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

Indonesia: Muslims who built bomb that exploded at police headquarters ran Qur’an study group

Nov 18, 2019 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

That most learned of imams, Pope Francis, is no doubt on his way to Deli Serdang right now, in order to explain to the surviving members of this Qur’an study group that “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”

“Two alleged assemblers of bomb in Medan blast shot dead in Deli Serdang,” by Apriadi Gunawan and Ruslan Sangadji, Jakarta Post, November 17, 2019:

Two men who were shot dead on Saturday in Deli Serdang regency, North Sumatra, were allegedly the assemblers of a bomb that recently exploded at the Medan Police headquarters.

North Sumatra Police chief Insp. Gen. Agus Andrianto said the two were shot in a gun fight with the police’s Densus 88 counterterrorism squad when a team ambushed four suspects, including the two who were shot, while they were riding motorcycles on a street in Hamparan Perak district in the regency.

One suspect was detained while the other escaped to nearby plantations.

“The bomb that they had assembled was used by [a suicide bomber] to attack the Medan Police headquarters,” said Agus.

A man who claimed he was an on-demand motorcycle taxi driver entered the police headquarters on Wednesday and blew himself up, killing himself and injuring six others.

The police have thus far named 18 suspects, including the wife of the suicide bomber.

Also on Saturday, the police detained another two suspects in Medan and three suspects in Aceh….

Djuhadi, 75, a resident in Sicanang, said the hut that the police had identified as the center of the group’s operation was actually someone’s home that had been left empty for four to five years.

“The members of the group has turned the place into a Quran study premise and also a place to practice archery,” he told The Jakarta Post….

      You shouldn’t say that. That’s just evil. I can assure you that your opinion is not shared by the readers here. This is a site about educating yourself about Islam.

      That’s what they want to do us infidels which is evil. Don’t allow Muslims to utilize their “victimhood jihad” against us when non-Muslims attack non-militant, non-aggressive Muslims. But, we should ban the entry of Muslims into the West. And, even if the “Muslim” has a sterling character (i.e., not much of a devout Muslim… which we really never can be sure about) they would do the most good staying in their country of origin to try and reform their Islamic tyrannical state. We should allow into the West only bona fide persecuted non-Muslims and apostates.

    The murderers were devout Muslims who were studying the Koran together. Pope Francis are not a devout Muslim and he probably had even less knowledge about the Koran than about the Bible.

    So who do you think is closer to the truth about Islam, the devout Muslim murderers or the pope?

    These bomb makers studied the Koran. I’m sure they knew it well. What do you think they made of the following verse which is one of the last revealed to Muhammad:

    “O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him).” (Koran 9:123)

    I think they firmly believed and they showed the harshness necessary to keep their duty to Allah. Of the very few verses that were revealed after this one, not one of them could be said to abrogate this verse in any way. In fact, I would say that the few verses which do follow clearly point out the wickedness of those whose hearts are so diseased as to reject what has been commanded of them. Yes, rejection of Allah’s words is a sign of a diseased heart and Allah turns away the hearts of those who do not understand their duty under Islam. These bomb makers understood, did not reject what was required of them, obeyed to the fullest and then were shot by those with “diseased” hearts.

    This is how sick Islam is.

      Ah yes, the old ‘near enemy’ teaching … first attack the ‘MODERATE’ Muslims who oppose jihad before going after the ‘far enemies’ !

    The Koran study group was obviously studying the following verses:

    The Koran’s 164 Jihad Verses … K 2:178-179, 190-191, 193-194, 216-218, 244; 3:121-126, 140-143, 146, 152-158, 165-167,169, 172-173, 195; 4:71-72, 74-077, 84, 89-91, 94-95,100-104; 5:33, 35, 82; 8:1, 5, 7, 9-10, 12, 15-17, 39-48, 57-60, 65-75; 9:5, 12-14, 16, 19-20, 24-26, 29, 36, 38-39, 41, 44, 52, 73, 81, 83, 86, 88, 92, 111, 120, 122-123; 16:110; 22:39, 58, 78; 24:53, 55; 25:52; 29:6, 69; 33:15, 18, 20, 23, 25-27, 50; 42:39; 47:4, 20, 35; 48:15-24; 49:15; 59:2, 5-8, 14; 60:9; 61:4, 11, 13; 63:4; 64:14; 66:9; 73:20; 76:8.

    An well-educated Indonesian Muslima I occasionally ‘tweet’ to used to tell me I need to receive guidance from an imam in order to fully understand Qur’an.

    In a nation in which roughly 50% of women have been subjected to FGM, she also told me she’d never heard about that.

    She also referred to violent jihadists as ‘terrorists’.

    Odd, really, as she doesn’t live anywhere near de Nile.

      Yep–more Taqiyya.

      • PRCS says

        Nov 19, 2019 at 2:04 am

        She did set me straight on one aspect of Islamic law:

        Hijab is NOT a choice.

        But–I do wonder if she knows what Qur’an 33:59 and 24:31 say about it (i.e., that it’s an expression of Islamic supremacy).

    “authentic Islam and the proper reading of the Koran are opposed to every form of violence.”

    Always provide the link for this as you usually do.

    Just show how out of touch this Imam Pope Francis is.

      What–this doesn’t give you enough information to look it up yourself?

      The first part of this is from his letter to Christians in the Middle East from 2014:

      The second part is from the Evangelii Gaudium from 2013:

    …………………..

    Yes–these were devout Muslims–and knowledgeable ones.

    Most of the victims–probably all of them–were also Muslim. But since most of Indonesia is not under full Shari’ah law, this was reason enough to murder these police.

    “….The members of the group has turned the place into a Quran study premise and also a place to practice archery……”
    —————————————————————————————–

    Presumably that’s a mis-spelling of “practice anarchy” ?

    It’s a bit tricky to practice “archery” inside a hut, after all……

    (And if K.WAGNER wishes to ponder on islam while wearing “Agent Provocateur” – well, I’m sure we’re all broad-minded adults here…..)
