Excellent . . . worth printing and sharing, for sure.

Thanks.

By blaming the Government for our actions, those who pushed this "Blair's bombs" line did our propaganda work for us.

The western liberal media...doing the work of our enemies...

Excellent article and from the an ex-terrorist who know exactly what islamic terrorism is all about. The terrorists hate us because we are not one of them, it is a simple as that. Any person who does not understand this is either an ignorant, or an idiot, or a useful idiot, or a traitor.

Thanks for the re-post, I missed the first one. The only way to stop Islam is to change it’s legal designation from that of a religion to being a political movement, like Nazism. Then outlaw it.

...we were fighting for the creation of a revolutionary worldwide Islamic state that would dispense Islamic justice.


BINGO!!!

Give that man a prize!

“...left the British Jihadi Network in February 2006 because I realised that its members had simply become mindless killers.”

As informative and interesting as this article, I have to wonder when his disillusionment began. Having been indoctrinated all his life, what was the catalyst that turned him off on radical islam. Was it his turn to strap on the bomb when the light bulb went on? I guess we’ll never know.

I say kill him now!

More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.

Yep. That's 99% of the cause...

I other words. Islam is not compatable with the modern world. It is a death cult, end of story.

I believe that the issue of terrorism can be easily demystified if Muslims and non-Muslims start openly to discuss the ideas that fuel terrorism.

Lotsa luck. If two mere cartoons can result in riots in many countries, several murders and many wrecked careers in journalism, dream on.

The radicals are going to issue a Fatwa against this guy. They'll go after him and try and kill him for such talk.

What he is proposing basically is a reformation of Islam...from within. He's right...it is needed. And I bet, should it gain the traction it needs, it will be bloody.

OTOH, if it doesn't happen, sooner or later the radicals will committ such horror in the name of Islam (as if what they have already done is not enough and indicative of where they will go), that it will be treated like Nazism by the rest of the world and wholly irradicated.

The idea of teh headline is to get us not to read it, right?

I believe that the issue of terrorism can be easily demystified if Muslims and non-Muslims start openly to discuss the ideas that fuel terrorism.

The ideas that fuel Islamic terrorism where people give up their lives voluntarily to kill Infidels, for a supernatural reward, comes from the Koran and Hadiths.

If Muslims have an open discussion on these issues, the fundamentalists will recruit more fundamentalists, since they have the sacred texts on their side.

The biggest thing that is helping us is the Infidel collaborators around the world like Ayotolla Sistani in Iraq and King Abdullah in Jordan and a whole host of so called Muslim political leaders who seem to be more interested in worldly thing than doing what God(Allah) wants done. (Subjugate , kill or convert non believers)

The religion is so hard to practice that many are backsliders and cageteria style Muslims who are more interested in worldly things, than following the religion as written and following the example of Muhammed.

You can't reform this religion. The word of God (Allah)doesn't change. It would take a new Prophet to appear with an updated version of Islam, to change it.

Heretics like the person mentioned in the article should just leave the religion. He can't abide by the basic tenets and wants the religion changed to accomodate his secular beliefs. Not an uncommon thing to happen in a religion. - tom

. . .how we used to laugh in celebration whenever people on TV proclaimed that the sole cause for Islamic acts of terror like 9/11, the Madrid bombings and 7/7 was Western foreign policy

For centuries, the reasoning of Islamic jurists has set down rules of interaction between Dar ul-Islam (the Land of Islam) and Dar ul-Kufr (the Land of Unbelief) to cover almost every matter of trade, peace and war.

But what radicals and extremists do is to take this two steps further. Their first step has been to argue that, since there is no pure Islamic state, the whole world must be Dar ul-Kufr (The Land of Unbelief).

Step two: since Islam must declare war on unbelief, they have declared war upon the whole world.

I am utterly surprised that these concepts seem to be invisible to the MSM.
