The main motive as always and in simple terms, is Muslim intolerence and violence towards non Muslims. Same Islamic barbarism, different geographic location.
No, that isn't true at all, there are very often macropolitical and micropolitical aims as well, but to understand that you would have to study each country seriously to understand that.
Indonesia is a very complex country with very complex forces at work, and until you start to really understand the relationships between Suharto & Sukarno, UDP and Golkar, the role of the PKI and the nature of the different islands, you will never understand it a all.
Simplstic, one-size-fits-all theories might feel good, but they are of very little use in understanding the real issues.
