Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Ramadan in Indonesia: Islamic jihadists plant bomb in mall toilet

Jul 13, 2015 7:57 pm By Robert Spencer

Petugas kepolisian bersenjata lengkap menjaga ketat petugas Den 88 Antiteror Polda Metro Jaya yang membawa barang bukti yang didapat usai melakukan penggeledahan dikediaman Tuah Febriwansyah alias Ust Fahri yang diduga terlibat dalam jaringan ISIS di Setu,Ramadan calls for ever new and ingenious ways to kill. It is a time when Muslims are supposed to renew their commitment to Allah, and since jihad is an expression of that commitment, there is more of it during Ramadan.

“Police Link Mall Toilet Blast to Islamist Terrorists,” by Bayu Marhaenjati, Jakarta Globe, July 11, 2015:

Jakarta. Indonesian police have blamed Islamist radicals for a low-powered explosive that detonated in the toilet of a mall on the outskirts of Jakarta on Thursday that mirrored a blast at another mall in February.

CCTV footage showed a man walking into the toilet at the ground floor of the Alam Sutera mall, on the western outskirts of the capital, carrying a bag and exiting shortly before the blast occurred.

“We’ve got the CCTV [recording] and also an idea [of who the suspect might be],” Insp. Gen. Tito Karnavian, the chief of the Jakarta Police, told reporters on Saturday. “But we can’t disclose any more information pending the investigation.”

Tito, who previously headed the police’s elite counterterrorism unit, Densus 88, said it was likely that radicals linked to the Islamic State were behind the blast, in which no one was injured.

“This is something we’re looking into, whether there’s a connection with the Islamic State’s fatwa” on conducting jihad during the holy month of Ramadan, Tito said.

He added it was unlikely that the bomb was the work of homegrown terrorist network Jemaah Islamiyah, which is affiliated with al Qaeda, saying the explosion did not carry the usual JI signatures.

“JI is a remote possibility because they’ve never targeted the general public. Their targets have always been Western ones,” Tito said. “And in terms of the explosive, their bombs are more sophisticated, more advanced.”

Instead, he said, the Alam Sutera blast bore similar hallmarks to the low-powered detonation of a chlorine bomb at the ITC Depok on the southern outskirts of Jakarta on Feb. 23.

That incident, Tito said at the time, was the first known use in Indonesia of a chlorine bomb, which has been used extensively by Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq. No one was injured in the Depok blast.

Police blamed the Depok incident on Indonesians who had returned from fighting alongside Islamic State in Syria, although they have still not named any suspects in the case.

    My uncle once lit a cigarette and threw the butt into an enclosed pit toilet. He needed hospital treatment.

    Ramadan! The month of JIHAD…the month of MURDER…the month of PERSECUTION!

    Egyptian Al-Azhar Cleric Muhammad Zaki said: “Ramadhan has never been a month for the lazy. It has never been a month for tormenting one’s body or for sleep. It is a month for Jihad – Jihad of the soul, Jihad against Satan, and Jihad for the sake of Allah.”

    Killing during Ramadan…normative Islam…according to Islam’s top authority!

    Another Jihadi John. Malls remain an inviting target and this is just another reminder (if one is needed after Kenya).

    Fortunately only a toilet was killed, but perhaps there was a jinn inhabiting it–a kaffir one.
    “Because the shayaateen (devils) are evil, they like to frequent dirty places…al-Noor 24:26]
    Hence the shayaateen frequent the places where humans relieve themselves, and they want to do them harm. Abu Dawood and Ibn Maajah narrated that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “These toilets are visited (by jinn), so when any one of you goes to the toilet, let him say, ‘Allaahumma inni a’oodhu bika min al-khubthi wa’l-khabaa’ith (O Allaah, I seek refuge with You from evil and from the male and female devils).’”
    –Islamqa “How can a person conceal himself from the jinn when in the toilet?”

    Jinns can kill:
    “It is well known that Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaadah was killed by the jinn when he urinated in a hole in which was their dwelling place, and they said, “We have killed the leader of Khazraj Sa’d ibn ‘Ubaadah; we struck him with an arrow and we did not miss his heart.”

    Ibn Hazm said:
    “The jinn are real, and they are creatures created by Allah. Among them are kafirs (non-Muslims) and believers. They can see us but we cannot see them. They eat, have children, and die.

    There are numerous reports which indicate that a man may come to a deserted area, and a stone may be thrown at him, but he does not see anybody, or he may hear voices or a rustling sound like the rustling of trees, and other things that may make him feel distressed and scared. A jinn may also enter the body of a human, either because of love or with the intention of harming him, or for some other reason.”

    So the toilet may not have been uninhabited after all. Can a bomb kill a jinn? Well, something kills them….”they eat, have children, and die”

    “There is no doubt that the jinn die, for they are included in the words of Allah (interpretation of the meaning):

    “Whatsoever is on it (the earth) will perish.” [55:26]

    It should be noted that the world of the jinn is the world of the unseen, and we do not know anything about it except that which Allah has told us in His Book or on the lips of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

    Based on this, we cannot say anything about them except that which has been narrated in the texts of Islam; anything other than this is hidden from us. ”
    —Islamqa “Jinn Entering Human Bodies”

    {There, who said there was no jokes in Islam?…}
