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

Indonesia: Muslim family targeted three churches for jihad suicide bombings

Apr 11, 2019 9:00 am By Robert Spencer

The family that slays together, stays together.

“Couple jailed for conspiracy following family suicide bombings of three Indonesian churches,” Barnabas Fund, April 3, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A husband and wife were convicted and sentenced on 14 March for their role in facilitating the family suicide bombings of three churches in Indonesia in May 2018.

Agus Satrio Widodo was jailed for eight years and his wife, Damayanti, for three years and four months after a West Jakarta court found them guilty of “aiding criminal acts of terrorism” and “being involved in a criminal conspiracy”. The couple were involved in the planning and preparation of the attacks.

On 13 May 2018, six suicide bombers from the same family targeted early morning services at three churches of different denominations in the port city of Surabaya on the island of Java, killing 13 people and injuring more than 40.

Two brothers, aged 16 and 18, rode up on motorcycles to the first church to detonate their bombs at around 7.30 a.m. Five minutes later, their father exploded a car bomb in the grounds of a second church and their mother blew herself up, along with her daughters aged nine and twelve, at a third.

Islamic State later claimed responsibility for the attacks. Java police subsequently stated that the family had recently returned to Indonesia from Syria….

    There are many Muslims who strongly dislike Christians. Some Muslims even hate Christians so much that they even scheme to engage in violence against them, as seen in this case in Indonesia . One reason for this is that in the mosques and madrasas the Muslim clerics, as the imams who speak many awful and unproven terrible things against Christians and Christian doctrine. So much so the many Muslims get all worked up against Christians and Christian teachings and some those Muslims commit violent actions against Christians. Such false religious teachers, as those Muslim clerics, who speak to people unfounded and invalid evil things about Christians and Christian doctrines have been described in the Bible. For the Bible informs the reader in Second Peter 2:12. “They speak evil of things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.” [N.K.J.V.]

    It also should be make clear that in this specific above Bible verse, as well as in John 3:16. The word “Perish” does not mean loss of being but loss of well-being. As in going to ruin by ending up in languishing in torment in a terrible place of suffering that the Bible calls hell. Luke 16:19-31.

    Those specific cases in this above top article of this site about jihadist suicide/homicide bombing attacks against Christian of Indonesia exposes the Islamic delusion of the Muslim jihadist/ attackers as well as who dangerous they are . Therefore all Christians should remember the tragic reality that any jihadist just after his Islamic suicide /homicide attack right after he died ,to his shock and horror, he found himself trapped and suffering in the fires of an awful place the Bible calls “hell.” Luke 16:19-31. That jihad minded Muslim of ISIS was dangerous to self and others because that he was indoctrinated with and likewise believed in the doctrine found in the Quran, 44:54. 55:56. 78;31.,of a lust –filled sex paradise with many virgins, in in for his use only, because he died as a “martyr” for the cause of Islam. That jihadist will discover the hard way that he was instructed in and put his faith in a false doctrine that is from a false religious book of false religion .This doctrine of a paradise for the jihadist who died fighting for Islam was only an enticing religious story of fiction. The Bible does give warning against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4.] As for in a murderous jihad attack, in spite, of the Muslim clerics falsely calling it a “martyrdom operation.” That jihadist after in dies in a jihad murder attack, and learn too late, the truth of Bible with informs its reader that a murderer “will not inherit the Kingdom of God.” Galatians 5:21.

    In addition, such false teachers, as those imams and mullahs, who teach and ingrain false yet enticing doctrines as that a lust /sex fill place with virgins into the hearts and minds of others had been predicted in the Bible. For it is written, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine , but according to their own desires , because they have itching ears , they will heap up for themselves teachers ; and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables.” Second Timothy 3,4.

    Those heinous and horrible jihad suicide/homicide attacks committed by mind-programmed Muslims be those murderous jihad attacks occur or Indonesia as well as in other nations. For that demonic type Islamic terror murder attacks are, for a large part, the results of those deceitful and manipulative imams who brainwash even entire families into actually wanting to become human bombs. Those sly and insidious imams, and sometimes the mullahs , with their methods of mind control as well as their lines and lies .As “We will honor you” and “You will go to paradise “ and “We are doing this for Allah.” That’s some very strand kind of “We.” For the reader to should well understand the same Muslim clerics who brainwash other people and then send them out to commit a murderous jihad attack are never, ever the one who do in themselves. They brainwash and just brainwash and manipulate into carrying out those evil and deadly actions. All the while the mass murders are going on those same Muslim clerics sit home safe. This alone show what totally despicable cowardly villains those kind of Muslim clerics actually are. The Bible informs its reader that “The counsels of the wicked are deceitful.” Proverbs 12:5. [N.K.J.V.]
