Tourists should stay away from Bali, see how they'd like that without the money that they bring in to the country.

Hello English Rose......bit of a catch 22 with Bali. The Balinese are mainly hindu and do not consider themselves Indonesian which are mainly Muslim.
Take the tourist dollar from Bali and the Balinese suffer because Indonesia will not provide for them.
Westerners, and the ease of access to them via the downtown bars and other haunts was the main reason that the Bali Terrorists (muslims) set up the Bali bombings.
Indonesia is a conglomeration of Island states(mostly muslim) which is loosely held together by the Indonesian government. I've been waiting for the whole thing to fall apart, which it eventually will, for years.
The Indonesian government cannot afford to crack down too hard on the misbehaving muslims because of the perceived trouble they will generate toward the government, such as riots which could lead to open rebellion. That is why there is the occasional church burned down and the christian murdered which authorities never seem to be able to control. Terry
I'd stay away from Indonesia because of other reasons as well, it's not a country like Australia where you have certain rights and privileges. If you get into trouble over there, you're on yer own.
In Ache sharia law rules the land.
