Jakarta – Fanatic Arrested – No Tears Here!

A little whiff of irony, maybe, to read the story of Munarman…

.

..

..till recently a senior figiure in the now-outlawed sectarian vigilante gang that oddly styled itself the ‘Islam Defenders Front…’

.

.

…in The Diplomat, of all publications!

Far from diplomacy, the characteristic that springs to mind when I think of the lawyer closely associated with  Rizieq the Fanatic is tantrum-throwing.

Munarman’s deplorable behaviour, live on tv, a few years ago, when I dubbed him Munarman the Lout…

.

• …invited onto TVOne to discuss FPI’s hoodlum behaviour, Munarman lost the argument and then totally lost his infantile temper, hurling a glassful of water over the mild-mannered academic who’d bested him.

• Look Who’s Talking? FPI Lout Munarman Calls Ahok Arrogant! 

….one of various incidents which we have mentioned more than once, and which did not result in jail-time…

.

..

But he’s locked up now, and it seems possible that his latest difficulties with law enforcement this week…

….

…

…after being investigated by the admirable officers of Densus88, may be more than a minor headache.

..

The anti-terror specials allegedly arrested him for not only ‘inciting people to commit terrorist acts,’ but also for ‘pledging allegiance to the Islamic State group…‘

Of course we must await judgement as the majesty of rhe law unfolds, but the media report makes for an enjoyable read.

The arrest took place in Tangerang, just a few miles from where I live in Jakarta, after police interrogated ‘scores of suspected militants detained after an attack outside a Roman Catholic cathedral during Palm Sunday Mass last month.’

We covered that shocking incident….

…and it’s interesting that the police also cobducted a no doubt diligent search of the vigilante gang’s former HQ and turned up ‘chemicals for use in explosives.

Very interesting!

Jakarta Fury –Merkel Flunkey Prowling Fanatic HQ!

We wrote quite a lot about their HQ, when Mama Stasi Merkel’s agents were prowling about there a few months ago!

Now what?

“He is accused of an evil conspiracy to carry out acts of terror,” National Police spokesperson Argo Yuwono said in a statement….

Patience is our watchword!

But no sympathy!

it’s hard not to think about all the people harassed and hurt by cowardly FPI thugs.

 

Jakarta – Cops Trying To Make ‘Public Wary’ Of Fanatic Gang?

The attorney for Habib Rizieq Shihab (HRS), Sugito Atmo Prawiro, said that the Police’s move to collaborate with Densus 88 in the title of a case related to the FPI account was excessive. 

That’s interesting.

We have not paid much attention to Rizieq the Fanatic…

…for a while, largely because his gang’s been banned and he’s safely in detention!

Sugito suspects that the Police are actually trying to lead public opinion to be wary of FPI by cooperating with Densus 88 in handling the account.

Maybe Pak Sugito is correct, but is it not possible that quite a significant percentage of public opinion already is, and has been for a long time, ‘wary of FPI…’

‘Let’s Burn Out the Orphans!’ 

…and does not need this news of cooperation between regular police and the special anti-terror unit, Densus 88, to ensure it’s ‘led’ to be so?
