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

Indonesia: Islamic teachers instructed deadly youth riots to make country “more Muslim”

Jun 7, 2019 10:30 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

“Koran teachers linked to the campaign of defeated Indonesian presidential challenger Prabowo Subianto instructed teenagers to take part in last month’s deadly riots in Jakarta.”

Eight people were killed and hundreds of others were injured in the riots.

The entire election process of the world’s largest Muslim country was dominated by calls to be “more Islamic” where “a big chunk” of young people who comprised the electorate was reportedly in support of traditional Islam.

Indonesia has been slowly shifting to become increasingly Islamized.

Indonesia’s current president, Joko Widodo who managed to hold on to his leadership, was slammed by his opponent Subianto for not being sufficiently Islamic; and “accused of not being able to recite the Koran in proper Arabic.”

Post election Indonesia remains tense, amid threats of further riots.

But Westerners are repeatedly told: “violence has nothing to do with Islam.”

“Indonesia riots: Islamic teachers linked to defeated candidate Prabowo Subianto told teens to take part, human rights chief says”, by Amy Chew, South China Morning Post, June 5, 2019:

Koran teachers linked to the campaign of defeated Indonesian presidential challenger Prabowo Subianto instructed teenagers to take part in last month’s deadly riots in Jakarta, according to the country’s National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas Ham).

Eight people were killed and hundreds more wounded in the riots on May 21-22, which were triggered by the re-election of incumbent President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo, who triumphed over rival Prabowo after securing 55.5 per cent of the vote.

Many of the demonstrators were “young”, according to Komnas Ham, and took part in the protests because they were instructed by their religious teachers and friends….

    What a surprise. Eventually any Islamic majority country will descend into chaos, violence and extreme hatred and bigotry. Proof, take Iran very liberal until “true” Islam came into power, Afghanistan liberal and moderate until Jihadis took over, Pakistan was actually a very liberal society until Islamization has began. Now if there are three basket case Islamic Republics (BTW, all three of them are proclaimed Islamic Republics), you have it right in front of you. Need any further proof, wait until Indonesia spirals into another Islamic basket case, it is well on its way. Well I’m waiting for Sweden to join this elite league of Islamic successes.

    The imam instructed the youth to participate in violence, thus proving again that this is a highly POLITICAL IDEOLOGY is NOT the ‘religion of peace’. Islam is imposed by the sword and intimidation, rather than by kindness and reasonable persuasion. Islam cannot be defended or promoted by reason, logic or facts. Islam can only be promoted through deception, threats and violence.

    An Islamist government in Indonesia will likely become permanent through voter fraud.

      Voter fraud not required. All secular countries are making a fatal mistake already in supporting indoctrination centers for children – otherwise known as madrassas.

      Better yet when Muslims have administrative power in the government, they emphasize on the teaching of Islamic ideology within the education system to the detriment of other school subjects. They then give priority to academic qualification in Islamic studies, with huge expenditures on warped revisionist history in the standard textbooks : more Islamic colleges and universities and ultimately more mosques to provide overpaid jobs for mentally stunted graduates who would otherwise be unemployable in industry.

      Many of these blinkered PhD, MA and BA products are churned out to populate universities, colleges and corporations with government prodding to provide well-paid compulsory employment for them. Within these institutions they are tasked with imparting compulsory Islamic knowledge to non-Muslims.

      In a neighboring country some public universities are 100% reserved for Muslims only while others are allowed to provide a token 10% access for non-Muslims. Public-funded tertiary education thus becomes a privilege only for Muslims even if they just represent 50% of the population.

      This privilege mentality is already taking hold among the youth in Indonesia where they regard even the government of their nation as an exclusive Muslim right as per Prophet’s teaching.

      How could Indonesia and the world be so blind to allow the rampant Islamic brainwashing of children and youth ?

    Like other so-called moderate Muslim countries Indonesia is becoming more Islamic, more fanatical, more a haven for terrorists and devotees. Like Turkey or Egypt there is a huge pro sharia base of Muslims. The Sunni Islamic teachings across cultural and ethnic divisions around the world rots men’s brains equally. and yet, this diversity among Muslims is still trotted out as if Muslims can choose the intensity of the Islam they follow. One thing should be clear, there is equality in Islamic terrorism across this diversity of Muslims.
    It would be proper for Australia and the Philippines, with US help, to overthrow this Islamic republic, and insist on a secular government — where the occupying military installs non Muslims into the government; and those who wish to leave Islam are given Indonesian government protection — a policy the USA failed to implement with Iraq and Afghanistan. Islam should be declared a menace there and everywhere. And Australia can repatriate the many hundreds of thousands of Muslims who have flooded in.

    It can be understood that any demonstration or even riot in a muslim country will have been INSTRUCTED, and that the adherents are obeying.

    “For things which have been stipulated in the texts of Islam, the Ummah [Muslim community] possesses no power except to acknowledge and obey.”

    Fatwa from Dr. Salah al-Sawy, the Secretary-General of the Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America.

    The Assembly’s name is misleading. In Arabic they are the Group of Lawyers Implementing Sharia Law in the United States (per Philip Haney), a self-evidently unconstitutional body.

      “Implementing”, a word favoured by Anjem Choudary, means in this context “imposing”.

      Mr. Copeland,
      I had never heard of the AMJA organization until i read your post here, so i visited their web site and was redirected to the Clarion group (i believe part of the AMJA). Upon reading what they are about i was chilled to the very marrow of my bones!! I suggest every american needs to educate themselves on what it truly is about. By their own admissions, they will never follow our laws because its not shariah. They state certain guidelines for muslims in america to follow, all of which are detrimental to our society.
      It would be beneficial to everybody if one of the wonderful writers Mr. Spencer has under his wing to do a piece on this particular organization. Maybe if the “powers that be” become more knowledgable on this, they would curb or (hopefully) put a stop to the flood of immigrants besieging our wonderful FREE country.

        The Clarion Group is than antiIslam organization.

          Jun 8, 2019 at 8:37 pm

          The Clarion Project (not “Clarion Group”–this is a chain of hotels) is against violent Jihad.

          Is “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–admitting that Jihad terror is a core part of Islam? Looks like it…

          https://clarionproject.org/category/terrorism/

          Note that there are a lot of stories at the linked site about Muslims abusing their children, teaching them violent Jihad–just like in the story above. Is “DefenderofIslam” in favor of this child abuse? He certainly doesn’t say that he isn’t…

    BVC; just read your comment and took a peak. Yep, this seem to be standard…in fact I suspect one of my favorite stores was removed from a outdoor mall, after numerous rent increases drove them to close and whose ownership may have offended the new owner. They buy up malls and remove non sharia and infidel compatible owners and bring in some “preferred business”. According to what I read appears they are targeting banks and insurance companies you name it all to bring down the business with no interest competition. Add to this many organizations of support in every field you can think of and you’ll see the operation that is currently blind to the information stream. We are just getting purchased out of our country as long as they keep the secret of the goal of conquest. It could be stopped but information warfare has kept it silent. Once they got hold of our government offices small and large, educational systems, police departments and back it up with lawfare, and fear of revenge by terror they almost got us to submit. It will only take one bad election outcome for the left and then we will be subdued. Just like unsecured credit ….and the housing crisis no “one” saw as jobs were moving elsewhere and influence and property purchases, conquered land grew.

      All societies change over time. The Rome Republic and Early Roman Empire where sexual corrupt society. Caligula was than good example. Rome was the capital of thid corrupt sexual corruption. Modesty fashion thrend is than reaction to the inmodesty fashion thrend of the past. Playboy is nomore the playboy of the past. I buy doctor who green arrow flash supergirl and other dvd as I like then. Your conspiracy theories are just conspiracy in your mind.

        “Brian hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–wrote:

        …Modesty fashion thrend is than reaction to the inmodesty fashion thrend of the past. Playboy is nomore the playboy of the past.
        ………………..

        The idea that the horrors of Purdah–forced veiling (including child veiling), with beating, imprisonment, and murder if it is not observed–not allowing women to leave home without a “Mehram” (owner), and other abuse of women has *anything* to do with modesty is absurd, nor is it a backlash to the influence of things like Playboy magazine.

        This barbarism has always existed in Islam.

        Moreover, the idea that this is “modest”–in a creed that allows child marriage, forced marriage, polygamy, the rape of Infidels, and sex slavery, is just grotesque. There is *nothing* in the West like this.

        There is nothing moral in Islam.

Quite afew donot wear the hijab outside of the mosque. Your remark show you are than racist.

    Getting back to the article of Republic of Islamic Indonesia, and the growth of the influence, these directed riots to bring a better sharia is quite shocking, but it is the method. The statement of the directive should be on every news organization but it will not be due to the reaction of revenge and the truth is hate speech. ” Hear no evil, see no evil speak no evil ” , will never bring solutions if all is coded out and given a pass. Planes getting lost from an area where the a “better pilot” takes a nose dive it seems he got the message. Such horror is all to get people to submit to fear, fearful of knowledge and consequence of questions. 9/11 was exactly that, to bring the ideology of conquest to the U.S. to submit authorized by the legal jurist. Sickening results….but as clever as usual to blame the victim that was terrorized. With the exception of the Chicago gone wrong type. How fast it happens when information is silenced by the uninformed that thinks we need to protect the mask. How did they find our weakness, they studied our economy, culture , religion, laws and found the left liberals called themselves a race, not we need to unmask the other.
