Bojo’s Boys In Jakarta Hoist The Homo Flag!

Most Indonesian media have carried the scandalous breach of diplomatic courtesy.

And it’s not just homos the UK Embassy is boosting…..

….but transfreaks too, a sickening Facebook post featuring tbe gaystapo banner alongside the Union Jack….

….with a load of trite, treacly trash about ‘love,’ which will have disgusfed plenty of British expats but has appalled decent Indonesians of all creeds.

I don’t often agree with the MUI, the ‘scholars’ of the state-sponsored Indonesian Ulema Council…

….but  they won’t be alone in their response, that the ‘British Embassy’s action is an insult to the values ​​held by the Indonesian people.‘

Their spokesman went on to say –

“Steps that display partiality and or campaign against norms that are contrary to the norms of the Indonesian people are actions that are not in line with the civility of the ethics of friendship..”

Can’t Bekasi ‘Scholar’ Grasp That Respect Goes Two Ways!

Ramadhan is imminent.

Sad to see that Bekasi, where I used to live ( it’s adjacent to Jakarta, though in the Province of West Java) and where I didn’t much like living….

The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI ) Bekasi Regency, West Java (West Java), asked culinary business actors to respect Muslims who fast during the month of Ramadan by closing their businesses during the day.

.This request is addressed to culinary business owners, such as restaurants, cafes, restaurants, coffee shops, and the like.

In other words, the “scholars…”

Yes, them again, whose distinctive contribution to Indonesian society we have noticed time and again, from years ago….

“I appeal to culinary business owners to respect the holy month of Ramadan by closing their business premises during the day during Ramadan,” said Secretary General of MUI Bekasi Regency KH Muhiddin Kamal in Cikarang as reported by Antara . , Saturday (26/3/2022).

https://news.detik.com/berita/d-6002138/mui-kabupaten-bekasi-minta-usaha-kuliner-tutup-siang-hari-selama-ramadan

…

Why should anyone, not obliged by his or her creed to go without, be denied access to ‘culinary premises?’

Nobody’s trying to lure passing Muslims into self-indulgence!

And from a serious Muslim’s point of view?

.

.

Where’s the merit, the spiritual discipline, in denying oneself foodstuffs if there’s no food available anyway?

..

But who cares what I think?

My Indonesian readers might appreciate a report on a local voice raised in protest against the shut-down demand.

MUI Bekasi Usaha Kuliner Tutup Saat Puasa, Pandji Pragiwaksono: Jangan Mau, Beri Kita Cobaan Karena Ingin Pahala!

But I can do no better than quote the late President of Indonesia, Gus Dur, a revered Muslim scholar, who exalted religious liberty and tolerance.
He urged fasters to respect non-fasters!

.

‘If we feel we are Muslims enjoying respect, let us fast with respect for those who are not fasting.’

‘Scholars’ Vexed By ‘Religious School’ Report!

A shocking ( perhaps) report from Indonesia’s National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT)…

.

– that there are at least 198 Islamic boarding schools suspected of being affiliated with terrorists, both local and international terrorism networks –

..has just been released by the BNPT’s Komjen, Boy Rafli Amar, but, regrettably, he chose not to name the ‘pondok pesantren‘ concerned..

However, he did give a breakdown of the sectarian vermin factions…

.

The Evil Within

.

..to which they were linked. viz.

– 1 affiliated with the Jamaah Anshorut Khilafah (JAK).

– 119 with Anshorut Daulah or ISIS sympathizers

– and 68 with Jemaah Islamiyah (JI).

https://pedomantangerang.pikiran-rakyat.com/nasional/pr-073582171/bnpt-deteksi-ratusan-pesantren-diduga-terafiliasi-kelompok-teroris

ooo

But hardly had the BNPT revelations hit the headlines, than a notable from the state-sponsored MUI…

…the ‘Indonesian Scholars Council,’ Secretary General, Amirsyah Tambunan, ‘questioned the data.’

.

.

Amirsyah Tambunan

..

.“On what basis is the data collection, what is the methodology, is it the result of an official study by the BNPT?”

Those are not unreasoable questions.

But then Amirsyah went on to claim that the BNPT had the potential to cause unrest for the surrounding community.

Not only that, BNPT’s exposure will actually make the community less safe and comfortable.”

What exactly does the MUI man mean?

If he were to call for each suspect ‘religious school’ to be named, so that decent parents could remove their offspring from undesirable influences, I’d agree and applaud.

But on the contrary!

Amirsyah wants the BNPT to make sure that…

.

‘...this information does not appear in public!”

Then, sad to say, he played the ”Islamophobia’ card.

.

He asked BNPT to explain to the public so as not to cause negative stigma, especially for Islamic boarding schools.

Let’s note at this point that this is hardly the first time..

Lukman Slams Pesantren Fanatics – Can One Brave Man Slay The Hydra?I

slamist Pesantren Leaders in Indonesia – Pluralist or Primitive?

….that these ‘religious schools’ have caused concern.

..

To be fair to Amirsyah, he also said MUI was all for ‘religious moderation according to the principles of justice and equality for the benefit of the people and the nation.’

But then?

“I invite all parties to stop the narrative of cornering certain groups with Islamophobia…” 

https://www.westjavatoday.com/bnpt-sebut-198-ponpes-terafiliasi-jaringan-teroris-mui-atas-dasar-apa

Oh dear!

As a ‘scholar,’ he ought to know that, ‘Islamophobia’ is a word quite recently invented, to suppress criticism of his creed.

“There’s No Such Thing as Islamophobia. Critique of religion is a fundamental Western right, not an illness.”

https://nationalpost.com/opinion/robert-fulford-a-history-of-islamophobia-a-word-of-dubious-value

Most of you would probably agree!

Any and every creed should be up for criticism.

But Amirsyah’s comments got me thinking about a previous MUI intervention.

I can’t have been the only one who recalled what they had to say when an evil bigot, behind bars for good reason…

Of course sensible people will let Densus 88 do their job…

…which they usually do very well, and not jump the gun on the detained man’s innocence or guilt.

But it seems some are not content to wait, and may be pondering causing a ruckus.

…one of the two largest Muslim mass organisations in Indonesia, expressing his trust in the police.
“I believe the police will be very thorough in handling it,” said General Chairman Haedar Nasir, on Thursday.

AND

Mr.Haedar asked the public not to be provoked by the arrest. According to him, that would only create a rowdy situation and conditions.

Undoubtedly, but to whom might he be referring? Who might be ‘provoked?’

All decent Indonesians applaud action against terrorism, and will be content to wait for this case to be fully dealt with.

But alas, not all Indonesians are decent, any more than all Brits…

…or Americans or Australians.

There are elements who hold fanatic sectarian views.

We have heard their voices before…..

Jakarta’s Ataturk Avenue?

The plan for naming the road in Menteng after Mustafa Kemal Ataturk has drawn controversy…

============

Thus begins one local media report, accurately enough.

The idea arose because the Turks are naming a road after Indonesia’s Founding Father…

….President Soekarno, or Sukarno – spelling optional – so somebody thought that a reciprocal move might be a nice gesture.

Ataturk, after all, created modern Turkey from the ruins of the Ottoman Empire after WW1.

Wow!

https://metro.tempo.co/read/1518911/nama-jalan-mustafa-kemal-ataturk-di-jakarta-ini-penjelasan-dubes-ri-untuk-turki

Islamist ‘Scholars’ – “Don’t Complain if You’re Attacked!”

I am staying neutral.

It was several years ago that I drew readers’ attention to Kemal Ataturk’s present-day political heirs, ‘the so-called “secularist” and “progressive” nationalist Kemalists,’ whom Western observers often deem an infinitely more promising alternative to Erdolf.

But they’re not, actually.

They too are as revanchist as Erdolf, ‘dreaming of expanding Turkey’s borders into Greece.’

This time, Sözcü newspaper has joined the choir of Turks dreaming of occupying Greek islands.

…and that’s an ‘opposition’ newspaper!

They are heirs to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and while he did a dashed fine job of stamping out backward ‘caliphate’ customs,

…viz. his actions when he…

==.

Ataturk – no uptights at his parties

—

“…..closed all religious courts and schools,

– prohibited the wearing of headscarves among public sector employees,

– abolished the ministry of canon law and pious foundations,

– lifted the ban on alcohol,

– adopted the Gregorian calendar in place of the Islamic calendar,

– made Sunday a day of rest instead of Friday,

– changed the Turkish alphabet from Arabic letters to Roman ones.”     http://dailycaller.com/2017/05/28/guns-politics-the-rise-of-ataturk/

BUT

…at the same time, he also stamped out a million Greeks!

So he did well by the Turks, but oversaw genocide against non-Turks unlucky enough to be within his reach.

However, many fanatics here do not share my positive view on his reforms in Turkey, hence the debate.

And hence my neutrality!

Death To Corruptors, MUI? Why Not Terrorists?

It’s been a while since I wrote about the MUI…

 

…Indonesia’s Council of ‘Scholars’ – a state-subsidised body with fancy premises in uptown Jakarta.

But last week’s comments from Ikhsan Abdullah, their ‘Deputy General Secretary for Law and Human Rights, ‘ got my attention.

The prominent ‘scholar’ is very upset by a case of alleged corruption involving ‘mosque grant funds.’

If necessary, he said, corruptors should be sentenced to death in order to provide a deterrent effect

 https://news.detik.com/berita/d-5737615/mui-tak-habis-pikir-proyek-masjid-sriwijaya-dikorupsi-wajib-dihukum-mati

.

.

There is much to be said for capital punishment, not least that it’s 100% a deterrent – how many executed crims have re-offended?

Most Brits would love to see restoration of the death penalty, for various categories of atrocious crime, esp terrorism.

But no way will the UK’s jellyfish elite allow a referendum.

But strangely, here, where Indonesia’s excellent security forces do good work taking out jihadist scum, despite bitching from undesirables….

Jakarta Echoes of Gibraltar – How Dare You Kill Terrorists?

.

…the MUI has not so far called for evil sectarians to be put down.

…

In fact, when the authorities began talk of releasing the savage, what did the MUI have to say?

Could it be that the global pandemic unleashed by Red China has got some nosey-parkers to grow up?

But there are still a few days left – let’s wait and see.

Allons, Tous Le Jours! Fire The Moron!

One learns something new every day, and this week I have learned that a posh cake store named Tous Les Jours is ‘South Korean,’ or so the Jakarta Post tells us.

Why a French name?

Lord knows, but mention of The Lord brings us to His Big Day, namely Christmas, and that’s why the cake store’s in the news this month, when people are preparing to celebrate the major Christian holiday.

It’s a weird story, for the store is not located in some benighted village in Aceh Province but in one of Jakarta’s glitziest malls, Pacific Place.

Yet there appeared therein a nasty notice blaring Islamist bigotry  – that it would ‘reject requests for Christmas greetings to reportedly obtain halal certification.’

However, one’s natural disgust at such news fast became confusion….

….for the Islamic authority responsible for such ‘certification,’ the MUI, quickly dissociated itself from any such sectarian nonsense – and the head office of Tous Les Jours also disowned the notice – it was not an “official policy issued by the management.”

The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI), which is in charge of conducting the halal assessment, however, claims no companies were asked to refuse to write holiday greetings of faiths other than Islam to gain halal status.

https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2019/11/23/thats-excessive-mui-denies-asking-bakery-to-reject-xmas-greetings.html

So the MUI didn’t require the store to indulge in crass bigotry, and the company’s bosses didn’t either?

WHO DID?

Unfortunately, sometimes, a lot of these stories just slither down the drain of public amnesia and nobody is held to account.

I used to try to keep attention focused on the scandal of businesses collaborating with fanatics, as in the shameful way Gramedia worked hand-in-glove with, yes, the MUI, in its notorious book-burning…

On this occasion, however, it shouldn’t be hard to nail the moronic individual who authorised the notice.

I hope all the media attention doesn’t melt away, not until the SOB is identified and fired.

 

Bog-Busters In Indonesia? Trans-Freaks Arouse Islamic Ire!

Preface – for the benefit of North American readers, the word ‘bog’ is UK slang for ‘toilet’ in British slang!

.

Not all Indonesia toilets as as awful as this – there are many much nicer!

But men ought not to be using those meant for women

….

While I can’t immediately recall many, if any, occasions on which I’ve found myself at one with the ‘scholars’ of the MUI here in Indonesia…

.

…and in fact can recall innumerable times when they have appalled me…

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

 Bali Hindu King – Don’t Kill Our Cows! Muslim ‘Scholars’ – Get Lost!!  

 Islamist ‘Scholars’ – “Don’t Complain if You’re Attacked!” 

…today I read that the Indonesian Scholars Council are quite rightly condemning cross-dressers, who use their gender-bender outfits to gate-crash women’s toilets.

The MUI’s branch in South Sulawesi has issued an angry reminder that men are not to dress as women, after males have been reportedly sporting not only head-scarves ( hijabs) but even face-veils to hide what they really are!

.

.

.

There’s even a name been coined for the freakos – crosshijaber –
– and the MUI branch chairman, a Mr. Renreng, has warned them not to show up in his province.

This comes after the bizarre phenomenon has been raised in the DPR (parliament) Anggota DPR Minta Kemenag Bina Crosshijaber and by both the mainstream Muslim organisations, the NU and Muhammadiyah.

Muhammadiyah Minta Polisi Selidiki Crosshijaber

….

: PBNU soal Fenomena Crosshijaber: Itu di Luar Ajaran Islam

( you can use Google Translate for the above links)

With Hallowe’en approaching ( an annual event which the NU and Muhammadiyah dislike! ) people in the West can expect weirdly costumed characters to appear in their streets.

But of course many Indonesians, not just Muslims but also the large Christian minority, are fully aware that the trans-freaks are not a fun phenomenon…
