Indonesia: Muslims plot jihad massacres during Christmas and New Year celebrations

Dec 15, 2018 1:41 pm By Robert Spencer

Targeting people who are in the midst of joyful celebrations is a superb way to “strike terror in the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60).

“Indonesian police foil terrorist plot,” Bangkok Post, December 13, 2018:

JAKARTA: Indonesian counterterrorism police have foiled a plot by two suspects who were planning to carry out terrorist attacks during Christmas and New Year celebrations, the police said Thursday.

National police spokesman Brig Gen Dedi Prasetyo told reporters that the attacks were to be launched somewhere in West Java Province, with the exact location still being investigated.

Brig Gen Dedi only identified the two suspects by their initials, B. and M.I., saying both men were arrested in Yogyakarta in the central part of Java Island.

“The two come from one terrorist network, and we are now investigating the movement of this network in Java. Hopefully, [we] can reveal the network so the atmosphere of Christmas and New Year celebrations will be conducive,” he said.

He also said that both were members of Islamic State-linked organisation Jamah Ansyarut Daulah….

    These are “soft targets” and a lot of people going about unsuspecting that a murderer is getting ready to terrorize and kill. Who wants to think about this even just going shopping for groceries, or a pair of shoes on a normal day of the year? Much less does one want to think such a thing when buying gifts for loved ones and getting ready to spend time with family and friends.

    Snakes take advantage of bunnies. Lions sneak in the tall grass, stalking the herds.

    moslims do the same, but for different reasons….all evil and foul.

      Let’s face it: wherever there are muslims, disaster lurks.

    Indonesia, unfortunately, is moving further and further away from a nominally muslim country with a largely secular government to one run more and more by muslim activists. I hate to say it, because I do know some very nice muslims from Indonesia, but what most likely motivates the authorities to move is two things:
    1. They fear loss of business investment and loss of tourist dollars in reaction to terror attacks targeting foreigners, who are largely not muslim.
    2. The country, despite elections, is really a despotic kleptocracy run by a small handful of extremely wealthy families, who have absolutely no intention of letting anyone else share the wealth, regardless of religious affiliation. That is why smart Indonesians leave there ASAP.

    Otherwise, SOSDD.

      Guy, would you rather that the country was run by muslims? Remember the Koran says:” Do not take infidels as friends. Smile at them, but in your hearts, hate them”

    Indonesia: Muslims plot jihad massacres during Christmas and New Year celebrations
    …………………..

    Of course they did.

    I just hope they caught them all.

    In recent years, grimly, along with the joy and hope of Christmas and the New Year, I am also braced for the horrors of Jihad–as has happened already at the Strasbourg Christmas market.

    God, I hate Islam.

      Why not retaliate and nuke Mecca?(during the Haaj) That might strike terror into the hearts of muslims. Just joking!(lol)

        A lot of people want to nuke the Muzzies and that is an environmentally unsound proposition. Muslims want to live in the 7th century so bad. Some strikes on their infrastructure, transportation, fields, dams, power plants,refineries, government buildings, military, ports, bridges, etcetera might be better.
        Just think Muslims would have their wish granted!
        Everyone forgets that General Sherman really did not kill very many civilians, he just made their lives miserable.

    I remember reading a newspaper article while working on Christmas Day in the mid l99O’s and it said that in the Philippines a group of muslimes threw several grenades into a Sunday school classroom/building full of children on Christmas mass killling 38 children and a couple adults. I was only l9-2O years old at the time but l was already very aware of my surroundings and l had always been a person that watched & read the news even as a child. This really upset me and made me furious what they had done to these innocent children so l knew the kind of “people” we were dealing with. Less than lO yrs later 9-ll happened and think of all the islamic religion related attacks and foiled attacks around the globe that have occurred since the mid l99O’s including the underwear bomber who tried to blow up a 747 full of non-believers on Christmas Day over Detoilet Michigan. This clearly must be a religion of peace when you take all this into account – only brainwashed morons would believe or say that.
