They appeal to other Muslims by presenting themselves as the "good" Muslims who are standing against the "hypocrites." This is the kind of thing that peaceful Muslims must confront, if they are ever going to stop it, but instead in the West we are again and again exhorted simply to ignore it on pain of being charged with "Islamophobia."
"Bali bomber feels 'beautiful' facing end," by Lindsay Murdoch in the Sydney Morning Herald (thanks to JE):
ONE of the Bali bombers has written from his Indonesian jail that he feels so "beautiful" on the eve of his execution that "no words can describe how good the feeling is".Mukhlas, the elder brother of the so-called smiling assassin Amrozi, posted a 10-page statement on the internet exhorting Muslims to show their support for him by turning out in mass numbers for his burial.
An Islamic militant's website is carrying the statement, fuelling fears the execution of the three bombers could ignite violence and arouse public sympathy for their cause in the world's biggest Muslim nation.
The controversial Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir warned last month of a "big disaster" in Indonesia if the executions were carried out. He made the comments after visiting the bombers in jail. But the Jakarta security expert Sidney Jones says that while the executions are likely to generate anger and retaliation against Indonesian government installations or personnel, "careful security arrangements should be able to prevent any incident".

A former Islamic preacher in his late 40s, Mukhlas has showed no remorse for helping to organise the 2002 bombings in Bali's Kuta tourist district, which killed 202 people, including 88 Australians. Many of the victims were Muslims. He claimed on the internet he has sympathy "from all Muslims in the world" for what he did as well as the "blessings of God". Earlier, the three bombers said in a signed statement smuggled from jail that their deaths would make them heroes to God and that being "thrown out of the country" would be "an adventure" and "a sightseeing trip".
"If we are executed, then our drops of blood that flow - with God's permission - will become light for those good Muslims and will become hell burning fire for those who are not Muslims and the hypocrites," they wrote....
Has all the earmarks of brainwashing.
I'm beginning to think death penalty is too easy punishment for them. We should gave them one-way tickets to Gitmo for their "sightseeing trip"
"If we are executed, then our drops of blood that flow - with God's permission - will become light for those good Muslims and will become hell burning fire for those who are not Muslims and the hypocrites,"
I am afraid that this sort of drivel just gets up my nose, why are they asking gods permission now; they just assumed it as given the last time these creatures from the abyss exploded their bombs? He feels so beautiful. I was going to ask what is so beautiful in blowing people up? But it seems so irrelevant, because I will never be able to understand the mindset of these addle pated baboons. Is there no logic left in the world, just mindless religious semantic twaddle.
'then our drops of blood that flow - with God's permission - will become light for those good Muslims '
My guess is that these Iraqi soldiers were'good moslem's' on patrol with our soldiers in Ninevah province ?
There is some disparity as to the date.
I heard it was December 25th (ABC) that this occured and the facts are only now coming to light.
Too much spin and lies and cover up from our devious corrupt leaders who sell us down the river.
THE clueless US MILITARY GOVERNMENT COMPLEX OF IDIOTS TRIED TO COVER THIS UP
'for reasons yet unknown,duh'
"For reasons that are as yet unknown, at least one Iraqi Army Soldier allegedly opened fire killing Capt. Rowdy Inman and Sgt. Benjamin Portell, both of whom were assigned to the 3rd Squadron, 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment," the military said in a statement released Saturday.
Three other U.S. soldiers and a civilian interpreter were wounded in the attack, the military said.
The incident happened on Dec. 26 in northern Iraq's Ninewah province as the U.S. Army and the Iraqi Army were working together "to establish a combat outpost," the military said.
"The Iraqi Soldier who allegedly opened fire, fled the scene but was identified by other Iraqi Army personnel and was then apprehended," the military said.
The military said two Iraqi soldiers were being held in connection with the incident.
When the deaths of Cpt. Inman and Sgt. Portell were announced last month the military made no mention of how they were killed other than that they died "from wounds received from small-arms fire during operations."

This is really very bad for the Bali tourism industry. But then, Islam has been very bad for Indonesia.
Sounds like the bravado of last month is fading ... you know, the bravado of these guys who were supposedly looking forward to the Big Event.
Now it's ... **IF** we are executed ... then please kill a whole bunch of people in retaliation, as if that's supposed to scare Indonesia into staying their executions.
It wouldn't help if Indonesia did that. Last year, troops barely held back a riot by relatives of the Bali bombings (read: incineration of innocents), who stormed the prison and tried to execute these arrogant sadists themselves.
One way or the other they are dead. And ^)(*&& them, too.
Off Topic, humble apologies, but has anyone seen this yet and will you please pass it around ???...

Why are these fiends getting any press at all?
They should be locked in a dungeon somewhere and allowed no contact with anyone but hostile guards. No preaching from cells, no book writing, no
nothing. The fact that their sick rantings get press, is sickening in itself...
These guys really need to decide which side of the Islamic street they're on. Are they willing to die in the cause of Allah? Then surely being executed by the faithless (Muslim or not) for their brave(?) act of jihad will not diminish their "accomplishments" in the eyes of their maker.
Muslims make a big deal about how this life doesn't mean that much to them (explaining why they crave death) but they won't go quietly. They aim to rule the earth as well as the heavens. Mohammad's goal was to remake the world in his own image. (Ironic that a Muslim would have a Messianic complex, compared to the man who washed his own disciples' feet.) Where's the sacrifice?
Well, of course, Christians (and others) believe that these men are doomed by their acts, both on earth and eternally after they are executed. Most death row inmates spend some quality time pondering their eternal destination while they still can, but not these guys. Instead these devils pile sophistries, threats and rationilzations upon us victims.
Is it any wonder why these people are such a vicious threat?
Imagine their surprise when they find out they ended up in a BAD place. Maybe one of them can report back to to the rest of them and give them a clue.....
A few years back, we had this conservative radio talk show host syndicated here in our area; Ken Hamblin. "The Black Avenger."
http://www.jewishaz.com/jewishnews/980403/hamblin.shtml
Hamblin referred to himself as a forty something or fifty year old "Colored Guy." He was bright and entertaining.
After the September 11, 2001 atrocities, he would begin many segments with the question, "What is a good Muslim."
My impression was, Hamblin believed Mr. bin Laden was and is a "good Muslim."
What is a good Muslim?
The Bali bombers, like nearly all Muslims, have been brainwashed by Islamic 'leaders' into thinking that what is taught by the Kuran is indisputable fact when in fact virtually the entire thing is unproven and unprovable and even a work of fantasy conceived by an evil, mass-murdering madman whose idea of morality was akin to chopping up a (screaming) 'non-believer' with an axe.
Contrary to Islamic teachigs, just because something is written in a book does not make it grounds for killing people brutally (and with unforgivable cruelty) much less for even believing it (there has to be some sort of factual BASIS for believing the thing). By Muslims' reasoning (sic), anyone could pick any book of their choice--"Little Red Riding Hood" for instance-- and call it a religious and sacred "truth" for all to abide by and upon pain of death for those with the temerity to disbelieve. Every religion, not just Islam, has a book (which of course is no BIG DEAL); non-Muslims generally have more intelligence than to use their book as grounds for killing those using a different book from theirs.
With no physical evidence to prove so much as a word of its contents, the Kuran can safely (in a matter of speaking of course as Islamic leaders will slaughter a body for doing so if they get caught)be written off as a book or tale and nothing more. But don't waste your breath telling that to Muslims who believe it within an inch of their lives (and yours).
More fool they.
That a condemned terr should feel "beautiful" on the eve of his execution is nothing new. Recall that the seminal jihad ideologue Sayyid Qutb kissed the gallows just before he was hanged by the Nasser regime in 1966.
Gates of Vienna has good coverage of the Lionheart affair.
"Bali bomber feels 'beautiful' facing end"
When the end comes. these characters are in for a big jolt on the other side, especially when they come face to face with their Prophet languishing in the same place.
Boy, does Mohammad have a lot to explain to a lot of people (PBUH).
From the comments on the article:
"This is the kind of thing that peaceful Muslims must confront, if they are ever going to stop it..."
As we continue to witness the news from this troubled part of the world, we find that peaceful Muslims are an endangered species in Indonesia.
From the article:
"But the Jakarta security expert Sidney Jones says that while the executions are likely to generate anger and retaliation against Indonesian government installations or personnel, "careful security arrangements should be able to prevent any incident".
The government of the republic of Indonesia expects to soon be embroiled in more violence and is preparing for it.
The executions may well be a triggering device for the escalation of this ancient conflict: Islam vs everyone else.
Here's a good website for quickly finding facts on any country:

You can see exactly what the underlining causes of the upcoming war are.
Combine the self-policing nature of Islam with the rising popularity of the fundamentalists and many brainwashed (hat tip to Bingo) murderers like Mukhlas result.
Too many freedom-loving people worldwide are failing to address our common enemy in truthful terms.
It's a deadly mistake, as history shows.
Imrozi feel "beautiful" about the Gallows? Wow! I wonder how he would feel if he knew we felt like it was New Years in Times Square?
It is nice when things work out where everyone gets what they want. What a Multi-Cultural moment.
Somehow one feels that the death penalty is not enough for such scoundrels.
What about slow death?
Dunk 'em in pig's blood before the exucution! That'll shut 'em up!
"ONE of the Bali bombers has written from his Indonesian jail that he feels so "beautiful" on the eve of his execution that "no words can describe how good the feeling is"."
I feel pretty/Oh, so pretty...!
"Mukhlas, the elder brother of the so-called smiling assassin Amrozi, posted a 10-page statement on the internet exhorting Muslims to show their support for him by turning out in mass numbers for his burial."
Given the mortality rate among attendees at Mohammedan funerals, this might not be such a bad idea.
