Jakarta, Aug 1 (DPA) Young Indonesians are sending a defiant message to extremists behind the deadly July 17 bombings of two Jakarta hotels: 'We are not afraid.'

An internet campaign against terrorism in response to the attacks on the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels has come into vogue among young, technology-savvy Indonesians with its slogans 'Indonesia unite!' and 'We are not afraid'.

A profile for IndonesiaUnite on the popular social-networking site Facebook has picked up nearly 200,000 members, and IndonesiaUnite also became the most popular topic for some time on the microblogging site Twitter.

National television channels have also amplified the message by inviting key people behind the movement to speak on their shows.

The hotel attacks -- which killed nine people, including two suspected suicide bombers and six foreigners -- sparked fears of a return of turmoil to Indonesia after a few years of calm.

But analysts said Indonesia's economic and political stability is strong enough to overcome the fallout from the bombings.

'Say and show that we are not afraid of all acts of terrorism,' said a message on the campaign's website, indonesiaunite.com. 'Go about your business as usual, but stay alert.'

The website also urged Indonesians to raise national flags and buy local products.

'What IndonesiaUnite aims to achieve is to reach the heart of every Indonesian who cares about driving the nation forward and doing something about it,' said Aulia Masna, a blogger and one of the key proponents of the campaign.

'Terrorism can be extinguished through education, tolerance, welfare and understanding because people who don't have these things could be crazy enough to murder their fellow countrymen,' he said.

The IndonesiaUnite movement has also distributed T-shirts printed with the slogan 'We are not afraid' and composed a theme song of the same title to spread the message of defiance against terrorists.

Supporters were planning to bring the campaign offline by organising events across the country in the run-up to Indonesia's independence day Aug 17, Aulia said.
