How come they let that bastard out???

[teddy]

The muslim cleric Abu Bakar Ba'asyir who was found guilty in March 2005 of conspiracy in connection with the Bali bombings has been freed after spending just two years in jail. Where is the justice

 

I'm sure the Australian government will be delighted with this news, not.

[bust]

The fucking Australian Government as we speak are playing host to a deligation from Indonesia trying to mend bridges over upsetting them for granting West Papuan refugees protection visas. My Government are a pack of scumbags.

[cavanami]

Waaaaaay past time for some black ops!

 

Take the azzholes out ::

[asiafun]

The Muslim government if afraid to raise the ire of the Muslim populace for unfairly imprisoning a "holy man"...translate no balls, no backbone :onfire:

 

Black Ops are indeed in order! maybe that is what the Indonesian government is really hoping for in this case as they dont want to be seen as the ones having bagged his ass.

[antbears]

Black ops are a great idea.

 

While your at it go after the Occupying army who bombed a farmers family sitting on a beach in the Gaza strip

Or better still bomb those who indefinitely imprison people based on their religious beliefs without access to a court and without proof in many instances.

 

Terrorism begets terrorism. its time to see that the antecedent of the present wave of worldwide terrorism is rooted in supposedly democratically elected governments policies.

Thsi time next week he will be in the UK claiming benefits. and sueing for something.

He could even hijack a plane and fly it to Stanstead to save on costs. If he kept the receipts he could also probably claim the money back for the gun.

So I suppose it is ok that a bigotted twat who has conspired to massacre hundreds of innocent people getting out after 2 years so he can scurry back to his so called school to teach other bigotted bastards to kill hundreds of other innocent people is ok because it fits in with your particular politics?

Cleric Calls on Bush to Convert to Islam

15 June 2006

SOLO, Indonesia - A reputed leader of the al-Qaida-linked terror group blamed for deadly bombings across Indonesia on Thursday accused President Bush and Australian Prime Minister John Howard of waging wars against Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Militant cleric Abu Bakar Bashir also called on Bush and Howard to convert to Islam, saying it was "the only way to save their souls," adding that families still grieving after the 2002 Bali blasts that killed many foreigners should also become Muslim to find "salvation and peace."

 

Bashir, 68, was released from prison Wednesday after completing a 26- month sentence for conspiracy in the Bali bombings that killed 202 people, was at a hardline Islamic boarding school that has spawned some of Southeast Asia's deadliest terrorists.

 

The firebrand cleric also declined to directly condemn young men who carry out bombings in Indonesia in the name of Islam, saying they he considered them "holy warriors," because they believed they were defending the oppressed.

 

But he also said they were misguided and wrong to use bombs in a country at peace.

 

"Why use bombs in a non-conflict zone, preaching is enough," he said.

 

Jemaah Islamiyah is accused of carrying out Christian church bombings across the world's most populous Muslim nation in 2000, the 2002 bombings on the resort island of Bali, attacks in the capital Jakarta in 2003 and and a triple suicide bombing on Bali last October.

 

The attacks together killed more than 260 people, many of them foreigners, and have thrust Indonesia onto the front line of the global war on terror.

 

Though the United States and Australia said they were disappointed at Bashir's release, Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono noted Thursday that it did not mean his government was soft on Islamic militants.

 

"Abu Bakar Bashir was put on trial. He was punished," Yudhoyono said in Jakarta, adding that Indonesia has arrested hundreds of suspected terrorists and sentenced three linked to the 2002 Bali bombings to death.

 

Bashir, who has never been linked to the actual preparation or commission of terrorist attacks, was asked Thursday about families still suffering from the Bali blasts.

 

He said the attacks "were Allah's will" and that survivors should "convert to Islam" if they wanted to ease their suffering.

 

He had the same message for Bush and Howard, whom he criticized for waging wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying converting was "the only way for them to save their souls."

 

Both ideas were crudely expressed, but are in line with basic Islamic teachings on personal redemption and God's omnipotence.

 

Bashir also told Australia, which urged Indonesian authorities to keep a close eye on his activities, not to "intervene" in his nation's affairs.

 

"I don't interfere in Australian affairs, and you should not intervene in ours," he said.

 

Bashir called Bush an "infidel," but said he was happy the American people were starting to realize that their president had made a mistake when he decided to wage war on Muslims. He did not elaborate, but was apparently referring to sliding opinion polls.

 

"I feel sorry for the American people, but it seems now they realize he was wrong," Bashir told reporters who were invited to speak to him on the porch of his modest home inside the al-Mukmin boarding school complex, which he founded in 1972.

 

Bashir's freedom has raised concerns that he will energize Indonesia's small, Islamic radical fringe by making impassioned speeches at rallies and mosques, but few believe the cleric will play any direct role in terrorism.

 

Before the Bali blasts, Bashir was chiefly known for his campaign to make his secular nation an Islamic state under Sharia - something he said Thursday he would continue to work for - and his vitriolic criticism of the West.

 

Sidney Jones, a leading international expert on Jemaah Islamiyah, said she did not think Bashir's freedom increased the threat of bombings in Indonesia.

 

But, she said, "there is no question that his stature has grown in prison and that he's now seen as a symbol of defying the West and George Bush in particular.

 

"For that reason, he will be a very popular speaker among many young Muslim crowds in many parts to Indonesia, including many people who have no interest in violence whatsoever."
