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

Moderate Indonesia: Islamic State jihadi stabs Security Minister

Oct 11, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Why was Indonesia’s much-celebrated moderate Islam not able for the perpetrator in this case to withstand the appeal of the Islamic State’s twisted, hijacked version?

“Suspected ISIS Terrorist Stabs Indonesian Security Minister,” Agence France-Presse, October 10, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A suspected ISIS radical stabbed Indonesia’s chief security minister as he was exiting a vehicle Thursday, leaving two deep wounds in his stomach and injuring three others in an assassination attempt on one of the country’s most powerful political figures.

Television images showed security officers wrestling a man and woman to the ground outside a university in Pandeglang on Java island after the attack on Wiranto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name….

The other three victims — a local police chief and two aides — had non-life-threatening injuries.

“They were stabbed but are in stable condition and fully conscious,” said Banten police chief Tomsi Tohir.

The suspects were identified as 31-year-old Syahril Alamsyah and Fitri Andriana, 21. Their relationship was unclear.

Police said Alamsyah had been “exposed to ISIL radicalism”, referring to the Islamic State group, without elaborating.

Eyewitness Madrohim told an AFP reporter that Andriana was dressed in a body-and-face-covering niqab….

Police did not say if either suspect belonged to one of dozens of radical groups that have pledged loyalty to the Islamic State group in Indonesia, which has long struggled with Islamist terrorism….

    More-Muslim-than-thou? Why did the jihadist attacker believe he had a right to kill Indonesian police commanders who were themselves Muslims? Why?

    Because Muslims who do not practice ALL Islamic teachings are at best called ‘hypocrites’… and at worst, lax Muslims are called KAFIR apostates … and those who voluntarily remove themselves from Islam should be killed, according to Sharia law.

    This type of thinking is called TAKFIRI IDEOLOGY … when “one who is a Muslim is declared impure” … (takfiri from kafir = a wrong-worshipper).

    Here is a problem that ALL lax or ‘moderate’ Muslims should be thoughtful about because ‘moderate’ Islam could kill them!

    Do moderate Muslims WANT TO LIVE IN CONSTANT FEAR, if they merely enjoy the occasional beer or the occasional bacon and eggs or if they want to attend a rock concert … all of which is haram?? Under the Taliban and ISIS, people were killed for less than that.

    The largest Islamic country in the world (Indonesia) will only get worse if Indonesian intellectuals don’t start assessing why Islam is so prone to JIHADIC TERRORISM and start helping Muslims to water down their fanaticism or simply abandon Islam altogether.

    While sympathizing with the victims of this attack, I hope that Indonesians will have a good look at Islamism and decide that it is not philosophy suited to the 21st century. I hope that the victims of the attack and Indonesian politicians will call upon the mullahs and Islamic scholars to tell the jihadis to lay off and change their thinking.

    WE CANNOT HAVE JIHAD IN A NUCLEAR ERA, BECAUSE IT WILL BE THE END OF US ALL … including ALL THE TAKFIRI JIHADISTS as well.

    Indonesians, think about that.

    Muslims in Indonesia now need protection from TAKFIRI MUSLIMS. Good luck with that.

    Is there a message here, like: “If we can attack your security minister, we can reach you, anywhere”? This sounds like the beginning of “radical” action in Indonesia.

    This is a very good reason the keep muslims out of your country even if it is a muslim country.

    If any country deserves ”ISIL radicalism” it is Indonesia. Enjoy, Indonesia, and don’t bother to help the rest of us.

    Indonesia is NOT moderate, they have the Sharia in Aceh and are killing the people of Papua!
