My co-worker, who has done extensive work in prisons with terrorists and former terrorists:
"This mujaheddin I know SMSed me to say that he is very happy about the verdict. He spent 14 years in a Central Java prison for terrorism crimes." He went on to explain that many mujaheddin in Indonesia disagree with Bashir and are celebrating his imprisonment, as one of the clerics who interprets the jihad in the wrong way is now out of the way, and so their versions can thrive.
He also laughed at me when I said "caliphate." Apparently the English translation is nowhere near the Arabic pronunciation.
Terrorists texting anti-terrorism crusaders to celebrate the imprisonment of other terrorists? This really did just happen.
