Pamphlets Protesting The Execution Of Amrozi And Friends Circulating Widely In Solo
01-11-2008
The objections over the execution of the Bali Bombers, Amrozi and friends, are
appearing again in some districts. In Solo, pamphlets protesting the execution
were widely circulating.
The pamphlets without the stamp or signature mentioned that Amrozi and friends
are Mujahideen who are conducting Jihad on Allaah’s name and not terrorists. The
pamphlets also warned the possibility of tribal, religious, racial or
inter-groups conflicts in Indonesia triggered by the execution of Amrozi and
friends.
The execution according to them is an act of MURTAD, KAFIR and LAKNAT as Amrozi
and friends are Mujahideen.
The pamphlets could be found in many Masjids in Solo. It might be that the
pamphlets were produced by the activists from the Masjids all over Solo, who
believed that the decision for the execution is an act of cruelty and that the
government were not being just to the Islamic ummah.
Hundreds of Muslims In Convoys
Through The Town Of Solo Protesting The Execution Of Amrozi and Friends
Hundreds of Muslims from a variety of backgrounds, societal organizations, and
mosque youths, today (31/10/08), were in convoys circulating peacefully the town

friends.
The protest began from Masjid Salamah and would end with a brief oration in
Bunderan Gladak which have been the centre for demonstration by the elements in
Solo.
According to one of the participants in the convoy, their protest was as an act
of solidarity and in defense of the Mujahideen like Amrozi, from the tyranny of
the government.
"My participation in this protest is as a form of my solidarity as well as my
effort in defending them (the Mujahideen) from the tyranny of the government who
have planned to execute the Mujahideen like Imam Samudera," thus Zaki, one of
the participants in the convoys told muslimdaily.net.
After the convoys ended, according to plan, they would continue their peaceful
procession heading towards Lamongan to receive the arrival of Amrozi and Mukhlas.
They would come in stages and in waves with cars and motorcycles.
"After the convoys ended, we would continue towards Lamongan after the ‘asr
prayer," one of the participants said.
Abu Bakar Ba'asyir Rejects The
Execution Of Amrozi and Friends
The objections over the execution of the three prosecuted Bali Bombing 1 case,
Amrozi and friends, are reappearing in some districts, amongst them is Solo. In
a statemet today after the Friday prayer, 31st November 08, Abu Bakar Ba'asyir,
as the Amir of Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid (JAT), announced his objection over the
execution of Amrozi and friends this early November.
In a press release he gave in Masjid Salamah Solo, Jamaah Ansharut Tauhid, the
organization led by Abu Bakar Ba'asyir gave out five messages and statements
relating to the execution of Amrozi and friends.
Abu Bakar Ba'asyir believed that the execution that will be carried out by the
government is a cruel decision. According to him the decision is contradictory
to Allah's law and are not based on facts.
"The decision is in violation of the basic principles of the acts, article 28
(1) UUD 1945 and article 1 KUHP" he added.
Abu Bakar Ba'asyir also called for the government to find the masterminds of the
acts of violence (including mosque bombings) in Moluccus Islands, Ambon, Lampung,
Tanjung Priok, as well as Poso which slaughtered much more victims than the Bali
Bombing, to be equally executed. But predictably those massacres of the Muslims
instigated by the Christians of course did not get much international media
coverage. And as it appeared the Christian instigators of those massacres were
given protection and asylum by America!
