Here's an interview with UK Muslim leader
Anjem Choudary who says basic Islamic teachings from the Quran shaped his
pro-jihad message. Hear what he says in his own words about Islam not being
just another religion but an ideology that is all encompassing and worth fighting
and dying for.
He applauds the 9-11 terrorists and considers
'Jihad' against Christians and Jews as mainstream and authorized by the Quran.
He is hoping to overthrow the British government and replace it with one based
upon Sharia law. Well worth 6 1/2 minutes.
Response: For some reason in the West, our
political correctness has run amuck and doesn't allow the media or the political
establishment to consider the real character and teachings of Islam. Most
of us are hoping for some kind of moderate form which really doesn't exist
in any official way even though there are moderate individual Muslims living
in our midst.
Fact is, there are no 'moderate' Islamic schools
and all of the Mullahs in the USA were trained in the Middle East. We consider
Choudary to be a radical but in the context of Islamic thought in the Middles
East he is far more 'mainstream' than any of us wish to acknowledge.
Fact is, Sharia Law is a major component of
Islam and cannot be separated from it though many of the fundamental laws
are in direct conflict with Western traditions, laws, and democratic institutions.
Some Muslims are content and happy to live
under Western laws and governments and adapt well to it. However, many others
like Choudary call for the establishment of Sharia Law in the West which is
tantamount to calling for the destruction of Western civilization, Western
jurisprudence and democracy, and the free-enterprise economy.
