Big surprise here. From [1] Laksamana.net, with thanks to GMG:

The majority of the 33 prisoners convicted of involvement in the 12 October 2002 Bali bombings decided to boycott Indonesia's presidential elections, with bombing mastermind Imam Samudra declaring the elections 'haram' or forbidden under Islamic law. ...

Imam Samudra was not shy of grabbing journalist's attention and gestured through the bars of his cell.

Journalists were curious to know why the man behind the bombings had decided to boycott the election.

"Democracy is haram!" he answered.

"Whoever is the leader, this country will never be right unless it's replaced by the rule of Islamic law only," he said.
