Prosecutors want a year in jug for Thalib...
Prosecutors demanded Thursday the East Jakarta District Court to sentence now-defunct Laskar Jihad commander to one year in jail for inciting hatred.Notice there's no sentence for having people killed? Defendant Jafar Umar Thalib was accused of inciting hatred against the government in a speech he delivered early this year in Maluku islands, some 2,300 km east of Jakarta, which has been riven by Mulsim-Christian violence. The former commander of Laskar Jihad militia has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing. It sent thousands of fighters to Maluku in 2000 to join the Muslim-Christian conflict in the region. "Ain't nothin' wrong with killin' infidels, is there?" After the oct 12 Bali bombing, the group disbanded itself. "Oh, cheese! Ditch the guns! It just hit the fan!"
