Rumahtiga to try and save the victims that had jumped into the water”. Thus the
official recount of what happened. However on December 13 local TV showed victims
in the hospital telling what had actually happened: indeed some speedboats with
muslims came to the site of the disaster, but not in order to save those that had
jumped off the hapless motorboat “California” into the sea. On the contrary they
stabbed those swimming in the water with knives and bayonets, lashed out at them
with anchors or turned their speedboats around in order to hit the victims with their
propellers.

LASKAR IBLIS BERDUSTA TENTANG MALUKU (04/12/01) #2021
Untuk menghemat ruang, istilah "laskar biadab beriman" saya gantikan dengan istilah
"laskar iblis"! Mereka "menistai bulan suci Ramadhan" tidak saja dengan "tindakan
barbar dan biadab", tetapi dengan "penyebaran dusta dan hasutan beracun"!
Walaupun seribu kali mengaku sebagai "laskar Islam", dan "anti maksiat", mereka
hanyalah "laskar iblis", "pelaku maksiat terbesar" saat ini, selain "penjarah,
perampok, pembunuh, dan penipu murahan"! Inilah sebagian dari penampakan
sifat-sifat iblis mereka, di Maluku! Perhatian: Artikel-artikel dari Joshua Latupatti berisi hal-hal

Indonesia: Laskar Jihad Call for [No] Respect for Ramadhan (03/12/01) #2015
November 30, 2001
Jubilee Campaign - http://www.jubileecampaign.org/
The Muslim community in Indonesia and throughout the world, including in America,
called for America to halt the bombing of the Taliban during the fasting month of
Ramadhan. The month of Ramadhan is supposed to be a time for peace and deep
reflection with Allah. Yet the citizens of Indonesia face a very different reality when it
comes to Ramadhan year after year. Despite the fact that there are many Muslims
who truly want to celebrate Ramadhan peacefully, Ramadhan in Indonesia is also
used as a time to terrorize people.

INDONESIA - In the first terrorist trial of the September 11 tragedy, the defense
attorney, Greg English, declined to represent his Indonesian client, Agus Budiman, for
the simple patriotic reason that he could not bring his conscience to defend someone
believed to have committed terrorism against his country. Based on several reports,
Budiman had known Mohammad Atta, the terrorist ringleader of the September 11
attacks, since the time that they were both in Hamburg, Germany. Budiman is
charged with illegal immigration status and providing false ID for Mohammad Atta.

The deaths of at least five Muslims and three Christians in the Central Sulawesi
district of Poso on Tuesday were absolutely needless and abhorrent, but probably
came as no surprise to some people. Chief political minister Susilo Bambang
Yudhoyono has in fact warned of an impending, even deadlier violence in Poso and
areas of Maluku in the coming days.

Indonesia - OCHA Consolidated Situation Report No. 52 (03/12/01) #2006
23 - 30 November 2001
MALUKU * There was a notable reduction of tension in the overall security situation in
Ambon and elsewhere in Maluku. The new barricades set up by the Christians on
roads in the city were removed soon after the end of the 3-day mourning period called
by the Christians last week.
NORTH MALUKU * A WHO and OCHA team (comprising national medical officers,
psychologists, and psychiatrists) carried out a field survey during a one-week mission
to Bacan, Kao, Malifut and Tobelo, to test a Rapid Mental Health Assessment Tool.
This tool was developed internationally to better understand the mental condition and
needs of communities and people affected by conflict. WHO will make the report
available for use by any interested organisation.

seven people and destroyed hundreds of houses this week. Complete and unbiased

KEMUNAFIKAN DALAM RAMADHAN (03/12/01) #2005
Saya mengerti bahwa "Ramadhan" adalah bulan yang dianggap sebagai "bulan suci",
"bulan berkah", "bulan ampunan", dan saya sudah sering menasihati teman-teman
Muslim saya, jika mereka hendak atau sudah melakukan seuatu yang salah!
Sekarang ini, saya terpaksa harus mengakui, bahwa walaupun "predikatnya tidak
berubah", Ramadhan lebih banyak menampakan "kemunafikan" manusia yang
seharusnya terbukti "lebih soleh" dari Muslim rata-rata! Perhatian: Artikel-artikel dari Joshua
