Along the way she interviews Anjem Choudary.
He is featured in a video I posted last week.
Choudary is an Islamist extremist whose organization, Islam4UK, was banned for inciting terrorism. The video shows Choudary giving a class on Islam, which he interrupts to phone in a message to a demonstration in New York urging them on to jihad.
This is the same Choudary who in 2006 said at a demonstration that Pope Benedict should be executed.
So, what did Choudary say when Amapour asked him about moderate Muslims?
Exactly what you would expect:
I suppose Amanpour was trying to associate all Islamists with Choudary and thus portray them all as nuts to be ignored, and thus discredit critics of Islam.
But Choudary is articulate--so he just scared the heck out of her audience, proving the point of the critics.
Technorati Tag: Christianne Amanpour and Anjem Choudary and Moderate Muslims.
Anjem Choudary showed why the phrase "moderate Muslim" is an oxymoron.
ReplyDeleteThey ALL believe the same thing. And the difference between the West and Islam isn't that its a cultural dispute. It is a clash of civilizations.
The dhimmi mass media doesn't appear to appreciate the difference.

ReplyDeleteNo. They do not "ALL believe the same thing."
Choudary Head is an Islamic Looney Tune Death cultist.
Most Muslims are not.
If the claim is made that "Islam is inherently evil," then those claimants must either ignore History or dilute the word "Evil" to include just about every religion and philosophy on Earth.
Today, 2010, and for the last 100 years or so, the Islamic/Arab world has been marching on the path of annihilation and "evil."
This has to change in order for the the world to survive.
Not allowing that Islam can reform itself, and that it has in the past (as has every religion and philosophy on this planet) is to deny Islam the possibility of change.
And, without the possibility of change within the Islamic/Arab world, they will, indeed, destroy the entire world.
The problem is whether there is a moderate Muslim leader who would still be palatable to the majority of Muslims.
