Abu Bakar Bashir (may his tribe DECREASE!)......
to Abu Bakar Ba'asyir : what about killing your own fellow countrymen?!! think about their family that left behind,the widows,the orphan..?!! To all of you who agree with what this old loony war monger said..well kiss my HOLY ASS...nice :)
Abu Bakar Bashir (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel writing in a book of gold:—
Exceeding peace had made Bakar Bashir bold,
And to the Presence in the room he said
"What writest thou?"—The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered "The names of those who love the Lord."
"And is mine one?" said Abu. "Nay, not so,"
Replied the angel. Abu spoke more low,
But cheerly still, and said "I pray thee, then,
Write me as one that hates his fellow men."
The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
It came again with a great wakening light,
And showed the names whom love of God had blessed,
And lo! Bakar Bashir's name wasn't on the list.

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir said police committed murder when they killed suspected terrorists Muhammad Syahrir and Saefudin Jaelani during a raid in Ciputat, Tangerang on Friday.
“The police sought to murder the martyrs to kill jihad and dakwah [the spreading of the word of Islam]. But their deed was futile,” Bashir said. The jihadi movement against the United States and its cronies would never die, he said.
Abdurrahim, founder of Al Ghuraba, a jihadist group that once fought in Afghanistan, and a close friend of suspected terrorist Muhammad Jibril, also denounced the raid. “The police took that step to quickly settle their affairs. Rather than fighting it out in the court, better to just kill the suspects,” he said.
Meanwhile, three hardline groups, the Islamic Studies and Action Center, Surakarta Muslim Soldiers (LUIS) and Indonesian Muslim Youth Solidarity (SPII) demanded that National Police Chief Gen. Bambang Hendarso Danuri step down for violating human rights by not doing his utmost to capture the suspected terrorists alive.
“The police even shot Air Setiawan, Eko Sarjono, and Hadi Susilo to death and they’re not even on the wanted list,” said a spokesperson for the organizations, referring to suspects killed in another raid.
