Though I don't know if Indonesia was islamic in WWII. Back then, we still controlled it, and we were christian. I think that most of the population there was christian as well (like in the Phillippines) and that it only became an Islamic country after they had (rightfully, I think) won their independence.
Mr. Dutchman, read what you have typed there once more, very carefully, word per word, and see if it makes sense.

If it doesn't make sense, well heck. As long as my point gets across I don't matter if I'm writing something in English, then encrypt it using an alphanumeric key, translate what I've got into Chinese, encrypt that using another alphanumeric key, translate it into Indonesian and then back into English.
I suspect it wasn't the language itself he was referring to, so much as the appearence of a double-standard in the post; in a thread you started about diliking America supposedly forcing it's ways on the rest of the world, mostly through big buisiness, you blithly mention an incidence of Europe forcing it's views on the rest of the world, mostly be military force.

That, and the little matter of assuming the country had exactly the same religion as it's rulers, then switched after they threw them out.
