FPI Volunteer to go and Fight in Myanmar

[lifelongexpat]

They'll soon hurry back as they'll find the Burmese won't just stand around and do nothing like the Indonesian police.

Officials from Indonesia’s most infamous hardline Islamist organization, the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), say that thousands of their members from across Indonesia have volunteered to travel to Rakhine state in order to fight for their Muslim brothers and sisters.

FPI has made these statements about half a dozen conflicts so far. Not 1 person has actually departed. I think they're just big on the collecting donations part.

I thought the piece about the FPI hadn't taken in any refugees so far amusing

Hell, if they actually go, I can chip in for a one-way ticket...

I wonder how they will respond at Yongan International Airport when they are refused to enter the country.

Grazed knees & foreheads on the tarmac maybe?

and maybe more....when I was an RAF cadet we had many Burmese train with us and they were ruthless bastards...they won all the physical tests including being championship boxers.

I'm sure that while no actual FPI member would accompany their jihad fighters against Myanmar, the ones they send would in all likelihood die there. As normal, the FPI didn't seem to get the memo about just what their fighters would be up against in regards to the Myanmar Military and how they would butcher each and every one of the Indonesians and then celebrate. Hope a few hundred thousands of them sign up.

The rally and recruitment to take place at Borobudur has been banned by the nations Chief of Police. As it should be.

I didn't realize an Air Asia bargain basement deal and a few days worth of nasi bungkus and kreteks would come to 30juta.

Maybe there's government funding available for this purpose

I know all this is said in joking manner, but throughout human history, our species has killed off young males by sending them to fight each other.

I read that one of the biggest indicators of impending unrest is a large population of unemployed young men.

I say if these guys want to volunteer they should go right ahead. Just make sure it is a one way ticket.

That and coming from a repressed society where they can't get laid.
