Muslims must oppose terror, says Yudhoyono

NUSA DUA (Indonesia), May 12: Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono told a Friday congregation that Muslim nations should oppose terrorism and catch up with progress in the rest of the world.

Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, will be hosting a summit involving leaders of eight large Muslim countries on Saturday in Bali’s upmarket Nusa Dua tourist area.

The fifth summit of the Developing 8 group is aimed at finding ways to alleviate poverty in the member states through trade and other economic cooperation.

Mr Yudhoyono, who was speaking after Friday prayers at the venue, told the audience Muslim nations should build partnerships that could bring back the glory days in the first millennium when Muslims were at the forefront of scientific advancement.

“We are now in the third millennium. We have to work hard to rebuild our civilisation, the Islamic civilisation. That’s why we have to work together to build a strong partnership to fight for global justice, peace and prosperity,” Mr Yudhoyono said.

“We oppose — by our Islamic teachings — radicalism and, of course, terrorism. There are many ways for us to achieve our objectives for our Muslim world ... peacefully, skilfully and wisely,” said the ex-general, who rose to power in 2004.

Militants have been blamed for major terror attacks in Indonesia in recent years, including the 2002 Bali bar bombings that killed 202 people, and Indonesian authorities have prosecuted hundreds of those extremists.

Around 85 per cent of Indonesia’s 220 million population is Muslim. Many of them are against US policies in the Middle East and other Muslim countries like Iran, arguing Washington is bent on attacking Islam.

He'd receive a hero's welcome at American universities too.

Well, couldn't help think of islam's principle of Al-Takeyya on non-believers/infidels and it being a political movement masquerading as religion!

In other news, it was announced today that pedophiles are being urged to oppose child molestation.

How does an imperialistic political movement go about opposing terrorism? I don't get it.

Umh huh. Trojan horse comes to mind.

Just what are those "goals" you skill fully, wisely and peacefully desire?

I'm not buying it. Especially since you are still calling for a MUSLIM WORLD

More Islamic deception. Don't belive it for nano second. Jusrt another rouse.

Dashing thru the sand,
Christain head in hand.
Speaking words of peace,
the Jihad will not cease.

If they say they are going to obliterate Israel and replace our constitution with the quaran, then that is exactly what they plan to do.
They keep telling us this, yet we continue to brush it off and laugh.
They have infiltrated us, in fact the world. Their procedures work. They move to a country, raise families, acquire jobs in all sectors, live in all parts of the target country. They start to make demands based on their their religious beliefs (the quaran). Nativity scenes are offensive, require rooms and time for prayer, imposing their beliefs at the expense of others. Softening the target so to speak. By leveraging political ground gained at every turn. Subjugation in any means,some subtle, some not so subtle. Each appeasement is a victory for them.When their population reaches a critical mass they strike. They plan to do this with in our lifetimes.France may well already be lost. There is no such thing as a peaceful islamist, it simply means they have not been activated.
We must not continue to dismiss them in apathetic arrogance.
We should be prepared to bare arms.

Will it take an American Hiroshima to awaken the majority, to mobilize our masses against the Islamic quest of world domination?
Islam must be crushed. Islam must not be recognized as a religion any more than Nazism was. All Mosques should be declared delinquent of taxes owed retroactive from the day they were built. ANY gathering of Islamics should be PROSECUTED as CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MASS MURDER, found guilty and deported. Country by country, state by state, town by town, foot by foot, inch by inch, the Islamic cancer must be eradicated.



ACT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE:
Dear Representative:
As a registered voter and tax paying legal resident of the United States of America we urge you to provide us with your utmost commitment to providing the citizens of our nation protection of our rights, life, liberties, property, and our hallowed Constitution.

We are under attack by an ideology that demands our demise. We will not stand quiet in the eve of our destruction. And we certainly will not tolerate our elected representative to lead us to the slaughter.

We urge you to introduce a referendum on whether Islam is a religion, or an ideology.

The advantages and protections of tax-exempt status afforded to a religion should not be extended to an ideology determined to replace our Constitution with the Koran.

In spite of what the media reports, the American public is well aware that that the war on terrorism is in reality, our defensive efforts against the Islamic offensive. We are not being provided with the defense of both our rights and the sanctity of our Constitution as long as we allow the enemy to operate freely with in our borders.

Americans are concerned and are in extreme jeopardy and demand you perform your duties as both an American and elected representative.

In Earnest,

I think it is Ironic that this enclave was held in Non-Muslim Bali, rather than in predominantly Muslim Banjarmasin, Surabaya, or Makkassar. Hmmm.

Perhaps it should act as a reminder that Indonsia's civilization was NEVER Muslim. The introduction of Islam to Indonesia marked the end of civilization therre, except in a few places, like Bali. In the era Yudhoyono allludes to the nightmare had not yet descended on the archipelago.

Even I, an American, know that Indonesia was a Hindu/Buddhist civilization from at least the 1st right though to the 14th century.

Isn't that like asking prostitutes to oppose sex.

He doesn't get it.

Islam is terrorism.

A cursory glance at the Koran is sufficient evidence of this.

Yes, and everything of value that remains is a heritage of that era.

What a shame.
