I don't know about 2002 but the media have reported this Xmas,.... that Indonesian Muslims have offered to stand guard at not only Christian Churches but places of worship of Hindus and Buddhists...
While I do agree the media do at times manipulate various things to suit the story,... the pool thing you mention,,.. no doubt as Bail was quiet they could have wandered around various hotels and found an empty pool to make the same point,... but did it the simple way by asking you to move...it can hardly be called a distortion of fact...
I've been at hotels during the peak season and sometimes even then the pool's be unused by tourists..
