Jemaah Islamiah Cleric Suing Anti-Terror Police...
Here is the kicker, he's suing because the unit is "giving Islam a bad name". What a complete donkey...
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Controversial Muslim cleric Abu Bakar Bashir launched a court case on Thursday demanding Indonesia's anti-terrorism police unit be disbanded because it harmed Islam.
The lawsuit charges that Detachment 88, a police unit funded and trained by the United States and Australia, targets innocent Muslim activists and does the bidding of Western powers hostile to Islam.
"Special Detachment 88 is harming Islam because they say Muslims are terrorists and they give Islam a bad name," said Bashir, jailed for 30 months for conspiracy over the 2002 Bali bombings but later cleared.
