"Islam can't be ruled by others. Allah's law must stand above human law. There is no [example] of Islam and infidels, the right and the wrong, living together in peace"

Scott Atran interviews Indonesian jihad leader Abu Bakar Bashir, who says what I have said again and again about Islam. Bashir, you Islamophobe! "A chilling message for the infidels," from The First Post, with thanks to all who sent this in:

Scott Atran: What are the conditions for Islam to be strong?
Abu Bakar Bashir: The infidel country must be visited and spied upon. If we don't come to them, they will persecute Islam. They will prevent non-Muslims converting.
SA: What can the West, especially the US, do to make the world more peaceful?
ABB: They have to stop fighting Islam. That's impossible because it is sunnatullah [destiny, a law of nature], as Allah has said in the Koran. If they want to have peace, they have to accept to be governed by Islam.
SA: What if they persist?
ABB: We'll keep fighting them and they'll lose. The batil [falsehood] will lose sooner or later. I sent a letter to Bush. I said that you'll lose and there is no point for you [to fight us]. This [concept] is found in the Koran.
SA: Have you met Osama Bin Laden?
ABB: No, no. I want to though. After my release, I hope I can meet him.
SA: Where will you find him?
ABB: If he still exists - but how could I? I have sympathy for his struggle. Osama is Allah's soldier. When I heard his story, I came to the conclusion that he's mujahid, a soldier of Allah.
SA: You will always be on his side?
ABB: His tactics and calculations may sometimes be wrong, he's an ordinary human being after all. I don't agree with all of his actions. Osama believes in total war. This concept I don't agree with. If this occurs in an Islamic country, the fitnah [discord] will be felt by Muslims. But to attack them in their country [America] is fine.
SA: So this fight will never end?
ABB: Never. This fight is compulsory. Muslims who don't hate America sin. What I mean by America is George Bush's regime. There is no iman [belief] if one doesn't hate America.
SA: How can the American regime and its policies change?
ABB: We'll see. As long as there is no intention to fight us and Islam continues to grow there can be peace. This is the doctrine of Islam. Islam can't be ruled by others. Allah's law must stand above human law. There is no [example] of Islam and infidels, the right and the wrong, living together in peace.

I sure am glad that this guy is only representative of the tiny, teansie weansy, fringe minority of muslims.


????????
SA: What can the West, especially the US, do to make the world more peaceful?
ABB: "If they want to have peace, they have to accept to be governed by Islam."

Good thing this guy is in prison....keep him there...hahahahaha He's not sane. What the fuck is he talking about?

Man this world is crazy. Or it's actually people that are crazy.

Why don't they find some normal muslims and interview them instead? Well I guess it wouldn't be "intresting news" if they did!

What's a "normal" muslim, Cyrus? You said you weren't a muslim, so how would you even recognize a normal one?

For everyone else, if you haven't already seen this, please read it:

Well, it looks like our worst fears are about to become reality. Check this out:
Enjoy freedom of speech while you still have it, folks. Congress wants to take it away from you:
On Sept. 14, the US House of Representatives passed, 223-199, the ominous federal 'anti-hate' bill, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2005. It was inserted as AMDT.2662 into the Children's Safety Act. If approved unaltered by the senate judiciary, this legislation is ready for the President to sign into law. Go to the link and read the whole thing. It will make you want to cry.

Scott Atran has an editorial in the New York Post today in which he mentions the opinions of Bashir. In his article he classifies Bashir's ideas as a "radicallly new interpretation of Islam." Does Atran really believe this to be true? Even if one supposes the jihadist mentality as it exists today was developed in the mid-20th century in Egypt, this hardly constitutes a "radically new" idea.

"Islam can't be ruled by others"

Muslims must be ruled by the law of each land, just like other non-Muslim citizens, not the other way around. The code of conduct authored by a 7th century caravan raider, put forward in his best interests, is hardly a guide for the world. There are any number of better ways.

In time, followers of the "messenger" may get the message.

Normal muslim? Ain't none.

I heard the Bridge to the 21st Century was being closed since so many seemed to be going backwards (reverting) in stead of forward.

What Abu says is totally compliant with the Koran and the Sunnah.

In those rare moments when Moslems come forth with a refreshing burst of honesty (i.e., when for a brief moment they quit spouting their venomous taquiyya bullcrap) they really do achieve full clarity.

Kudos to Abu for making Islam clear. He's a good activist Moslem!

Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists are so quick to
commit suicide.

Let's see now . . .

No beer, No booze, No bars, No television, No cheerleaders, No baseball,
No football, No basketball, No hockey, No golf, No tailgate parties, No
Hooters, No pork BBQ, No hot dogs, No burgers, No lobster, shellfish, or
even frozen fish sticks.

Rags for clothes and towels for hats. Constant wailing from the guy next
door because he's sick and there are no doctors. Constant wailing from
the guy in the tower. No chocolate chip cookies, No Christmas.

You can't shave, Your wife can't shave, You can't shower to wash off the
smell of donkey cooked over burning camel dung.

The women wear baggy dresses and veils at all times. Your bride is
picked by someone else. She smells just like your donkey. But your
donkey has a better disposition.

Then they tell you that when you die it all gets better!

Is there a mystery here?

Islam is a cult of violence, destruction and death, given to a homicidal megalomaniac pedophile by the angel Satan disguised as the angel Gabriel.

To say Islam is a religion is the same as saying the Thugs of 18th century India was a religion.

That just about sums it up, WLF.
Cyrus, for someone who claims to not be a muslim, you sure are raging mad over the way muslims are perceived.

Bashir, the despicable one, this rat in rags, the poisoner of wells, the instigator and grey eminency of terror, the one guilty of incitement, the one who sends out willing fools to blow up Westerners, can not be accused of being dishonest.

Nothing about his Jihad against the West is new, he is in line with OBL, Zarqawi, Zawahiri and he has hundreds, probably thousands of fanatical followers who are eager to"martyr" themselves for him, something of course, that he himself would never do.

Indonesia didn't want to put him in Jail. His sympathizers accuse 'foreign powers' which makes them hate us more...

Now they are making all kinds of excuses to release him, for after all, he is such a "good Muslim", and he has such a large following....

Such a large following in fact, that those governing Indonesia get the jitters when they even think about it.

But those who govern Indonesia are also Muslims, and they don't want to be accused of not being 'good enough Muslims.' and 'not doing enough for the cause'- which is, as always, to spread violent Islam across the world.

The world, the western world, the Dar'al harb, prefers not to know. Ignoring this enemy and allowing them to spread their poison among us and to wreck havoc in our society, which will lead to the Islamization of Europe, civil wars, the Balkanization and the destruction of our countries and culture.

We won't have that. We can't have that!

When will we see action?

If I'm to believe this spokesman, that this fight is against (in his own words) "The Bush Regime". This would mean that there has never been any terroist act against anyone untill Bush was elected as president, and that it will end after he is no longer president.

I'm confused, weren't there just 2 President Bush's? Or, did the Koran tell them about this and they were just waiting for them to come into office. Or, is it that there is no real reason for them to do this and they will latch onto any excuse they can to gain their 15 mins "claim to fame".

I have tried to understand, a religion that teach's hatred, I have heard of this teacher, in my religion he is called "Satin", you can call him whatever you wish but he is still the same person. God have mercey on you.

I got this in an email from a good friend of mine and thought I'd pass it on.

Last month I attended my annual training session that's required for maintaining my state prison security clearance. During the training session there was a presentation by three speakers representing the Roman Catholic, Protestant and Muslim faiths, who explained each of their belief systems.

I was particularly interested in what the Islamic Imam had to say. The Imam gave a great presentation of the basics of Islam, complete with a video. After the presentations, time was provided for questions and answers.

When it was my turn, I directed my question to the Imam and asked, "Please, correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand that most Imams and clerics of Islam have declared a holy jihad [Holy war] against the infidels of the world. And, that by killing an infidel, which is a command to all Muslims, they are assured of a place in heaven. If that's the case, can you give me the definition of an infidel?"
There was no disagreement with my statements and without
Hesitation, he replied, "Nonbelievers!" I responded, "So, let me make sure I have this straight. All followers of Allah have been commanded to kill everyone who is not of your faith so they can go to Heaven. Is that correct??" The expression on his face changed from one of authority and command to that of a little boy who had just gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He sheepishly replied, "Yes." I then stated, "Well, sir, I have a real problem trying to imagine Pope John Paul commanding all Catholics to kill those of your faith or Dr. Stanley ordering Protestants to do the same in order to go to heaven!" The Imam was speechless.
I continued, "I also have a problem with being your friend when you and your brother clerics are telling your followers to kill me. Let me ask you a question. Would you rather have your Allah who tells you to kill me in order to go to Heaven or my Jesus who tells me to love you because I am going to Heaven and He wants you to be with me?" You could have heard a pin drop as the Imam hung his head in shame.
Needless to say, the organizers and/or promoters of the'Diversification' training seminar were not happy with my way of dealing with the Islamic, Imam and exposing the truth about the Muslim's beliefs.

I think everyone in the US should be required to read this, but with the liberal justice system, liberal media, and the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized.

This is a true story and the author, Rick Mathes, is a well-known leader in prison ministry.

I know its not politically correct to state the TRUTH...

But Dag nabbit..

The Muslims , the Islamic cleriks and the Koran are ALL Telling Us and Saying the SAME THING..

There will be nor can be any peace until
ALL
Jews and Christians are DEAD
All Infidels convert to islam
All nations on the face of the earth agree to
either pay the poll (Protection racket tax)
Submitt and be converted to islam
Or Are Subdued by FORCE..

Meaning Islam is worse than either the
Nazis or the Mafia..

At least they had rules (well for the Nazis very few)

Islam has no rules, no protections, no guarantees.

Its either
You become muslim
You pay the Proctection Money to muslims
Or you DIE..

WLF:

Great posting. It's something that needs to be said over and over.

But I have a question that maybe you or somebody else can answer: Why does the prison system allow anyone who counsels violence, implicitly or explicitly, access to convicts?

Some FACTS for the Idiots / morons who still think they can be "Friends" with islam..

Fact time

3037 total attacks (just the reported ones folks)

100% committed by muslims

Victims / body count

Total Killed or wounded by Islamic Terrorists worldwide since sept 12 2001

Killed Wounded

17492 37744

Again i post these FACTS!!!
as the idiots on the left and some on the right really believe that you can make peace with Islam

They are telling you the answer is NO!!!
and the facts prove it..

Wake up folks...

"This fight is compulsory. Muslims who don't hate America sin. [...] There is no iman [belief] if one doesn't hate America."

And the corollary would be, there is no self-defense in the West if we don't hate Islam.

Do these 'tards really think the rest of the world is going to roll over and let itself be ruled by their greasy beards?

WLF - Great post. It is well to reiterate that what Muslims say and do is not half as dangerous to us at what they are thinking, planning, and scheming, for duplicitous cordiality is another way of Jihad, or at the least Da'wa, a great danger to all non-Muslims.

I am surprised that not only the reporter who did the interview for this article but those of you who have thus far commmented on it missed a key portion of the statement by Bashir: "I sent a letter to Bush. I said that you will lose and there is no point for you [to fight us].This [concept] is found in the Koran."

I wonder if his letter ever reached Bush, the CIA, the FBI or someone in any intelligence agency? Considering how busy they are combing the internet e-mails of law abiding US citizens these days, did they have time to find this? More importantly who did or did not bring it to the attention of someone in a power position in the Administration? Do they understand what is being directly stated here or will they pass it off as; "there the extremists go again". Does any one in the administration care for the truth. Boy would I like to have those questions answered.

kwg1

This horrible man (Bashir) provides yet another example of what the smoking of camel poop does to the human brain.

Not a pretty sight, is it?

Everyone: AVOID SMOKING CAMEL POOP!!!

So I guess if we're going to loose - can I pay my Jizya in Copper, Lead or Tungsten?

> The code of conduct authored by a 7th century caravan raider, put forward in his best
> interests, is hardly a guide for the world. There are any number of better ways.

But that is kind of the point, this same 7th century caravan raider also produced something simply called, "The Paper", which suggested a government in which all beliefs where accepted, law was determined for the good of all, etc. This is in complete contradiction to what the radicals *want* to be true, so it has never been included in the Koran, is almost unknown to Muslims and is ignored by those that do know of its origins in much the same way that Bush ignores statements by the founding fathers that proclaim that the senate's veto right of his Supreme Court appointees is **supposed** to prevent one idiot promoting people to the position that serve 'his' interests, instead of the interests of the nation, among other things American fundies pretend never happened. This is hardly a surprising logic. Those that seek to spread irrational ideas *never* allow history, facts, evidence or even the true desires of their own founders to sway them from their course. To do so would be to admit they are wrong not merely in their actions, but much of what they believe.

Better dead than with a towel on your head.

If looks could kill, this rat would be a mass-murderer (sic). When Corby got 20 years for a bag of cannabis, she bawled her eyes out; when ABB got 30 months for murdering 202, he looked into the camera, flashing daggers of hate and terror into the hearts of any who dared to meet his gaze. His prison term gets reduced for Indonesian independance day, Ramadan, etc. Releasing ABB in a few months time is tantamount to letting OBL off the hook.

WLF

The story re Rick Mathes and his 'confrontation with an Imam', is apparently somewhat suspect. Try 'Rick Mathes' in google and check it out.

They come right out and state it in very simple terms what they're about, yet so many refuse to believe.

Robert Fisk, is one who refuses to believe, instead insisting he knows better than Bashir and OBL what their agenda is. He was interviewed on our ABC the other night, got all stroppy and indignant with the host. Dismissed OBL as boring, and dissed Bashir too. When the host talked about Bashir's words, Fisk said: "You keep quoting this guy like he's some kind of philosopher king. He's not." When Tony, the host replied, "But he is to the people who are blowing themselves up, that's the point,", Fisk retorted, "No, he's not". He then stated that these guys "have no serious backing or philosophical understanding of Islam themselves." LOL!

And Fisk's met OBL 3 times apparently, and he's "boring". I suppose because OBL doesn't parrot Fisk's Blame Bush's Amerikkka for Everything line. Fisk says Americans need to talk to and negotiate with the insurgents. But the way I see it is, Fisk & his ilk fervently desire Iraq to be a complete disaster, so they can say "nyaa, nyaa, nyaa, nyaa, nyaa". That's all it's about. They have no solutions, it's just about childish hatred.

Kagehi, a poster above:

"...it has never been included in the Koran, is almost unknown to Muslims and is ignored by those that do know of its origins ..."

Must be the 'Satanic Verses' then, No?

`Fisk's met OBL 3 times` ?

Then why hasn`t he been picked up? To what extent has he participated in Jihad?
I strongly suggest that his banking transactions for the last 5 years be investigated. That man`s conduct has credible grounds for investigations. He has been a courier of jihadist monies and the investigations will not be `boring`. He will learn the meaning of that word.

Whoever that asked me: If I am not a Muslims how can I know what a "normal" muslim is.

Well the answer is simple. I know a lot of muslims and some are good other aren't, just like christians and jews, buddhists and hindus. The way you recognize someone for being good or bad (normal or abnormal)simply lies in the persons actions and speaches, the way he reasons. Not in religion!

I have a lot of friends and they're parents are hardworking people who strive for the good in this world. And they are muslims (shocking huh?).

You people need to realise that all muslims just like christians haven't read their holy book, they simply are muslims because, they were born as muslims in a muslim family or they found that that religion is satisfying based upon the things they've heard (which doesn't have to be the truth they've heard).

So there are a lot of people that claim they are muslims but don't know shit about ISLAM and that goes for christians as well.

Nevertheless all of these holy books have several diffrent ways of interpretations, some people interpret the words as Ali Sina others make up their own "imaginary view" of what they read, in a way that satisfies them. Therefore just cause one is a muslims doesn't mean that he/she is supporting these crazy people that also have ISLAM as their religion. Some actually strive for the good of this world and for the good of people.

Now some might claim that these people don't know the truth about ISLAM and that may be true, Nevertheless it doesn't automatically make them a bad person (they're just not fully educated)...therefore we have Normal and good muslims too.

You people are prejudice, instead of hating ISLAM you hate ALL of the people that believe in islam. How does that make you better or diffrent? I know a lot of people of all religions including Islam that doesn't hate like you guys and they are fully normal and good people, polite as well as educated in this civilized western world.

forgot to write that others might have been forced to be/become muslims, as is the case in my country! Should all of them die too?

forgot to write that others might have been forced to be/become muslims, as is the case in my country! Should all of them die too? Afterall, they are muslims!

Cyrus:

Do yourself a favor and educate yourself.
People who post here do know about Islam.

If you are uninformed about the subject-matter people here are unlikely to take you seriously...

You must be an idiot man, so what that you know about islam man. other people that believe in it might not know as much as you know or they might not have the same view upon it as you do, and what I'm trying to say is that, that doesn't make them crazy like the rest of the terrorists!

I think this guy(Bashir) has escaped from mental hospital All jihadist's mental attitude starting from Prophet Mohammad to present day Abu Bakar Bashir are worth a research. For psychology P.hD candidates who has run out of research topics, this is a really interesting one.
