#1 Something doesn't quite add up: in the video he mentions being involved in things that he loses sleep over, things that he can't talk about. And yet it was the actions of others, on 7/7, that finally made him change his position. (Unless this is an oblique way of confessing that he was connected to the 7/7 bombers in some way.) He doesn't look particularly wracked with guilt, but OTOH he does use very strong language to condemn the problem of Muslim violence. All in all, a very strange episode.

#2 I am just amazed the topic going by the generalized BDS, reality-censorship and schismatic Trutherism at CBS.

#4 Ah, Ye Olde Koranic loophole...

"Wed talk about the suffering of the Muslims all over the world," Butt tells Simon. "We were very well-versed in the Koran, in the verses of the Koran, in the sayings of the Prophet and show that how it was permissible for people to go around killing innocent men, women and children."

"You would explain to them why it's permissible to kill innocent men, women and children?" Simon asks.

"Well, a better way to put it is, we would take away the innocence from the person so they were no longer innocent men, women and children," Butt explains.

"So, men, women and children would become non-innocents?" Simon asks.

"Become non-innocent and hence, combatants and allowed to be targeted," Butt says.

I figured that was a Rosie reference, but then remembered she's at ABC. BTW - She thinks the Brit soldier kidnapping episode occured in Iranian waters and called it Gulf Of Tonkin II. The truth never gets by her....nor the pastry cart

#6 To be honest this guy is the real deal as i remember reading/watching him during the Afghan war.

He was one of the most extreme characters in the UK ie a taliban recruiter so if he can change his views there is some hope out there!!!!

He needs to reach out to the Asian youngsters in the Cities of the UK who are unemployed,fed up and exploited by the extremist.The IRA did the same thing in the 70's/80's brainwashing youngsters to carry out their evil deeds!!!!

#7 The truth never gets by her....nor the pastry cart
