THE SITUATION IN AMBON / MOLUCCAS – Report No. 236
REGRETTING THE MALINO AGREEMENT – The Central Leading Board of the
Forum Komunikasi Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah at Yogyakarta gives permission to
copy (if needed partially) from their BLJ (Laskar Jihad Bulletin) 6th edition. So here we
go (translation of excerpts).
“… Since the first slaughter of Muslims on January 19, 1999, we have always been stuffed
with “reconciliation”. It is like somebody that has been beaten up, and while still
recovering from the impact, has to agree to the dictum “peace”, wrapped in the word
“reconciliation”. However, how apparently this “reconciliation” is just a camouflage of
the rotten intentions of the Christian revolutionists… To the Muslims in the Moluccas,
reconciliation means: voluntarily giving up their lives. Many times there have been
acts of reconciliation, but each time it was torn up by the Christians. Reconciliation
thus has become a stigma.
Surely, for the Muslims any reconciliation is hard. Anticipating any act of justice and
truth, and while the slaughterers are still freely roaming about, the word “peace” is
hardly acceptable. Before the inflicted injuries have healed, treachery upon treachery
is taking place… How strange it is that all parties can effectuate reconciliation. As if
by this reconciliation everlasting peace will be accomplished. They lay the roof for
protection, but are forgetting the foundation and pillars. As if everybody wants to
close his eyes, not caring about the carnage on that Idul Fitri day. They do not care
about the presence of the separatist FKM Movement, covering up the rottenness of
the church and those provocateurs that hide behind the “Word of God”.
It is too early to talk about reconciliation whilst one community is still traumatized
with this expression. Those delegates that convened are not sufficiently
representative to talk in the name of the people. This reconciliation even turns upside
down the Muslim ranks. One by one, those who used to be public figures, have been
trapped associating with the Christians and now have become people that are good
for nothing. Trash. The Muslims also experience filthiness from inside. Day by day
those who should lead the community, are renouncing their duties. Therefore, be not
appalled if the muslims grow in determination to reject any compromise, let alone
reconciliation…
The Christians endlessly protest against the presence of the Laskar Jihad Ahlus
Sunnah wal Jamaah, whereas these have done much to enhance morality among the
muslims in order to invigorate jihad spirit. The Muslims have proved their masculinity
by carrying out assaults during several months. However, these actions were
exclusively aimed at destroying the Christian separatists’ strongholds that
incessantly threatened the presence of Muslims… The Christians should be aware
that the revenging attacks of the Muslims, causing numerous casualties among the
Christians, were the result of what the Christian separatists had done to the Muslims,
previous to the event of January 19, 1999, in Wailete, Air Bak and Dobo. He that
sows wind, will reap tempest. That is how the situation of the Moluccas is now…
Any reconciliation that is agreed upon to please the Christians, is bound to wreck. So
what should be done instead? To put an end to the conflictd in the Moluccas, the
Government must detain and bring to justice the provocateurs that hide behind the
conflict. Look what they did in the Poso case. The champion of the conflict, Fabianus
Tibo, was caught and brought to justice publicly, witnessed by many… We do not
perceive any such proceedings in the Moluccas. Of course, if justice has to be done
in the Moluccas, the Muslims themselves must do it. In what way? There is no other
way than jihad fi sabilillah (the way of/to God)! This has been the teaching of the
forefathers of our nation when they opposed the Dutch Christians. Allahu’A’lam.
