Malaysian Terrorist Noordin M Top May Have Hidden Explosives in Anus
Terror mastermind Noordin M Top may have concealed explosives in his
anus, explaining why a forensic examination of his body led an expert
to believe he may have been sodomized.
A forensic pathologist
said on Wednesday that an examination of Noordin’s body indicated that
he had been sodomized at some point in his life.
“There is an
anomaly in Noordin’s anus because it is shaped like a funnel,” said
Mun’im Idris, a forensic pathologist from the University of Indonesia.
“It indicated that somebody had sodomized him.”
Mun’im was
part of the team of experts that conducted the autopsy on the body of
Noordin, a Malaysian-born terrorist who was sought for a string of
attacks carried out across the country in the name of Islam.
Mun’im
on Thursday said that Noordin’s funnel-shaped anus was an obvious sign
that he had been sodomized over a long period of time.
“His anus wouldn’t have taken such a funnel shape if he had been sodomized only a handful of times,” Mun’im told reporters.
Other experts speculated that Noordin’s condition may have been caused by concealing explosives in his anus.
Hiding
explosives inside the body was a method used by a terrorist who
attempted to kill Saudi Arabian Prince Mohamed Bin Nafey in August
2009.
The terrorist approached the prince during a dinner to
break the Ramadan fast at his residence. He got past the metal detector
because he had hidden the explosives in his anus. In September 2009,
Newsweek magazine published an article about a new terrorist strategy
of hiding explosives in body cavities to avoid setting off metal
detectors.

I don’t know if you are referring to the writers of the editorial or those that have commented over the last day or so?
In any event, I don't think that there were any truly homophobic comments, just jest at Noordin and his hypocrisy. Let’s not forget here that this guy was a vicious terrorist responsible for the deaths of countless innocent human beings. He promoted the creation of an Islamic State across Asia, that would have brought with it strict Sharia law. If he had got his wish he would have been stoning homosexuals, adulterers and other innocent human beings to death. If his actions had been allowed to continue in Indonesia, he could have brought massive disaster to this country. The man was a criminal of the very worst kind, the kind that hides behind a religious cause.
I certainly had no idea that he was Gay and nor did anyone I know. It would appear to me that he did everything in his power to hide his sexuality. Just a thought: maybe if homosexuals were not persecuted in Indonesia and Malaysia, Noordin M Top might have chosen a different life path altogether. No my friend, I don’t think there are many people who comment in these pages that have any homophobic leaning, I think most are simply bidding farewell and good riddance to NMT.
