Big surprise here. From 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.
Even IF the Fundamentalists managed to overthrow the West there would still be those giants of Population,Russia,India and China to contend with.
China in particular, has a short,sharp answer for dissidents of any sort.Bin Laden and his evil henchmen have taken on the World in their crazy fanaticism and the ropes are already tightening about their necks. Tragedy is so many innocent lives snuffed out by another Megalomaniac who wants to rule this planet.
