, banned the wearing of the burka in public, and recently started issuing £100 spot fines for breaking the municipal ordinance. Several towns in Italy, including Como, have invoked legislation introduced by Mussolini that bans hiding one’s face in public to impose fines on burka-wearers. France and several regions of Germany have followed Turkey and Tunisia in banning the wearing of the hijab, which leaves the face visible, in public buildings, most controversially in schools.
THE TWENTY DANGER SIGNS OF MILITANT ISLAM
Tuesday, October 11, 2005
An interesting list from Jihad watch...
1. Justification of any Islamic Terrorism, Palestinian or otherwise
2. Keeping quiet, or refusing to condemn Osama Bin Laden, Al Qaeda, Hamas, or other terrorists or organizations
3. Promoting jihad for Muslims to fight against what they determine is "injustice" or "aggression"
4. Demands for Sharia law in the West, or denying that Sharia forbids equal rights for women
5. Demanding that Americans accommodate Islamic customs and practices, under American Pluralism, even when they conflict with American customs and practices
6. Denying that Muslims were involved in the terrorist attacks of 9/11
7. Charges or complaints of Muslims being unfairly targeted in the War On Terror
8. An unwillingness to discuss the actual contents of the Qur'an, including what the authoritative Muslim commnentators believe to be the meaning of certain passages, and the principle of interpretation known as naskh, or abrogation, and its significance for Infidels in understanding what Muslims make of the Qur'an.
9. A reluctance to discuss the contents of the Hadith, or the so-called "authentic Hadith"-- those that are categorized as such by the most authoritative muhaditthin, such as as al-Buhkari and Muslim.
10. An unwillingness to discuss the ways in which many Muslims refuse to fully divulge, and instead seem intent in dissembling, about the teachings of Islam.
11. An unwilliness to discuss the history of Jihad-conquest, as studied not by apologists for Islam, both Muslim and non-Muslim, but by the leading Westen scholars, a representative sampling of whose work can be found in the just-published "The Legacy of Jihad" by Andrew Bostom.
12. An unwillingness to discuss "reform" of Islam in any but the most general terms, without explaining precisely what such "reform" would necessarily entail, and how such "reform" would be convincingly presented, with scriptural authority within the canonical texts of Islam itself, so that it might be accepted by a billion Believers.
13. An unwillingness to discuss the relation of the tenets of Islam to the failure, despite the vast unearned riches that oil revenues have supplied ($10 trillion and counting), of Arab and Muslim states to create modern economies, or prosperity outside of a few small Gulf sheikhdoms, and within Saudi Arabia, for a distinct class consisting of the ruling family, its courtiers, and those who support the regime. In particular, how does inshallah-fatalism lead to a paralysis of entrepreneurial activity and to the attitudes necessary for sustained and productive labor, as opposed to whiling away the hours either in political activities, or the coffee-house lassitude and jabber, before a television set turned to some propaganda network, while cards are played, hubble-bubble pipes smoked, and yet another afternoon is while d away, and the locals and government officials both demand more aid from the Infidels because they essentially "owe it to us."
14. A total unwillingness to discuss the figure not of the historical Muhammad, but of Muhammad as he is presented in the Sira (the sacralized biography), where he is shown as condoning mass murder of helpless prisoners, approving of the political assassination of those (a woman and an aged man among them) whom he regarded as guilty of having mocked, or refused to accept him with the right attitude of submissive adoration), attacking an inoffensive Jewish tribe in order to seize their women and to obtain whatever loot could be distributed, and who coveted when she ws 6 years old, and married when she was 9, little Aisha -- a matter that reverberates today, for virtually Khomeini's first act was to lower the marriageable age of girls in the Islamic Republic of Iran to nine).
15. An unwillingness to discuss how the tenets of Islam, the attitudes within Islam that demand loyalty to the ruler as long as he is a Muslim, and that dismiss the worth of any sysem that would set up the consent of the governed -- i.e. mere mortals -- above the Holy Law of Islam, as derived from the holy books of Islam (Qur'an and Hadith, and the Example of Muhammad, uswa hasana, as set down in the Sira), which for a Believer is unacceptable.
16. An unwillingness to discuss how the attitudes toward women, attitudes that result in what most of us recognize as instititutionalized mistreatment, might be one of the reasons for the political, econonomic, and social backwardness that is to be found all over the Muslim lands, and precisely to the extent that they adhere more closely to Islam in their legal and social systems. Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Sudan, and Pakistan are among the worst offenders; Tunisia and Turkey, and the quite considerably de-islamized stans of Central Asia, among the best.
17. An unwillngness to discuss how it is that "moderate" Muslims at times, and for reasons completely beneath any Infidel's radar, into quite "immoderate" Muslims. The man who seems completely integrated, earning a small fortune as an Intel engineer, with three chidlren and an American wife, and who nonethelss after 9/11 gives it all up to travel to western China in the hopes of getting into Afghanistan to fight, against his fellow Americans, on behalf of the Taliban and its ally Al Qaeda (the example of "Mike" Hawash) is hardly the only one.
18. An unwillingness to study, to analyze, to admit to, and to figure out what can be done about, the Muslim doctrine as enshrined in the Qur'an, and elaborated up[on in the Hadith, and demonstrated in the life of Muhammad, the Muslim attitude toward non-Muslims. What can be done, within Islam itself, to change the basic manichean division of the world between Believer and Infidel? If a Muslim denies such a division, then he is not a "moderate" but someone who is intent on keeping Infidels in the dark about the that aspect of Islam which, for those Infidels, is the most important. Any Muslim who pretends that the institution of the dhimmi did not exist, or as Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, the Turkish historian who is currently the Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Countries, would have us believe, was not bad but in fact almost a privilege kindly offered to a select group of non-Muslims -- the Ahl al-kitab -- as "protected peoples" (a highly misleading phrase, as if Al Capone were to refer to the owners of restaurants and liquor stores his men shook down as "protected people"), is not a true "moderate" but one more so-called "moderate" engaged in continued deceptioni.
19. An unwillingness to discuss the full extent of the disabilities imposed on non-Muslims who, as dhimmis, were allowed to live and even to practice their religion, but under circumstances so painful, so financiallly burdensome, and so socially and politicallly limiting, and at times so physically insecure, that over time a great many of those dhimmis, even aside from the intermittent spasms of forced conversion that would be ordered by a ruler (e.g. Shah Abbas in Persia), would in order to avoid continuing to endure that status of dhimmi would convert to Islam.
20. An unwillingness to discuss the role of Arab supremacist ideology within Islam, a presumably universalist belief system. The requirement that the Qur'an ideally be read in Arabic, that non-Arab speakers (such as those poor boys in Pakistan) devote much of their young lives in madrasas to memorizing a text they cannot possibly grasp in a language they do not know, the desirability of taking Arab names as part of islamization, the necessity of bowing five times a day in the direction of Arabia, the setting up as a Model for Mankind of a seventh-century denizen of Arabia and, secondarily as models, his companions, the often-comical false Arab lines of descent that non-Arabs assume, the cultural and linguistic and political imperialism that is part of what Muslim Arabs have inflicted on others, from the Kurds and the Berbers, to the black Muslims in Darfur, to the Afghans treated with such contempt by the local Al-Qaeda Arabs, to the non-Arabs of Pakistan and Indonesia who are encouraged to forget, or to regard with hostility, thepre-Islamic or non-Islamic parts of their own countries and civilizations, for nothing must exist but Islam, and islamization necessarily has carried with it the seeds, and more, of arabization.
Islamic group planning challenge to no-fly list
Wednesday, October 05, 2005
Mohamed Elmasry is a professional Jew-hater and terrorist apologist who doesn't seem to understand that civilization is rightfully fearful of the jihadis who make up his "religion". This is the same sack of excrement who said that any adult Israeli is a legitimate terrorist target.
Islamic group planning challenge to no-fly list
Canadian Press
TORONTO -- A national Islamic group is asking Muslims who have been stopped at Canadian airports to come forward in hopes of launching a legal challenge against no-fly lists.
The Canadian Islamic Congress has issued the call because many Muslims are making travel preparations for the hajj, a major religious ritual, early next year. About 5,000 Muslims in Canada are expected to make the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, in January.
Ottawa has said it wants to set up a no-fly list to take effect next year, though airlines already exercise their own security measures.
Congress president Mohamed Elmasry says he wants to know how people on the list would be notified, how long they would stay on it and how names could be removed.
In August, Elmasry sent a letter to federal Transport Minister Jean Lapierre opposing the planned list, expected to contain about 1,000 names.
Lapierre has said the list, to be developed with the help of the RCMP and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, would only name those who pose "an immediate threat to aviation security."
Elmasry cited one incident a few weeks ago in which he said a Muslim family from Ontario was not allowed to bring their baby on board.
Elmasry, who could not provide further details of the incident, said that case triggered the call to solicit other similar stories.
"It is funny and at the same time it's sad," Elmasry said. "This is really devastating to our community."

At least 25 dead as Bali rocked by blasts
CTV.ca News Staff
As many as four near-simultaneous explosions rocked Indonesia's resort island of Bali on Saturday, killing at least 25 people and wounding 50 others, police and local hospital officials said.
It is believed the victims included foreign tourists.
The blasts "were clearly the work of terrorists," police Maj. Gen. Ansyaad Mbai, a top Indonesian anti-terrorism official, told The Associated Press.
El Shinta radio reported that at least three blasts rocked Jimbaran beach, which is lined with seafood restaurants commonly frequented by tourists.
Another explosion is believed to have struck a bustling outdoor shopping centre in downtown Kuta, about 28 km away.
In 2003, suspected militants from the Jemaah Islamiyah militant group attacked the J.W. Marriott hotel in Jakarta, killing 12 people.
The group was blamed in an explosion outside the Australian Embassy that killed 10 in the same year, as well as the 2002 bombings on Bali island that killed 202 people, most of them foreigners.
Last month, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said he was worried that the network was plotting another attack.
