Watch the video report here from Japan’s NHK news service. In it, a jihadi says that Muslims from Indonesia are leaving for the Islamic State every day, “too many to count.” Even if this is wild exaggeration, which it is unlikely to be, why are any Muslims from Indonesia going to the Islamic State at […]
Indonesia: Muslim mobs attack churches, one dead, four wounded
Shhh! Do not speak of this! Remember: “Talk about extreme, militant Islamists and the atrocities that they have perpetrated globally might undercut the positive achievements that we Catholics have attained in our inter-religious dialogue with devout Muslims and possibly generate suspicion and even fear of people who practice piously the religion of Islam.” — Bishop […]
Relax: Australia and Indonesia to work together to rehabilitate jihadis
How they propose to do this is unclear. Probably they think they will rehabilitate these jihadis by showing them that the tragically misunderstood Qur’an is actually a Book of Peace. Perhaps they will be able to get John Kerry or Pope Francis or David Cameron or some other world-class authority on Islamic teaching to go […]
Indonesian jihad terror convict: jihadis are misunderstanding Qur’an and Hadith
Laskar Jihad was burning down churches. “The hadiths clearly say that Prophet Muhammad condemned such actions and it made me think that what I was doing was wrong,” said Jumu Tuani. “It has been narrated by ‘Umar b. al-Khattib that he heard the Messenger of Allah say: I will expel the Jews and Christians from […]
Australia: Muslim linked to efforts to send money and men to the Islamic State
The man is identified only as “white” in this story, but as with all such stories, race is completely irrelevant. If his Indonesian wife is a devout Muslim, then he had to convert to Islam to marry her. That’s the salient point, because he wouldn’t have gotten involved in sending money and men to the […]
Indonesia: Police open fire on church, kill 15-year-old boy
When the police are corrupt and compromised, what recourse do good citizens have? And in Muslim countries the police can often be made up of Islamic supremacists who sympathize with mobs who victimize Christians, or who believe that Christians should abide by Sharia restrictions not to build new churches or repair old ones. And this […]
“Tens of thousands” of Muslims in Southeast Asia support the Islamic State
What accounts for this extensive outbreak of misunderstanding of Islam? The significant support that the Islamic State enjoys in Southeast Asia demonstrates the falsity and fatuity of the mainstream Western narrative regarding Islam and jihad. “The terrifying rise of ISIS in East: Terror horde recruits tens of thousands to its sick cause in south-east Asia,” […]
Ramadan in Indonesia: Islamic jihadists plant bomb in mall toilet
Ramadan calls for ever new and ingenious ways to kill. It is a time when Muslims are supposed to renew their commitment to Allah, and since jihad is an expression of that commitment, there is more of it during Ramadan. “Police Link Mall Toilet Blast to Islamist Terrorists,” by Bayu Marhaenjati, Jakarta Globe, July 11, […]
Indonesia: Jihadis recruit for Islamic State from their prison cells
Clearly these recruiters have supporters among the jailers: “Despite the island’s jails being high-security and despite mobile phones being contraband those who want phones have and use them.” “Indonesian jails host extremists who recruit for Islamic State from their cells,” by Cindy Wockner and Komang Erviani, News Corp Australia Network, July 7, 2015 (thanks to […]
UK convert to Islam linked to France beheading and jihad attack in Indonesia
The ongoing indifference on the part of authorities to the phenomenon of conversion to Islam and subsequent “radicalization” is absolutely inexplicable. Salvi said: ‘The British authorities know where I am and have no problem with it.” Of course. The British authorities are not concerned about jihad hate preachers. They’re only concerned with silencing domestic foes […]
