[b]Convert, or go to hell, Bashir tells Aussie PM

SOLO Firebrand Indonesian cleric Abu Bakar Bashir, 68, who served
time for his role in the 2002 Bali bombings that killed over 200
people, reportedly called Islamic extremists "misguided" holy
warriors, as Australia's Prime Minister yesterday called for the
cleric to be monitored.
.
Bashir, who was released on Wednesday from a prison in Jakarta at
the end of a nearly 26-month term, also said that Mr Howard should
convert to Islam if he wants to avoid going to hell.
.
When asked by reporters if he had a message for the Australian
leader, he said: "If he wants to be saved from hell, he needs to
convert to Islam and God willing, he will be forgiven by Allah."

.
The cleric also warned Australia not to fight against Muslims.
"Maybe with God's permission they can kill us, but they certainly
can't beat Islam.

toilet bowl in return
