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

Malaysia: 10 Muslims arrested for plotting massacres at entertainment outlets

Sep 17, 2018 2:13 pm By Robert Spencer

How did these Muslims misunderstand the moderate Islam that so famously prevails in Malaysia?

“Police arrest 10 terror cell militants,” by Farik Zolkepli, The Star, September 15, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

KUALA LUMPUR: Members of a terror cell which believes that the prophesied Imam Mahdi will emerge in Mecca this year have been arrested in several parts of the country along with militants of another group targeting entertainment joints in Melaka and Penang.

They are the Asoib and the Ar Rayah militant groups.

Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi Harun said the first arrests involved the Asoib cell in Selangor, Pahang, Johor and Terengganu, where five were arrested between Aug 11 and Aug 31.

The Bukit Aman Special Branch Counter Terrorism Division also rounded up five members of the Ar Rayah militant group in Melaka, Kelantan and Penang between Aug 25 and Aug 31, he added.

“The Asoib terror cell had misinterpreted the hadith (edict) and ended up believing that Imam Mahdi will come emerging in Mecca this year,” said Mohamad Fuzi.

He said the militants had planned to link up with the “army of Imam Mahdi” to attack secular countries and the dajjal (evil person).

One Asoib member had even gone to a Middle Eastern country to coordinate efforts on the terror groups’ attacks, he added.

“They had expected to be well equipped by the terror group there.”

On the Ar Rayah terror cell, the IGP said the group’s mastermind had planned to launch attacks on entertainment outlets in Melaka using smoke bombs.

“They believe using such bombs will cause panic and lead to heavy casualties,” he said, adding that five smoke bombs were also seized.

It is learnt that the group was also targeting entertainment outlets in Penang….

    There was a time when Islam in Malaysia could be described as ‘moderate’. But that was before the Saudi money started pouring in. Devotions have stiffened considerably over the past 30 years, but terrorism – by Shias at least – appears to be frowned upon.

    Malaysia: 10 Muslims arrested for plotting massacres at entertainment outlets
    ………………..

    Malaysia is still not Islamic enough for truly devout Mohammedans.

      It’s a bit more complicated than that. Malaysia is Sunni. The arrested terrorists are Shia. They would not be welcome even if they were not terrorists.

    Misunderstood the meaning of “entertainment”. These guys really should get a dictionary.

      No … this is LIFESTYLE JIHAD. Mohammed commanded Muslims to ‘CHANGE THINGS WITH YOUR HANDS’ if those things contradict ISLAMIC LAWS of conduct.

      Such FORBIDDEN PARTS OF NON-ISLAMIC CONDUCT ARE: 1) gender mixing in public 2) dancing 3) music 4) visual art 5) poetry 6) mixing with kafirs to socialize 7) any slight comments calling Islam into question.

      Jihadists attack ENTERTAINMENT VENUES, MUSIC HALLS, BEACHES, HOTELS, RESTAURANTS in order to kill KAFIRS and LAPSED MUSLIMS who are not practicing strict Sharia.

        “There is no fun in Islam”. (these are words of a prominent moslem leader)

        Islam prohibits arts, scientific progress, sports, romance (women seen as nothing more than tool of demographic jihad) etc. etc. Good art, regenerate art can literally bring the dead back to life – good art cures depression.

        Islamic dystopias create hell on Earth.

        Contrast with Dharmic worldview that regards Drama as the fifth Veda. Some Dharmic Scriptures are written as poetry rather than prose. I would like to point out that words Of Guru are Gurbani, not ordinary secular poetry. Guru (non-different from God and leads one to God) and Vani or Bani – Guru’s words. Guru’s Word (Gurbani is not ordinary worldly poetry.) Sikh Scripture is Gurbani – not mere worldly poetry.

        Ultimate Guru is Anhad Shabad (unstruck melody) and the Disciple is Consciousness. Mantra meditations allows for maximum development of mind and internal vision.

        Bhagawad Gita Scriputure teaches us about importance of duty – it is the duty of fair-minded persons to oppose all forms of jihad.

        The Divine Power (God) wishes for us to be happy and healthy. A fun-filled life full of happiness and knowledge of ultimate truths is a good life. I would like to see Swami Sivananda’s vision of a new civilization rooted in Happiness come to fruition – Divine Life Society instead of a dystopic jihad caliphate.

    How can Malaysians think Islam is their friend when ISLAMISTS read the source texts of Islam and then plan JIHAD?

    Malaysians are DELUSIONAL if they think that reading the Koran, Sira and hadiths will bring anything but BLOODSHED, DESTRUCTION and ENDLESS LAWSUITS.

    Malaysians, don’t underestimate the NEGATIVE EFFECT of LAWSUITS on your pitiful screwball country!

    ISLAM IS THE ENEMY OF MALAYSIA. WAKE UP!

    “The Asoib terror cell had misinterpreted the hadith….”, said the Inspector-General of Police.

    Islam must be the world’s worst-taught subject, with appalling teachers and hopeless students.
    Why?
    It is apparently forever being misunderstood, hijacked, radicalised, politicised, warped, twisted, distorted, perverted, wrongly interpreted, and so on and so on.

    This is the lie fed to us all, the old, tired duping of Bush. We have heard it by now ad nauseam, the increasingly worn and threadbare narrative that “Islam is peace”.

    No. Islam is not peace. Islam means submission. If you do not submit you are to be killed.
    Simple really.
