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

Indonesia: Muslim cleric orders multiple jihad massacres

May 19, 2018 9:42 am By Robert Spencer

A Muslim cleric? A man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and communicating it properly somehow got the idea that his religion commanded him to fight against and kill unbelievers? How could this have happened? Surely Pope Francis must be on his way to Indonesia right now to explain to Aman Abdurrahman how he has misunderstood his religion, and that authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.

“Death Penalty Demanded For Cleric Accused of Ordering Multiple Terror Attacks,” Associated Press, May 18, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Indonesian prosecutors on Friday demanded death for radical Islamic cleric Aman Abdurrahman who is accused of ordering attacks including a January 2016 suicide bombing and gun attack in Jakarta that killed four civilians and four attackers.

Abdurrahman, whom police and prosecutors say is a key ideologue for Islamic State militants in the country, sat impassively as the prosecution announced the sentencing demand before a panel of five judges.

Prosecution lawyer Anita Dewayani said Abdurrahman’s acts had resulted in deaths and injuries and there was no reason for lenience.

Abdurrahman’s next hearing was set for May 25 where he and his lawyer, appointed by the court after the cleric refused to be represented, will respond to the prosecution.

Prosecutors say Abdurrahman’s instructions from prison, where he was serving a terrorism-related sentence, resulted in several attacks in Indonesia, including the January 2016 attack on a Starbucks in Jakarta, an attack on a bus terminal in the capital that killed three police officers and an attack on a church in Kalimantan that killed a 2-year-old girl….

    Somewhere in the dim mind of a jihadist there must some ability to understand this:-

    “I am the lord thy God.Thou shalt Not kill”
    sixth commandment

    Jews understand it.Christians understand it.It is the moral LAW of true God{ of Moses,of Jesus Christ}

    muslims don’t get it :but then allah himself,in his commandment-of-God violating “holy” koran doesn’t get it either{see koran 2 :191)

    Ironically enough,this merchant of death will be sentenced to death.. by his own death cult.

    Prison hasn’t stopped his murderous course. Death is the only solution.

    He has taken life. His has been forfeited by him because he has taken innocent life.

    :”Whoever is shedding man’s blood, by man will his own blood be shed.” (Gen. 9:6)

    Mr Spencer I don’t know if you ever look into the comments section but I would advise you to look into the islamic attack against a caribbean country called Trinidad and Tobago. This was a attempted coup in the 1990’s.
    Muslims are a small part of that countrie’s population but they already had such an event there. And this was long before 911.
    The attackers were led by an imam, they screamed ”allah akbar” whilst they stormed the parliament. They held parliament hostage, the pm as well. They received an amnesty. However the prime minister whilst under gun point of islamic terrorists in the parliament was handed a microphone and told to order the army to stand down, Arthur Robinson at the time Pm said ”Attack with full force!”. For this he was shot in the leg. That is what you call a real leader for the republic.

    The reason I bring it up is because I see Trinidad and Tobago as an ideal experimental case. What I mean is, if you ever wanted to test the end effect of islam on a society you would ideally need a place where it didn’t exist before, we can say undoubtedly that islam only existed in the Caribbean since the British Colonization and the importation of people from the British empire eg India. Untouched soil so to speak. And in about 100 years on Trinidad and Tobago soil it went on to create a extremist group that would attack the symbols of state power(the parliament and the executive, the national tv station etc.).
    Percentage-wise Trinidad and Tobago has one of the highest numbers of islamists fighters going to places like Syria. They also have the problem of islamic gangs, and prison recruitment. What made matters much worse is the fact that the coup maker islamists were pardoned and the state never moved to execute them. Treason is a capital offence there but the State refused to act because of legal questions. So these men continued to live their life and spread their ideology.

    “A Muslim cleric? A man who has dedicated his life to understanding Islam correctly and communicating it properly somehow got the idea that his religion commanded him to fight against and kill unbelievers?”

    You mean, you would dare to question that en enlightened Western Social Democrat, by definition the wisest and most knowledgeable of human persons, whose pronunciations on anything, including matters about which he has never read a line? I’m shocked, shocked, shocked! Could all of our wise men of good will who have assured us that real Islam is all about peace and love could possibly be wrong?

    The death penalty is entirely insufficient as a deterrent. Allah has declared in the Qur’an that any Muslim who dies in Allah’s service, i.e. advancing Islam’s interests… is guaranteed entrance into Paradise. So death itself is welcomed by the jihadist.

    Fortunately, jihadist’s beliefs can be used against them. Their ‘strength’ is also their weakness.

    What IS sufficient as a deterrent is an ‘unclean’ execution. As Allah has also declared in the Qur’an that an unclean Muslim cannot enter paradise. A special cleansing ritual is required for an unclean Muslim to be restored to a clean status acceptable to Allah. Denied that ritual, a Muslim executed in an unclean manner is barred from paradise. No greater threat is possible for a devout, fundamentalist Muslim.

    As many know, any contact with any part of a pig renders a Muslim unclean. Thus, drowning a jihadist in a vat of pigs blood is an intolerable execution for a jihadist Muslim. I suggest that a televised execution of the condemned in a clear acrylic vat filled with pigs blood, while naked (stripped of all dignity) would put the proverbial “fear of God” into future jihadists.

    I also recommend that soldiers and policemen fighting jihadists be issued hollow point ammo that encapsulates some dried pigs blood. That way even wounded they are rendered unclean and if killed… by their own beliefs… there will be no virgins for them.

    Islam’s monstrosity must be met with a ruthlessness that makes clear that terrorist attacks risk the very worst of consequences for them.

    Will the UN vote to send war crime investigators to probe ISIS for war criminals? Or will they be content now that they have voted to send ‘war crime’ investigators to Gaza to investigate alleged Israeli acts of ‘war crime’ as this besieged country defended its borders against murdering Hamas, who claim to be allah’s enforcers and cult of death on earth? Will any votes be taken to investigate Hamas for war crimes? Surely inciting its own people to take women and babies to violent protests must rate as one of the vilest war crimes possible. And countries like South Africa who voted for the motion to send UN ‘war crime’ investigators to probe Israel’s self defense efforts in the face of violent over border invasion, will the UN vote to send UN investigators of genocide in view of that country’s statutory laws and evil and racist system used and devised to keep white South Africans out of the government and private sector job market?

      I agree with your comment except that it isn’t accurate to describe what Hamas is doing as a protest. It’s an attempted invasion.

        True.

        And no–the UN will not do anything about Islamic State war crimes.

    There is a big difference when christians and muslims would go to war:
    When the Christians would win, in the end they would “forgive” the muslims,
    Following order: The muslims would laugh their heads of about us, turn around and kill us all.

    When muslims would win: They would torture us and kill us right away, without any thought, empathy or compassion.

    And that, is the difference between muslims and Christians.

    Maybe if this Imam escapes he will immigrate to England and claim he is a persecuted “refugee” and set up shop there. That is how the West deals with these violent spewing, violent planning , promoting ,advancing and financing Imams .
