ISLAMIC cleric Abu Bakar Bashir has returned to his hardline rhetoric with a call for followers to beat up Western tourists and for young Muslims to die as martyrs.
In the sermon, organised by an Islamic youth organisation and delivered a few kilometres from the home village of convicted Bali bombers Amrozi and Mukhlas, Bashir likened tourists in Bali to "worms, snakes, maggots", and specifically referred to the immorality of Australian infidels.
The address was caught on video by an Australian university student.
"The youth movement here must aspire to a martyrdom death," said the cleric, who was convicted of conspiracy over the 2002 Bali bombings that killed 202 people, including 88 Australians, but was later cleared and released from prison.
"The young must be first at the front line - don't hide at the back. You must be at the front, die as martyrs and all your sins will be forgiven. This is how to achieve forgiveness."

"The young must be first at the front line"
We certainly wouldn't want call for old, jackass imams to be in the front line would we Abu?
"The young must be first at the front line - don't hide at the back. You must be at the front, die as martyrs..."
Old man's war, young man's fight. The history of the world.
Encik Bashir,
You do realize Bali relies a lot of Western tourism right? And besides, who will raise the children and cultivate the land if all young men are dead?
Assholes like you make Southeast Asia unsafe.
"ISLAMIC cleric Abu Bakar Bashir has returned to his hardline rhetoric with a call for followers to beat up Western tourists and for young Muslims to die as martyrs."
Funny how they always want someone else to martyr themselves. If it's such a wonderful thing to do, why don't you goofy fuckers calling for it get to the head of the line?

You first asshole. You first.
What the hell did the Australians do to anyone?
And, yeah, get the young people who don't really know any better to go kill themselves. It's harder to get the older peeps into it, since they'd think about it more.
Blood for the Blood God! Skulls for the Skull Throne!
Also, evil clerics are people too stupid to realise that spontaneous cure spells are better than spontaneous inflict spells.
If he's a cleric, he should be strapping on the plate mail and whacking at kobolds with a mace.
Do it enough times, Abu, and you'll get to 2nd level!
EDIT: Dammit, Fanatic-Templar beat me to it!
Somebody ought to just kill this guy, really.
Just take him out. You spew venom like a cancerous pustule, and you get removed from the body.
We remove tumors, so why don't we remove people that tenaciously pursue means of encouraging senseless violence?
It may sound hypocritical, but if the guy is just killed in a way that doesnt arouse suspicion, BINGO.
Right! You first, then, you unforgivably evil swine.
EDIT: Everyone else beat me to the valid points, so I'll just add -- how exactly is bombing a nightclub going to make a martyr of some poor dope? What, did they come at him with a glowstick?

Do as I say, not as I do.

You're asking for it are you??? Australia is tolerant of others (and granted we are kind of are infidels... we are one of the countries that are the least religious...) and most of us have a open heart... however keep speaking like that and see first hand what ASIO and our people can do..^_^
"The address was caught on video by an Australian university student."
kinda feel sorry for the student that was there... poor person
"and for young Muslims to die as martyrs."
Shouldn't old Muslims be the preferred to die as martyrs? I mean if the members die before they reproduce, the religion won't survive long, especially considering its hard to convert someone that wasn't born and brainwashed into Muslim to begin with.
"Encik Bashir,

They don't care about an island of 98% Hindus. Of course the whole of Indonesia relies on Bali income, but poverty is what these guys thrive on.
I would pay money to see some Java boy trying to beat up my 6'3 husband though. The 2002 bombings didn't scare us off and neither will this.
"Don't worry, my sons, if you die. I will live to see another day, when I can bone my wives like the Ron Jeremy to make MORE martyrs for my cause!"

Fanatic-Templar, Lesser Vigor, in wand form, practically obsoleted cure spells, and close wounds is better then cure moderate. Besides, negative energy gives you the ability to control undead!
That's why he wants them to blow themselves up! To bolster his zombie army!
"Hm. #1 place to NOT go on vacation. Check.
No tourist money into the economy for you! :P"
Like I said, the Balinese are not muslims, they're peace loving Hindus. I was there for the 02 bombings and the distraught faces of the population were unbearable. These people are not eating because others on other islands are actively trying to ruin the tourist industry. Stopping to go there is only aiding the opressor.

This way, my old friends and I can marry all the young girls the dead boys leave behind."
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
