The mujahideen are not Islamic enough

This is exactly what has happened recently in Indonesia, with the infamous cleric Ustad Abu Bakar Ba'asyir declaring that he was stepping down from the post of Emir of the notorious Majlis Mujahidin Indonesia (MMI) that has been in the Press since the days of the Bali bombing years ago. Ba'asyir has become a household name across Indonesia and the world at large for his links to the MMI and his alleged role as the leader of the nebulous Jama'ah Islamiyah underground movement. For years he has been a thorn in the flesh of the Indonesian government, spewing venom against a succession of leaders from Aburrahman Wahid (Gus Dur), to Megawati Sukarnoputri and the present President of the Rebublic, Bambang Susilo Yudhoyono.
