If the West wants to have peace, then they have to accept Islamic rule.
Abu Bakar Bashir

The only model to follow is pure Islam.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
Islam is fixed, stable, ordered and disciplined, and so are Muslims.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
If my children do not behave according to Islam, if they do not pray for instance, I will punish them.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
But the West is trying to weaken Islam from outside and inside. They attack our people and invade our countries from outside, and they weaken us from within with ideas like secularism, liberalism and democracy. This is all designed to contaminate our pure Islam.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
You are right, but the weakness does not come from the millions of Muslims in the world. They do not mind being radical, they have no fear to speak out and to protest and to jihad.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
We should be proud that our Prophet came into the world with the message of Islam to change it for the better, and not for the worse, or to keep things as they are.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
But the leaders of the OIC could not even accept Mahathir's proposal, yet they talk about respect and honour.

What use is revelation or religion if it doesnt change anything?
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
We swear by the Quran and Sunnah, and we will not compromise with any infidel... Islam is the truth and all else is falsehood.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
Look at the Afghans, during the time of the Soviet invasion. They were among the poorest Muslims in the world, yet they were sustained by their faith in God, and God alone.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
Laws are to be enforced justly but firmly, with an iron hand. This is the case anywhere, even in a family.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
Today the Western powers and media want to domesticate us like sheep, to keep us tame and domesticated.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
So we want an Islamic state where Islamic law is not just in the books but enforced, and enforced with determination. There is no space and no room for democratic consultation. The Shariah is set and fixed, so why do we need to discuss it anymore? Just implement it!
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
Islam's laws are fixed and that is why Islam is stable.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
Islam is perfect, there is nothing to be added or changed.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
Arab leaders worry more about making money from the profits they get from oil and gas that they turn the other way when Lebanon is being destroyed right next to them. Their neighbours are being murdered, but they only make calculations for their own benefit.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
The Muslim leaders swallow the advice of the Western powers and bodies like the IMF and World Bank, even when it is bad for their countries and they know this.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
But the weakness comes from these Westernised co-opted Muslim leaders who just want to look good in the eyes of the West and Western media.
