His parents’ involvement is unusual but not surprising. After all, if paradise is guaranteed to those who “kill and are killed” (Qur’an 9:111) for Allah, then such killing is a holy act. Why shouldn’t the whole family be involved?
An update on this story. “Authorities in Indonesia Foil Plan to Bomb Churches,” Morning Star News, August 5, 2024:
SURABAYA, Indonesia (Morning Star News) – Authorities in Indonesia last week arrested a 19-year-old member of an Islamic extremist group and his parents, foiling a plan to suicide bomb two church sites, officials said.
The high school student identified only by his initials, H.O.K, was arrested on Wednesday (July 31) at about 7:15 p.m. as he was on his way dispose of evidence in Jalan Langsep, Sisir village, Batu City, in Malang Regency, East Java, said Anti-Terror Special Detachment 88 Spokesperson Aswin Siregar at a press conference in Jakarta on Sunday (Aug. 4).
The Special Detachment 88 squad and Batu police were involved in the arrest.
“H.O.K. is a supporter of ISIS or Dawlah Islamiyah,” Aswin told reporters on Thursday (Aug. 1) in Jakarta.
Aswin said H.O.K had become a member online of Philippines-based Dawlah Islamiyah, said to be affiliated with the Islamic State (ISIS), and that he and accomplices were planning to carry out suicide bombings using Triaceton Triperoxide (TATP) explosives at two Christian churches in Malang Regency, East Java.
TATP, widely known as the “Mother of Satan,” is one of the most powerful and dangerous explosives. Preliminary investigations indicated that H.O.K. often accessed various websites containing Dawlah Islamiyah propaganda that led him to try to carry out suicide bombings, Aswin said.
“He accessed various sites containing recommendations or propaganda from Dawlah Islamiyah,” Aswin reportedly said. “Then he also got information from social media, so that he felt like carrying out the suicide bombing.”
The suspect bought explosives and other necessary tools for the attack with savings from school allowances, according to TribunJakarta.com.
H.O.K.’s parents were also arrested on Wednesday (July 31), and police detained several other people for questioning.
“Densus 88 is still investigating the possibility of his links to other ISIS support networks,” Aswin said. “Indeed, there were several people who were questioned, including his parents or family.”…

It is great that they caught him and his accomplices before the bombings could take place. It is also good that they are looking further for others who may have been involved.
There are likely thousands more just like him and his parents who wish to murder the Christians living there.

I have a question to the leaders of the western countries
How become with all the savage crimes are making by Muslims in every place around the world and you still accepting them as legal or illegal migrants?
Is hard to understand the dangerous to have Muslims in your countries?
Is hard to understand the Muslims in your country are using the democracy, human rights and freedom to make their crimes against the citizens?
Is hard to understand after tens of years that there is no comment between the culture of the western countries and the Muslims culture?
Is hard to understand that the Majority of Muslims you are accepting as migrants are members in a different Muslims terrorists’ organization?
Is hard to understand that the Muslims in the western countries their target is to Islamize your western countries?
Is hard to understand that the Majority of the Muslims in the middle east quit Islam after they found its again humanity?
Is hard to understand why after USA withdrew from Afghanistan and been replaced by Taliban who is practicing the sharia law. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims get scare from the sharia law and escaped from Afghanistan?
Is hard to understand when you are supporting the sharia law who it cannot be accepted by the animal rescue?
Final question to the leader of the western countries:
When you will be ready to understand that every Muslim you are accepting as a legal or illegal migrants is a timing bomb, and you will be the first who are going to be hurt by Muslims?

When muslim kids are busted for plotting jihad attacks, what surprises me is not if their parents are also involved, but if parents don’t know what their kids were up to. I find that harder to digest

Not much news considering it was muslims bombing Churches, but if it was Mosques being bombed it would be front page and 24/7 news.
