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

Indonesia: Muslim detonates pressure-cooker bomb at government office, “possibly” linked to the Islamic State

Mar 2, 2017 11:26 am By Robert Spencer

Indonesia has the largest Muslim population of any country in the world, but only its Aceh province fully implements Sharia. And so for adherents of the Islamic State, it is governed by apostates who must be killed as per Islamic law. This is a global war driven by a religious ideology, the existence of which no one in authority worldwide (with the notable exception of President Trump and some of his team) wishes to acknowledge.

“Indonesia: Bomb explodes in Bandung, one man captured ‘possibly’ linked to IS,” Reuters, February 27, 2017 (thanks to Ray):

A MILITANT killed by police in Indonesia after detonating a small bomb in the city of Bandung on Monday was “possibly” part of a radical network sympathetic to Islamic State, police said. The blast in the courtyard of a government office in the capital of West Java province did not cause any casualties and the bomber was shot by police after running into the building.

The militant had arrived at the office on a motorbike and placed his home-made bomb, assembled using a pressure cooker, in the corner of the courtyard.

The attacker had demanded that Indonesia’s anti-terror police unit, Densus 88, release all its detainees, according to provincial police chief Anton Charliyan.

The police chief speculated that he may have been linked to Jemaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), a group on a U.S. State Department “terrorist” list.

“There’s a possibility of JAD,” Charliyan said, when asked which group the militant belonged to.

JAD is an umbrella organization that is estimated by Indonesian authorities to include hundreds of Islamic State sympathizers in the Southeast Asian country….

    Muslims are constantly killing people day in and day out then wonder why the non-Muslim world rejects their evil religion of Islam and its ways

    Perhaps this ( thankfully dead piece of garbage) is making deals with, GASP, GASP– Israel.

    That is so unislamic.

    Indonesia might need another crackdown on people who don’t follow the government’s line.

    Sukarno did it, i forgot how many “disappeared”, but all was quiet for a long time.

    The L in ISIL stands for Levant. Levant is a larger area of the Middle East that includes even Israel.

    President Obama used ISIL because he does not support Israel.

    Obama believes he is the Islamic Savior, the Mahdi. He believes he will lead the world into one religion of Islam. Everything he has ever done is focused on pulling down America, while raising up Islam.

    The biggest misconception in America today is that “radical Islam” is our biggest threat.

    Radical Jihad can cost American lives.
    Moderate Hijrad will cost American it’s nation.

    “A review of information compiled by a Senate committee in 2016 reveals that 72 individuals from the seven countries covered in President Trump’s vetting executive order have been convicted in terror cases since the 9/11 attacks,” writes CIS researcher Jessica Vaughn.

    WHAT IS HIJRAH?
    We understand far too little about Muslims leaving their homes. What is Hijrah? Obama is well educated in the Muslim religion since he studied it while living in Indonesia. He does not want this email to be spread all over the US because he wants us to be totally ignorant of what is really going on with the ISIL movement. All this turmoil now makes sense. Sad, and doesn’t bode well for us at all.

    So what is a Hijrah? Hijrah is when large scale mass migrations become invasions. What is happening in parts of Europe right now, actually appears to be a hijrah as the Quran describes it. This is NOT going to end well. Because it appears the policies of the liberal socialist leaders in Europe and the US do not want to keep their lands from being overrun.

    Why? I couldn’t figure out why other Arab countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, etc.) weren’t taking in refugees, so I started digging.

    Hijrah is jihad by emigration. It means moving to a new land in order to bring Islam there and is considered in Islam to be a holy and revered action. “And whoever emigrates for the cause of Allah will find on the earth many locations and abundance, and whoever leaves his home as an emigrant to Allah and His Messenger and then death overtakes him, his reward has already become incumbent upon Allah.” Surah 4:100.

    So, if a Muslim dies in the process of immigrating to another country, that’s essentially the same as being a suicide bomber, his reward is automatic. This explains the great eagerness to undertake such a perilous journey.

    Muhammad and his followers emigrated from Mecca to Yathrib/Medina in 622 CE. It was there that he became a military leader though still uneducated. This is where all the commands to commit violence against unbelievers originated. It’s important to note that the Islamic calendar marks this as the beginning of Islam.

    This current massive hijrah was announced January 2016, although few Muslim countries paid the announcement much attention. A supporter (or member) of ISIL uploaded a document in Arabic that urged Muslims to get to Libya because of its proximity to southern Europe and for the important tactical value of its illegal immigration circuits to facilitate infiltration of European cities. Libya has a long coast and looks upon the southernmost countries of western European, which can be reached with ease by even a rudimentary boat.

    In February 2016, transcripts of telephone intercepts published in Italy said ISIL was threatening to send 500,000 migrants as a “psychological weapon” against Europe. The Italian Minister for the Interior, Angelino Alfano, said at the time, “If the militias of the Caliphate advance faster than the decisions of the international community how can we put out the fire in Libya and stem the migration flows? We are at risk of an exodus without precedent.”

    Also in February 2016, the Turkish intelligence service warned police that up to 3,000 trained jihadists were seeking to cross into Turkey from Syria and Iraq and then travel through Bulgaria and Hungary into western Europe and then into the rest of Europe. Sound familiar?

    In May 2016, a Libyan government adviser warned that Islamic State operatives were being” smuggled to Europe in migrant boats.”ISIL is profiting from the human trafficking trade, forcing boat owners to hand over their profits or be killed. Some ISIL operatives are already sheltered in safe houses in the south of the Europe.

    Groups of men, 17 to 25, from Palestine and Syria, cross into Bulgaria and from there move into the rest of the EU. A former Al Qaeda double agent told the BBC that he knew of two Egyptian brothers who reached Italy from Libya, accompanied by men who were deeply religious and fluent in Italian and French.

    Go watch the videos of those “refugees” again. How many of the “refugees” are 17-25 year old men and of military age? If that doesn’t convince you, we already know terrorists are coming through with the waves of refugees: five men were arrested attempting to cross the Bulgarian-Macedonian border with Islamic State propaganda, specific Jihadists prayers, and decapitation videos on their phones. They had been posing as refugees.

    UK Independence Party leader Nigel Farage warned: “I fear we face a direct threat to our civilization if we allow large numbers of people from that war torn region into Europe.

    Other Muslim countries are not “taking in” these “refugees” because this is a Hijrah into Europe. This is no humanitarian crisis. It is an invasion. Its goal is to transform Europe: over tax its economies, tear down its wealthiest nations, re-draw the demographics and, of course, the culture.

    And our government wants to start letting them into our Country? Obama, having already announced over 100,000 are going to arrive in the USA in 2017.

    Are we all Forest Gumps? WAKE UP AMERICA!

    If you feel this is worth sharing with others, please copy and re-post, thanks.
