Around one in 10 Indonesian Muslims support jihad and justify bomb attacks on Indonesia's tourist island of Bali as defending the faith, a survey released today showed. The poll surveyed a random sample of 1092 Muslim men and women.These would be the SAME PEOPLE who asked the USA for help in combatting their forest fires yesterday.... and who the US helped after the Tsunami... and who Australia gave A$1 billion of taxpayer's money in charity after said Tsunami... The hands that bomb are the first to ask for handouts, after all.
Indonesia is the world's fourth most populous country,
where's the one-child policy when you need it?
with 220 million people, 85 percent of whom follow Islam, giving the Asian archipelago the largest Muslim population of any nation in the world.
"Jihad that has been understood partially and practised with violence is justified by around one in 10 Indonesian Muslims," the Indonesian Survey Institute said in a statement.
Ahhh the religion of peace. And just a short boatride away from Darwin, Australia. Can we have a big US base, please?
"They approved the bombings conducted ... in Bali with the excuse of defending Islam," it added, saying the percentage of such support "is very significant".
Why did we give them $1 billion after the tsunami? Why? Why wasn't I asked? I pay taxes. I want my billion back.
While the vast majority of Indonesia's Muslims are relatively moderate,
oh obviously, you don't need to prove that or anything...
there has been an increasingly vocal militant minority and political pressure for more laws that are in line with hardline Muslim teachings. Bombings in Bali in October 2002 blamed on the militant Southeast Asian Jemaah Islamiah network killed 202 people, mostly foreign tourists. Suicide blasts in Bali a year ago killed 20.
Also it might be added, the Javanese muslims are the worst offenders. The Balinese are Hindus and thus immoral kaffir targets. I feel very sorry for the Balinese Hindus living under the thumb of the Javanese Muslims.
The survey found one in five Indonesian Muslims more generally supported the aims of Jemaah Islamiah – an armed movement backing the creation of an Islamic superstate
It's the CALIPHATE here comes the caliphate's Southeast Asian leg
linking Muslim Indonesia and Malaysia,
where ex-prime minister Dr Mahatir openly blames 9/11 on the evil Joos and Americans and says the towers were blown up by tnt
and Muslim areas in the Philippines and Thailand. In the past, it has co-operated closely with al Qaeda's global anti-Western campaign
no, that should read Islamist campaign. Nothing Western about Somalia ... they've taken over Somallia. Nothing Western about Russia or Thailand... they're active there too... ,
but in recent years many in Jemaah Islamiah have focused more on the regional struggle. Indonesia has had a major attack against high profile Western-linked targets each year from 2002 through 2005. Authorities tied all the attacks to elements of Jemaah Islamiah.
Indonesia... aggressive, intolerant and spreading the wonderful words of Allah to a beach near you
