| Reformed jihadi tells it all about muslim imperialism |
| 2006-11-07 |
| Note that due to his own background, he leaves out of the equation the deobandis, the iranian-backed chiites, and the turkish fundies. Michael Coren - National Post Dr. Tawfik Hamid doesn't tell people where he lives. Not the street, not the city, not even the country. It's safer that way. It's only the letters of testimony from some of the highest intelligence officers in the Western world that enable him to move freely. This medical doctor, author and activist once was a member of Egypt's Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (Arabic for "the Islamic Group"), a banned terrorist organization. He was trained under Ayman al-Zawahiri, the bearded jihadi who appears in Bin Laden's videos, telling the world that Islamic violence will stop only once we all become Muslims. He's a disarmingly gentle and courteous man. But he's determined to tell a complacent North America what he knows about fundamentalist Muslim imperialism. "Yes, 'imperialism,' " he tells me. "The deliberate and determined expansion of militant Islam and its attempt to triumph not only in the Islamic world but in Europe and North America. Pure ideology. Muslim terrorists kill and slaughter not because of what they experience but because of what they believe." |

| #1 OK, so now the MMM (Mythical Moderate Muslim) count is up to, say, a dozen or so? Thank God (not Allah) that this guy's telling the truth. Sad to say, though, that he won't be heard much past the walls of the 'burg and a few other good blogs/websites. I'm coming more and more to the conclusion that we'll have to have an internal civil war again (against the LLL and the MSM) before we can really take on the jihadis. |
