Kuwaiti Cleric Questioned Over Calling For Jihad In Iraq

How many more are going unquestioned? From AFP:

KUWAIT CITY, Aug 24 (AFP) - An Islamist cleric was freed without bail after being questioned for a few hours over allegeations he incited youngsters to fight against US forces in Iraq, legal sources told AFP.

Sheikh Jaber al-Jalahma, a hardline Islamist, was questioned after some Islamist activists facing charges of recruiting fighters for Iraq mentioned his name while under interrogation, the sources said.

He and his defense lawyer Abdulrahman al-Rasheedi denied the charges and told the prosecutor that the confessions of the suspects were taken under duress, the sources added.

A second cleric, Sheikh Hamed al-Ali, the former chief of the hardline Salafi Movement, is expected to be questioned Wednesday on the same charges, the sources said.

Kuwaiti security forces arrested some 16 suspects in a crackdown last month on a group of Islamist activists for allegedly recruiting fighters for Iraq....

Islamic Affairs Minister Abdullah al-Maatuk said last week that teams of experts and clerics had been formed to draw up plans to combat extremism and terrorism which had reached a "dangerous level".

Was Muhammed an example for humanity?

This is probably a sop to U.S. Nudge, wink,wink.
Those Infidels can't say we haven't tried...

It appears you are correct, Morgane.

It's no secret that in EVERY country in the world with a sizable parasite (read mussie) population, clerics are using the 'bully pulpit' of mosques afforded them to brainswash mussie masses (ain't that a contradiction? brainwashing presumes brains existed, huh?), spew vile anti-jewish and anti-western venom and recruit for global (& local )jehad.

Any attempt to curb this blatant misuse in non-mussi counties are usually met with fervent cries of racism and anti-freedom of religion/speech/expression kinda dorky arguments. Can anybody point out to a single instance where clerics preaching shit have been brought to task in mussie countries?

Time we set aside separate column space in major media outlets to print verbatim the holy messages emnating from middle eastern mosque pulpits! Sunlight is the best disinfectant and ruthless exposure to islamo-crap should remove the blinkers off the most hardened liberals as well (one can always hope)!

Direct them to IslamistWatch.
