Scum…

If the Muslim community in Indonesia had even a sliver of decency, they would put this man in a cage and never let him out.  Imagine the indoctrination this guy propogates to his community and congregation.  Sick…

Prominent Indonesian Cleric On Jakarta Attacks: Terror Justified Against Non-Muslims

Abu Bakar Bashir, a prominent cleric in Indonesia, has defended last Friday’s twin bombings in Jakarta which killed nine and left more than 50 wounded.

In an interview with The Australian newspaper, Bashir said that the use of terror is justified in the war against non-Muslims.

Authorities suspect involvement of a Jemaah Islamiya (JI) splinter group in Friday’s near-simultaneous suicide blasts at the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott hotels in Jakarta.

Bashir blamed the Indonesian government for the attacks, saying that terrorism will not end until Jakarta recognizes the supremacy of Islamic law.

“This [terror] will not end until the government follows the right path,” he said.

Asked by The Australian whether he felt any sadness for the victims of the attacks, Bashir said: “What makes me sad about the bombings was that it involved innocent people being killed.

“People such as women and children who are not involved in the fight against Muslims should not be killed.

“But the problem is we don’t know for sure that the victims weren’t involved in the fight against Islam. Even the thought of fighting against Islam is involvement. Everyone that thinks like that is allowed to be killed.”

Around 2,000 students attend the al-Mukmin religious school he co-founded and 15 of his former students are said to have been involved in terror activities across Indonesia.

However, Bashir denied links to his school and last week’s bombings.

“The connections between al-Mukmin and the Marriott bombing is just an allegation,” he said.

He also denied the existence of terror suspects belonging to the Muslim faith. “There are no Muslim terrorists. The terrorists are the CIA, the Americans, and the Australians. They’re the ones who terrorize Muslims. The Australians are making a fuss about their victims, but when it comes to Muslim victims they don’t say anything about it.”

Bashir believes foreign influence in Indonesia, particularly from the United States, has resulted in continued instability, and believes “the Islamic way” will serve as a solution.

“My war is to promote Islam through preaching. God willing, if the [Indonesian] government can return to the Islamic way, we can fight the Americans because those kafirs [non-Muslims] are weak. God willing, the jihadists will prevail.”

  • The worst is that this "cleric" has an Islamic school in which 1000 girls and 1000 boys go to study everyday. No wonder counterterrorism experts are denouncing Indonesia is doing nothing about the roots of terrorism.

    Abu Bakar Bashir: “But the problem is we don’t know for sure that the victims weren’t involved in the fight against Islam. Even the thought of fighting against Islam is involvement. Everyone that thinks like that is allowed to be killed...There are no Muslim terrorists."

    Killing someone because they think about fighting Islam is murder. Murder is terror, so there are Muslim terrorists. Of course we already knew this truth recalling the most evil demonstration of Muslim terror against the United States - September 11, 2001. We didn’t start this fight, but we must finish it. We must defeat these murdering, totalitarian Muslim bastards in bloody battle; if we don’t our children and grandchildren will live under Muslim oppression, tyranny and terror.

    Muslim bastards like Abu Bakar Bashir remind me of Communist bastards like Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong and Pol Pot. When the Communists murdered people by the hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands it was not terror either; it was "Communist justice." When Muslim Jihadists murder by the hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands it is not terror; it is "Muslim justice."

    Well, to Hell with Communist and Muslim justice. Wage just war against the evil, murdering bastards.

    How can any person born Muslim remain so?when their clergy say such things.
    They have no sense of decency or shame.

    I've seen on CNN the terrorist who perpetrated the BALI bombings.He
    was laughing when asked if he regreted what he did.Disgusting how
    happy he was,while noticing the reporter's subtle anger in his voice.

    Because stuff like that I didn't buy a pair of sneakers MADE IN INDONESIA
    (designed by Adidas),instead I purchased another from my country,Brazil
    (designed by NIKE).

    JEWHAWK,

    Quite right. I just passed a bunch of silly white Brits going into a newly opened Muslim/Asian fruit and veg store around the corner where I stay. The statement being made is, "Welcome to the UK whatever you believe in (shariah, jihad whatever, ) just welcome". Why can't these people use British fruit and veg shops (there is one on the next block, a good one, been there for years) ?

    Dear Southwood,your fellow anglo-saxon (native,true brits) countrymen are good-hearted folks,they believe that doing business with muslims will improve their relationship,simply by being politically correct.
    It's a kind of approach that only lead to a future of appeasement,a behavior in which someone makes sacrifices expecting some kind of "reward" at the end of the day;Neville Chamberlain did so in 1938.It FAILED.

    Muslims crave to TAKE OVER your country,convert you,your friends and family to ISLAM,no matter what.They did that everywhere they gone.It's a relentless modus operandi that didn't change throughout the centuries.

    Do yourself a FAVOR and make a list of shops owned by people like you and spread the word.YOUR money should be used to help BRITISH business only.If you have a business of yourself,do NOT hire muslims.

    I would never be so HARSH if I weren't 100 % SURE of what I'm talking about;British cultural survival means a lot for everyone on my side of the trench.

    "Bashir blamed the Indonesian government for the attacks, saying that terrorism will not end until Jakarta recognizes the supremacy of Islamic law." What's the superiority of Islamic law have to do with terrorizing Muslims? Caught in his own taqqiya it seems. "Innocent" civilain Muslims usually only die when their Muslim brother fighters use them as human shields, as they admitted they are waiting to do in the Swat valley in Pakistan. They don't care who they kill to get their own way, they are no better than spoiled children that bully the weak to get what they want. All in the name of a medieval god that's no more mature than his followers.
  • Grrrr! Bashir can take his Islamic Law and shove it up his . . . along with his HUA. HUA is a curse of a disease that is incurable, worse than gang green, that is why they have to wear those nasty rags on their heads. Shew!
