Now remember, it would be totally racist to assume that this was done by a Muslim group. It could have been Hindus or Christians. Remember Tim McVeigh?
As a culturist, I can tell you it is not racist, it is a statistically very high probability that it is Muslims.
Racism is stupid and dangerous. Culturism is rational.

If you drink a bottle of Jack, bash your forehead with a steel pipe, and then lean over sideways, I think you'll see quite clearly it's a religion of peace.
As an Indonesian, I don't think that it is caused by religion. It is politics, even Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono said that there are plan of revolution in Indonesia from terrorist that hate him.
The bombing was done by an Al Qaida affiliated group. Would you say the bombing in Thailand about religion? How about India? The point is, when Muslims are bombing folks they disagree with all over the world, it is a religious group's pattern.
Furthermore, since these were attacks on western targets, I think it is hard to say this has nothing to do with religion.
I'd bet that, since they bomb, if this is meant to foment a revolution (targeting western sites), making Indonesia more strict as a Muslim nation would be one of the incentives they use to get martyrs.
Once again, terrorists have killed and wounded innocent people. My sympathies to the victims of these tragic attacks and their families. If you want to know more I have collected some good sites or articles (around 200) to get lots of latest information about Jakarta Bombings of 2009 at the Marriott and Ritz Carlton Hotels (covers the news, videos, pictures etc.,).

This is just turning up on the news. So far NBC has the most thorough coverage.
Bombs hit 2 hotels in Indonesia, police say Bodies reported at Marriott; Ritz-Carlton damaged by explosion
BREAKING NEWS msnbc.com news services updated less than 1 minute ago
JAKARTA, Indonesia - At least four people were killed Friday when bombs exploded at the Ritz-Carlton and Marriott hotels in Indonesian capital, police and a television station reported.
South Jakarta police Col. Firman Bundi said the dead were foreigners and their bodies were taken to a hospital.
Debris and shattered glass littered the street outside the neighboring hotels in an upscale Jakarta neighborhood. Ambulances were being shuttled into the area.
The bombs reportedly went off 5 minutes apart. This is the same Marriott hotel where 12 were killed in a 2003 attack blamed on terror network Jemaah Islamyah.

One more reason to avoid those very expensive hotels and to go to the backpack ones.

Alam,
The bombing was done by an Al Qaida affiliated group. Would you say the bombing in Thailand about religion? How about India? The point is, when Muslims are bombing folks they disagree with all over the world, it is a religious group's pattern.
Furthermore, since these were attacks on western targets, I think it is hard to say this has nothing to do with religion.

What do you think?

These bombings seem to never stop. It needs to be solved once and for all to stop all these innocent people dying.
