platitudes that ignore or obfuscate Muslim theological-juridical institutions, and the violent history <strong>of</strong><br />
Islamic jihad, can really <strong>of</strong>fer a pathway to meaningful reform.<br />
More recently, a prominent Islamic Cleric based in the UK gave an interview to The Sunday<br />
Telegraph on 05/08/2004, 5 days after the Beslan Russia massacre <strong>of</strong> women and children, while<br />
promoting a "celebratory" conference in London the following Saturday (9/11) to commemorate the third<br />
anniversary <strong>of</strong> the September 11 attacks. In the interview he indicated he would support hostage-taking at<br />
British schools if carried out by terrorists with a just cause. Omar Bakri Mohammed, the spiritual leader<br />
<strong>of</strong> the extremist sect al-Muhajiroun, said that holding women and children hostage would be a reasonable<br />
course <strong>of</strong> action for a Muslim who has suffered under British rule. In the interview, Mr Mohammed said:<br />
"If an Iraqi Muslim carried out an attack like that in Britain, it would be justified because Britain has<br />
carried out acts <strong>of</strong> terrorism in Iraq". This learned cleric, I suspect, is fully aware <strong>of</strong> the jurisprudence<br />
cited here and fully aware <strong>of</strong> the example <strong>of</strong> Muhammad, and he aspires to follow in his footsteps. The<br />
terrorists who massacred the Russian children those first three days <strong>of</strong> September felt no empathy in their<br />
pitiless acts, thinking only <strong>of</strong> how proud their God and his prophet will be <strong>of</strong> their sanctified pious acts <strong>of</strong><br />
murder and mayhem. They fully believe, as do all devoted and learned, that their brutal acts are an<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering acceptable to their God that will earn them a place in heaven with the great ones, with their<br />
virility increased a hundred fold so they can exercise eternal lust chasing around scores <strong>of</strong> virgins and<br />
boys. The fact that they will be dead, and have no penis with which to copulate, and no sperm to<br />
ejaculate, is lost on them. As terrorists die and enter next state <strong>of</strong> existence, I imagine they go fairly<br />
quickly from a state <strong>of</strong> rapture and delusion, to a state <strong>of</strong> confusion and frustration, if not severe anguish.
