Death to Christian schoolgirls! Death for drug possession! 20 years for Islamic militants!

Filed under: Asia

If my calculations are correct, this could prove to become ever the popular chant among those in the Islamic militant community.

This story is in our news feed, but I found it so absolutely insane that I had to post it directly to the main page. The Jakarta Post reports that Islamic militants who were caught following the beheading of three Christian schoolgirls in 2005 have been sentenced to death... just kidding! They're getting 14 to 20 years in prison.
AKARTA (JP): Panel of judges in Central Jakarta District Court Wednesday sentenced Muslim militants between 14 and 20 years in prison for beheading Christian schoolgirls in Central Sulawesi's town of Poso in 2005.

Hasanuddin was found guilty for masterminding the beheading, buying the machetes and leaving a handwritten note at the scene vowing more killings to avenge the deaths of Muslims in an earlier conflict on Sulawesi island.

Judge Udar Siregar was quoted by Elshinta news radio as saying that Hasanuddin's action can be categorized as terror crime, which could spark fresh religious violence in the Central Sulawesi towns.

Meanwhile, two other conspirators Lilik Purnomo and Irwanto Irano were handed 14-year jail terms in a separated hearing.

Religious conflict in Poso had left at least 1,000 people dead from both Muslims and Christians from 1998 to 2002.
You've got to love Indonesia. Islamic militants who behead schoolgirls, paving the way for even more inter-religious carnage, get maybe 20 years in prison. Meanwhile, you may remember that an Australian women got the same sentence for trafficking drugs, though we can hardly know if they were planted on her person. Six other Aussia men are getting the death penalty on similar charges, in which the debate over their sentences is not even whether or not they will receive capital punishment (for they have been assured of that), but whether or not foreigners even are allowed to receive constitutional protection at all!

It makes you wonder. Is there a bias here?

Having lived in Indonesia, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia I can say that there are different ways of applying laws in these countries. If the crime is an Muslim against a non-Muslim the punishment is the minimum if any. The Muslim always seems to get off or have a reduced sentence on appeal. If a non-Muslim against a Muslim the punishment is the maximum. In crimes against the state like drug use the non-muslim gets max, Muslim gets a second or third chance.

Does anyone know who owns or what's the percentage of Arab/Muslim ownership in AP? Is there a source that lists such breakdowns of ownership?

Don't ever set foot in this 4th world hell-hole, Indonesia. Spit on the sidewalk: you get caned. Swear: caned. Drugs: life and possibly death. Why would anybody in their right mind spend their time and money patronizing these cretins? Thrills maybe? Perhaps you should try cliff diving?

Great, and terrifying, comments. How on earth could one begin to change a society like this?

I'm sick and tired of pretending that Indonesia should be regarded as a "moderate" Islamic nation. They are neither moderate nor, judging by the reduced sentences handed to so many of the Bali bombing thugs and this verdict, an ally in the War on Terror.

If this is Islamic moderation, then even moderation won't do.

That's severely warped, messed up, wrong and yet so typical. Somehow I'm not shocked. Shame they don't do the whole eye for an eye thing there.

Nice blog!

Such a noble mentality of superiority and culture. They allow savage men hiding behind scarves and masks to behead teenaged schoolgirls because they were only Christians.

If I was one of the Aussies held in Indonesia, I would simply "convert" to Islam. What better way to escape a death sentence in a country ruled by backward and ignorant thinking? Once you are a convert, they will likely think twice about killing you, and may even release you.

All you need is a good fake conversion, some court-recorded statements as such, and the promise to conduct Jihad in Australia if allowed to go free.

Of course, once you get back to Australia you renounce Islam and tell the Indonesians to go to hell. Naturally, you can't ever go back to Indonesia, and you will have to watch your back for a long time, but at least you are alive!

It's time we as Westerners started getting smart and used the Mu-slimes own complete ignorance against them. We all know that they will ALWAYS go easy on other Mu-slimes, and new converts (particularly from Western countries and ethnic groups.) are especially precious to them. Making fake conversions to Islam should be part of the play book for those captured by these backward dirt savages.
