London Attack Condemned By Muslim Scholars

Click on the title to read the complete AP article. But let's take a look at part of it, shall we?

"There should be a clear distinction between the suicide bombing of those who are trying to defend themselves from occupiers, which is something different from those who kill civilians, which is a big crime," said Sayed Mohammed Musawi, the head of the World Islamic League in London."

Translation:

It is okay to engage in terrorist acts against the sovereign states of Iraq and Israel.

What a laugher. Here is why this guy is not to be believed:

-Civilians die more often than not in these two countries at the hands of these terrorist thugs. So this "scholar" (and I use the term very loosely) has somehow overlooked that fact. I wonder where he got his "scholar" status.

-The people of Iraq that want to join the police force or the military to defend their new country are targeted. Does that make them occupiers? The answer is yes. But it's their country to occupy. The foreign slime that has oozed in are the real occupiers, so I guess that gives the Iraqi government all of the validation needed, to squash the Al Qaida invaders.

-Innocents have been repeatedly targeted in Israel. Buses, shopping centers, places where children congregate are just fine in the "scholarly" imam's eyes. Rarely do they target the military, because that would expose just how weak these killers of innocents truly are.

"The media in the West are mixing the difference between these two, and the result is that some of our Muslim youth are becoming more frustrated and they think that both are the same, even though Muslim law forbids killing any innocent lives," Musawi said.

Here we go, blaming the Western media. Blame anybody but the twisted ideologues that commit such heinous acts.

Besides that, the "scholar" has just contradicted himself again. He said, "Muslim law FORBIDS killing ANY innocent lives".

Here is what the so-called Muslim "scholars" should have said:

"We strongly condemn and hereby officially renounce ALL acts of terrorism in the past and in the future. Furthermore, we wish to offer our complete cooperation with authorities anywhere in the world, to prevent any further attacks; and to aid in any ongoing investigation related to the London attack or any other attack, that has previously occurred."

Then they need to go to their mosques and say to their followers, "Enough is enough, it stops right now and it shall go no further!". Then and only then, would I ever be inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Muslims seem incapable of condemning any attack without using the word "but" followed by... anything... like how it's okay to kill Jews.

Other countries would do well to ask themselves a tough question.

If there were no U.S. and Israel to blame, who would the extremist terrorist thugs hate, then?
