That's quite interesting.

Makes sense... The name of the thread drew a raised eyebrow from me. After all, what does Turkey have to do with separatist rebels in Indonesia?

Are the Acehnese rebels Muslim? That seems to be indicated by the flag.

What the people in Aceh are doing is brilliant. There is often a way to subvert official propaganda, and they found the perfect way.

yeh the turkish symbol of the cresent moon and star is nowadays used as the symbol of islam...

the rebels in aceh are basicly a muslim movement... which probably adds into why the australian government wont bother listening to them and will turn its back as indonesia moves into to squash the rebelion...
