Muslim Cleric Defends Paris Terrorist Attack.

In the wake of the terrorist attack on the offices of French satirist paper Charlie Hebdo, one Muslim cleric justified the murders under Islamic law.  (Would someone please tell Choudary that he is not on the Middle East’s  football field.  If he wants to play by their rules, he needs to go back to the Middle East.)

USA today published a column by avowed “radical Muslim cleric” Anjem Choudary. The piece titled “People know the consequences” asks why France would allow the paper to mock Islam, and further excused the systematic murders as justified under Islamic law. Choudary has to understand if he is going to live undef Sharia law he needs to return to his home country where this law is practiced.  He cannot drag this law around the world because it is his law not the law outside of the Middle East. The reason they leave the Middle East is because they want to enjoy the fruits of others’ labor.  Have you ever seen any convenience in the Middle East (that is only enjoyed by the top).  He cannot have it both ways.  Whenever they leave the Middle East they come to bring all of their garbage with them and try to pile it on the rest of the world.

French citizens gather in Paris to denounce the terrorist attack against magazine Charlie Hebdo and to rally in defense of free speech (top picture).
“Muslims consider the honor of the Prophet Muhammad to be dearer to them than that of their parents or even themselves. To defend it is considered to be an obligation upon them. The strict punishment if found guilty of this crime under sharia (Islamic law) is capital punishment implementable by an Islamic State. This is because the Messenger Muhammad said, “Whoever insults a Prophet kill him.”

“However, because the honor of the Prophet is something which all Muslims want to defend, many will take the law into their own hands, as we often see.”

The contention that mass murder is in any way an appropriate response to being personally offended is a dangerous slope on which to tread. There is no doubt that some of these cartoons can be seen as offensive to certain people, but that same sentiment can be asserted on nearly any form of speech, especially in politics. Hence, the reasoning behind and the sanctity of the Constitution’s first amendment.

Choudary then reversed the blame for the attack away from the three terrorists themselves and onto the French government:
“So why in this case did the French government allow the magazine Charlie Hebdo to continue to provoke Muslims, thereby placing the sanctity of its citizens at risk?”

This kind of blame shifting is also intellectually perilous. Placing the onus of speech on the any secular government is asking for abuse. But, if Choudary had his way, the government of the Islamic State would tightly control speech and punish transgressions with death.

Choudary’s entire argument excusing the Paris attack reveals the fundamental disconnect between views of civilizations. Radical Islamists have no intention of assimilating into their respective cultures or contributing to any kind of meaningful dialogue about religion and free speech. They are intent on terrorizing western citizens out of exerting their rights. Their plan of terrorism and intimidation, with the ultimate goal of imposing their religion on others is fundamentally anti-American and is not meant for the 21st century.

The other subject we must cover is – if the people (whoever they are) leave America and leave to fight against America (whether inside the U.S. or outside in any country) , Article III, Section 3, of the Constitution states:  Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.  No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.  The Congress shall have power to declare the punishment of treason, but no atttainder of treason shall work corruption of blood, or forfeiture except during the life of the person attainted.  All of these people who leave America to fight anywhere against the country should immediately be arrested upon their return into the country.
