INDONESIAN cleric Abu Bakar Bashir told a court Thursday that Muslims have a religious duty to take up arms against non-believers, as he offered his first defence against terrorism charges. The cleric who is regarded as a spiritual leader of Islamist militants around the region is accused of leading an Al-Qaeda-style militant group that was discovered training recruits in Aceh province last year.

Police jostled with about 200 of the frail 72-year-old's radical supporters as he arrived under tight guard amid shouts of "Allahu akbar"

The cleric is an alleged co-founder of the Jemaah Islamiyah regional terror organisation blamed for multiple attacks including the 2002 Bali bombings which killed 202 people, mainly Western tourists.

Do these people want the middle east to become a parking lot?

Ans: Yes, it’s all the same to them
as long as infidels die.

Remember, when dealing with aliens, they don’t
think like WE do!

[tet68]

On one point I can agree.

Weapons training IS God’s Will.

We sent these people millions of dollars after the earthquake and tsunami. I wonder what they did with all that money?

Thanks george76. This joker’s acquittal will trigger full-blown jihad through SE Asia.

Anyone who buys that “defense” is a dhimmi idiot. Islam is an evil perversion, not a religion.

That ain’t sarcasm that sadly is the truth these days.

Sadly the politicians ,MSM , academia ,leftists in general will still be playing with themselves, but those folks in fly over country who don’t care to lied to, or lied about will in fact be ready but will be stopped from doing anything by the pud-pounders in Washington D.C. .
