More quotes by 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
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
They are scared that the BBC or CNN may call them radicals, so they remain soft instead. The problem lies there, with the Muslim leaders, not the Muslim masses.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
But the leaders of the OIC could not even accept Mahathir's proposal, yet they talk about respect and honour.
Abu Bakar Bashir

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.

If my children do not behave according to Islam, if they do not pray for instance, I will punish them.
Abu Bakar Bashir

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

Islam's laws are fixed and that is why Islam is stable.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
The Afghans did not have sophisticated weapons like the Soviets did, but with their faith they defeated a superpower.

Jihad should be waged in places where there is war. Bombings in places where there is no war is not a good thing.
Abu Bakar Bashir

What use is revelation or religion if it doesnt change anything?
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
We have shown that Islam can rule the world perfectly for 14 centuries, and during this time of Muslim power we did not borrow ideas like democracy from others, so why do we need to learn democracy from them now?
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
The Prophet defeated the enemies of Islam even when he and his followers were small in number.
Abu Bakar Bashir
Image
There is not a single Muslim leader today who has the courage and commitment to defend Islam and Muslims, they are all in awe of the United States and other Western powers, and are indebted to 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
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
If the West wants to have peace, then they have to accept Islamic rule.
Abu Bakar Bashir

Islam is fixed, stable, ordered and disciplined, and so are Muslims.
