AKARTA: The Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) asked police Tuesday totrack down the persons who had uploaded a sermon by the late Noordin M.Top that called for Muslims to wage jihad against “the enemies ofIslam” to a Facebook account.
“It’s the state’s obligation to find who put the sermons online,” MUI chief Amidhan said as quoted by detik.com.
Once the most-wanted terror suspect in Southeast Asia, the Malaysian-born Noordin was shot dead in a police raid in Surakarta, Central Java, last year.
The MUI has issued an edict making terrorism haram.
“The call for a jihad war is against the edict and we appeal to the public to ignore the sermon,” he said.
In his recorded sermon, Noordin says that anyone who dies in the name of Islam will go straight to heaven, where they will be served fine drinks and food and receive beautiful women. — JP
