There's no place like home

The Indonesian authorities have released from custody someone's who's lovingly described as a "Muslim militant." His name is Abdul Wahid Kadungga and he's suspected of having links with Al Qaeda and of being involved in recent terrorist attacks in Indonesia. He's on good terms with various Islamofascists in Indonesia, including Abu Bakar Bashir, the leader of the Jemaah Islamiah terrorist organization. According to the report:

According to a report by the International Crisis Group (ICG), Kadungga assisted Bashir in 1985 when Bashir fled Indonesia for Malaysia.

ICG said Kadungga "is believed to have had direct communication with al-Qaeda through his ties to the Egyptian-led Gama Islami".

The Gama Islami is a core group of Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda network, according to ICG.

The research organisation said Kadungga is also associated with the Makassar-based Committee for Upholding Islamic Law.

He denies being involved in terrorism, of course. It's so good of the Indonesians to believe him like that. But since his arrest and release, Kadungga has developed a sudden yearning for his adopted homeland, the Netherlands. He obtained political asylum here in 1985 and became a Dutch citizen in 1991. The Dutch daily Parool reports how Kadungga gushes that "the Netherlands is democracy number one." Translated from Islamofascistese this means that the Netherlands is a good basis from which he can operated unhindered. It's touching to see how well he's assimilated into Dutch society and embraced the values of tolerance, freedom and democracy. A shining example of the success of our multicultural society.

Parool also reports that he's a big admirer of Osama Bin Laden's: "He's fantastic, one of a kind." Actually, he's not. He's more one of those kinds who've been pulverized by a daisy cutter. I'd be more than happy for Kadungga to join his hero in this rarefied status.

Kadungga's activities from his Dutch base have focused on supporting the Islamofascists' armed struggle. He says, "I'm an international activist. I travel from Europe to the Middle East and to Asia. I establish contacts with Islamic fighters everywhere. I dream of an Islamic empire."

I dream of the day he meets the daisy cutter on one of his missions in the Middle East.
