Indonesia, Obama’s adopted ‘homeland’, is an Islamic terror state. It’s “moderate” enough to put on a show. But like most “moderate” Islamic states, the show doesn’t go on for very long.
After the 2002 Bali bombings carried out by Islamic terrorists linked to Al Qaeda killed over 100 non-Muslims, including 88 Australians, 7 Americans, 23 Brits and many others, Indonesia put on a show to reassure tourists.
On Wednesday, the man who crafted the bombs that killed Mr Csabi’s friends and left him a double amputee was freed from an Indonesian prison.
Indonesia says Umar Patek has been deradicalised, but his parole has sparked anger – particularly in Australia, where 88 victims were from.
Some 202 people from 21 nations were killed in the blasts on 12 October that year. It remains Indonesia’s deadliest terror attack.
Patek was accused of being a bombmaker for Jemaah Islamiah (JI) – a group inspired by al-Qaeda – and spent almost a decade on the run.
He was jailed for 20 years in 2012, serving just over half of his initial sentence.
20 years for mass murder on this scale is a joke.
Indonesia sentences drug dealers to death by firing squad. It sentenced one Australian woman to 20 years in prison for drug smuggling.
But of course the Jihadi only served 10 years in prison.
Indonesian authorities say he no longer poses a threat and is eligible for release after a series of sentence reductions for good behaviour.
Arguably, this is no different than what the Biden administration is doing with Al Qaeda terrorists in Gitmo.
Jan Laczynski, an Australian who lost five friends in the bombings, said he was among those shocked and angry.
“This guy gets his life back again. For a lot of us we’ll never get our lives back again,” he told the BBC on Thursday.
“It’s appalling. It’s dreadful. It’s wrong.”
He described it as “another kick in the guts” after last year’s release of Abu Bakar Ba’asyir – the alleged mastermind of the attacks – who had served a sentence unrelated to the bombings.

But, frankly, this is a reminder that vacationing in countries where Islamic terrorism is a way of life and a sacred act is a bad idea. Tourists keep coming back to Bali. They go to North Africa and to Middle Eastern countries and then act surprised when they’re killed, taken hostage, raped or locked up on false charges.
The moral of the story here is don’t travel to Indonesia. It’s an enemy state whose system is partly based on Sharia law.
No matter how often you’ve gone or your friends have gone, you’re not safe there. And visiting Indonesia, Turkey, Jordan, etc is financing Islamic terrorism. It will end badly. For someone.
It does help that Australia’s government is as impotent and worthless as our own.
Australian Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen told breakfast show Sunrise on Thursday he was “horrified” by Umar’s release.
“This is a terrible man who does terrible things not only to Australians but to Indonesians as well,” Bowen said, as cited by news.com.au.
“We do understand Indonesia’s legal system is different to ours and we have to respect that, but at the same time we have to make strong representations to the Indonesian government to ensure all the necessary protections and monitoring are in place.”
Go make some “strong representations” to the regime that just released the mass murder of 88 of your people.
Indonesia maintained Umar’s release was in accordance with the country’s legal system
I’m sure it was. I’m only surprised that the terrorist state hasn’t provided him with 72 virgins.
Indonesia hosted a climate change conference attended by the world elites who flew there in their private jets to be met by islamic dictators.
They are clearly an innocent country whose aims are to simply save the planet.
How dare you criticize them.
well you would say that being as you are one of the cursed barbarian Mohamidans wouldnt you Mo. Over 100 people dead of all religions and nationalities and the bomb maker treated like a hero in prison who should have been executed. That damned koran says kill the unbelievers so you followers want us all dead isnt that true Mo, but only after you have stole from us and enslaved us, isnt that right
You have things seriously wrong.
Yeah, Mo posted a fine piece of sarcasm, so good that someone fell for it. I used to do that sometimes, so now I try to watch it carefully and make sure most people will see it for sarcasm.
A couple times fairly recently I posted agreements with posters and even authors here that they took as sarcasm and reacted violently. I think they still hate me 🙂
Well, I don’t hate you. I am fighting with my girlfriend right now, though.
I don’t know why women love conflict so much but they do.
Thanks Daniel! Great article. I followed that story for a long time. I remember the prison guards treated him like a hero or something.
Yeah, Indonesia has its bad points.
Hot chicks, though.
“From now on,” he said, “we must follow a new line of action. It is best to attempt no large reorganization until I am freed, which may be a matter of months rather than of years.”
“Oh, yes,” he continued, “I am not going to stay here much longer. When I resume active work it will be necessary to pursue a new policy. Instead of working to achieve power by an armed coup, we shall have to hold our noses and enter the Reichstag against the Catholic and Marxist deputies. If outvoting them takes longer than outshooting them, at least the results will be guaranteed by their own constitution!

If faith and religion is a country’s dominant philosophy this is what you get. Some religions, today, are more rational than others. And some religious moral points are very valuable moral points, although those moral teachings are grounded in faith and not reason.
But the crucial issue is what is reality, what are the facts of reality, and how do we know it and prove it? In other words what is the rational and what is the irrational, and which alternative will a society choose?
“When faith and reason clash, it is up to the religious people to decide how they choose to reconcile the conflict. As far as I am concerned, I have no terms of communication and no means to deal with people, except through reason.” – Ayn Rand
I lived in Indonesia when the Bali bombing happened. The Christmas bombings too. That country isn’t as bad as you think it is
America is much more violent. We have blacks here.
Jeff – the main difference is in perception. The crazies in BLM ( plus all its wingbats ) tend to be very loud and in your face, whereas most islamist states tend to prefer quiet, stealthy style assassinations/murders.
Call it sneaky if you will – but it’s true ( I also have lived & worked in islamic lands up to a decade ago – my passport retired with me – Home is MY bit of Heaven – I never want to travel again, but will defend to the bitter end MY bit of Paradise ! )
Yeah, well I’m glad you have a nice place to retire. I wish I did.
But hey, some day.
Can’t you just stay in your apartment indefinitely?
The main thing when older is to be near a hospital in case of need.
Yeah, that’s true but I miss my money. My ex wife took it all.
East Timor ran with Christian blood.
Indonesia committed crimes against humanity to advance the interests of the civilization that has inspired such depravity for fourteen centuries.
Doing nothing would seem to guarantee more of the same. What might be considered is whacking the monster. Given that he deserves it and the deterance value, not whacking him would seem a dereliction of duty.
Life is cheap in Islam. They seem to prefer it that way.
Yeah, Timor Timor had some bad problems caused by the scummy Indonesian government but most Indonesians are decent people. They’re not so different from us on the inside.
Shit, I’m still friends with my Indonesian ex girlfriend 25 years after dumping her and running away to another island with a slut-pig-dog-whore I married. She has more integrity than I do.
Regarding your query about the assigning of 72 Virgins to properly corrected islamic terrorists – I have it from a very reliable semi-islamic informant source that “They have run completely out of virgins – henceforth the “Reward” will be 50 Goats / Camels / Sheep – in that order dependant on availability 😉
Looking at some moslem women, I’d rather have the 50 goats/camels/sheep. Have you seen Rashida Tlaib? Nasty.
I did have a Psuedostinian chick from Tel Aviv once, though. She was pretty hot. She was a good hairdresser, too.
The parasitic muslim will always stand with criminal muslims.
