Since 9/11 and Bali 2002 there has been distrust toward muslim people, further propergated by the attacks in London and Glasgow by Muslims from within.
Some people are also frustrated by a perceived soft line toward Bakar Bashir and other radicals by Indonesian authorities.
I need to emphasise that I am not one who supports this line of thought, but am aware of general anti muslim sentiments that abound.
I doubt that the bus load of white clad muslim kids would be seen as a threat, but some also see this as a lack of true integration when special schools and services for minority groups are run in this way.
