SERANG - The leader of the Islamic boarding school in Ngruki, Abu Bakar Bashir, was almost forced to leave a village near the city of Serang in West Java early this morning. Some fifty residents of Kaujon village visited the residence of Mamah Suhaemi, a former leader of the Mujahidin Council of Indonesia, where Bashir spent the night.
When the villagers arrived at the home, Bashir was told to stay inside the house for the time of his visit in the village. Bashir reacted surprised as he always is, forgetting that most Indonesia Muslems don't like radical thinking idiots like himself. He asked them why he was not accepted in this village, because he only visited to meet his friend and lead the prayer. He added that he was not a terrorist.
Still, the residents did not want Bashir to be walking around in their village, and it almost ended up in a brawl with one of the guards of Bashir. One of the guards of Bashir is a member of the city council of Serang, Lukman Hakim. Eventually the situation cooled down after Bashir told that he would return home as soon as the prayers had ended.
A spokesperson of Bashir said the almost-conflict was caused by a misunderstanding. People in the village received word that a terrorist was visiting their village. But this argument is not a real good one, since the face of Bashir is known throughout Indonesia. So it is very clear that the residents refused him because of what he is and what he stands for, and nothing else. In recent months, there have been several incidents in which bodies of terrorists were refused on local graveyards for example.
Bashir has been in jail for his involvement in the Bali terrorist attacks of 2002 and 2005, but was eventually acquitted of all charges and was eventually released. His Islamic boarding school in Ngruki has spawned a number of terrorists, of which many of them have been killed by anti-terrorist police Densus 88 in recent months. Others are still on the run.
