Islamic State claims Jakarta attack, targets Indonesia for first time JAKARTA

Islamic State said it was behind an attack by suicide bombers and gunmen in the heart of Jakarta on Thursday, the first time the radical group has targeted the world's most populous Muslim nation.

Just seven people were killed despite multiple blasts and a gunfight, and five of them were the attackers themselves, but the brazenness of their siege suggested a new brand of militancy in a country where low-level strikes on police are common.

It took security forces about three hours to end the attack near a Starbucks cafe and Sarinah's, Jakarta's oldest department store, after a team of militants traded gunfire with police and blew themselves up.

An Indonesian and a Canadian were killed in the attack. Twenty people, including an Algerian, Austrian, German and Dutchman, were wounded.

"A group of soldiers of the caliphate in Indonesia targeted a gathering from the crusader alliance that fights the Islamic State in Jakarta," the group said in a statement. It added that 15 people were killed.

Jakarta's police chief told reporters: "ISIS is behind this attack definitely," using a common acronym for Islamic State, and he named an Indonesian militant called Bahrun Naim as the man responsible for plotting it.

Police believe Naim is in the Syrian city of Raqqa.

The drama played out on the streets and on television screens, with at least six explosions and a gunfight in a movie theater. But the low death toll pointed to the involvement of local militants whose weapons were rudimentary, experts said.

In a sign of public unease, a bang caused by a tire bursting triggered a bomb scare that sent police cars rushing back to the scene hours after the attack.

"The president has said the nation and the people should not be scared and should not be defeated by acts of terror," said palace spokesman Ari Dwipayana.

Thanks to the proliferation of social media...ISIS/ISIL have gained an almost legendary status....they are a lightweight militant extremist group...fear them and they only grow stronger, or so they might hope. The Third Reich? Now...there was a TERRORIST organization that hopefully the world will never see the likes of again! I truly wonder how THEY would have played out on social media....just a few tens of millions killed....

My dear lady. We have to pray and ask the forgiveness of our Lord that these things should come to pass and over with. We have to direct our energy on the absolute end of these barbaric acts.

Condolence for the victims, but not the 5 suspects. Yeah, nowadays they will be claimed to have relations with IS.

But what about past incidents when IS was not even existed? What triggered them so? Tsk.

Your posts suggests ISIS/ISIL wins...they are so MINOR a militant group, yet you lend them credibility.

Many decades ago, before REAL terror gripped this planet and claimed millions of lives, some very prophetic words were uttered...

TheRedSquirrel87: I'm certainly tired of watching the endless middle class drudgery of this schism between two groups with little to no experience or social astuteness. To live with Muslims for even a little while would put an end to both the blank slate and the boot strap beliefs of the bourgeoisie.


That's what multiculturalism teaches an intelligent person about race and culture. Real face to face experience with other races teaches you that the races are clearly not all equal, but in addition it teaches you that they cannot be forced to be equal neither.

From my childhood days growing up in multi-ethnic stoke on trent I knew that the Arab Spring would fail. Now all the intellectuals from gilded society will say that democracy, liberalism and free markets are the way to go - but none of these will happen in the context.

Basically you cannot truly appreciate the imperfect conditions of the real world without coming from the bottom of society and if you don't understand the imperfect conditions then your perfect theories are apt to fail. Only people from a bubble could believe that the muslim world will westernise through either the ballot or the bullet.

Which isn't saying that equality doesn't exist, only that it is particular rather than universal. The White middle class more or less believe in equality because within their own group this belief works. They have "volkisch equality" and it's very particular and peculiar to the white middle class(and the few non-white pawns and uncle toms in their midst), however, the problem is that the white middle class don't know where they end and the rest of the world begins. They transplant their own "volkisch equality" onto the entire of humanity by assuming that there's no difference between homo sapiens and the white middle class.
