Valentines Targetted By Indonesian Kill-Joys

Every February, the run-up to the 14th means at least some rivetting news, as Islamist fanatics rant and rave against young love.

Last year?

February 14th – ‘International Hide-The-Yummy-Bits Day!’ 

And sure enough, here comes a familiar figure emerging from his Dark Age lair to condemn Valentines.

• It’s Grizzling Gus, aka top ‘scholar ‘ of West Sumatra, Guzrizal Gazahar, who has ‘outlawed’ celebration of Valentine’s Day.

• As Chairman of the MUI in that province, Gus must have studied something, but as the links above will explain, it sure wasn’t tolerance of other people’s beliefs.

• However, this latest outburst is entirely predictable from anyone involved with the MUI, the ‘Indonesian Council of Scholars.’

• “Valentine’s Day is not a day of love but a source of lust and free living without esteeming religion,”   says Gus!

  “A Letter for Osama”
  ——–
  Osama,
  You never told me
  If you wanted to blow the WTC and Pentagon
  Bush also had no evidence until now
  So I chose to believe
  In the love that emanates
  Beneath the shade of your eyes
  In the spirit of defence that is stored
  Behind the denseness of your beard.
  Osama,
  You are the one who taught
  The dumb nations to be able to speak
  So they yelled.
  You are the one who sowed the seeds of courage,
  In the field of souls of those who were timid
  So they fought.
  You are the one who spread the blessings of independence,
  In the well of hearts of those who are oppressed
  So they struggled.
  You are the one who stirred up the hopes in the sky
  Awakening the hearts of the people
  So they rebelled.
  Osama…
  You are the one who locked the mouth of the superpower nations,
  So they fell silent
  And they can only run amok.
  You are the one who undermined the pride
  From the foreheads of the arrogant nations
  So they are silenced.
  You are the one who robbed the sense of security
  From the souls of the tyrannical nations
  So they are never able to sleep soundly.
  You are the one who snatched away the appetite for life
  From the heaven of the hearts of those prosperous nations
  So they are no longer enjoying life.

I’d have thought that, rather than busy themselves with writing a letter enjoining their citizens not to enjoy  Valentine;s Day, those two mayoral busy-bodies might do better  – albeit belatedly – to condemn the hate-verses penned by their party’s former fuhrer.

Nobody else in PKS has ever yet done so, as far as I know! But the party’s an invaluable source of entertainment…

A dead loss as PM, he did break new ground in the field of intolerance, banning the American rightwinger Michael Savage from the UK.

The equally lousy ‘Conservative’ Prime Minister , Cast-Iron Cameron announced that Mr. Savage would continue to be banned from the country.

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/may/3/michael-savage-still-banned-from-uk-petitions-dona/

You may also recall that here on our little blog we drew attention to the fact that a fanatical Islamist, who had written an ode to Osama Bin Laden AFTER 9/11, was NOT banned from Britain.     https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/brits-banned-michael-savage-but-let-in-top-jakarta-islamist-author-of-odious-ode-to-911-mass-murderer/

And the UK Government saw no grounds to ban HIM from Her Majesty’s realm?

ARRANT HYPOCRISY, which surely substantiates the verifiable assertion…

…….

Michael Savage

………

….that Michael Savage was banned purely to appease real fanatics, a ‘balance’ to match the exclusion of evil clerics!

Now that Cameron’s Home Secretary has succeeded Cast-Iron in 10 Downing Street, it’s time Theresa May was brought to book for her pandering to Islamist intolerance.

She must be made either to give chapter and verse on the reasons why Savage may not visit Britain, or to scrap the damn ban and let Brits hear what he has to say.

Mother Theresa is notoriously indifferent to her own common people, hence I present you with a petition, asking the President of the United States to confront her.

More than 9,500 people have signed a petition launched Tuesday urging Mr. Trump and his State Department to demand that the U.K. lift its travel ban against the radio host.

“It is outrageous that a Western nation would ban a popular American commentator with millions of listeners and several New York Times bestselling books to ‘balance’ its list, apparently fearing it would be accused of being biased against Muslims,” the petition states.

“Michael Savage has never advocated violence, and his political views are protected by the First Amendment…

As far as I can tell, Michael Savage has opinions on just about everything, so he and I have that in common!

But I don’t necessarily agree with everything he says, or with how he says it.

Nevertheless, it is indeed outrageous that he remains excluded from a country which allows REAL savages to parade their odious hate on its public highways.

Only Americans can sign the petition, so I can’t.

However, I hope every reader in the United States will.

Manado Mayhem! Jakarta Post Flouts Its Own ‘Bold’ Motto?

If ever I feel in need of a wry smile, I check out the Jakarta Post website and look at its motto.

It is so untrue.

I could refer yet again to their ‘pluralist’ editors, who thunder away on all sorts of issues yet have never uttered a word to condemn the Nazi-style book-burning…

• But today I noticed their dramatic report on the scenes of massive disorder in Manado, where hundreds of righteously angry citizens turned out to protest at the visit to their province of the Deputy Speaker of Indonesia’s House of Representatives.

• In the face of the teargas, the protesters fought back throwing stones at police officers, several of whom were injured.

• Facing strong resistance, the police deployed a water cannon to disperse the crowd. Protesters managed to break through the entrance gate of the governor’s office compound before hundreds of police pushed them back.  

  http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/05/13/angry-mob-protests-deputy-house-speakers-visit-to-manado.html

• Right!

• A powerful display of strong  emotions on a subject clearly of great significance. So all readers here and overseas are curious as to exactly what the issue may be, that has provoked such an outbreak of public anger.

• Naturally, the bold JP tells all, very clearly?

• Uh, NOT!

• The protesters said they rejected Fahri’s visit because of controversial remarks he is reported to have made that could heighten sectarian tensions in the country.

WHAT ‘controversial remarks?’

HOW could Fahri’s mysterious words have provoked ‘sectarian tensions?’

Useful information, surely, which any newspaper worthy of the name might think readers ought to know, so they can understand the story that made this JP headline?

Angry mob protests deputy House speaker’s visit to Manado

Tough! The JP doesn’t divulge the Deputy Speaker’s ‘remarks.’

The JP doesn’t even mention which party he belongs to!

WHY?

We’ve covered Fahri before.

Perhaps there’s a clue in that report, not to Fahri’s latest ‘remarks’ which have upset the good people of Manado, but to why almost anything Fahri says might be controversial!

Or you can try to look through those parts of the Indonesian media which really are BOLD and INDEPENDENT!

Jakarta’s ‘Moderate’ Anies, Adored By Extremists, Disowns Jewish Tune!

Hilarious story in the Jakarta Post, all about the once-upon-a-time ‘moderate’ Muslim ‘intellectual,’Anies Baswedan, who wants so badly to become the capital city’s governor that he toddled along to explain himself to a fanatic Islamist gang…

• Another ‘Moderate’ Muslim Hanging Out With Da Gang? 

———

Anies Wins an adoring smile from ferocious fanatic Habib Rizieq, who thinks the Christian GovernorAhok should be slain for mere words.

“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/

000000000000

Anies has been busily denying that one of his campaign ditties sounds highly similar to the song “Hashem Meleh” by Jewish singer Gad Elbaz. 

http://www.thejakartapost.com/multimedia/2017/04/07/anies-denies-campaign-jingle-copying-jewish-song.html

You’d think Indonesian politicians wouldn’t give a tinker’s cuss about whether or not one of their campaign tunes resembles Mr. Elbaz’s hits.

==

• 
• ———–

• Indonesia, after all, is nowhere near the Middle East.\

• But if you think so, think again.

• Attitudes here are not dictated by geographical logic but by sectarian solidarity, as I had wearily to point out when Israel last retaliated against Palestinian terrorism.

• TVOne’s endless playing of a dreary pro-Palestinian song, and the way it decorated its ‘news’ programming with anything-but-impartial colours….

• ——–

.Hamas Pigs Gloat Over Baby’s Death! Will TVOne in Jakarta Highlight Their Sin? 

…exemplified the pathetic mind-set.

===

So we should not be in the least surprised by stern denials from Anies’ HQ that his jolly jingle was plagiarized from the Israeli band’s song…

They boldly declare that  “our song came first, in April 2014, while the Israeli band released its song later, in January 2016.”

I rarely praise the Jakarta Post but this time the journos there did their home-work.

The statement, however, is in contradiction with the fact that the song “Hashem Meleh” was uploaded on Jan 27, 2013, as can be seen on the official Youtube account of Gad Elbaz.

So!

Something of a serious situation faces the folks working for the “moderate intellectual!”

But their attempted refutation of the claimed resemblance raises other questions, since they argue that their song was adapted from the Prosperous Justice Party’s jingle.

Now anyone who purports to be moderate would surely not want in ANY way to be associated in the public mind with the Prosperous Justice Party, known here as the PKS.

…whose infamous poem of praise for mass-murderer Bin Laden, after 9/11, we’ve mentioned more than once.

And even ignoring the Islamist angle, there’s another recent PKS leader who is not exactly a grand advertisement for political propriety.

Just read all about Mr. Luthfi!

But it would be unfair to abuse Anies Baswedan for borrowing even a fanatic party’s music.

You can keep your forty shades of green, or any other hue..

Anies certainly sees no shame in it.

So how come his crowd are so desperate to disown the Israeli song?

Does somebody fear even a whiff of Jewry will harm his chances against the incumbent Ahok?

…but he has no majority support on the City Council, so cannot hope to bring the capital into the 21st century single-handed. 

City councilor Nasrullah from the Prosperous Justice Party called on Governor Ahok not to interfere with religious traditions like the slaughtering of animals during Idul Adha because such an intervention could spark conflict.

It was led till recently by a man named Anis Matta, infamous for his ode to mass-murderer Osama Bin Laden!

However, since we’re on the subject of halal, I saw something about that in the European media, a week ago. a Halal drink alleged to support jihad financing !

The accusations were made in an article in German weekly ‘Spiegel,’ which writes that radical Islamists use the profit of selling drinks made by Austrian-Bosnian company ‘Sultan Drinks’ to finance propaganda…

—————–

The report appears to exculpate the Sultan Drinks owners, but the dealers who sell it are another matter, e.g.

The company ‘Triple Port Ltd.’ is one of the companies that sells the drinks. One of their contact people is Karim L.

He was the speaker of the Muslim Council in the German city of Bonn who had to resign after it became clear he had raised funds for a Salafist organisation…

Aha.

….a disturbing outburst, based on his  recent chat with an intolerant Islamist crony, whose bitter hostility to Jakarta’s popular Governor Ahok is variously attributed to his race, his religion and his ‘big mouth.’ These short-comings, it seems, mean that Ahok ‘deserves hate.’

Taking the last excuse first, it’s fair to say that Ahok, unlike so many mealy-mouthed notables here, doesn’t mince his words.

The thing is, even KP’s buddy admits Ahok offers clean government (and clean rivers!) yet he would likely continue to dislike Ahok… – just because he looks different, worships differently and says what he really thinks when he witnesses sloth, corruption or religious persecution.

…and he was gracious enough to comment and say that he actually didn’t ‘hate’ Australia, quite the contrary. He also invited me to drop in to his HQ for a chat, which didn’t happen due to no fault on his part or mine.

However, this time he’s described in detail a real hater, so I’ll be interested to see if he comments again.

Deja Vu in Jakarta – More Protests But Many Mosques Still Blaring!

I was relaxing beside a pool on Thursday afternoon and picked up a Jakarta Post that was within easy reach of where I was lounging slothfully, only almost to discard it within a twinkling of an eye..

Grovelling Gramedia’s Book–Burning Bonanza – Appeasing Fanatics 

oooooooooooo

But on that occasion, last Thursday, I honestly thought it was just a very out-of-date copy that had been resurrected from an old cupboard.

Why? Because of the headline.

Kalla urges mosques to tone it down http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2016/03/11/police-bust-south-jakarta-teenage-prostitution-ring.html

I read it carefully, a longish yarn about Vice-President Jusuf Kalla urging inconsiderate ‘clerics’ who run cacaphonous mosques in Jakarta to give it a rest.

I live close enough to several mosques and the volume can be loud sometimes, but I’m used to it. Other people I know, for example a friend who lives on Jalan Rasuna Said, downtown, tell me it’s unbearable in their vicinity.

00

Jusuf Kalla

0000

But when I got home from the evening’s partying, I checked out old posts on this blog, and sure enough!

Deja vu!

Mr.Kalla appeared in one of my posts back in 2012! About exactly the same problem!

Mosques Above The Law! ‘Too Sensitive’ to Enforce Noise Control! And Criticism? – ‘An Outrage!’ 

The sheer Islamist arrogance expressed  back then, by the parliamentary spokesman for the fanatic PKS party, has to be read to be believed.

To be fair, decent Muslims abound here, and we also quoted one of those, a mosque care-taker named Badhruddin Noor, who keeps the noise down out of common civility..

Badruddin also cited religious tolerance as a reason behind their policy. 
“Half of the population in this neighborhood is non-Muslim so we have to respect them too.”  

If we fast-forward to last year, too, we find Mr. Kalla quoted again, on the same subject.

Generous Jakarta Mosques – Free ‘Wee Small Hours’ Alarm Calls! 

Clearly asking arrogant bigots to pipe down is a waste of time. But in fact there’s no need to. Jakarta, at least, has apparently had, for years, regulations about noise nuisance, as noted in our previous posts.

 Jakarta administration spokesman Cucu Ahmad Kurnia said “There are some local ordinances regarding public order, including one passed in 2007. However, adzan is not regarded as a public disturbance given the sensitivity of the issue. Some people might be annoyed by it but most of us, who live in a predominantly Muslim country, still need it,” he said.

Not regarded as a public nuisance? By whom? Need it? As I observed then…

Why is it sensitive to expect mosques to respect the feelings of non-Muslims?

Slapping fines on the anti-socials should surely be possible, and would, I suspect, get the job done. Just keep fining them, then if they don’t pay the fines, have them arrested for non-payment.

As I remarked in one of those previous posts – 

If I’m getting home pre-dawn, after a good night out, I don’t come along the street singing ‘The Wild Side of Life’ (usually!) or raucously rattle my garden gate (unless I’ve dropped my keys in my unsteady attempts to open it!)

What’s sauce for the drunken reveller should be sauce for the triumphalist sectarian.

How long must people suffer until something is done? Go back even to 2011 and we see the same problem, the same protests, from the same people.

Turn It Down! Ex VP Urges Volume Control for Noisy Indonesian Mosques 

But this, as we know, is Jakarta.

That’s oft been my reply when Indonesians ask me how come I’ve stayed in Jakarta for so many years.

If your previous location was somewhere in one of those chilly countries that border the shores of the North Atlantic, you’d be off yer rocker not to be happy here in this mostly hot and sunny city..

But now I read that Governor Ahok has hi-jacked my term of praise to pin-point just one small corner of the capital city he runs – NB, I mean he runs the city, not the specific place he mentioned! –  the Hotel Alexis’ 7th Floor, where there’s an institution hitherto unknown to yours truly, the Bath House Spa.

• I used Google Translate to interpret the article in Okezone.com, with hilarious results, and offer you some choice extracts.

..In the Hotel Alexis there’s the 7th floor… In the Alexis it is not Heaven at Mother’s feet, but Heaven on the 7th Floor,” Ahok said, at City Hall, Jakarta, Tuesday (16/02/2016)    http://news.okezone.com/read/2016/02/16/338/1313623/ahok-lantai-7-alexis-surga-dunia.

I am sure Ahok was talking tongue in cheek, for his outlook on certain matters has in the past indicated a very prudish mindset, as when he had a hissy fit about a teen bikini party in another hotel 

“No, they can’t hold a bikini party. They could get arrested. There’s a regulation governing that. You can wear bikini at Ancol [beach], as you swim….”

———————

  ”Outrageous” Activity in Jakarta Pools? OMG – BIKINIS! 

I’ve generally had nothing but praise for the Guv, but he does have a Victorian streak!

However, let’s look at the report.

00000000000000000000000000

Sex workers in the Hotel Alexis, said Ahok, originate from various countries. However, such imported strumpets are smart about covering their identity.

Strumpets!

What a splendidly old-fashioned word! But the man’s no doubt correct.

What amazes me though is why – when Indonesian women must rank as among the loveliest on Earth (don’t know about Heaven!) there’s any perceived need to import foreign chicks.

Yet the grass is always greener, so I guess local customers regard Slavonic gals as agreeably exotic!

I met a Russian lady in the late lamented Tanamur disco once.Let’s Re-Open TANAMUR, She was very charming, and appreciated my attempts to converse in her language.

‘Morozhenye,’ I said. ‘Ice Cream!’  

She laughed out loud, perhaps imagining I wanted her to engage in some outlandish use of that substance.

Alas, apart from ‘hello’ and ‘thanks,’ that’s about the limit of my Russian vocab. So we got no further than that!

The Okezone writer has a much more appealing range of vocabulary, or at least that’s how Google renders his words.

That’s in the Alexis, it seems –  but all over Jakarta…

…undeniably, during this time, many businesses satisfying lust are cloaked in various enterprises, such as massage parlors, karaoke parlors and nightclubs….with a varied fare, from hundreds of thousands to millions of rupiah.

Cikeusik Anniversary Looms, D-Day for Indonesian Innocents!

Metrotvnews.com reports that ‘officials in Bangka Belitung Province came to Ahmadiyah Indonesia Congregation (JAI) in Kampung Srimenanti. They reminded Ahmadis to get out on Friday…

————————-

…. it is a message of warning from Bangka’s Regent Tarmizi Saat, before the deadline on February 6 next.   http://sumatera.metrotvnews.com/read/2016/02/02/478470/warga-ahmadiyah-diperingatkan-cepat-angkat-kaki-dari-bangka

.=================

And what have those innocent villagers ever done to Tarmizi?

NOTHING

What have they done to any of their neighbours? Or to any other citizens of the province, or the country?

NOTHING…except be kind!

…tensions began when the Ahmadiyah community distributed beef to their neighbours during Idul Adha, a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide.  http://www.smh.com.au/world/minority-ahmadiyah-muslim-group-in-indonesia-told-convert-or-be-expelled

What have the Ahmadis done to anyone?

NOTHING! Except worship peacefully in the way their creed requires.

Which is all those Ahmadis in Cikeusik did, and let’s remember them today, what befell them five years ago, almost to the day, February 6th, 2011, a date that lives in infamy still, when a vicious mob of malignants descended…

• Sectarian swine at Cikeusik, revelling in hate  – nobody has EVER been charged with murder, despite a full video http://www.liveleak.com/view
• =====================

…and brutally beat three of them to death, as police stood back, armed police, who never fired a shot in defence of religious liberty.

Nor did the hate-freaks ever pay for their crimes.

Victim of Islamist Murder Mob Gets Six Months in the Slammer 

Yendra Budiana, the local Ahmadi spokesman, declared his little flock would not bow down to the bigotry personified by Tarmizi, whose self-confessed goal is to bully them into abandoning their faith – enforced apostasy.

BTW, I checked out Tarmizi’s party affiliation.

 Bin Laden fan Anis Matta, of PKS

———

PKS!

No surprise, since we know they’re the most fanatical Islamist party in Indonesia’s parliament. Their leader, till recently, was the notorious Anis Matta, infamous for his adulatory ode to mass-murdering terrorist Osama Bin Laden.    https://rossrightangle.wordpress.com/2011/07/06/brits-banned-michael-savage-but-let-in-top-jakarta-islamist-author-of-odious-ode-to-911-mass-murderer/

So how brave the Ahmadis of Bangka today.  

“We will not leave. We will not fight…” he said.  http://sumatera.metrotvnews.com/read/2016/02/02/478470/warga-ahmadiyah-diperingatkan-cepat-angkat-kaki-dari-bangka

Yendra remains hopeful Tarmizi will change his mind.

Changing one’s mind sadly depends on the person involved having a mind that’s capable of change, an interesting aspect, given that Regent Tarmizi’s ‘mind’ is steeped in Islamist ideology.

“To be deviant is not a problem as it would be at their own risk. Yet, they are misleading. It could corrupt the ummah’s beliefs,” he said.    http://en.tempo.co/read/news/2016/02/04/055742135/Bangka-Regent-Warns-Ahmadiyah-Members-to-Leave-Immediately

Hell, he’s not got a lot of confidence in the ummah’s allegiance to the dogmas he professes, has he, if he reckons things like a benevolent distribution of foodstuffs –  or is it the mere existence of honest, hard-working neighbours – can undermine their faith?

 President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo said that Indonesia practiced religious tolerance Jokowi calls for tolerance over extremism | The Jakarta Post

———–

But what of President Jokowi,who recently asserted his support for the pluralism embedded in Indonesia’s Constitution?

Yendra says Ahmadi representatives have been to see Jokowi’s officials. We wait and see, anxious lest the intolerance of the Regent’s regime in Bangka unleash another shameful episode like those we’ve seen, not just in Cikeusik but in Lombok…

In Squalid Internal Exile, Lombok Ahmadis Denied Voting Rights 

…and elsewhere too.

What’s required is a mass round-up of the backward brutes who have been intimidating them. You can see some of them – a mob of morons blocking the entrance to an Ahmadiyah house of worship – in this linked report from Tempo,which gives you more background ( in English)  – in it, Tarmizi brazenly denies he’s evicting them.  

We only ask them to leave peacefully due to safety and security reasons,” he said….According to him, Jemaat Ahmadiyah in Bangka has been a tyranny of the minority over the majority residents because they have made the community feel unsettled.

Poor wee things – how TERRIBLY unsettling, that scary proximity to people who worship God Almighty in ways only slightly different from their own.

• Since Indonesia has witnessed numerous dissenters sentenced to ‘rehabilitation’ (i.e. indoctrination) why not despatch the Regent and his entire Bangka bureaucratic/political establishment to some quiet place where they could be made to study Pancasila, the state ideology which mandates social justice and religious liberty.

They obviously have a lot to learn.

Ahok Welcomes Texan Lesbian Wannabe Censor To Jakarta!

The Mayor of Houston, Annise D.Parker, is scheduled to visit Indonesia from July 12 to July 15 in her efforts to strengthen cooperation between the Houston city administration in Texas, the US, and Jakarta and Bali provincial administrations.

The Houston mayor and her delegation is scheduled to meet Jakarta governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama at City Hall. on Monday. http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2015/07/12/houston-mayor-strengthen-ties-with-jakarta-bali.html

The JP regaled us with a fulsome report on this jolly ‘working holiday’ which included outings to all kinds of nice places.  “It is scheduled for the Houston mayor to enjoy the beauty of Ubud before she departs for Taiwan on Wednesday afternoon,” said Bali’s Governor! 

Good to know Houston’s such a prosperous city it can afford this sort of thing. 

But no mention at all of the militant lesbian’s shocking record of intolerance, her determination to impose gaystapo censorship on her city’s pastors. I wonder if Governor Ahok even knew about her fanatic pro-homo extremism.

•  Ahok

He is, after all, a notable champion of religious liberty here in Indonesia.  But his staff probably don’t run background checks for undesirable activities when an American mayor comes to call!

Fanatic Islamist Wails At Christian Governor – “He Calls People Names!” 

In contrast, the lesbian is notorious in the USA!

Only after an international uproar did the Mayor and the City Council back down from their demand that Houston pastors, priests, and rabbis submit their sermon texts to the government.

Now one has to ask why Indonesian leaders welcome this infamous intolerant?
