Australian jihadist "took orders from bin Laden"

David Hicks is yet another convert to Islam who misunderstood his new religion as teaching violence against the unbelievers, and joined the jihad. "Hicks 'took orders from bin Laden,'" from AAP, with thanks to Fjordman:

DAVID Hicks, who has today spent five years in detention at Guantanamo Bay, was a fully fledged al-Qaeda operative who took orders from Osama bin Laden, US prosecutors say.

Colonel Morris Davis, chief prosecutor for the US Office of Military Commissions, has dismissed any notion of Hicks as a young and naive adventurer.

“David Hicks attended basic training, the al-Qaeda basic training, (and) went back for repeated advance courses in terrorism,” Colonel Davis told Fairfax.

“He knew and associated with a number of al-Qaeda senior leadership. He conducted surveillance on the US embassy and other embassies.

“He eventually left Afghanistan and it's my understanding was heading back to Australia when 9/11 happened.

“When he heard about 9/11, he said it was a good thing (and) he went back to the battlefield, back to Afghanistan, and reported in to the senior leadership of al-Qaeda and basically said, 'I'm David Hicks and I'm reporting for duty'.”

That act or "reporting for duty" is enough to earn him a rope, IMHO, but please let no one humiliate him or violate his "constitutional rights" in prison, oh no!

Yep, a rope is just what this worm deserves.

apologies to all worms for equating this scum to them.

"“David Hicks attended basic training, the al-Qaeda basic training, (and) went back for repeated advance courses in terrorism,”

....Now I am confused. The Dems tell us we have jailed civilians who were probably just farmers caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.....

Happy anniversary, punk. May you spend another 50 years at Gitmo, traitorous loser.

Islam-1400 years of misunderstandings and counting.

Hicks, or 'Mohammed Daoud', the name he chose after his conversion- is a traitor to his country and his people, he is an insult to our culture & civilization, a PoS in human form and the only choice he should ever have is between a rope and a bullet.

And the turd that fathered him, the cretin that runs from one TV-channel to the next, this obnoxious fool pretending to be a man, who got every lefty loony judge and shyster to smear the US for keeping his would be assassin-son behind bars:

Let him pay for the rope, let him pay for the bullet and the cremation of this vermin that he calls his son!

What has become of us? Are we all gone soft in the head? Is PC and misguided humanitarian BS the poison that brings about the end of Western civilization?

How about David Hicks taking a side order from Saddam Hussein's hanging as his next duty assignment. These psychotics will never be changed no more than pedophiles will as Muhammed was in marrying a 6 year old girl.
Hang him and make him happy until he finds out hell is hot as God has no paradise for terrorists making war on the world.

sheik yer'mami - yes, his real name now is Dawood, but the media never use that. Very rude of them.

Hicks is now a poster (or billboard ) boy for the nutty left....

Our 5th column just loves a killer.

I have heard he has become an apostate - any confirmations?

Sheik - you hit the nail on the head as usual.

My only fear is that if he is ever freed he will sue the OZ and US governments, get a book and movie deal, and appear on Oprah who will no doubt fawn all over him, like she did with a would-be pally female suicide bomber that the Israelis intercepted and thus saved her life!

Pathetic.

He is now being compared to the Bali bombers.
Good. Sadly those creeps who were sentenced to death are all still appealing ther sentences. I thought they would have been happy???

Hanging is too easy and quick. I have a better idea: They should suspend him upside down in manacles, smear him with honey, and then pour fire ants all over him.....

It remains, I suspect, a real struggle for many Australians to accept that someone who looks like them, speaks like them and (presumably) thinks like them could end up wasting away in a US military prison on charges amounting to full-blooded treason. I would have been amongst the naive majority, even to this day, had I not learned that we must never judge a book by its cover... especially in times of war, especially if the title of that cover spells Qu'ran.

I have no doubt about Hicks' full knowledge of and complicity with the 'philosophy' of al Quaeda and its practical applications in the real world. He would have been seen as a real asset in Australian-ising the Muslim assault on this big brown land of ours. The alternative to Hicks is Hilali, or Hicks' dear old dad, who either did not know his son at all or follows in Hilali's footsteps by lying through his teeth.

Australians are waking up, but more clarification is needed, that shows clearly the true nature of taquiya, the real intent of Islam wherever it might be found and the true character of those who choose to follow the orders of men who, like bin Laden and Arafat and Husseini and Nasrallah and Ellison, would see the crescent moon ride proudly over the great symbols of freedom wherever they may be found.
