University of terror: The Jihadi school on Australia’s doorstep funded by Donald Trump’s friend Saudi Arabia
The Saudi Arabia-funded Institute for the Study of Islam and Arabic in Jakarta has produced some of Indonesia’s terrorist leaders. Known as LIPIA, the university segregates female from male students & enforces strict dress codes for both men and women and forbids music, television, wearing jeans and “loud laughter”. The hard line Islam taught at LIPIA approves of death for homosexual people and blasphemers, stoning for adulterers and the amputation of hands for thieves, reports Voice of America.The Boston Globe reports that LIPIA is the centre of Saudi Arabia’s campaign to convert Indonesians to Wahhabi Islam and the Salafi movement. Indonesia’s Muslim population — 202 million of its 258 million total, and including a 2.5 million Shia minority — were once regarded as largely tolerant and open-minded.
As well as the LIPIA university, Saudi Arabia has financially supported dozens of boarding schools and built 150 mosques. The schools have included jihadi breeding grounds like Al-Mukmin Islamic boarding school in Solo, Central Java. Salman agreed to allow more than 200,000 Indonesians make the hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in western Saudi Arabia, more than any other country. The hajj quota is hard won and precarious, and the Indonesian Government is reportedly reluctant to jeopardise the prize by interfering with the Saudis’ local influence.
