Imam of Tunis mosque misunderstands Islam, says artists who create blasphemous works are "infidel" and should "be killed and their blood be spilled"

This imam manifests the totalitarian impulse within Islamic law. Totalitarian systems aim to control the very soul of the individual, and so individual expression that falls outside acceptable boundaries must be ruthlessly suppressed. The National Socialists in Germany are Sheikh Houcine Laabidi's spiritual kin. More on this story. "Tunis: Imam of Tunis mosque, Blasphemous artists must die," from ANSAmed, June 15 (thanks to Lachlan):

(ANSAmed) - TUNIS, JUNE 15 - As the city of Tunis recovers amid tensions from the wave of Salafi violence of the past days, a video is doing the rounds of the web in which Cheich Houcine Laabidi, the Imam of the Zitouna mosque, the most important mosque in the Maghreb, states that artist [sic] who create blasphemous works are "infidel" and therefore should "be killed and their blood be spilled".

The wave of Salafi violence was triggered by an exhibition in an art gallery in Marsa (a municipality in the North of the capital), of works considered to be insulting of Islam and an attack on correct behaviour. The request to kill the artists involved was reiterated three times by Mr Laabidi during a sermon he delivered yesterday.

The mosque of Zitouna has only recently been authorised to recommence its teaching activities, after its school was marginalised first by Bourghiba and then by Ben Ali.(ANSAmed).

Acts of incitement--let them try doing that in an American jurisdiction. Thank God that we have criminal and civil penalties for those who do here.

If they had understood us, if they had not been blinded by their hate, their religion, and their sheer thirst for blood, they would not have targeted either the World Trade Center or the Pentagon.

They would not have bothered with anything in DC, at all.

This would have been their target.

This is the real symbol of America.

Every time I see a picture of New York with the lady dominating the harbor I am so glad they just don’t get it, at all.

What a blow that would have been!

Not war.

Not commerce.

Lady Liberty.

That’s our home.

This is the video:

And the comment: "Well said, Imam, these dirty French-speaking traitors must understand that Tunisia is a Muslim country."

The idiot National Socialists condemned Franz Marc as "degenerate." Here's a nice one of Marc's:

Horse in a Landscape.

OH, the old Islamic death chant...."Charge 'em with blasphemy"....

Yes.

They don't 'get' what America - or the West - is about.

Something else to think about.

They took out, as you put it, Commerce (WTC) and the Pentagon (military).

And although they were targeting Government (more likely the Capitol than the White House, because of wanting to kill as many people as possible) they made that their third target..and the ordinary citizens on board Flt 93 figured that out, and sacrificed themselves to save...not just a good few of their fellow citizens, but the mundane, much-maligned meeting-place of Congresscritters and Senators. Because the Mohammedans forgot that among free non-Muslims government can be an idea: the Republic.

On the 10th September 2001 the WTC was in ruins, so was the Pentagon, but the Capitol was untouched...because of the actions of a few ordinary Americans.

Yes, the Capitol was the likely eventual target of Flight 93.

The evidence is that the White House was the original target of AA Flight 77. The terrorists apparently circled Washington as if they were looking for and debating about a target, and only then did they put the airliner into the Pentagon.

When you look at aerial photos of Washington you can see that the White House is rather small and is surrounded on three sides by larger Federal buildings, and on the fourth is partially blocked by the Washington Monument. An attack on the building by aircraft can be done on only a couple of narrow headings, so such an attack with a fast moving airliner would have required a higher degree of piloting skill than the terrorists possessed.

So, had Flight 93 made it to Washington they would have seen the burning Pentagon. The terrorists would probably had looked for the White House and then moved on to an easier target, the Capitol being the next likely target.

But Fl 93 would not have made it. Read this and play the audios:

http://www.rutgerslawreview.com/2011/full-audio-transcript/

It is only a matter of time before adherents of the religion of peace, justice, and tolerance (attempt to) burn down the Louvre or the British Museum.

I think my point remains valid.

I think it's not certain just which target in Washington, DC that Ziad Jarrah and his henchmen had planned to strike.
But I think you're right that the capitol would've been their easiest approach. Jarrah was probably the best "pilot" among them--but not sure he was good enough for the approach to the White House. Timing was pretty important that day. UA 93 was enough later than the first three that the passengers were alerted via cell-phone conversations to what had happened earlier. And, you're so right; once brave Americans like Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick and Tom Burnett knew the game, there was NO WAY that aircraft was getting to Washington! Heroic men, heroic deeds; may they never be forgotten...

Or the Uffizi.

Or the Rijksmuseum.

Or any number of others.
