“Allah has bought from the believers their selves and their possessions against the gift of Paradise; they fight in the way of Allah; they kill, and are killed; that is a promise binding upon Allah in the Torah, and the Gospel, and the Koran; and who fulfils his covenant truer than Allah? So rejoice in the bargain you have made with Him; that is the mighty triumph.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Policeman killed in Indonesia suicide bombing attack,” DW, December 7, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A suicide bomber attacked a police station in Indonesia’s island of Java on Wednesday, killing one police officer and wounding at least 10 others.
The perpetrator is believed to have been an Islamist militant. Indonesian police told media a note which read “criminal code is the law of infidels, let’s fight the satanic law Enforcers” was recovered from the scene of the blast in Bandung, Indonesia.
Indonesia ratified on Tuesday a new criminal code which punishes sex and co-habitation outside marriage with jail terms, and also outlaws “defamation” of the president and state institutions and expands the definition of blasphemy.
Though the new code, which still await the president’s ratification, includes many rules from the Islamic sharia-law, its 624 articles also contain tougher measures against extremism, and the document reflects Indonesia’s official status as a multi-faith country with six officially recognized religions.
Who is the perpetrator?
The attacker was identified as Agus Sujatno or Abu Muslim. He was only released from prison last year after serving a 4-year sentence for being convicted of funding terrorism and making explosives used in a 2017 terrorist attack.He is believed to be a member of the militant organization Jemaah Anshorut Daulah, or JAD. The group has claimed several deadly suicide bombings in the country and has pledged allegiance to the Islamic State militant group.
After his release from prison, Sujatno reportedly rejected the government’s deradicalization program, which landed him on the police’s “red” list of militant convicts.
Why was he against the new criminal code?
Indonesian police chief Listyo Sigit Prabowo told a news conference that investigators had found “dozens of papers protesting the newly ratified criminal code” at the crime scene.Todd Elliot, a senior security analyst at Concord Consulting in Jakarta, told the Reuters news agency that the new code doesn’t only contain sharia-based provisions, but also other articles that hardliners would not support….

That jihadist ,of Indonesia ,who engaged in that jihad suicide/homicide bombing had spiritual blindness because of deception of false religion which is Islam.
Of the many false doctrines of Islam one one them is the dangerous doctrine of a paradise with many virgins, houris, in it ,for the use only the Muslim male who dies in an jihad attack for the cause of Islam.
That jihadist/Muslim ,as well as others who are just as much under the spell ofthe deception of Islam and after their beguilement they become literally as it’s term “dangerous to self and others.”
A “peaceful ,non-violent religion “, indeed. That bogus claim spoken by the many apologists for Islam is 100% balderdash
In fact , many a times a jihadist had made a video in which he speaks of the many virgins that he will have a wedding with after he dies as a “martyr” in his jihad bombing In reality he’s only exposing who completely deluded that he actually is by the false and empty promises of Islam,
For Muslims do accept Jesus and a prophet , yet nothing more. Still the point is that Jesus taught ” “You are mistaken not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God.For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage , but are as the angels in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30. [N.K.J.V.]
So ,according to Jesus such marriages those deluded jihadist talk about are not possible.
In addition, the Bible does warn about being taken in by religious stories , no matter how very inciting those religious stores might be, For in the Bible is warns against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4.
Furthermore coming of false teachers ,as those imams and mullahs, who thoroughly indoctrinate such a dogma as of a sex -filled paradise into the hearts and minds of others had been predicted in the Bible,
Which informs its reader “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine , but according their 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 4:3,4.
In great contrast to the jihadist with his his daydream of that Islam fable /story doctrine of a paradise with many virgins , the Christian has the reality of the Lord of all . Who is the Jesus of the Bible. Which reads in Second Peter 1:16. “For we did not follow cunningly devise fables when we made known to you the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitness of His majesty.”

Great post – the truth is that it is an insult to God to suggest that sex is the best He could do when designing a heaven for His people. That isn’t to say that it isn’t a good gift when enjoyed on Earth within Biblical boundaries, but 1 Cor 2:9 says “But, as it is written, “No eye has seen, · no ear has heard, · nor has the mind of man imagined, the things that God has prepared · for those who love him.”

Just to think about it, those Muslim clerics , be they the imams or mullah , who brainwashed that Muslim of Indonesia to become a jihadist suicide /homicide bomber with their lying words and false promises ,that they without doubt , kept on repeating to him . Such lines of lying words and false promise as “We will honor you”. and the big lie “If you become a martyr for Islam you will go to paradise with many dark-eye houris in it just for your use only.”
The Bible ,truly, has explained such beguilement . For in Proverbs 12:5. reads “The counsels the wicked are deceitful.” [N.K.J.V.]

I am wondering if this doctrine of the houris might not contribute to Islamic misogyny – for, if all those females in Heaven are so expendable that they can simply be “granted” to a man for his “use”, what does that say about women on earth? After all, Heaven is logically the place where God’s will is perfectly done – so if the Muslim male believes that something of this nature is what God’s will amounts to, why would he not also believe that the entire raison d’etre of earthly women is to give him a foretaste of that reward?

The Islamists in Indonesia aren’t going to like it when the new laws come in, but the infidel foreigners are not caught up in them (if you can believe the Indonesian government). According to the Indonesian government foreigners will be able to have sex with anyone they want outside marriage, while Indonesians will be jailed for it. I can see a lot of problems & resentment coming out of that.
Walter Sieruk says
That murderous jihadist of Indonesia did have a very harsh reality check after he died in that suicide/homicide bombing because he immediately found himself trapped with no escape ,suffering ,in the fires of hell. Matthew 16:19-28. For the Bible teaches that a murder “will not inherit the kingdom of God. Galatians 5:21. Revelations 21:8.
So, that jihadist to his shock and horror discovered the hard way that he lied to b the Muslim clerics and that Islam is a false religion.
