Come for the chicken. Stay for the jihad. The Islamic State recruits in modern, moderate Indonesia: “ISIS magazine Al Mustaqbal being handed out at Indonesian mosques along with ‘vouchers for fried chicken,'” by Freya Noble, Daily Mail Australia, August 10, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):
Images showing an ISIS magazine being circulated in Indonesia have emerged, with reports that the magazines and accompanying brochures are being handed out at mosques in the province of Java.
The third edition of Malay language publication Al Mustaqbal was released last month by the jihadist group, and is based on the theme of ‘Islamic State Undercover’, according to the magazine’s website.
The site, when translated to English, says the latest edition – which features a man waving the ISIS flag high above his head on the cover – ‘explores history, development, creed and manhaj (the Islamic methodology by which truth is reached).
It also says the magazine is recommended for ‘those who really want to know about ISIS’, pledges to ‘answer the myriad of questions and the rumours’ circulating about the group, and talks about ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
However the inside pages of the magazine are much more grim, and feature spreads of photographs of ISIS militants in battle, fighters taking out executions and rows of what look to be the dead bodies of children.
Pictures of world leaders such as former President of the United States George Bush and former Australian Foreign Minister Bob Carr also appear.
Many images of soldiers armed with heavy weaponry are also printed in the magazine, along with numerous photos showing dozens of ISIS members waving the black and white flag they are often seen with.
According to the Jakarta Globe, the Central Java Government recently discovered a chapter of ISIS which had been active in Malang, in the East Java Province of Indonesia, for over a month.
They have reportedly been using a village mosque in Sempu as their headquarters, and are calling themselves Ansharul Khilafah.
A man from Malang told Jakarta Globe he was alerted to a meeting held by the group where the magazines were being distributed via social media.
‘I was tagged about the establishment [of Ansharullah Khilafah] on Facebook, so my friends and I went [to the mosque]. There was a video screening and a sermon about ISIS.
‘They handed out Al Mustaqbal magazines, brochures and vouchers for fried chicken,’ Aji Prase told the Jakarta Globe.
This comes as Abu Bakar Bashir, who is currently imprisoned in Indonesia and has links to terrorist groups Al Qaeda, has apparently pledged his allegiance to ISIS.
Late last month the latest edition of ISIS’s English language propoganda magazine Dabiq was released, and according to Business Insider Indonesia was full of self justification of the extreme ideology the group follows.
It reportedly compares itself to a version of the story of Noah’s Arc and the flood, and says in the way in which people had no choice but to believe in God to survive, people should turn to ISIS if they wish to survive….
John C. Barile says
Mosques and madrassas are a ready-made network for spreading Islamic State propaganda. All Khalifah Ibrahim has to do is show himself to Dar al-Islam and fervent believers are predisposed to rally to him and his State.
John C. Barile says
“. . . Turn to ISIS . . . to survive . . .”–sounds like an offer what ya can’t refuse.
Jay Boo says
Indonesia is Obama friendly.
Just like Obama they recognize the Islamic State’s TRUE Islam.

Listen up all you Holier-Than-Them readers here at JW ! ! !
Do you really think it is easy getting Halal jihadist fried poultry to taste halfway delicious ?
By comparison, Kentucky Colonel Harlan Sanders had it easy … He did not have to include timers, batteries, wire, plastique, shrapnel, and a splash of camel urine.
John C. Barile says
Very astute, dude.
John Spielman says
I hear tell that halal chicken restaurants in Indonesia secretly use PORK fat to fry their chicken to try and make it taste decent.
jihad3tracker says
HA HA HA HA ! ! ! That’s a knee slapper, J.S. —-
Maybe this explains why jihadists are always in such foul moods …
They need a nice Jewish grandmother to make matzo ball soup and a good pastrami sandwich — with a crunchy Kosher pickle, all washed down with icy bubbly cream soda.
On second thought, maybe Islamic supremacists are pissed off in tribute to their Ultimo Psychopath Muhammad.

Thank you for putting this up, Ashley —
It says more about BHO than a hundred posts on his “foreign policy” …
Can you imagine FDR doing likewise ? Utterly out of the question.
Ashley says
You’re welcome, buddy. I had to share the outrage…
Speaking of outrage… http://pagesix.com/2013/11/20/valerie-jarrett-dating-ahmad-rashad/
Ashley says
I wonder if Ahmad Rashad and Valerie Jarrett are still an item?
Marken says
Hi Ashley, Very well done, connecting those two stories. To summarize, Bobby Moore converts to Quaranism, names himself Ahmad Rashad after his teacher the Quaranist founder Rashad Khalifa who claimed to be the final messenger. Rashad Khalifa said gabriel personally told him that sura 36:3 referred to him. Then the Saudis put out a fatwa against Khalifa and he is killed in the USA in 1989. 2013 Valerie Jarrett and Rashad become a couple. The big O rushes off to a golf game with Rashad and other elites, the game having been set up by one of Jarrett’s relatives. So yes, I would guess Jarrett and Rashad are still partnered.
Ashley says
Thank you, Marken…
I’m a sucker for a good love story, but something about this Rashad/Jarrett union frankly FREAKS ME OUT.
Thank you, too, for providing some details on Rashad Khalifa…I was unaware…
Beagle says
I remember when the sectarian violence started in Iraq. The first acts of violence were directed at mosques as though they are command and control centers. We could learn a thing or two from that.

“Come for the chicken. Stay for the jihad.” That’s a great line Robert! Sorry to be off topic, but it did make me burst out laughing!

Indonesian muslim leaders are split over their support for ISIS. They’re confused..

Christ said, “When you catch sight of the disgusting thing standing in a holy place.”….and He refers to the prophet Daniel (Matthew 24:15).
These savages, who commit serial crimes of murder, rape, child abuse, kidnapping, theft, etc., are saying that *they* are the ones to whom to run to be saved! How disgusting! How unholy! How blasphemous!
They are the ones from whom people need to be saved.
If they had been around in the time of Noah, most likely, looking at all available evidence, they would have killed him and his family for their faithfulness to the True God.
Revelation 13.

“vouchers for fried chicken”?
How the hell did Al Sharpton get into the act?
Elise says
Stop writing that Indonesia is “moderate”. This is the country where churches are burned down or demolished with bulldozers because the corruption money for a “permit” was not extended. The is a country where a widow, who had sex in the privacy of her own home with her lover, is raped by several men and a boy and then arrested for adultery and sentenced to jail and 100 lashes. Indonesia is in the stone age and has forced Christian men and women in Aceh to be circumcised. Women who sit astride motorcycles in tight fitting pants get arrested because this view arouses too many men. This is a country that has a governor who stole $8million in Aid money while people starve and lack an education and says the money is from Allah. This is a country that doesn’t give birth certificates to children of unmarried mothers or to those of unrecognized religions. Unfortunately people who are starving will join any group to get some ayam goreng. This is moderate Indonesia.
Mazo says
Indonesia is also the place where the government forced Muslims to convert to Hinduism and Christianity, where Islamist Acehnese worked together with non-Muslim East Timorese and West Papauns to fight the Indonesian government, and where Malay Muslims allied with Dayak non-Muslims to slaughter Madurese Muslims.
enwhitenment says
Just like after the tsunami when the world rallied to help the Acehnese & the islamist separatists ambushed aid convoys & looted whatever they could.
I was there you fuckwit so go get another banana and choke.
Luckily most that live within the Indonesian archipelago are muslim by name only just as a Sumatran does not call himself a Javanese few will consider themselves islamists.
Do you think the people of Banda Aceh are enjoying sharia ?
They are prisoners in their own country thanks to a poisonous middle eastern influence.
You have no place in society mazo so move on.
Mazo says
The world except Gaddafi was helping the Indonesian military massacre and rape Achenese for decades before the Tsunami. Same with West Papua.
enwhitenment says
Which is why Indonesia needs a democratic & secular government which I hope Joko Widodo can deliver.
Corruption is found on many levels sometimes because of poverty sometimes just greed and all Indonesians suffer for it.
You know yourself that Indonesia is made up of many peoples and few have not suffered from past dictators.
There are many remote areas where government or police & defence run their own race & make laws unto themselves.
I hope Indonesia as a whole can rid itself of hardline islamists.
Often when a church or like is burnt it is because poorly educated people are whipped into a frenzy.
Often by officials or religious leaders for their own purposes.
If you spend much time in Indonesia will know most peoples priorities are to eat and get their children education.
senior school is a bonus and university a dream for most.
I hope the banning of isil will show the world that Indonesia is Muslim country just the same as all of Europe is Christian ?.
Yes they could raise a huge army but they are not one people they are many.
People should stop talking of Indonesia as if they are all Abu bakar bashir followers because they are not.
I am sorry I abused you Mazo but Indonesia does not need the middle east’s problems.
I know how hard the lives of many Indonesians are and they need to be embraced not alienated.
Sometimes the only way to move forward is too not look backwards.
If Indonesia does not reject the problem makers it will fall the way of Syria or Iraq and many still remember the suffering that they have seen first hand when the leaders fail the people.
Joko has my support should he ever ask.
John C. Barile says
Can you really blame the Portugese, the Dutch, the British, The U.S. and Australia for everything in today’s Indonesia, Mazo? If so, don’t forget the Chinese and the Arabs, too.
John C. Barile says
And the Japanese; mustn’t forget.
Semeru says
I do not expect any reply from Elise who normally drops by and leaves comments about Indonesia.
The is a country where a widow, who had sex in the privacy of her own home with her lover, is raped by several men and a boy and then arrested for adultery and sentenced to jail and 100 lashes.
The story is, 8 men and a 13year old boy raided the home of the 25-year-old woman and allegedly caught her about to have sex with a 40-year-old married man.
The perpetrators tied up the woman’s companion and took the woman into another room, where they raped her.
There is nothing about her being sentenced to jail or receiving a hundred lashes. What is reported is the local Shariah Official Insisting that rape victim to be caned.
““We want the couple to be caned because they violated the religious bylaw on sexual relations,” Ibrahim Latif, the head of the Shariah office in the eastern town of Langsa
http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/news/aceh-rape-victim-caned-shariah-official-insists/
Indonesia is in the stone age and has forced Christian men and women in Aceh to be circumcised.
Elise, you should get your facts right. The forced circumcisions of christian men and women was not in Aceh but in the Moluccas Islands. These vile acts where perpetrated by the hands of Laskar Jihad,

Elise, Robert Spencer knows the bigotry and regression of the largest Muslim-majority in the world. He habitually refers to “modern, moderate” Indonesia–alternately, he refer thus to Malaysia–with subtle, biting sarcasm. He takes for granted that his readers with note the jarring dissonance of reality with these cosmetic catchphrases.
Semeru says
Robert Spencer knows the bigotry and regression of the largest Muslim-majority in the world.
So much for Mr Spencer knowledge of Indonesia, when he puts up an article such as this one.
They have reportedly been using a village mosque in Sempu as their headquarters, and are calling themselves Ansharul Khilafah
There is no mosque at Sempu, it is strictly forbidden to build anything there as it is a nature reserve
Semeru says
Yes you are quite right, there is another Sempu in Indonesia, but it is again highly unlikely there is a moske there. It is a volcano on the island of Sulawesi.
No I am not suggesting that the whole story is concocted. What I am pointing out is the part that Mr Spencer highlighted is poppycock, as no buildings are allowed on Sempu.
Also no there is no village in the Malang area called Sempu.
More from Mozzie repellant
Also, in relation to one of your earlier comments, I doubt you would be loudly complaining about any distinction between either being “lashed” or “caned”, if after being raped, you too had been given such a sentence for this supposed “crime”
Wo, hold your horses, The woman was not sentenced to a 100 lashes, if you read the link I supplied, you will notice that it was suggested that she should be caned.
As of today there are no reports that she has been jailed or caned.
GP says
What do you expect from a mosque? Perhaps these are the moderate muslims we’ve heard about? Perhaps the others teach their flock how to build explosive devices, hand out AK47s, and extol the virtues of jihad.
Wake up and smell the peace!

I have heard that shrapnel fed green chicken imported from paradise is delicious.
Could anything sound more beautiful in the morning than the sound of frying.
Semeru says
I have been to Sempu a few year ago. It is a truly remarkable place. Actually it is a small island that is of the coast of Java, to visit it you must take 15 minute boat trip from the nearest village on the main land. To visit the island which is a nature reserve, you must pay about $5 to the forest ranger to get permission to co to the island.
To visit the island you must bring your own food and drink and anything else you may need,such as medicine, because there are no hotels, restaurants, clinics or toilets, in fact there are no building what so ever, let alone a mosque or a fried chicken outlets to redeem vouchers
