Amnesty International Comes Out of the Closet — Endorses "Defensive" Jihad

[Nachum]

Former Gitmo detainee Moazzam Begg is a committed jihadist and unabashed supporter of the Taliban. (See this Weekly Standard essay by Tom Joscelyn, which collects other Begg links.) In the fashion of CAIR — a creation of the Muslim Brotherhood formed to support its causes, such as Hamas, in the camouflage of a "civil rights" organization — Begg shrewdly realized he could win fawning admirers and allies on the Left by posing as a human rights activist. So he formed a group in Britain, Cageprisoners, which claims to be a civil rights organization whle promoting the Islamist agenda — and aligning with such other anti-American jihadist terrorists as would-be Christmas bomber Umar Abdulmutallab and Anwar al-Awlaki (an imam to some of the 9/11 hijackers and an inspiration to both Abdulmutallab and Fort Hood mass-murderer Nidal Hasan).

[. . .Cordone states AI’s position outright: advocacy of “jihad in self defence” is not antithetical to human rights. That Islamists reserve unto themselves the right to determine when Islam is, as they put it, “under siege,” and when, therefore, forcible jihad is justified. . .]

This is also referred to as “anarchy.”

Just proving once again that Amnesty International is an unGodly group.

Time to round up every suspicious Muslim, their supporters (such as AI, Code Pink, International ANSWER, the DNC, etc.) and either deport or detain them. Then keep the rest of them under constant surveillance if it means tripling the size of homeland security and the FBI.

It's probably too much to hope that AI’s open Jihad advocacy will cut into their donation receipts.

They deserve to live the rest of their miserable lives in some shi’itehole jihadistan..

"Civil Rights" organizations appear to be just a Trojan Horse for them. Even they recognize the fact that leftists validate themselves by collaborating with their country's enemies, and find yet another avenue to infiltrate and weaken us.

Islam is the mortal enemy of western civilization, and has been for almost fourteen centuries. There will never be a peaceful co-existance with them, though the west is still in complete denial.

AI has always been a leftist outfit.

AI has always been an enemy organization. They occasionally do good work to hide their agenda.
