CNN host stunned when Muslim cleric makes 9/11 joke during soundcheck
Jihad Watch ^ | 08/31/2014 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 09/01/2014 11:12:10 AM PDT by Rusty0604

On CNN’s Reliable Sources this morning, host Brian Stelter spoke with radical Muslim cleric Anjam Choudary...

“I believe that the Shariah is the best way of life,” he also said. “I believe that one day Shariah will come to America and the rest of the world.”

... He then contended that there is no such thing as “radical” Islam.

“There is no such thing as a radical or moderate form of Islam,” he said. “You know, a woman is either pregnant or not pregnant. If you abide by Islam, and you follow what is in the Koran and the traditions of the prophet — then, quite frankly, you’d never find anything that I say which does not have Islamic basis.”

“You’ll find that those people who differ from me believe in secularism, freedom — maybe they’re being paid by the government to say what they say,” Choudary replied.

The conversation abruptly ended when Stelter said, “here’s what bothers me: when we were setting up for our interview here, the audio engineer asked you to count to ten to check the mic, and you started to do that — but then you said 9/11, 7/7, 3/11. Is this all some sort of joke to you?”

“You know,” Choudary said, “if you had a sense of humor, you would have laughed at that. It was just a soundcheck. You shouldn’t take any of these things that seriously. If you want to make it a big deal, then do so, but it makes you look much more shallow, really.”

“I have nothing more to say,” Stelter responded.

“No,” Choudary replied. “I believe that Allah created eyes to see, the tongue to speak. Nobody says to you that you have a right to speak — rather, this is a freedom that Allah created, and he gave you the ability to speak. So I don’t abide by the parameters of your acceptable behavior.”

i agree with the premise of this... many think that the US Constitution gives us the right of free speech... it does not... it protects our right to free speech--which is given to us by God...

Straight from the horse's mouth. The day is coming when the choice is going to be no Islam or submission. I for one vote for the former.

Now on this, I agree.

This is from a Muslim cleric. Islam means submission. All Islam is based on violence, killing non-Muslims and stealing their possessions. That is what Islam is.

His “joke” celebrated 9/11 and other Islam murders.

From the Philippines to Africa, to Europe to the middle east to America Muslims are thugs and murderers. There are those who carry out the murderers and there are those who support them. That is the only difference.

Muslims should not be allowed around civilized people.

Go back to the desert you sand-pigs!

Acquire target, hold steady - release safety, take deep breath, let it halfway out and squeeze trigger. Adios, mofo.

Say, Anj, did you hear the one about mohammed and the goats? I bet you'll think it's a hoot...

Before anyone starts yelling at me..I am in no way implying a connection or equivalency here..but I was reminded of the Gipper's famous line:

We begin bombing in 5 minutes

The Principles of Allah

If you condemn murder you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn thievery you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn rape you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn pedophilia you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn terrorism you condemn Mohammed.

If you condemn Mohammed you condemn Islam.

I wonder if Choudary would appreciate a joke about a picture of Mohammad eating bacon? Doesn’t he have a sense of humor?

“If you had a sense of humor, you would have laughed at that."

If you had a sense of humor, you would laugh at the Mohammed cartoon with the bomb on his head. If you had a sense of humor, you would laugh when we call you "ragheads". If you had a sense of humor, you would let your women go around with faces uncovered so we could really laugh. You're so shallow.
