I grew up on Java and have family there and on Bali that I visit all the time. I’m not sure why you would blame foreign tourists when the real problem for Bali is Javanese. There is a fundamental difference in religion between the two islands. Balinese are primarily peaceful Hindu people, whereas Javanese tend more towards militant Islam. The issue is far more complex but I think this article is a bunch of bullshit.
