Johan Galtung sier at bombene på Bali i oktober 2002, der 200 ble drept, blant dem mange australiere, skyldes australske pedofile som har skjendet de rene omgivelsene.

Galtung kom med disse uttalelsene under et møte i Parkville Asylum. Dette er hva Galtung sa, ifølge en australsk blogg:

Galtung: I don’t know how you can talk about the Sari night club and the 12th of July (sic)…and not mention a word about Australian pedophiles operating in Bali, and what that might have meant for the people in that blessed island…

Galtung gikk tydeligvis inn for å provosere, i kjent stil, men dette er for drøy kost for de fleste australiere. Hendelsene på Bali gjorde et dypt inntrykk i Australia. Galtung gikk også langt i retning av å rettferdiggjøre islamsk terror:

Galtung: There is a saying in the Koran, 8:61, that when your antoagonist, your enemy, shows an inclination toward peace you should do the same. OK, there has been absolutely no inclination (to make peace)… I listen to the speeches by Mr Downer by Mr Howard, there isn’t one word of any kind of compassion for the victims of that side, or any understanding of what they [Muslims] call ‘trampling on Islam’. Well, go on like that, go on with that kind of talk — war on terrorism and all of that, and if you want too reprisals, you’ll get it…

Galtung synes statsminister Howard og utenriksminister Downer er like fanatiske som Osama bin Laden. Men bin Laden er i Galtungs øyne en intellektuell, hva han ikke vil si om de australske regjeringslederne.

Galtung: [their speeches are] so one-sided, so autistic, so self-righteous that it can only remind of me of one thing and that is Osama bin Laden’s outpourings…

Galtung: Osama bin Laden is more intellectual [than Howard]. He has more knowledge in his speech, if I may say so…I haven’t heard one intellectual point from Mr Howard or Mr Downer.

The guests were the Australian’s Michael Costello and a Norwegian garden gnome by the name of Johan Galtung, who calls himself the Peace Professor, is the Haydn Williams Fellow at Curtin University, and has been working the Tivoli circuit of relativist gatherings at our better institutions.
