At a Qur'an recital class, they made bombs to kill the "enemies of Islam." From AFP, with thanks to Nicolei:
JAKARTA - Nine hardline Indonesian Muslims who attended a bomb-making class that went awry have gone on trial here and could face death if convicted under an anti-terror law, court officials said yesterday.The nine were accused of involvement in a bomb-making workshop held under the guise of a Quranic recital at a house in Cimanggis on the central island of Java in March, which ended when one of the assembled devices exploded.
Four of the group went on trial yesterday charged separately with 'taking part in a sinister conspiracy' to carry out an act of terrorism, said Mr Juniati, a clerk at the Cibinong district court, south of Jakarta....
The alleged leader of the group, 32-year-old Oman Rahman, has been charged with planning or motivating others to take part in terrorism and ordering others to illegally engage in efforts to produce explosives, Mr Agung said.
The bomb-making ingredients that the group was using were similar to those used in the Bali nightclub attacks of October 2002 in which 202 people were killed.
Police have said the group intended to use the bombs to battle 'enemies of Islam', but it was not clear if they were connected to the Al-Qaeda-linked Jemaah Islamiah (JI), which has carried out a spate of attacks in recent years.
Dum-Dum-Dum another nine bite the dust!!!
Burn in hell death-cult disciples,
satans waiting for you,
with a room,
with a view!!!
Qur'anic recitation, eh? Perhaps it should give rise to yet another group: Tajwid and Tawhid and Jihad.
Police have said the group intended to use the bombs to battle 'enemies of Islam',
That'd be everyone then!!!
"which ended when one of the assembled devices exploded."
To paraphrase what someone on LGF once wrote about this same sort of episode happening to a "palestinian":
Ah, another graduate of the Wily E. Coyote School of Explosive Technology . . .
The threat from islamic jihad in indonesia is increasing all the time as a result of the weaknesses of the recent Indonesian governments.
Unless there is a serious crackdown, Australia may be experiencing many further attacks in the future as the number of Bashir style clerics increases along with the new generation of recruits from the ever increasing madrassa schools.
I hope Howard is aware and will take steps in cooperation with the Indonesians to tackle this problem.
I find the posting of this article rather offensive. It attempts to link Islam with terrorism.
islam is a religion of butchers and murders.mohamed invented the religion to control his followers.he saw how the Jews and Christians controled their people by religion so he took parts of the Jewish and Christian religions,added his murderous butchery ideas and created islam.his book even has instructions on how to murder and butcher people.The Great Spirit has a special place in the under world for these devils.

The nine did a bad job. They should have been sucessful in one more attack against the 'infidels'. The world would know of one more instance of how wretched is Islam. That would be one more step towards the end of Islam.
Well, any way Islam's days are numbered.
igotit.
