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

Indonesia: Mosques used to store crystal meth and serve as pickup points for drug smugglers

Jul 7, 2019 5:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Jihadists have used drugs to fund their efforts for years. Years ago, in his study of the Taliban, journalist Ahmed Rashid reported: “Abdul Rashid, the head of the Taliban’s anti-drugs control force in Kandahar, spelt out the nature of his unique job. He is authorized to impose a strict ban on the growing of hashish, ‘because it is consumed by Afghans and Muslims.’ But, Rashid tells me without a hint of sarcasm, ‘Opium is permissible because it is consumed by kafirs [unbelievers] in the West and not by Muslims or Afghans.’ This seems to have been a common view among the Taliban. Another Taliban named Khaled asked, ‘Who cares if heroin is wreaking havoc in the West? It doesn’t matter; they aren’t Muslims.’”

“Mosque used to store meth,” Jakarta Post, July 3, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Police are investigating a new drug trade practice of using mosques to securely store sabu-sabu (crystal methamphetamine).

The practice was uncovered after the police arrested a man they called D on June 27 in a parking lot of a fast food restaurant in Pondok Pucung, Pondok Aren district, South Tangerang, where he allegedly planned to carry out a transaction.

Police claim they confiscated 12.5 grams of meth from the suspect.

The police said they discovered that he had kept the meth in a mosque in Cinere, Depok, West Java.

D was reportedly only assigned to pick up the meth from the toilet of the mosque on Wednesday at 9.30 p.m. by a man that police identified as Ali, who is still at large.

Police said on the next day D went to the restaurant parking lot to hand the meth over to another unknown person. At that moment the Cilandak Police arrested D.

“Yes, that’s what we’ve been investigating: There’s a drug smuggling practice [using mosques as pickup points],” said Cilandak Police chief Sr. Comr. Kasto Subki as quoted by kompas.com on Tuesday….

    Just meth? No weapons or explosives? Can’t tell if it’s an improvement or not…

    Oh, and they are so “moral” …condemning the use of drugs and alcohol by others, while they engage in the same kind of illegal and immoral behavior.
    The meeting places of moslims are all about wrong doing, all about evil…storing illegal drugs, weapons, weekly preying and planning how to use their time and money to steal, rape and kill.
    It’s a wonder that the police even care.

    There was a news article about a woman there who was being harassed by her boss. He made obscene phone calls and so she recorded one of them. She took it to her imam for help. The imam copied it. The cops charged the woman with “distribution of obscene material” and sent her to jail for six months. The moslim, known as Mr muslim, her boss, was not charged, although he admitted to making the call.

      None of this surprises, Somehistory.

    Fitting in a way since Islam, ALL OF IT, is a drug in a symbolic sense.

    Ah–the “morality” of Islam again.

      There is none, no morality in Islam, it is pure hypocrisy.

        True, Leon.

      Wasn’t Indonesia held up as an example of moderate , proper, and successful Islam? Now we learn it’s another drug factory like Afghanistan?

    While admitting the same thing could conceivably happen in a Christian Church, I think the generality of people outwith Islam have the wrong notion of a mosque as a ‘holy’ place for Muslims. It is a lot more than just a place of prayer. What makes a Catholic Church a holy place is the dedication rite and the fact of the Real Presence dwelling therein.

      “The mosques are our barracks …. the faithful our soldiers” – old Islamic poem recited by Erdogan.
      “Out of the mosques wars should proceed. Prophet had sword to kill people” – Ayatollah Khomeini.

    Is this halaal? I’m just wondering

    Why is it that the simplest and best solution is never applied? Simple eradication of the opium poppy with a massive application of “Agent Orange” sprayed from aircraft, one side of Afghanistan to the other.

      Awful but no surprise, Punks. I’ve heard similar stories.
