Indonesian jihadist leader: wage jihad in other countries, not here

Abu Bakir Bashir asks his followers to take their Inner Spiritual Struggles elsewhere. The Saudis asked the same thing of Al-Qaeda, and they honored the deal -- for awhile. "Bashir warns against Indon jihad," from Agence France-Presse, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

HARDLINE cleric Abu Bakar Bashir today told his fellow Indonesian Muslims that if they wanted to go on jihad, they should do so outside the country.

“If you want to go on jihad, do not do it here (in Indonesia), but in the southern Philippines or even in Iraq,” Bashir told members and supporters of the Indonesian Mujahideen Council (MMI) in a sermon at a mosque in Kediri, East Java province, the state Antara news agency said.

Bashir chairs the MMI, an umbrella organisation advocating the implementation of Islamic Sharia law.

His sermon came as he was commenting on the “jihad” by the key players in the 2005 Bali bombings, for which he had been accused of advance knowledge and of having sanctioned the action.

He said that the Bali bombers had been on jihad but unfortunately “not at the right time or place”. He did not elaborate.

“Therefore I ask MMI followers not to imitate them because (their actions) are harmful. They miscalculated,” Bashir said.

Yes, they probably didn't realize that the West might react with strength.

When is this steaming POS finally going to be silenced with a bullet to the head?

Yeah, let's not blow up too many things for jihad inside a Muslim country. After all, those dummies in the West might not pay for all the repairs much longer. Plus, we don't want to lose tourism-the infidels are worthy of death but we love that money. Cause mayhem elsewehere.

And the Koran makes hypocrisy a grave offense? Utterly ridiculous.

BUT ISLAM IS TEH RELIGION OF PEACE™

We don't want this type of man silenced. He helps our cause. He is a living testament to the very real and dangerous reality of violent Islam.

Abu Bakir Bashir

Add him to your list: the list you bring out when discussing jihad. The list you consult when confronted by the argument that jihad is a peaceful, spiritual struggle. The list you point to when trying to demonstrate the pervasive and widely held acceptance of non-peaceful jihad. When you find yourself arguing against "that doesn't represent real Islam", point your opponent to Abu Bakir Bashir:
"You really should be trying to convince him and all his followers" can be your reply.

the japannes did not expect the reaction that they got in ww2 i have the feeling muslims will not like the reaction when islamic terrorist explode a a bomb on usa soil unfortuneyly that may be what it takes for the world to wake up

NIMBY is the watchword not only of Indonesia, but of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and the other Muslim states. But it doesn't mean what you think it means.

Not "Not in my backyard" but rather "Not in Muslims' backyard."

Stick to the certified Infidels. But leave us alone; we are Muslims. Yes, a little corrupt here and there, but what do you expect -- you'd do the same if you came to power, admit it. And aren't we still your fellow Muslims?

Niente dinamite, siamo musulmani. ("No explosives please, we're Muslims")

Ironically, this man is of pure Arab descent-- he's about as Indonesian as Elsie the Cow.

He has already stated publicly that Islam is in the final stages of a 1000-year long campaign against the Indonesian infidels, consolidating its destruction of the archipelago's indigeous and semi-indigenous cultures. Buddhist and Hindu temples burn by zombified Javanses mobs brainwashed by loonies like this twirp.

NIMBY? Give me a break!!! What exactly does he think Islam has been doing over there since 1000 AD? Plowing rice paddies???

The problem is, nobody joins the dots. And after Bali x 2, he has done enough damage already. And if people can't learn anything after what he has already done and said, then they're already beyond learning. How many people have been murdered in Indonesia because of him? Probably thousands. Given this backgroiund, he needs eliminating.

We may need to get some people in there who can train a few of the local Christians in sniper expertise. And give them the best equipment so they are able to defend themselves from vermin like this when they see the need.

So why can't we tell Muslims the same thing? Everytime they come to our shores, just say, sorry you'll have to wage jihad in another country and send them on their way.
They'll say no, jihad is a personal struggle. We don't want to go to war against you.
We say: "you want to wage jihad, do it somewhere else."
Private or political, we don't care. Jihad is something you do somewhere else.
If a MUSLIM country says jihad is a no-no, they can't object to a non-Muslim country saying the same thing.

Actually, thanks to political correctness, they can. Because a non-Muslim country saying no to Jihad would be an insult to Islam and its prophet. What are you, some kind of islamophobe?

Iraq is the 'salt-lick' for jihadists.
