"There'll probably be retaliation. What is clear is that no drop of Muslim blood is free. It has consequences." The person who said this, mind you, was not similarly concerned about the non-Muslim blood shed by the Bali bombers.
"Jihadists vow revenge for bombers' executions," by Stephen Fitzpatrick for The Australian, November 10 (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):
INDONESIA was on high alert for terrorist attacks last night after hundreds of chanting supporters buried the Bali bombers and demanded revenge for their executions.Police clashed with hardline followers who gathered in two towns in Java to bury the bombers, whose bodies had been flown by helicopter from the prison island where they had been shot in an orange grove early yesterday morning.
Amrozi, his brother Ali Ghufron, also known as Mukhlas, and Imam Samudra died more than six years after the atrocity they planned and carried out, the October 2002 nightclub bombings that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians.
Authorities are worried about reprisals in the wake of the executions, and Australia has warned travellers to reconsider their plans to visit Indonesia.
After days of threats before the executions, Indonesian authorities yesterday maintained high security around tourist areas, shopping centres and foreign embassies. The Australian embassy in Jakarta was yesterday the subject of its fourth bomb threat in recent days.
"Our target is the Australian embassy and we will bomb it this morning," said the warning to Jakarta police, who sent their bomb squad to the mission. Nothing was found. [...]
Until the end, the bombers - members of the Jemaah Islamiah regional terror network - expressed no remorse for their "infidel" victims and claimed they wanted to die as martyrs.
The head of Indonesia's top Islamic body, the Majelis Ulama Indonesia, denounced the three bombers, saying they had not died as martyrs as they wished.
"To die as a martyr is impossible; people who kill cannot be said to be martyrs unless it is war," MUI head Umar Shihab told detik.com.
"I think it's not right. We are not at war. We are in peace and what they did, they killed Muslims."
"They killed Muslims." That's what makes it wrong in his eyes. Not that they killed non-Muslims.
Following their executions on the prison island of Nusakambangan, the bodies of Amrozi and Mukhlas were welcomed amid frenzied scenes in their home village of Tenggulun in East Java.Some in the crowd wept and shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" (God is great) at the sight of three vultures over the village as the helicopter bearing the bodies landed in a nearby field.
"This is God's grace," one member of the crowd shouted. "The mujaheddin (holy warriors) will fight on!"
Heavily armed paramilitary police could not control the 500-strong crowd that surged around the ambulances carrying the bodies from the helicopter.
Clashes broke out and the police were driven off the road amid shouts of "Jihad!" and "Get out!"
Abuse was hurled at foreign journalists, who were prevented from filming proceedings, and at police who formed a protective barrier along either side of the road before being overwhelmed by the sheer weight of numbers.
The bodies of Amrozi and Mukhlas were delivered to the village mosque for prayers, before being carried through a crowd of about 1000 onlookers - some having climbed trees to get a better view - to an Islamic boarding school founded by another of the bombers' siblings, Djafar Soddiq.
They were accompanied by Abu Bakar Bashir, the divisive preacher whose message of hate helped set the terrorists on their deadly campaign against the West.
The bodies of the two bombers, wrapped in shrouds, were later carried to two graves side by side in a specially cleared plot of land.
The site, which will become a shrine, features signs reading "Grave of the Islamic fighters, Amrozi and Mukhlas".
Ibrahim Hooper is no doubt firing off a strongly-worded letter to the people responsible for this, telling them that there was nothing Islamic about what Amrozi and Mukhlas did. Aren't you, Ibrahim?
There were similar chaotic scenes in the west Java town of Serang as Samudra's body was paraded to a graveyard, shrouded in a black cloth bearing a Koranic inscription in Arabic. "There'll probably be retaliation," said Ganna, 26, who had travelled 90km from Jakarta to show his support. "What is clear is that no drop of Muslim blood is free. It has consequences."Samudra's family handed out copies of what they claim was his final will, which urged supporters to continue to carry out attacks against non-Muslims.
The three bombers were executed by firing squads shortly after midnight. Each was blindfolded and tied to a stake in a clearing and executed simultaneously. Given the option of standing, sitting or kneeling as the 12-member squads took aim, they chose to sit.
The trio reportedly shouted out "Allahu Akbar" as they were taken to their deaths....

"...at the sight of three vultures..."
From the article.
Vultures appear to the the state bird of Islam! (Or perhaps it should be called the Official Bird of the Ummah.)

Yeah look at the choices they are making always the violent one. Here was an opportunity for them to condemn these heinous acts committed by the Islamic Jihadis instead they want to fight back and condone these acts of violence against non Muslims as worthy. Well that is what Islam is violence and hatred and this is what the apologists seem to be really missing. How sick.

Isn't Islam all about war? What is jihad? Aren't you supposed to wage war on all who oppose you?
Can these guys please get their religion right? I'm getting dizzy!

The Editor commented:

The Editor is right in his reasoning, but you have to give credit to Umar Shibab, he condemned the bombing and withheld the mantle of martyr from the bombers. This could be considered progress.
Many other Islamic authorities would have cheered them on and noted that though many Muslims had been killed, there were also a gladdening number of Kaffir Corpses.
War is usually won by a succession of victories small and large. This is one for our side. A Step At A Time...

What a bunch of ingrates, the authorities rewarded the bombers with the highest honor one can bestow upon a Jihadist - that is to kill them in order to send them the great celestial bordello in the sky.
Those protesters instead should have been demanding that the state execute them too or better yet blow themselves up.
Man, Muslims are a drag.
Kill them and their relatives complain.
Don't kill them and they still complain.

This is nothing unusual. I have never heard of any Muslim group or public figure do anything but blame the victim for self-defense or retribution, no matter how heinous the crime. But then Mo was a criminal, a heinous one. That's why Islamic morality is like non-Islamic morality in anti-matter.
Posted by: jewdog at November 9, 2008 5:59 PM
Fools, they should have weighted the bodies flown them out to sea, long way out to sea, and dumped them.
Then not told anyone what they'd done

A shrine? That sound awfully close to idolatry to me. This calls for a fatwa declaring that anyone worshipping at any such shrine is guilty of apostasy, and therefore under sentence of death.

Just food for thought for those who keep asking why they don't hear Muslims condemn terrorism...well, we do many times, people just don't listen:

Yeah I know your imbecilic Mohammedans are so stupid and retarded by their demonic religion that they cannot even read or even hear your despicable Imams have to say. These pathetic fatwas from a pathetic bunch of sorry human beings who follow a pedophile rapist, robber, and who was also illiterate is a joke a deceit and taquiya. What can you expect from thugs who follow a thug called Mohammad and a blood thirsty god called allah just the pitiful sorry state of the Mohammedans the most pathetic and sorry people in the world sheer embarrassing. Bunch of sick people the Mohammedans.

"There is some kind of a `junooniath,' (madness) among those indulging in the acts of terrorism. They should be cornered and countered," Madani said. "
Too bad the Muslims are doing such a poor job of policing those "few extremists who have hijacked Islam"

sheik
Love that come back!
"Since you are aware of the laws of defamation and slander we suggest you shut up or present your evidence."
This is how normal people treat these imperialistic scumbags, good for you sheik! If only our politicians acted in this way.

Yes AM of course your poor Mohammedans just took all the supply no wonder you ran out. The idiotic behavior still cannot be stopped by drugs either maybe it is a good idea to quarantine the Mohammedans they are pathetic like their leader the psyco Mohammad.

Mikail:
From your article:
Maulana Madani emphatically said that there was nothing called Islamic terrorism. Likewise arrest of a few Hindus can't be dubbed as Hindu terrorism, he said. "Terrorism has no religion. Don't link it to Islam, Hinduism or any other faith. What we demand is dropping of double standards in the investigation of acts of terrorism. Be just with all and take stern action against those who are proved guilty," he said.
More smoke and mirrors from Muslims like you. There are no double standards here. Terrorism is inspired by Islam in the minds of those who perform the terrorist acts like these three stooges of Mohammed. Your fatwas will do nothing to change the minds of these Islamic terrorist but is only an attempt to change the mind of Infidels that there's nothing to worry about regarding the so called Religion of Peace.

The Koran is nothing but a Terrorist Manual written by Warlord Mohammed.
Can you imagine the depraved and deficient mental state of the person who actually buys into the KKKoran?

"This is God's grace," one member of the crowd shouted. "The mujaheddin (holy warriors) will fight on!"
One wonders if the word "grace" is the best translation here.

Abdullah,
My you've been hard to track down. How've you been?
BTW, you still owe me an explanation regarding:
[Mohammad] then ordered to cut their hands and feet (and it was done), and their eyes were branded with heated pieces of iron, They were put in 'Al-Harra' and when they asked for water, no water was given to them." Sahih Bukhari, Ablutions (Wudu'), Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234
If I can recall the question: Do you justify Mohammed's actions above (i.e. dismembering, gouging eyes, leaving two humans to die of heat and thirst in the desert; that is, the actual acts independent of and irrespective of circumstances or context, as actions befitting a prophet of God? I'm referring specifically to the manner of capital punishment, not the fact of it. Should he have done it the way he did it?
Again, a simple yes or no, please.

Why, after 5/6 years in prison do "they" allow the bodies to be returned to the "villages" to be worshiped?
It just adds fuel to the fire....just quietly drop the drugged body's of these killers 5 miles out to sea from a helicopter?
Tell the media they were deported to Saudi Arabia?
Indonesia had better figure out a better plan, since this is going to continue.
Political heat needs to be put on the Clerics in charge of this power keg cult.

What, pray tell, are the consequences of Moslems deliberately shedding the blood of innocent Moslem women and children?
Posted by: demolay at November 10, 2008 10:25 AM
Abdullah Mikail,
Just wondering if you think Quranic verses on the coffins of the bombers upsets the 6,000 Ulama Islamic scholars in your link? Do they (and you) consider this use of the Quran as blasphemous as the Danish cartoons or the film that got Theo van Gogh killed, if not more so? If it's true that Allah punishes wayward Muslims more severely than non-believers, Islamic wrath should rain down even more harshly on those who defile the holy Quran by inscribing it on coffins of Islam-twisting terrorists like Samudra and Amrozi.
Quranic verses on terrorists' coffins don't seem to bother this brother, either. Rather than posting reminders here about ulama condemning terrorism, may I suggest leaving comments at his/her website, reminding them what the 6,000 Ulama Islamic scholars have decreed. Hearing it from you than from us kafirs would surely help more to show them the error of their ways, yes?
Peace,
yadayada

people are listening...the clerics said not a word against JIHAD...as usual...smoke and mirrors...the clerics are just practicing mass taqiyyah...as usual...intended for those who do not watch Islam too closely...

How curious....the website I posted on earlier is now protected and requires a logon. It didn't yesterday. Coincidence? Do they not want to openly and freely educate the world on what so "righteously" angers them? Or do they just allow access to those who think like them?
