JI founder condemns Ulu Tiram attack, says it’s against Islam By Alyaa Alhadjri

Malaysiakini : Jemaah Islamiyah (JI) founder Abu Bakar Bashir has urged Muslim youths to stay away from committing acts of violence and killings in the name of Islam. In a video his son Abdul Rahim Bashir sent to Malaysiakini, the senior cleric condemned the pre-dawn attack on the Ulu Tiram police station which was initially linked to JI.“I strongly condemn the act of a youth who killed two police officers in Malaysia.

Killing is not a part of Islamic teachings. “In Islam, when a situation arises, it is enough to defend the religion through dakwah and prayers, not killings or bombings,” Abu Bakar (above) said.

Yesterday, Rahim told Malaysiakini that his father, since returning to Indonesia, no longer has any ties to Madrasah Luqmanul Hakim in Ulu Tiram, Johor - built in 1993 as a private religious school and reported to be a gathering place for some of the region’s most wanted terrorists. 

In the video, Abu Bakar stressed he has no connection to the Ulu Tiram attack that saw two police officers killed and left one injured - before the 21-year-old suspect was shot dead. “I am in no way involved in the incident and I have no ties to it. “Whoever accuses me, tries to connect me with such acts, they are lying and I ask them to prove it in front of Allah.

PurpleDragon2199 : Don’t try to defend la...JI is filled with sins, everyone knows it and that’s the reason why your father went to jail.

AyuhMy : " Abu Bakar, in a 2005 interview with American-French anthropologist Scott Atran - published in The Jamestown Foundation’s “Spotlight on Terror” - had, among others, justified his call to wage jihad against “kafir harbi” or infidels seen as enemies of Islam. " Whoever that call for jihad against non muslims- May you rot in hell. God himself will send you there..!

For a Better World : This man , a religious teacher led or influenced and radicalised thousands of Muslims in South east asia who became extremists. And his followers made headlines the world over for the dreadful Bali Bombing where over 200 , mostly Australians died And the hotel bombings in.Jakarta. and other places Hambali , Lep and others were his ideological followers and presently still in Guantanamo.

They led a wave of indiscriminate bombings and killings of innocent men and women Now in his late age he talks of goodwill, peace , understanding and to get back into ordinary.life. Most Malaysians pray amd hope that the recent spate of "incidents" in the past ten days, is not a sign of any revivalism of religious extremism in the region But the Forces of Divine Nature ie Karma has to be faced , for all one"s misdeeds . The same could be said of Raisi , who died in a copter crash

Sealthedeal : How messed up does it get? Anwar supporting Hamas. A terror supporter gone soft. PAS instigating threats. Come down hard on Islamic extremism and hate speech or it will explode when the non Muslim population reach the tipping point.

Cakap tak serupa bikin : If killing is against Islam them why Anwar and Madani fully support hamas which kills civilians too? How about Hadi who calls for war against those who he says are against Islam? Isn't this major contradiction or is this just taqqiyah? Previously calling for war but now calling for peace. same holy book can do both?

JBond : But another wayward fellow from Marang is preaching hatred against NM. May be he is a family member of Abu Bakar Bashir following the logic of that apanama Mastura. He must be locked up before any violence breaks out.

apanama is back : “In Islam, when a situation arises, it is enough to defend the religion through dakwah and prayers, not killings or bombings,” said Abu Bakar. Abu Bakar, you also need to send the same video with above message to Ismail Haniyeh who is also close to Anwar Ibrahim.

Yes, now already old, SUDDENLY wisdom will comes in. During young time the above message will be the other way round. What a disgrace!

AyuhMy : " Jemaah Islamiyah founder Abu Bakar Baashir has urged Muslim youths to stay away from committing acts of violence and killings in the name of Islam. " What about your role in the bali bombings?

Why the change of heart? Is it because your time is comming up and you realised the folly of your ways? It's too late actually. You will have to answer your misdeeds dong..! Also take those you left behind in Ulu Tiram with you ya...
