 Bali mourners were terror target -- 
You hurt us bombing Bali, well we can take the pain
But if you think you'll beat us you can think a-bloody-gain
We battled at Gallipoli and we fought the bloody Hun,
Of all the arseholes we've had to face you're just another one

You won't get your hands dirty, you won't fire a gun,
Whenever danger threatens you just pack your bags and run
You brainwash innocent children to do your evil deeds
Be careful you don't let them know just where it really leads

You get them to believe all of your bigotry and lying
Until they cannot see there's no glory in their dying.
Now, we'd like to pose a question, answer if you can,
Where does your holy book tell you to kill your fellow man?

Now listen hard and listen well, we're giving you the word
You're never going to beat us, you spineless bloody turd
You'd never face us personally, you haven't got the guts
You know that if you ever did, we'd have your bloody nuts.

Our spirit is unbroken, and our heads are still unbowed
We sure as hell aren't scared of you and of your gutless crowd
So... get your act together... you'll never win because
What you're really up against is The Spirit That Is Oz!

Bali didn't beat us, and we knew you'd try again
But once again, we're telling you we'll take the bloody pain
Your bombing killed some people and you think you've made a stand
Well, let me tell you something 'bout the people of my land

We went ashore on ANZAC day, near 90 years ago
Our people went to war with Turks who share your faith, you know.
Today, the Turks and us are friends because we understand
That killing for religion isn't something our God planned.

Be clear that we will fight you, and we will defeat your kind
If we need to, we will crush you and leave none of you behind
We are not the kind of people, who go 'round starting fights
But we'll help to finish them, and we will stand up for our rights

And we do not stand alone, there's Yanks and there is Brits
We stood with them, they'll stand with us, to wipe out all you shits
There's others too, of course, you've bitten off more than you'll chew
But we'll stuff it down your throats, and then we'll kick the crap from you.

We're not afraid of you, you see, no matter how you hope
We'll back down when the last of you is swinging from a rope
Or lying bleeding in a ditch, or shot down on a beach
If I were you, I'd start running - but there's nowhere we won't reach

You bombed our embassy, but you don't care who you killed
You're mad at us, but it's Indonesian graves that you have filled
You can't even kill properly, so you haven't got a prayer
And when you die, there will not be a paradise waiting there

It was said before, but you didn't learn, so I'll say it again
You cannot hope to beat us, because we will take the pain
You don't scare us, you mongrel dogs, you pigs, you unclean swine
Us Aussies still possess the spirit that was at Lone Pine

At Ypres, and then at the Somme, and at Villers Bretonneux
At Tobruk, and at Kokoda, and wherever enemies were
At Kapyong, and at Long Tan, and at places with no name
The Spirit That Is Oz has really always been the same

You're scum, you're filth, you're evil, and you are on borrowed time
If you want to be martyrs, then we will oblige you, slime
And we're not alone, remember that, we've stood up with our mates
And they will stand with us, as we send you to your fates

Key Bali Bombing Player Released In Indonesia

Indonesian authorities have released the cleric who gave his blessing to the bombings in Bali that took over 200 lives in 2002, mostly Australian tourists. Scores of Islamists greeted him enthusiastically at the gates as their spiritual leader:

Authorities released militant cleric Abu Bakar Bashir from prison on Wednesday, and about 150 of his supporters jubilantly greeted him with shouts of "God is great!"

The 68-year-old cleric, an alleged key leader of the al-Qaida-linked Southeast Asian militant group Jemaah Islamiyah, had served 26 months in prison for giving his blessing to the 2002 Bali nightclub bombings, which killed 202 people, most of them foreign tourists.

Bashir's supporters gathered at Jakarta's Cipinang prison for his release, which came about 45 minutes earlier than expected. "God is great!" they shouted.

Bashir has maintained his innocence of the charges, but an Indonesian court found him guilty of the crime. In a sentence that sent the message that Indonesia hasn't taken terrorism seriously, he received only thirty months for his part in the deaths of 202 people. Even worse, Indonesia then reduced the sentence almost by half, which has led to his release today.

If Indonesia thought that they could pacify the Islamist impulse through a show of mercy, they will find themselves very much mistaken. That is as true now as when they gave Bashir the unbelievably light sentence for one of the worst terrorist attacks in that region's history. This will be akin to waving a red flag in front of a bull, and we can expect the Islamists in Indonesia to build on this momentum.

Mass Murdering Islamist Cleric Freed by Indonesia

For his part in the mass murder of 202 people in Bali, Abu Bakar Bashir served 26 months in prison. And today he walked out a free man: Indonesia releases militant Islamic cleric.

JAKARTA, Indonesia - A militant cleric alleged to be a top leader in an al-Qaida linked terror group was released from prison Wednesday to cries of “God is great” from cheering supporters.

Abu Bakar Bashir, 68, had served 26 months for conspiracy in the 2002 Bali bombings, which killed 202 people and thrust Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, onto the front lines of the war on terror.

“I thank Allah that I am free today,” a smiling Bashir said after emerging from a scrum of about 150 supporters and journalists waiting outside the gates of Jakarta’s Cipinang prison. “I call on all Muslims to unite behind one goal, that is the implementation of Sharia law.”

Tell me again about how islam respects life and how Indonesia is one of those moderate islamic countries. American Media Asked To Dupe People, Destroy Islam, Says Expert
Isn't Malaysia one of those so-called moderate muslim states?

In a recent interview made by Scott Atran, the terrorist leader had this to say:

Scott Atran: What are the conditions for Islam to be strong?

Abu Bakar Bashir: The infidel country must be visited and spied upon. If we don't come to them, they will persecute Islam. They will prevent non-Muslims converting.
SA: What can the West, especially the US, do to make the world more peaceful?

"Dulmatin, JI's Top Technician, Trains a New Generation of Fighters"
By Zachary Abuza

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Of the known leadership of Jemaah Islamiya (JI) at large, there is no one with a higher price on his head than Joko Pitoyo (known as Dulmatin), who commands a US$10 million bounty offered by the United States. Dulmatin, a skilled technician, remains the most wanted of the Bali bombers, whose bombings of two nightclubs on the resort island killed 202 people in October 2002. Dulmatin is one of the most important al-Qaeda-trained operatives at large, and, of equal importance, he is one of the four top JI leaders known to have sought safe haven in the southern Philippines where JI is regrouping and training a new generation of fighters.

Dulmatin, an Indonesian native, was born in Central Java in 1970. Although he had only limited formal scientific schooling, he developed significant bomb-making and electronics skills. Dulmatin was a student activist on his Central Javanese university campus. Coming from a well-to-do family, he dropped out of the university after being drawn into extremist teachings at al-Mukmin, the religious boarding school established by JI founders Abdullah Sungkar and Abu Bakar Ba'asyir (also known as Abu Bakar Bashir). With his keenness for electronics, it was only natural that he developed an interest in making bombs, and he forged a natural affiliation with JI's top bomb-maker, Dr. Azahari bin Husin (killed in a raid by Indonesian authorities in October 2005), whom he saw as "a father figure." He was later trained in al-Qaeda camps in Afghanistan in the late-1990s.

As Azahari's protégé, Dulmatin was involved in constructing JI's first bombs in 2000, as well as the Bali and JW Marriott bombs. The indictment of other Bali bombers made clear that Dulmatin was involved in almost every stage of the attack, from the planning to the actual bomb-making. In a September 2002 meeting, Mukhlas (the supposed mastermind of the Bali attack) also gave Dulmatin 20 million rupiah ($1,300) for bomb components.

Dulmatin fled to Mindanao in the southern Philippines soon after the August 2003 bombing of the JW Marriott in Jakarta. There, he is one of four top JI leaders—including Umar Patek, Zulkifli bin Hir and possibly Abdul Rahman Ayub—who have continued to train members of JI and the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) in Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) camps in the Philippines."
