Malaysia: Muslim cleric among 15 Muslims arrested for plotting jihad mass murder attacks for the Islamic State

…Malaysian authorities say they have foiled a plot involving at least 15 people, including a police officer and an airplane technician, who were allegedly attempting to obtain bombmaking materials and launch terrorist attacks in the Southeast Asian country.

Citing a statement from police on Thursday night, the Associated Press reports that 15 people suspected to be members of the Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) were arrested over three days beginning on Tuesday, the day of multiple bomb attacks in Brussels that have been claimed by the group.

Malaysia’s national police chief, Khalid Abu Bakar, said in the statement that the suspects — ages between 22 and 49 — include a mosque cleric, a student, the police officer and technician, and four women believed to be planning to travel to Syria to join ISIS.

The so-called "moderate" muslims are peaceful, so we've been told incessantly. Or is it? If they are, we just don't know which aren't. That's the problem. Perhaps, those western islamoloving infidels, who keep telling us islam is a religion of peace, might need to go teach the mosque cleric the true teaching of islam. They're the want who need to be taught, not us.

What faith do you think the people who arrested this cell were? How about Khalid Abu Bakar?

If we don't know, it's usually for the same reason that we don't know what coworkers are racist - they endeavor to keep it quiet in public until they are assured that they are in "safe" company.

Apples & oranges. It's a lot more than being racist. Unless your co-workers are devout followers of a death cult that insist on global destruction and mass murder of unbelievers, then there's no comparision.

I think racism and terrorism are on a bit different levels..

Being an Islamist =/= Being a Terrorist, or even a supporter of Terrorism.
