Here is another report on Moussaoui's recent statements, containing some that are highly illuminating.
Moussaoui says that suicide bombings are "not crazy but based on Islam." As I have explained many times, Muslims who justify such missions usually base them on Qur'an 9:111, which promises Paradise to those who "slay and are slain" for Allah. But most Western analysts will continue to ignore this and to assume that suicide bombers are in fact crazy, or motivated by poverty (despite the spate of studies that show them to be generally well off) or by political calculation. Few, if any, in any positions of influence will examine the basis on which Moussaoui is saying this -- and not just Moussaoui, but influential Islamic teachers like Sheikh Qaradawi.
"Moussaoui Tells Court 9/11's Toll Was Too Low," from the Bandar Beacon, aka the Washington Post, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Moussaoui laughed when Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert A. Spencer asked if he thought the United States was destined to fall. "I know it, I know it," he said. He stared at Spencer as the prosecutor inquired, "You wake up every day to destroy the United States, don't you?""To the best of my ability," Moussaoui responded.
"It was your choice to accept a suicide mission from Osama bin Laden," Spencer stated.
"It was my pleasure," Moussaoui clarified....
Moussaoui said his previous statements, including his wish to be executed as a martyr, were all part of his battle against America. "This is what I call psychological war or propaganda," he said.
Invited by Zerkin to explain why he hates America, Moussaoui said much of the reason is U.S. support for Israel, saying the Jewish state was "a creation of the Jewish community of New York and London. . . . For me, the Jewish state of Palestine is a missing star in the American flag. You are the head of the snake for me. If I want to destroy the Jewish state of Palestine, I have to destroy you."
Staring directly at Zerkin, who is Jewish, Moussaoui calmly said that he and other Muslims want to "exterminate" American Jews. Zerkin stared impassively back....
Asked by Spencer whether he had any regrets at all, Moussaoui said, "There is no regret for justice."...
After Moussaoui endorsed suicide bombing missions as "not crazy but based on Islam," Spencer said softly, "You would do it again tomorrow if you could, wouldn't you?"
"Today," Moussaoui answered, smiling.
And no, I am not this prosecutor. I wonder if he gets as many inquiries asking if he is I as I get asking if I am he.

It is probably a good thing for Moussaoui that you are not he because you would have had him crying like a baby and probably converting to Christianity with your knowledge islam.
Moussaoui has spoken it loudly and clearly. He is not crazy; he is a staunch adherent of Islam.
It's a good thing that I wasn't an armed bailiff in that courtroom. I couldn't have kept listening. The taunting of the families of 9/11 victims would have made me through all caution to the wind.
But the big question is this...Is GWB listening? I suspect he'll write off Moussaoui as a nutjob instead of a devout Muslim.
People should take note..he's basing his actions on the koran. It COMPELS him to kill infidels.
I'm sure there are a lot of "light bulbs" going off over the people's heads in the courtroom.
I hope they are connecting the dots. Islam=death. Islam is not a religion. It's a cult.
Moussaoui wishes to be known as a "martyr". He should be sentenced to life in prison under strict solitary confinement. This would deny him his wished for "martyr status for the greater glory of Islam", a Satanic system of beliefs.
I want Moussaoui tested and proven to be as cemently sane as I know he is, so that the world can stand up and take notice. This man is letting the proverbial cat out of the bag and yet, as we have all gotten used to by now, the world sticks its head in sand.
Hey, South Park?! I hope you guys are taking notes for your next episode.
I suppose one could argue that adherence to the mahometan cult is, in itself, a form of psychosis, but this creature is not insane in any legal sense. How bewildering this must all seem to regular readers of the Bandar Beacon.
Folks, this link (below) is about the Yale Taliban Man and is partly OT (it does touch on the Moussaoui case). Be sure to take a deep breath and relax when you find out what the pro-Islam administration of Yale has been up to...
EXCERPT
Ivory Tower Stonewall
A 9/11 survivor asks Yale to explain why it admitted the Taliban Man.
Monday, April 3, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT
“Katherine Bailey and her sister, Margaret Pothier, have a bone to pick with Yale President Richard Levin over his university's admission of a former Taliban official as a student. Mrs. Bailey lost her husband, Garnet "Ace" Bailey, on 9/11. Mr. Bailey, a hockey scout and former Boston Bruins star, was a passenger on United flight 175 when it slammed into the second World Trade Center tower.
Mrs. Bailey's sister, whose daughter graduated from Yale last year, has written Mr. Levin three times to demand an explanation…”

Read it all.
Is it just me or is the insanity defense seem to be poping up a lot lately? It seems in the past month or so, I've 3-4 articles regarding smaller attacks by Muslims who are alledgedly insane.
I ponderd whether this individual should be put to death for what he has done (or didn't say).
But I beleive that is just what he wants, and that is for us to kill him so that he may achieve his goal.
His goal is to enter paradise just as soon as he can.
I think it would be very much better for him to be made to live in prison, amongst the infidels he has come to hate.
Invited by Zerkin to explain why he hates America, Moussaoui said the reason is U.S. support for Israel, ..., Moussaoui calmly said that he and other Muslims want to "exterminate" American Jews.
So why did the guy blow himself up in Pakistan? Are the Pakistanis supporting Israel??? Are the Shi'ite civilians (and mosques) in Iraq supporting Israel??? His answer has gaping holes.
The 19 hijackers did not "liberate" one inch of "Palestine". All they did was get the Patriot Act passed (and get 2 Muslim countries invaded).

Contact Yale and let them know what you think; ask them why they refuse to expel Sayed Rahmatullah Hashemi, a 27-year-old former official of the Taliban:

Moussie is one of the most extreme enemies of America and our way of life telling all Americans to our face that the motivation of his life is to destroy us. I don't want one cent of my tax money supporting his life in prison where he will eventually get an interview from 60 Minutes and be a spiritual inspiration to Jiahdists. I want a special sentencing of this man. Death followed by pig lard rubbed on his body and burial. Let's see how funny he thinks that is. Let this sentence pass on all Jiahdists who are convicted of killing Americans here or abroad. What body parts scraped off the ground of suicide bombers will also buried in the same fashion. Why do we fight these brutal enemies on some Platonic plain of justice when they know of no such justice and when they see our displays of compassion and sentimentality as weaknesses?
The defense in this case proposes to bring up kin of those Americans killed in 9/11 with offers of "forgiveness" for this monster. Save your Christian principles for someone who is deserving of it and not this rat. This trial as gone on too long as far as I'm concern. The only good that could come out of it is that Moussie is telling everyone directly where he got his ideas from. Hopefully, it's not falling on deaf ears.
Put "moussy" the loudmouth out of misery ! We'll be wasting our money keeping him alive, to be reminded again and again of his existence.
Believe me, he'll be very quickly forgotten. Only he and his ilk think he'll be honoured, and become a holy martyr. They probably already consider him dead, and are on to the next thing on their agenda. Oh, it's the same thing, different faces.
I guess others have noticed the connection between 9/11/01 and Qur'an 9:111. Apparently OBL is a numbers guy.
The 9:11 in the Quran
9:11 But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then are they your brethren in religion. We detail Our revelations for a people who have knowledge.
In other words, convert to Islam and one is spared.
This part was left out in the above citation, leaving one to wonder who Zerkin is. This has got to be a surreal experience for Zerkin. The court might have done better by appointing Stanley Cohen of Hamas as his lawyer.
Only other thing - it would have been interesting to see what would have happened if the court had given him a Muslim lawyer. Given that the court pool of defence lawyers may not necessarily have included any Muslims, why didn't he hire one himself? Maybe from CAIR?
Maybe someone could work on a Monty Python skit, titled "Robert Spencer is not Robert Spencer"
That should clear things up.
Happy Easter!
_________________
That is the truth -
Moussaoui and others are telling us that they are not "crazy" or just a 'few radicals', and that their actions, such as the "suicide bombing missions" are "based on Islam".
But most of us don't believe this - as it is not what we want to hear - even though we are being told again and again.
And Moussoui is right.
One would like to know the following:
1) Did the Prosecution rebut the argument of the defense lawyer that Moussaoui is "crazy" because of his wretched childhood, etc. by pointing out that a large number of other people -- such as Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawihiri and Mohammed Atta -- were children of great privilege in the case of the first two, and middle-class in the case of the third, and that furthermore studies of terrorists had found them to be far above average, in their societies, in the amount of education they had received, and in the degree of economic wellbeing?
Did the Prosecution then explain that ideas matter, that those ideas about killing Infidels can be found in the Qur'an and Hadith, or did it stay away altogether from the subject, because almost no one in the Justice Department or in the rest of the government can quite bring himself to state the obvious?
2) Did the psychiatrist Dr. Vogelsang (one more Upper-West-Side name out of Lillian Ross's comical period-piece "Vertical and Horizontal") give any sign of having studied the belief-system of Islam, without which no conceivable judgment can be made about the sanity, or lack of it, of a devout Muslim such as Moussaoui?
And what do we conclude? We have two possible conclusions:
1) Moussaoui is simply following the tenets of Islam faithfully, and putting into practice the requirement that at least some Muslims must engage in Jihad (in order that others may, temporarily, be relieved of the duty)
OR
2) Moussaoui became depressed, as so many of us do, all over the Infidel world as well, but in the case of Muslims, the problem is that that depression, or any kind of emotional setback, can lead to blaming the Infidel. Viewing the universe through the prism of Islam makes one almost automatically ready to blame that Infidel, and to seek revenge.
Those are the two possible explanations.
And either one is a sufficient argument to stop, and reverse, the Muslim presence all over Europe and North America -- for the sake of the legal and social order, and the physical wellbeing, of Infidels who are, after all, those who created those societies and have no desire, and certainly no duty, to see them replaced or harmed by Muslim attempts to transform or replace them.
