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.
