  • But then in 2000, well before his arrest, something happened which would make Abas question everything he believed in: a fatwa, a religious edict, was issued by Osama bin Laden. "It should be understood that killing Americans and Jews anywhere found are the highest act of worship and the highest form of good deeds in the eyes of Allah," Simon quotes bin Laden.
  • Abas and his fellow commanders were ordered to read the fatwa to their men and make sure they carried it out. The others obeyed, but Abas refused. It was his moment of truth. He firmly believed that jihad was to be fought only on the battlefield in defense of Islam; he had always been taught that the killing of civilians had nothing to do with holy war and that it was forbidden.

  • "So now that's why you're trying to convert them, to use a word, you're trying to covert them back to what you see as the truth path of Islam?" Simon asks.
  • "Because you feel guilty for what you taught them in the past?" Simon asks.

  • "Yes, correct. Because I realize that what I did before is wrong," Abas says.
  • Abas tried to right that wrong when he took on his former teacher and the leader of Jemaah Islamiyah, Abu Bakar Bashir, who was on trial for having approved of the Bali bombings. When Abas began testifying, he was shouted down and a mob forced him from the courtroom.
  • Hunted by radical Muslims in Indonesia, Abas knows he's a marked man and in a very dangerous situation.
  • "This is my life," he tells Simon.
  •  
    But Abas' contribution is not limited to undercover work. He is at the heart of the government's de-radicalization program, which is all about persuasion, talking to university students, combating the dogma taught in religious schools, and most important, trying to turn terrorists in the prisons.
