No, Malaysian Foreign Minister
Syed Hamid Albar is not an Arab, and neither is Indonesian Cleric
Abu Bakar Bashir.
Abu Bakar Bashir is not calling for arms to be shipped to
Hezbollah, but is calling for all Muslims to join in a Jihad to
fight the Israelis.
This is the new Facist of the
Twenty-First Century, who utilise an ancient religion to achieve
their personal political ambitions to rule an empire across the
continent.
They will ignore and perpetuate intolerance to all other
civilisations that are older then theirs.

Bashir calls for jihad against
Israel
From correspondents in Jakarta

THOUSANDS of Indonesians held street rallies today to condemn
Israel's offensive in the Middle East as hardline cleric Abu Bakar
Bashir called for a "jihad" force to battle the Jewish state.
In Jakarta, the capital of the world's most populous Muslim nation,
more than 3000 people protested outside the UN mission over its
failure to halt the violence.
"So far, there are no signs that the United Nations is acting
justly as an international institution," Muslim leader Dien
Syamsuddin told the crowd.
"We press the Indonesian Government to mobilise solidarity among
peace-loving nations in the world to pressure the United Nations to
halt the Israeli aggression.
"If the United Nations does nothing because it is influenced by the
superpower, America, we call on the government of Indonesia to
initiate a vote of non-confidence against the United Nations," said
Mr Syamsuddin, who is a deputy chairman of Muhammadiyah,
Indonesia's second largest Islamic movement.
The demonstrators had gathered earlier for an inter-religious rally
and later marched to the US embassy. The heads of various religions
Islam, Roman Catholicism, Protestants and Buddhists led the
protest.
"Give a Chance to Peace" and Save Children, No War," some of the
banners read.
The crowd dubbed Israel "the aggressor" and the US
"terrorist".
"Israel should be taken to the International Court of Justice
because it has killed a lot of children and women," said a deputy
chairman of the Indonesian Council of Ulema, Amidhan.
One group displayed a poster reading "Condemn the sadistical and
inhuman actions of Israel, USA and the mayor of west
Jakarta".
They were victims of evictions ordered by the mayor.
Bashir, speaking at mass prayers in support of Lebanon and
Palestine, called on the Government to let Indonesians join the
fight against Israel.
Bashir told some 1000 people in the Central Java town of Pekalongan
that Jakarta should try to mobilise a mujahideen force from member
countries of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference.
"If it cannot ... at least open the door for citizens who want to
engage in jihad (holy war) there," he said.
Bashir was sentenced to 30 months for his role in a "sinister
conspiracy" that led to the 2002 Bali bombings, which left 202
people dead, including 88 Australians. He was released from prison
in June.
Yesterday a group called the Asian Muslim Youth Movement said it
was prepared to send hardliners to attack Jewish interests in
countries that back Israel.
In Indonesia's second largest city, Surabaya, around 1500 Muslims
held a protest march, El Shinta radio reported. In the city of
Yogyakarta, it said, about 3000 people joined protests.
A similar protest involving hundreds of people took place in
Medan.
