The Fanatic Returns! Indonesian “Scholar” Offers Warm Welcome!

Shocking news!

Habib Rizieq is back, but this has been predicted for some time.

Watching TVOne at 11am, we saw footage of the scene on the toll road to the airport, where would-be passengers have been forced to walk with heavy bags to catch their flights, or sit in their cars and miss their flights…

.

.

…as fanatic FPI hordes have swarmed all over the area.

Where are the police, with water cannon to clear the way for the public, on a public highway? 

What’s this all about?

Let me digress…

I have had to comment on the collective character of the MUI (Indonesian Ulema Council ) from time to time over the years ..

“A Wise And Noble Step?” Islamic ‘Scholars’ On Terrorist Unleashed In Indonesia! 

…

Syamsul Maarif,  General Secretary of the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) Jakarta

“If the act of adultery is by a married person, then stoning is the sentence, while if unmarried, then it’s whipping,” he said.

…but gradually wearied of that, because no government has stood up to them, nor even cut their tax-funding, no matter what outlandish things they say.

But their deputy chairman, Muhyiddin Junaidi, made such a breath-taking assertion this month that I feel obliged to let overseas readers know about it.

I haven’t written anything about Junaidi for years, not since the MUI’s antics seven years ago…

MUI thinks the contest image remains attached to advance the genitalia.

…not since he and his colleagues were up in arms about sexy girls.

But this month Muhyiddin proclaimed that the much touted return from (self-) exile in Saudi Arabia of Habib Rizieq, ‘ can encourage Muslims in Indonesia to be more enthusiastic in preventing evil.

.

Habib Rizieq of the FPI

…

‘Muhyiddin assessed that Rizieq was a cleric figure who had excellence and was creative when dealing with something that was considered wrong. Especially at this time, according to him, acts that violate Allah SWT’s orders are considered massive in Indonesia.’ “Currently, evil is rampant and very massive,” he said…

Muhyiddin considered Rizieq an asset for Muslims in Indonesia. 

Veteran readers here will know all about Habib Rizieq, and his vigilante gang, the FPI…

• Jakarta Governor candidate Anies Baswedan wins an adoring smile from ferocious FPI ‘grand imam, Habib Rizieq, who had suggested the Christian Governor Ahok be slain for unacceptably quoting some Koranic verse –.“We encourage the government to process the death penalty for Ahok as soon as possible,” said Rizieq.

oooo

oooo

Yes, Rizieq seriously believes that ‘blasphemers’ deserve to be put to death!

That was four years ago, but there’s no reason to suppose he has changed his view, despite recent events in France, so perhaps Junaidi is wise to add a little to his eulogy, as follows!

He also realized that Rizieq still had many shortcomings. Therefore, a synergy is needed in preaching by other scholars or ustaz in order to fill this gap.

https://m.cnnindonesia.com/nasional/20201105105638-20-566191/mui-sebut-kepulangan-rizieq-shihab-bangkitkan-gairah-umat

The FPI!

Despite Rizieq’s bloodthirsty exhortation, and the howls that issued from savage primitives who shuffled through Jakarta back then…

The protesters, most of whom were men dressed in white Muslim attire, were heard yelling, “We want a Muslim governor,” “Burn Ahok!” and “Kafir!”   http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/10/14/thousands-hard-liners-march-against-ahok.htm

Jakarta – Anti-Fanatic Petition

That was about a petition by pro-tolerance Indonesians asking that the FPI’s permit to function as a ‘community organisation’ be not renewed.

Have a look – or you may just sample these older posts.

But this latest petition sets a new standard in courage, demanding that the fanatic Rizeq be stripped of his Indonesian citizenship!

He is currently in Saudi Arabia, and has been there quite a while…Indonesian hard-line cleric ducks facing porn charges again …evidently not eager to come home.

Anyway, here’s the link to the new petition…

Only Indonesian citizens are entitled to add their names, but it’s well worth reading!

Or use this Tempo link  –https://en.tempo.co/read/1212894/fpi-rejects-petition-demanding-rizieq-shihab-citizenship-revoked  – if you are not up to Google’s efforts!

Needless to say, the Islamist fanatics of the FPI are not best pleased. Their Jakarta gauleiter, Novel, says they’re starting their own petition.

They were able to mobilise several hundred thousand bigots for the anti-Ahok shuffling, so if all of those were able to read and write, the FPI petition might catch up…or not.

In fact, the FPI petition is not actually about Rizieq. Instead they are targetting President Jokowi!

Quote-  to urge the Constitutional Court to disqualify the Presidential Candidate number 01 Joko Widodo….

This may be a clever tactic, since Jokowi’s Vice-President was a star witness AGAINST Ahok.

Will the President consult his VP before responding to the multitude of decent folk demanding that Rizieq be deprived of citizenship? Jokowi’s VP Pick

And if he does, how will VP Ma’aruf advise him?

The scene of the clash was the FPI premises in Jogjakarta, which, we read, is the HQ in that vicinity of Prabowo’s presidential campaign team.

Oh! But is that just a local arrangement?

Hardly!

…..

…who has in the past seen no shame at having a cheery photo taken with the fanatic.

Prabowo recently, admirably, disowned any intentions of collaborating with those crazies who want to impose theocratic caliphate tyranny on Indonesia.

Would it not be very welcome, and very reassuring, to everyone who cares about Indonesia’s future as a pleasant, pluralist, peaceful place to live in, if he were also now to disown the apparent support he’s receiving from Rizieq and his white-shirt gang?

And just to show I am being even-handed ( and I am genuinely neutral in this year’s election) would it not be even more welcome and reassuring if BOTH presidential candidates…

Rizieq, far-left, shares a platform with President Jokowi

I was crossing the footbridge at the Halte Busway at Slipi Pertamburan, when I spotted the huge ad, so I paused my stately stride to study the smiling faces, several of whom I recognised, not least that of the ‘Grand Imam’ of the FPI, the ‘Islam Defender Front,’ Habib Rizieq, whom we have featured so many times in our writings…

Next Indonesian V-P – Another General ‘Close To’ Fanatics?

So Metrotvnews.com tells us that the National Democrat Party has begun to eye TNI Commander General Gatot Nurmantyo as a running-mate for President Jokowi in the next presidential election? The news item adds that Gatot is believed to be able to attract votes from Muslims, especially the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI).

http://news.metrotvnews.com/politik/nbw36PRb-jokowi-gatot-diyakini-mampu-raup-suara-fpi

It’s not unusual for high-ranking soldiers in many countries to look at politics as a suitable change of career.

Think back to Eisenhower and De Gaulle.

But after the shock many people got when Jokowi decided to share a platform with the FPI’s leader, Habib Rizieq, who openly asserted that Jakarta’s ex-governor Ahok should be put to death for ‘blasphemy…

“We encourage the government to process the death penalty for Ahok as soon as possible,” said Rizieq.  http://www.suara.com/news/2016/10/14/134313/

Rizieq, far-left, listens contentedly to Jokowi’s speech

…when instead the President could have confronted that sectarian fanatic, it’s alarming that General Gatot’s alleged ability to win the approval of Rizieq’s thug-gang is seen as a big plus.

“Close to the Islamic community, close to FPI, etc. It is good to fill the space…”  So says a political analyst with  Indonesia Political Review (IPR) who added that Gatot ”is also  close to the scholars!”

When that word ‘scholars‘ is used here, it doesn’t just mean people who study a lot, or even a little!

It refers to the MUI, the Indonesian Council of Scholars, a frequent source of outlandish intolerance, whose outbursts we’ve covered aplenty.

• …...

Who knows if this predicted pairing will come to pass?

But what’s worrying is the alleged closeness of the country’s top officer with violent, lawless bigots.

One hopes the assertion is unfounded.  General Gatot Nurmantyo has yet to issue any denial, so far as I know.

Whatever, it is a matter of public interest, not least in the light of that exculpation of the white-shirt gang reported some months ago, from Indonesia’s top cop, General Tito Karnavian, who praised Rizieq!

“He was very tolerant actually… FPI is an Islamic organization so very tolerant of other religions,” he added. 

Video Viral, Tito Karnavian: FPI Ormas Islam yang Sangat Toleran

That assessment of the gang and its leader parked a storm of protest.

Many good Indonesians, including millions of Muslims, were and are dismayed at the very thought of the FPI or any sectarian cliques having friends in high places.

 

‘Kota Setan?’ Devil City In Java? Fanatics Fume Over Festival!

Well, how many of you, dear readers, paid attention to recent comments emanating from the FPI, the self-styled ‘Islam Defender Front?’

None of you, probably, if you live overseas!

But here in Indonesia, ever since President Jokowi chose to share a platform with Habib Rizieq, the FPI ‘High Priest,’ one is surely ill-advised to ignore their utterances, however bizarre.

It’s not exactly the first time that Islamist fanatics have shown signs of stress over matters relating to that provincial city.

This time that geezer Syahid was in a tizzy, railing at the popular and entertaining local regent, Dedy Mulyadi, because of a festival in the West Java city.

“Never participate in the Jurig Festival,’ ranted Joban.

Why?

Jurig parade

======

Well, it seems the cultural festival has been outrageously focusing on culture, not religion.

And one of the traditional carriages in the photo was allegedly used to bring a buffalo to a ‘polytheistic’ event. Joban was in the news last year, when he tweet-scolded Jokowi for having had the carriage to the National Palace!

http://www.panjimas.com/news/2016/08/13/ulama-purwakarta-pak-jokowi-kenapa-anda-bawa-kereta-jurig-ini-ke-istana/

….due to his blood-curdling demand that Jakarta Governor Ahok, currently imprisoned for – believe it or not, in this 21st Century! – ‘blasphemy,’ (yes, seriously!) be processed for execution.

Now we see he’s back in the headlines again.

The police first summoned Rizieq, Firza, Rizieq’s wife and a friend of Firza’s as witnesses on April 25. However, none of them showed up…the police summoned Rizieq again on May 8 for questioning scheduled on May 10.

Oh dear!

So what do the Police have to say?

Argo confirmed that Rizieq was still abroad, but refused to inform reporters about the latter’s exact whereabouts.

A very big ‘IF’ – and it’s never wise to take anything emerging from an Islamist’s mouth at face value.

Odd turn of phrase, but then it’s a lawyer talking, and you know what I think of them, as a rule. This one’s called Kapitra Ampera, the source too of the ‘five million’ prediction.

Maybe the reporter who spoke with him didn’t ask the obvious  questions, like :-

Why should anyone be punished for saying what he thinks about Islam or any religion? What kind of justice is involved in this kind of witch-hunting? What level of ‘severity’ do the jihadist jerks think appropriate?

We are well aware of one fanatic’s views on this matter.  We’ve often quoted Habib Rizieq, Grand Imam of the self-styled Islam Defenders’ Front (FPI) so we’ll do so again, just in case you missed it.

=

“We encourage the government to process the death penalty for Ahok as soon as possible,” said Rizieq.  http://www.suara.com/news/2016/10/14/134313/

The prosecutors in the court where Ahok has been undergoing the weird ‘blasphemy’ inquisition only want probation. So there’s no chance the good governor will be sentenced to death, or any other barbaric shariah punishment.

But no doubt we’ll see and hear plenty of pig-ignorant savages howling for horrible penalties to be imposed, in a blatant bid to influence the court.

I hope it rains torrentially and that thousands of them ( it won’t be five million – that’s half the adult population, and some people in the capital actually have honest jobs to go to!) catch the flu.
