I reported here
yesterday that when Mr. Justice Sweeney sentenced Mujaahid Abu Hamza
and Ismail ibn Abdullah (or as the media insists on calling them,
Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale) for the murder of Lee Rigby, he
told them that what they had done was a “betrayal of Islam,” whereupon
they became enraged and started a fight. This story gives more detail:
they told him that their murder of Rigby was not a betrayal of Islam,
and said that the U.S. and Britain would “never be safe.” It would be
refreshing now if there could be a serious public discussion about
whether or not their murder really was a betrayal of Islam, and what
implications the answer to that question might have for domestic and
foreign policy. But there won’t be. To have such a discussion would be
“Islamophobic.”
“Lee Rigby murderers sentenced to life in prison,” by David Barrett and Claire Carter for the Telegraph, February 26 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
The Islamist killers of Drummer Lee Rigby erupted into violence in an Old Bailey courtroom as they were sentenced for murder.
Michael Adebolajo, 29, and Michael Adebowale, 22, had to be
manhandled out of court by security guards after being told by Mr
Justice Sweeney that their crime was a “betrayal of Islam”.
Adebolajo screamed at the judge as he was manhandled down the dock
stairs in the historic Court No 2 but, in scenes lasting several
minutes, his co-defendant was held to the floor and cuffed before being
carried downstairs head first….
Angered by the judges’ comments about Islam, Adebowale stood up and
shouted: “That’s a lie. It’s not a betrayal of Islam. You don’t know
what Islam is.”
The struggle erupted as the murderer yelled: “I swear by Allah that
America and Britain will never have any safety. Allahu Akbar [God is
Great].”…
And, what is Islam all about, you ask? It is about this.
These
attacks are now coming in such rapid succession that it is clear that
the Nigerian government cannot stop the jihadis. They can commit mass
murder wherever and whenever they wish to. Would Glenn Greenwald say
that these jihad murderers were being framed by the Islamophobic
British government? “‘Boko Haram attacks’ kill 37, including at
Christian college,” from AFP, February 27:
Kano (Nigeria) (AFP) – Suspected Boko Haram gunmen killed
at least 37 people in three separate attacks in northeast Nigeria,
including at a theological college, a local government official and
residents said on Thursday.
The coordinated attacks in Adamawa state late on Wednesday came just a
day after Islamist militant fighters were blamed for killing 43 people,
most of them students, as they slept at a boarding school in Yobe
state.
The chairman of the Madagali local government area in Adamawa, Maina
Ularamu, said “a large number of militants carried out three separate
attacks on Shuwa and Kirchinga in my local government area and on
Michika in neighbouring Michika (district)”.
“The gunmen divided themselves into three groups and separately attacked the three locations,” he told AFP.
He had earlier put the death toll in Shuwa, part of Madagali local government area, at 17.
But he later told AFP that eight more bodies were recovered in the
village, including three from a Christian college, confirming the
account of a resident about the three burnt corpse found in the
seminary.
“The death toll in the Shuwa attack now stands at 25 after eight more
bodies were recovered, including three discovered under the burnt
debris of the theological school,” Ularamu said.
In Shuwa, several buildings were burnt, including a Christian theological college and a section of a secondary school.
In Kirchinga, Samuel Garba said the gunmen were all dressed in
military uniform — a tactic frequently employed by the militant fighters
in previous, similar attacks.
“The gunmen… killed eight people in our village and burnt many houses,” he added.
“Four people have so far been confirmed dead in Michika,” said Abdul Kassim, who lives in the village.
The dead were a young boy who was trying to run away and three security guards, he added.
In a statement, the military confirmed the attacks on multiple
communities in Adamawa but said that only one soldier and three
civilians were killed. Troops repelling the raids also killed six
suspected Islamists, according to the statement….
In case you didn't understand the message, the Qur'an commands Muslims to kill Christians and Jews, "wherever you find them".
And. ad nauseam
