Jihad at home

Jihad at home

From Media Indonesia

In the wake of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, that
destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center and the
Pentagon, followed by the U.S. government's retaliation by
bombing Afghanistan, here, in Indonesia anti-American
demonstrations and calls for jihad continue to spread. The calls
urge people to rally for jihad in Afghanistan and to boycott U.S.
products in Indonesia as well as to carry out sweeping on foreign
citizens.

These acts are orchestrated by some Muslim groups, communities
that uphold Islamic principles that teach us to think with our
conscience and to put aside emotions in taking actions.

Remember that we have witnessed many tragedies in our own
country. Many people still live in misery and poverty. That calls
for jihad!
