Indonesia: Islamic Caliphate to attract 100,000
Adnkronos International ^ | 12 August

Posted on 08/12/2007 9:21:03 AM PDT by george76

More than 100,000 people are expected to attend the world's largest Islamic Caliphate conference to be held in Jakarta on Sunday.

According to Hizb ut-Tahrir, the pan-Islamist political party staging the conference, people will come from all over the world to hear speakers from England, Australia, Palestine, Japan and the Sudan.

Abu Bakar Bashir, the controversial leader of Indonesia's Mujahiddin Council, who is committed to transforming Indonesia into an Islamic state will address the conference.

He is the alleged spiritual leader of Jemaah Islamiyah jailed for his role in the 2002 Bali bombings. Considered by many to be the mastermind of the attacks which killed 202 people, Bashir was found guilty of conspiracy, and sentenced to two and a half years imprisonment.

But not all the Indonesian speakers support the concept of a Caliphate like Hasyim Muzadi, the president of the Indonesian cultural organisation Nadhlatul Ulama, which has an estimated 40 million members.

Founded in Lebanon in 1905, Hisb ut-Tahrir is committed to uniting all Muslim countries in a single Islamic state or Caliphate led by a single, elected head of state.

The organisation promotes Shariah law and is openly anti-Zionist supporting the dismantling of Israel.

It has spread its message to more than 40 countries and claims to have more than a million members.

Indonesian Muslim youth from the hard-line Islamic group Hizbut Tahrir wave black and white flags with the religious writing that reads 'There is no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet' during International Caliphate Conference 2007 in Jakarta, Sunday, Aug 12, 2007. Nearly 90,000 followers of a hard-line Muslim group packed a stadium in the capital Sunday, calling for the creation of an Islamic state and thunderously chanting 'Allah is great!.'

If we had the stones, there would never have been a caliphate to begin with.

The Army Of Black Flags

The Mahdi’s ascendancy to power is said to be preceded by an army from the east who will be carrying black flags or banners of war. Sheikh Kabbani states:

Hadith indicate that black flags coming from the area of Khorasan will signify the appearance of the Mahdi is nigh. Khorasan is in todays Iran, and some scholars have said that this hadith means when the black flags appear from Central Asia, i.e. in the direction of Khorasan, then the appearance of the Mahdi is imminent. 17

Another tradition states that:

The Messenger of Allah said: The black banners will come from the East and their hearts will be as firm as iron. Whoever hears of them should join them and give allegiance, even if it means crawling across snow. 18

In Islam there are two flags. One is white and one is black. Written across both flags in Arabic are the words, “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger”. The white flag is called Al-Liwaa and serves as the sign for the leader of the Muslim army and is the flag of the Islamic State. The black flag is called Ar-Raya and is used by the Muslim army. It is also called the flag of jihad, and is carried into battle. One flag is governmental and the other is a military flag. 19 When Muhammad returned to his home city of Mecca after being exiled for eight years, he returned as a conqueror. With him were ten thousand Muslim soldiers. They carried with them black flags. On the flags was one word written in Arabic: punishment. 20

I was once talking to a group of young Muslim men and asking them some questions. I asked them if the obvious superior militaries of America and Israel compared to the militaries of any Islamic nations were a source of difficulty for many Muslims. One of these men then became very angry at my question and snapped out, “You Americans and Zionists better get ready, because the black flags are coming!” At the time, I had no idea what he was talking about. Later I learned the meaning.

100000 is bad enough. We should bomb them all at once. Should have done the same with the Holocaust denial conference in Tehran.

Just reading this and the comments too...

Wondering ...

How a whole world can be in such psychological denial as to the goals of islam? Have we become so ‘civilized’ (read PC), as we cannot see the danger in front of us, around us, and in pursuit of us?

They speak openly of the overthrow of the Western way of life, they actively plot and game. Yet we are blinded by ...what? We can see their success in varying states amongst the once free peoples and yet we deny their actions as groups and motivated individuals?

The liberals in the media and the DUmmies in Congress and at KOS...are in total denial.

They are so full of hate that they are blind. Some even hope that we lose this global war.

Then liberal women would lose their right to vote, go to school, drive a car, hold a job...

Thanks George - Bung Karno Stadium was completely packed - this was a really big one -- I couldn't make it but am with people who just returned earlier - and I'm working on my post now - need a couple hours at most.

This was something that has been growing very fast in the last few months - where even our government has not taken notice -

I posted about this movement back in May in the following --

Challenges Ahead For Cameron Hume

I was really taken aback by Cameron Hume's testimony before the Senate - there is a link on my blog to the testimony

Some of Indonesian reports I translated are downright frightening -
