Says MEMRI: "Magdi Ahmad Hussein, the Secretary-General of the Egyptian Labor (Islamist) Party, recently appeared on Al-Jazeera TV, declaring that attacks against U.S. troops and civilians in Iraq are legitimate, and that hostage taking is permitted by Islam." A few excerpts of his statetments:
"The violence is currently directed at the occupation. This is legitimate violence. This is Jihad against occupiers. 99% of the violent operations target the foreign occupation of the Arab and Islamic nation. Therefore, they are not included in the conflict with the [Arab] rulers."From the strategic perspective, the vast majority of operations are proper. As for Taba, as I've said, the entire Egyptian nation demands that tourists be banned from entering Egypt. It is inconceivable that Egypt has become a resort for the Israeli army.
"The Israeli army kills in Palestine in the morning and then comes to relax and gamble in Taba. Abominations that are forbidden in Israel, such as gambling, are allowed in Egypt. But the main issue is that Egypt has become a resort for the Zionist army."
'The Prisoners in Iraq - 99% of the Cases are Proper, According to Islamic Law'
"As for the hostages you spoke of, they are not hostages, sir, but prisoners. According to Islamic law, hostages can be redeemed, set free, or killed. When you are weak - you kill. The prisoners in Iraq, sir - 99% of the cases are proper, according to Islamic law. All those who were killed were agents and partners of the occupation. 75% of the hostages were released in exchange for political gains.
"So how come some voices in the Islamic movement and official clerics tell us that killing prisoners is un-Islamic? No, both the Koran and the Prophet's biography permit the killing of prisoners. This exists in our Islamic law and in the laws of all nations...."
If you read Jihad Watch regularly, you would have seen citations to that effect here.
"We are the weak ones. They make demands on us that don't exist in international law. There must be reciprocity. If your city is being bombed… Those who bomb Fallujah cannot prevent me from bombing Los Angeles. Why Fallujah? Why do we always feel inferior to them? What is the meaning of this inferiority complex? If we had missiles we should have bombed Los Angeles or any other city until they stopped bombing Fallujah, Samarra, and Ramadi."Sir, why do the government clerics ignore the killing of the prisoners during the time of the Prophet? 600-700 prisoners were killed in the raid on the Qurayza tribe.
"Why do they conceal this? Why do they hide the fact that the Prophet gave the order to assassinate some poets - to assassinate! Not in military operations, but rather by individual assassination.
"Why did he order the assassination of K'ab Ibn Ashraf, the Jew, leader of Khaybar? And then he ordered the assassination of the leader who successive him. As a result, the Jews became fearful and terrified."
Are we still sending them a billion or so dollars a year?

What a twisted, convaluted, backward, snakey, slipshod, misinformed, cracked, arrogant, know nuthin', low brow, sick, demented mind!
So, what's new?
For those that caught the Laurie Roth radio show with Robert Spencer,you've got to hear tonights show with Jayna Davis where she exposes the Al-Qaeda links to Timothy McVeigh
who met them in Saudi Arabia during his tour of duty in the Gulf-War.
I hear her on a earlier radio show and a liable suit against her forced the FBI and the Courts
to read evidence into the records.
CAIR has always used the Timothy McVeigh bombing to deflect blame from Islam,but lets see how Abrihim Hooper weasels out of this one.
Check out the Laurie Roth website and Jayna Davis's site with her book "The third Terrorists",this doesn't make Kerry look too good
after his rants on false terrorism threats in America.

I believe the US gives Egypt 2 billion dollars a year in aid. Time to stop all western money to any Islamic countries.
I'm perfectly happy to grant this dickhead at least one of his desires, namely that this is one westerner who will never ever ever set foot in his third world shithole country, and I sincerely hope that in time no other westerners do either.
I'd love to see the results of no tourism at all in egypt, exactly what economic activities could they replace it with?, selling off the pyramids perhaps?
There have been cases in history where a particular state here or there has acted like it has a death wish, either in terms of economics or statecraft, but this attitude really goes all the way thru the entire islamic world, eventually they'll get their wish, I'm pretty sure of it.
Someone should let Mr Magdi Ahmad Hussein know that we Americans have already stopped Moslems from bombing Los Angeles..
I guess that news hasn’t made it to his part of the dung pile!
No Islam, Know Peace
What is suprising to me is that this guy in his statements doesn't try to hide the nasty aspects of the islamic religion. When speaking in arabic islamists often don't (e.g. arafat speaks evil in arabic and good in english often). He seems completely open about it all. Infact his mouth can't stay shut.
The stuff islamists say in the middle east could totaly explode the propaganda coming from western islamist gropus like CAIR. But these islamist beliefs which definatively explain the reasons for terrorism against the west NEVER make their way onto prime time news like CNN or the front pages of newspapers. They are covered up in all prime time news. I wish this guys statement was published everwhere..it is that educational.
Perversly enough reporting the truth through a islamists own mouth, and not a westerners mouth, would probably get the media networks in trouble. It would probably be considered legally as inciting racial hatred. However isn't the truth the most important thing? Isn't ignorance the greatest of evils?
This is why political correctness is so dangerous...the truth is seen as a mandatory sacrifice to be made to acheive social harmony. This concept doesnt work anymore though when that social harmony becomes social death. What could be more socially dysfunctional?
Actually the Koran demands the killing of those that oppose Islam. Thus the General of the Egyptian Labor Party is doing his duty and will come here P.D.Q. to fulfill his objective, the killing of non-Muslims. It appears that the State Department is in agreement as they continue to fund these countries.
I saw recently a documentary about Saudi Arabia where the Muslim cleric who is the spiritual father of the bin Laden family, said there will be more strikes like 9/11 as long as Muslims are "inhibited from spreading Islam" - it was not about Western presence in the Islamic countries, it was about spreading Islam in the West (regarding the number of Saudi-financed mosques overall one could wonder how "inhibited" the spreading of islam really is; maybe the inhibition he had in mind is sth like stopping Muslims to bomb LA?). The West is an enemy per definition, no matter if the struggle is going on on Islamic land or in the West, it is about the West standing in the way of their world conquering plans...
I agree with saolrse: no tourism to Islamic countries. Any money spent there is potentially a donation to terrorists.
How can we possibly reason with such an deviant way of thinking??? We can't so why bother??? Send them all to hell......
Huh, even their 'Labor Parties' are Islamist?
No, both the Koran and the Prophet's biography permit the killing of prisoners. This exists in our Islamic law and in the laws of all nations...."
It seems that Magdi Ahmad Hussein assumes that the law all over the world is sharia by default, or soon to come about.
Scandie:
There will be peace with islam so long as no one inhibits its growth. Any attempt to inhibit its growth, is a just cause for Jihad.
Such has always been the case through the history of islam. The only times it has desisted, is when confronted by an overwhelming and at the same time totally ruthless power. Stalin and Mao come to immediate mind.
