"These schools have one aim: to send their graduates back to Christian-majority Papua to spread their muscular form of Islam."

Islamic supremacism in modern, moderate Indonesia: "They're taking our children," by Michael Bachelard for The Age, May 4 (thanks to Stephen):

n a province where the schools are poor and the families poorer still, no-cost schooling can be an irresistible offer.

But for some of these children, who may be as young as five, it's only when they arrive that they find out they have been recruited by "pesantren", Islamic boarding schools, where time to study maths, science or language is dwarfed by the hours spent in the mosque. There, in the words of one pesantren leader, "They learn to honour God, which is the main thing." These schools have one aim: to send their graduates back to Christian-majority Papua to spread their muscular form of Islam.

After the Benghazi terror attack and this administrations response during and after, maybe they thought it would be a piece of cake to hit

Seriously, I'm glad these mujahidiots were stopped from carrying out their plans.

JAKARTA, Indonesia – Indonesia's anti-terror squad arrested 11 people suspected of planning a range of attacks on domestic and foreign targets including the U.S. Embassy and a site near the Australian Embassy, police said Saturday.

The suspects were arrested in raids Friday and Saturday in four provinces, national police spokesman Maj. Gen. Suhardi Alius said.

He said the suspects belonged to a new group called the Harakah Sunni for Indonesian Society, or HASMI[...]

Alius said the group planned to target the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta and a plaza near the Australian Embassy and the local office of U.S. mining giant Freeport-McMoRan. It also planned to attack the U.S. Consulate in Surabaya and the headquarters of a special police force in Central Java, he said.

Alius said police are still investigating whether the group has ties with established terrorist organizations such as Jemaah Islamiyah. An investigator who spoke in condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to provide information to the media said HASMI's apparent leader, Abu Hanifah, was a Jemaah Islamiyah sympathizer.

A Malaysian website that was hacked and plundered by Indonesian terrorists to finance their activities has been shut down, an investigator from the police’s antiterror unit said on Thursday[...]

All of them[Agus Suprianto,Rizki Gunawan, Andri Kurniawan &Dedy Irawan..ed] have been named suspects in terror cases, including the Sept. 2011 suicide bombing of the Kepunton Church in Solo, Central Java.

Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Boy Rafli Amar said the suspected hackers used the money they stole to fund terrorism.

The Rp 225 million ($24,300) they siphoned off was used to buy firearms and pay for paramilitary training in Poso, Central Sulawesi, and Malino, South Sulawesi, as well as for the Solo bombing.

If you're a Christian in Indonesia and defend yourself or defy a mob of Islamists chances are the police are going to side with the Islamists.

An embattled Indonesian church at the center of a long-running dispute with Indonesian authorities that has attracted headlines around the world, confirmed on Monday that one of its members has been named a suspect by police for alleged assault.

Bona Sigalingging, spokesman for the GKI Yasmin church in Bogor near Jakarta, told the Jakarta Globe that West Java Police had named Jayadi Damanik a suspect.

The charges relate to an incident in October last year when Bambang Budiyanto, the chief of the Bogor administration’s Public Order Agency (Satpol PP), was allegedly knocked unconscious during a confrontation with worshippers.

Well no, not according to the local Muslim authorities..

Bona said that the church had reported Bambang to police for using violence to obstruct a religious ceremony and Bogor Mayor Diani Budiarto for obstructing a religious service.

“Out of all of our reports to the police, West Java Police only followed up on one case,” Bona said, referring to the charges laid against Jayadi.

The GKI Yasmin church has been illegally sealed off by the Bogor city administration on the pretext that congregation leaders doctored a petition needed to obtain a building permit.

The church has been offered a new location and compensation, but so far it has refused to move.

Since 2008, the congregation has been forced to hold Sunday services on the sidewalk outside the church or in the homes of parishioners, in the face of continued protests and intimidation by Islamic hard-line groups.

Bogor Mayor Diani Budiarto has come under criticism for ignoring a 2010 Supreme Court order to lift a ban he placed on the church in 2008. He has insisted there were indications that the congregation falsified local residents’ signatures of support for the construction of the church.

Bona said the dispute is no longer a local matter, given the mayor’s defiance of the rule of law.

“In fact, [Diani] has let radical intolerant groups intimidate the congregation repeatedly, with increasing intensity,” Bona said.

Hat Tip: 1389.

It appears that Anwar Ibrahim, much like O.J. Simpson is totally 100% not guilty.

In an unexpected conclusion to a controversial two-year trial, a Malaysian court Monday acquitted opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim on sodomy charges, ruling that the DNA evidence submitted by the prosecution was unreliable.

Sodomy, even between consenting adults, is illegal in Muslim-majority Malaysia although few people are prosecuted. Anwar, who faced up to 20 years in prison for allegedly having sex with a former aide, has repeatedly maintained his innocence, terming the charges politically motivated.

Indonesian publisher introduces a new comic book hero - an ex-terrorist:

The real life adventures of former al-Qaeda-linked terrorist Nasir Abas have become a new comic book in Indonesia depicting him as a militant villain who transforms into an invaluable ally in the fight against terrorism.

The story of the soft-spoken 42-year-old is well-known in Indonesia. He went from helping train Muslim militants who carried out the deadly Bali bombings in 2002 to informing police about the inner-workings of the Jemaah Islamiyah terror network.

He's also joined a government program to convince convicted terrorists that killing unarmed civilians is wrong.

Abas says he hopes the colorful comic by a nonprofit publisher, titled "I Found the Meaning of Jihad," will help teach children not to make the same mistakes he did.

On Feb 6th, while the police looked or ran away, Indonesian Islamists savagely murdered three and seriously injured five other Muslims of the Ahmadiya Islamic sect. Ahmadiya are considered non-Muslims for their beliefs. The same ole wrong kind of Muslim excuse for murder and mayhem. Kinda like killing kaffirs because they don't worship the pedophile Mohammed.

The savagery was caught on video tape[extreme caution]. The man who filmed it has been in hiding. Worse yet, the government blamed the victims for provoking the attack.

12 Islamist were convicted and will be out in six months.

The outrage over the light sentence has upset some Islamic Scholars

Indonesian Islamic scholars had mixed reactions to criticism launched by Western nations of the apparent light sentences handed down to Islamist extremists who killed members of the Ahmadiyah sect in Cikeusik, Banten.

The district court in Serang, Banten’s capital on Thursday handed down jail sentences of between three and six months for all 12 defendants[...]

Three Ahmadis died in the videotaped attack while five others were seriously injured. The attack allegedly involved some 1,500 Islamist militants and about 20 Ahmadiyah members[Emphasis mine..ed]

But Slamet Effendy Yusuf, of the Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI), criticized Western nations for only seeing the verdict from their own perspectives.

“Western countries must respect another country’s judiciary system based on its own cultural and philosophical background,” Slamet said.

He pointed out that Anders Behring Breivik, the man charged with killing 76 people in terror attacks on July 22, would face harsher penalties in Indonesia[Emphasis mine]

The following comment on the article sums it up:

Same old songs of muslims defending their fellow muslims and rejected whatever the western has to say. Oh yes this country's law seek 2 years for someone fail to provide indonesian language of ipad manual but 6 month minus detention period for murder. Yeah, western should not criticize us! Here (or at least for certain people) murder is a much less crime compared to electronic smuggling, corruption, and making porn. So stfu western! Murder ftw!

Three to six fecking months, gawd.

Xariif, can you defend this?

That is a huge no-no. Storing weapons for future slaughter of civilians? Yes. But no playing the trombone under the dome.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — A man reportedly trying to show students how to make explosives was killed by a homemade bomb inside an Islamic boarding school in Indonesia, police said Tuesday.

School officials and students have prevented police from entering the building since Monday's explosion, local police spokesman Lt. Col. Sukarman Husen said.

But they discovered the body of the suspected bomb maker, a 30-year-old man identified only as Firdaus, on a bus Tuesday as it tried to leave the school compound, he said.

Eleven people have been taken in for questioning, Husen said, adding that police also confiscated a number of arrows and machetes.

Husen said the bombing victim was a treasurer at the school, but media reports alleged he was a former bomb trainee in the Philippine region of Mindanao.

Indonesia, a moderate Muslim country, where they give you 15 years for mass murder:

An Indonesian court on Thursday jailed radical Islamist cleric Abu Bakar Bashir for 15 years for funding a terrorist group that was planning attacks against Westerners and political leaders.

For his part Bashir denies the very existence of the al Qaeda affiliated Jemaah Islamiyah -- which he is the spiritual leader of -- claiming it, like 9/11, is just a CIA plot to make Muslims look bad. Which reminds me of that scene in The Godfather (II?) where Michael Corleone denies the existence of la cosa nostra to the House Committee on Organized Crime. It's all just a plot to make Italians look bad.

Of course, this same Bashir also openly calls for an infidel free Indonesia. So, that doesn't make Muslims look bad at all.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) —Terror suspects arrested Thursday led police to a 150-kilogram (330-pound) bomb buried beneath a gas pipeline near a church just outside Indonesia’s capital, officials said.

Senior security minister Djoko Suyanto said he believed Islamic militants had been plotting an attack ahead of Easter celebrations, and the U.S. embassy urged Americans to be vigilant.

“The army and police are under high alert,” he told reporters, adding that troops would be deployed at churches and other strategic locations. “We want to guarantee safety.”

I'd say this makes no sense, but does anything coming out of the ummah rally make that much sense? Apparently the worshipers at the mosque weren't the right kind of Muslims:

A suicide bomber blew himself up today at Taka mosque located in the police headquarters in Ciberon (West Java) a town about 300 km from Jakarta. The toll is about 28 wounded, including several policemen. The suicide bombing is the first in the country's history and took place shortly before the usual Friday prayers, while the faithful were gathering inside the building. According to authorities the attack was organized by a group of Islamic terrorists in revenge for the recent anti-terrorism operations carried out by the police.

An update on this post: Top Indonesian Terrorist Umar Patek Captured in Pakistan.

Via The Australian:

Umar Patek, 40, the deputy commander of al-Qa'ida's Southeast Asian affiliate Jemaah Islamiah, is believed to have been arrested in Pakistan last month by local intelligence agents acting on a CIA tip-off.

Indonesian police chief Lieutenant General Ito Sumardi said he believed Patek, the subject of a $US1 million bounty offered by the American government, travelled on a commercial flight to Pakistan via Bangkok on a passport using a false name.

General Sumardi said information indicated he was arrested with other al-Qa'ida suspects and was not the target of the raid.[Emphasis mine..ed]

But questions remain over what Patek was doing in Pakistan, which continues to attract foreign militants seeking contact with al-Qa'ida leaders based there, particularly in lawless tribal areas near the Afghan border.

Pakistani intelligence agents on Wednesday confirmed he had been arrested and was being held for questioning. "The CIA tipped us off that he might be travelling here," one official said,....

Earlier this month the spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, Abu Bakar Bashir, went on trial in Indonesia. He is accused of helping to set up an al-Qaeda linked training camps in Indonesia.

Hmmm

MSNBC

JAKARTA, Indonesia — A top Indonesian terror suspect wanted in the deadly 2002 Bali bombings has been arrested in Pakistan, intelligence sources said Tuesday.

Umar Patek, a suspected member of the al-Qaida linked militant group Jemaah Islamiyah, is believed to have served as the group's deputy field commander in the nightclub bombings that left 202 people dead, many of them foreigners.

The U.S., which lost seven citizens in the attack, was offering a $1 million reward for his arrest.

Two intelligence officials — one in Indonesia and the other in the Philippines — said Tuesday that Patek was taken into custody in Pakistan earlier this year. They both spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the information.

The question of what to do with Patek could be an indicator of how U.S. President Barack Obama wants to handle major terrorist suspects captured abroad.

March 14, 2011

The spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah went on trial today. Abu Bakar Bashir could get the death penalty if he's convicted of helping set up an al Qaeda linked training camp in Indonesia.

Before the trial started today Bashir condemned the proceedings with the quote in the headlines. But his other antics today speak volumes as to Bashir's intentions to turn the trial into a platform where he can reinforce his narrative that he and other terrorists like him are really just the victims of a global anti-Muslim conspiracy. He walked out on his own trial:

Abu Bakar Bashir and his supporters left the courtroom on Monday to protest witness testimony via teleconference.

Hot Chicom sexuality distracts Yemeni mens' team during match against Indonesia.

Bikini-clad cheerleaders have been blamed by the Yemen beach volleyball team for their defeat during the Asian Games.

Yemen beach volleyballer Adeeb Mahfoudh has now accused the squads of being distracting, and partly to blame for their defeat to Indonesia.
"They had an effect on how we played," he said. "I think they had something to do with our losing the match.

These girls are very beautiful. With them here, more people will pay attention to beach volleyball," Mr Mahfoudh added.
"If I can, I hope to watch them perform at the next match.

For research purposes I googled Hot Yemeni....

Er, I think that demonstrates for sure why they Yemeni men are so distracted. So to assist in their training I've added some distracting images at the Moisture Farm to help desensitize them. But you Yemeni girls need to pick it up if there is any hope of improvement.

Protesters from the radical group Hizbut Tahrir shouted 'Obama Comes, We Crush' and 'Reject Obama' outside the state palace and the US embassy.

They brandished posters bearing his picture and banners with slogans such as 'Do not add to Indonesia's grief'.

'President Barack Obama until today has continued to colonise Muslim countries like Iraq and Afghanistan and kill our brothers there.

As such, we will not accept him as a guest,' Hizbut Tahrir spokesman Mohammed Ismail Yusanto told AFP.

(Jakarta, Indonesia) On Wednesday of this week, the Indonesian Police Densus 88 Anti-Terror Unit captured the country's most-wanted terrorist, Abdullah Sunata aka Sonata, in Central Java.

The arrest reportedly foiled two planned terror attacks, one at the Police Anniversary Day ceremonies on July 1st and one at the Royal Danish Embassy to retaliate for Muhammad cartoons.

Sonata, a close associate of slain terrorist mastermind Noordin M Top, was sentenced to seven years in jail in 2006 for hiding Noordin and for possessing illegal firearms. He was released in April 2009 on good behavior.

Sonata and another suspect arrested on Wednesday, Sogir, have been linked to a terrorist network based at a training camp in Aceh, which police have been targeting since February.

The Aceh network was comprised of militants from several groups with links to the Middle East and the southern Philippines. The camp was being used to prepare for Mumbai-style assaults on Indonesian targets, police said.

The pair was arrested in raids in and around Klaten, Central Java, by Densus 88. A third suspect, Yuli Harsono, was killed by officers during the operation.

BANDA ACEH, Indonesia – Indonesian police raided a home used by suspected terrorists Monday in the far western province of Aceh, fatally shooting a man allegedly involved in the beheadings of three Christian girls.

Two other suspects were arrested at the house in Cot Irie village on the outskirts of Banda Aceh, said Col. Esa Permadi, chief detective of Aceh police. Interrogations of the men led to another raid in which two more suspects were detained, he said.

The men are allegedly members of al-Qaida in Aceh, a splinter of Jemaah Islamiyah, the Southeast Asian offshoot of al-Qaida blamed for deadly bombings in Indonesia in recent years.

(Jakarta, Indonesia) Outside the Indonesian Parliament yesterday, angry students threw shoes at an image of President Obama. The students were reportedly protesting Obama's "war on Muslims."

Dozens of activists grouped under the Campus Islamic Proselytization Institute Coordinating Board rallied outside the Serang regency legislative council building on Friday to oppose Obama's visit (scheduled for March 20-22).

"We reject Obama's planned visit to Indonesia, which will bring no advantages to predominantly Muslim Indonesia," group coordinator Ahmad Kardi said as quoted by Antara.

Ahmad warned the nation against offers of cooperation from Obama, which he said would eventually benefit the US at Indonesia's expense.

"Warned the nation" about cooperating with Obama, eh?

Woo-hoo!

(Jakarta, Indonesia) The mastermind of the Bali bombings and other terror attacks in Indonesia, Noordin M. Top, is reportedly dead, killed during a raid last night in Solo, Central Java.

According to Indonesian National Police Chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri, Noordin's identity was confirmed through fingerprints.

Police stormed a house on the outskirts of the city at around 7:00 a.m. after a nine-hour siege. Solo is a longtime stronghold of the Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) radical network.

Three other terror suspects were killed and three arrested in the raid. Also among the dead is Bagus Budi Pranoto or Urwah, a man wanted by police in connection with the July hotel bombings in Jakarta.

The other two killed in the raid were Hadi Susilo and Aryo Sudarsono, alias Aji. [...]

"We warned them to surrender but they didn't obey," said Bambang. "Since we knew there were dangerous people inside, we had to take strong action."

UPDATE by Rusty: This would be, what? The third time he's been reportedly killed? Knock on wood, people. Knock. On. Wood.

UPDATE by Newbie: The raid that lead to the death of Top wiped out most Al Qeada's Southeast Asia senior leadership. Bill Roggio has more details..

During the raid, police acquired two laptops and documents, which they said confirm that all four terrorists who were killed during the raid comprised the leadership of al Qaeda in Southeast Asia. Police chief Bambang Hendarso Danuri suggested in a press conference today that the documents picked up in Solo show that they wiped out most of al Qaeda in Southeast Asia's senior leadership in this raid.

Wanted terrorists Bagus Budi Pranoto, Ario Sudarso, and Hadi Susilo were killed with Top, Metro TV reported.

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, Kill the bitch!

Hey Prince of Jihad, watch out for the cornhole buddy:

The owner of a radical Islamist website who calls himself the "Prince of Jihad" in his blog postings has been arrested in connection with the Jakarta hotel bombings, police and a lawyer said Wednesday.

Counter-terror squad officers arrested Muhamad Jibril Abdurahman, alias Muhamad Ricky Ardan bin Mohammad Iqbal, near Jakarta late Tuesday and also raided the office of his website, Arrahmah.com, a police spokesman said.

Police believe the Pakistan-educated suspect helped channel funds from abroad to finance the July 17 twin suicide bombings on the JW Marriott and Ritz-Carlton hotels that killed nine people, including six foreigners....

"Jihad and terrorism are not something to be afraid of or avoided, because to cause terror to Allah's enemies is the instruction of Islam," said an article by the "Prince of Jihad" which appeared on both websites after the July 17 attacks.

INDONESIAN authorities are expected to reveal this morning that the man gunned down in a counter-terrorism raid over the weekend was Ibrahim, a florist who worked at the Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott hotels.

Ibrahim was a key player in the terrorist cell that orchestrated twin suicide bombings at the hotels, providing inside information and helping smuggle in the explosives that killed seven bystanders, including three Australians.

The 17-hour siege in Temanggung, Central Java, on Friday and Saturday was originally believed to have led to the slaying of Noordin Mohammed Top, the fugitive terrorist mastermind who has been on the run for more than six years.

Those hopes were dashed once the body was hauled from an isolated farmhouse and family members of the Malaysian-born terrorist were shown photographs of the body and said it wasn't him.

BEJI, Indonesia (AP) - Southeast Asia's most wanted terror suspect was reportedly killed during a 16-hour siege on a suspected militant hide-out that ended Saturday when police stormed the house.
Local TV stations reported militant chief Noordin Mohammad Top, who is blamed for last month's attacks on two American hotels in the capital, Jakarta, was killed in the bathroom of the house in a rice-growing village in central Java province following a lengthy bomb and gun battle.

Those reports were not confirmed by police. DNA tests will likely have to be performed to ensure the identification.

... good news is breaking out every where.

UPDATE: Nick Grace at the Long War Journal has thedetails of the raid that resulted in Top taking his own life and killing three children and a woman in the process.

Noordin Mohammed Top, Asia's most wanted terrorist, committed suicide after a 12-hour standoff with Indonesian police in a remote farm house in Central Java.

Police made visual confirmation of Top through cameras attached to remote control robots that were deployed into the house and watched as he fled into a bathroom and, surrounded by a woman and three children, blew himself up, Metro TV reported. The explosion occurred at 8 am Saturday local-time (9 pm EDT Friday) and was carried on live television.

JAKARTA: Indonesian police are investigating a message posted on two radical Muslim websites, supposedly by wanted terrorist leader Noordin Top, who said his group was behind the recent suicide bombings at two Jakarta hotels...

It was signed off by Noordin Top, with the title of 'emir of Tandzim Al Qaeda Indonesia', a breakaway faction of the Jemaah Islamiah (JI) militant group.

The message said that a meeting hosted by American businessman James Castle at the Marriott was targeted specifically because its participants represented companies that exploited Indonesia's resources, the profits of which go towards helping 'infidel American soldiers' fight Muslims.

The Ritz-Carlton bombing, it added, was intended as a reminder to Indonesians not to idolise[sic] the Manchester United footballers, which it described as crusaders unfit for the respect of Muslims.

(Magetan, East Java, Indonesia) A C-130 military transport plane carrying troops and families crashed into residences and burst into flames yesterday on approach to an air force base.

The plane was carrying at least 109 passengers and crew when it went down in Geplak, a village 520 kilometers east of Jakarta, including troops and their families. At least 10 children were among them.

At least 98 people were killed, including two on the ground, and 15 others survived, said Bambang Samudro, chief of the military air base in Magetan. Many of the injured suffered severe burns.

The country’s air force, long underfunded and handicapped by a recently lifted US ban on weapons sales, has suffered a series of accidents, including a Fokker 27 plane that crashed into an airport hangar last month, killing all 24 onboard.

(Jakarta, Indonesia) Strangely, it appears that Muslims in Indonesia haven't received the hopey-changey memo. Earlier today, about 100 Muslims protested SecState Hillary Clinton's visit later this week.

Black-and-white-clad members of the radical Hizbut Tahrir movement, or HTI, chanted "Allahu Akbar," meaning "God is greater," in front of the U.S. Embassy in the capital city of Jakarta and called on Muslims to reject the visit of the newly-appointed top U.S. diplomat.

HTI spokesman Farid Wajdji told reporters the new administration of U.S. President Barack Obama continues to oppress Muslims worldwide, despite pledges of greater "mutual respect" between the United States and the Muslim world.

"Indonesia and its Muslim leaders shouldn't be enticed by Hillary Clinton's arrival. Her flattery of Indonesia as a moderate Muslim nation is part of the superpower's divide-and-rule politics," Wajdji said.

By the way, if there is some sort of divide and rule policy in place regarding Indonesia, I confess total ignorance.
