Islamic leaders condemn the Bali bombers because thos convected had declare dying as martyrs.
MUI head Umar Shihab said, people who kill cannot be said to be martyrs unless it is a war while speaking to detik.com
And yet they issue a hit list threatening SBY, JK and parties involved in executing the three bombers. This is seen at http://www.foznawarabilkakbah.com
They were calling out to kill people like Andi Mattalatta, Hendarman Supardji, AH Ritonga, Hasyim Muzadi all the judges and prosecutors, all hindus, christians and kafir America.
Why can’t the Indonesian government take action on these threats.
Do you think people will come in or to invest in Indonesia?
How nice if the Indonesian government could treat this as though of that with PKI, I think it will change the image of Indonesia for the better.
That is so true dragonwall. Indonesia in the past has shown what they can do to any so called ‘internal’ threats yet has been quite timid in response to the islamic extremists. Until they show the world they mean business the same way they did back in 1965, 1975, 1991 etc we will continue to think they may be colluding with extremist groups themselves. And we all know there are islamic elements within the military itself who want Indonesia to be ruled by sharia. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. And they can sit back and watch China, India, Thailand etc shoot ahead of them in the economic stakes.
