Jihad in the Classroom

INDONESIA will continue to live with the threat of terror attacks unless its government cracks down on the militant Islamic schools and religious zealots who espouse worldwide jihad.

Last Friday's hotel bombings in Jakarta have focused attention yet again on a network of radical Islamic boarding schools across Indonesia that continues to espouse the cause of violent jihad and churn out eager young zealots willing to die in its name.

Four days after the bombings, investigators have linked them to two Islamic schools that are well known to the Indonesian authorities but have neither been shut down nor had their activities or teachings curtailed.

The first of these is the now notorious Al Mukmin pesantren (boarding house) at Ngruki in Solo, Central Java, where the Marriott suicide bomber is reported to have been schooled.

The second is a smaller school at Cilacap in Central Java, where a bomb identical to the hotel bombs used in Jakarta was found in July, and which is believed to have provided shelter to suspected mastermind Noordin Top.

A Muslim leader in Jakarta yesterday identified the man who detonated a backpack and case full of explosives inside the Marriott restaurant as Nur Hasbi, who is believed to have graduated from the Ngruki school in 1995. Thus the school continues to live up to its reputation as "a crucible for the formation of cadres of mujahidin", and its mission, "to nurture zeal for jihad so that love for jihad and martyrdom grow in the soul of the mujahidin", in the words of its co-founder, Jemaah Islamiah leader, Abu Bakar Bashir.

Who wants to bet these madrassas get text books and funding from our allies in the war on terror, the Saudis?

It was Muslim aggression that prompted the Crusades in the Middle Ages. Will their new found aggression of this generation push the Western World to a new Crusade before the radical Muslims get their hands on a bunch of nuclear weapons? Maybe the Israelis are on the right track calling for the prevention of nukes in Iran.

If the crazy suicidal Muslims become nuclear armed, no western city will be safe. How much time do we have before it is too late?

Will Obama help? No way. For all we know he could be secretly rooting for the success of the Muslim society he grew up with in Indonesia.

It’s a safe bet that we need a regime change here .... and fast. Or else all may be lost.
