The people affected by this disaster and who will be receiving the aid are unlikely to be extremists. People living in such coastal areas are pragmatic and too busy trying to make a living to be idealists. They will recognise who it is that are helping them and will appreciate such assistance. Almost entirely, Indonesia muslims are conservative, a handful out of 200 million however can generate a lot of publicity. To assume that the victims are extremists and will turn it all against the West indicates little knowledge or understanding of them or their culture.
