Here is another case of dhimmitude coming to the UK. Islamic law stipulates that a dhimmi who does not behave respectfully toward a Muslim voids his contract of “protection.” Riaz Burahee probably thought that 92 threatening phone calls was a perfectly reasonable response to an insult from a Jew. It reminds me of a recent incident in which a Christian church in the U.S. was sending out flyers inviting people to attend. A Muslim called the pastor in hot anger, telling him never to send him such material again — and repeating again and again that he had “no right” to send him such a thing in the first place. And the church indeed had no right to do so, from the standpoint of the laws of the dhimma, which have become ingrained into Middle Eastern culture and so still frame interaction between Muslims and non-Muslims in many areas.
From SkyNews, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
A Muslim man bombarded synagogues with telephone calls for three days threatening to kill, rape and blow up Jews.
Riaz Burahee, 25, of Edmonton, north London, who has photographs of Osama bin Laden at his home, admitted 10 offences.
Wood Green Crown Court heard Burahee told police he made the calls because he had been insulted by a Jew.
The court heard he had made as many as 92 calls, telling people to leave the building or be bombed.
Burahee, who described himself as a Muslim with strong religious beliefs, said he had no links to terrorism.
Photographs of Bin Laden and militant US civil rights activist Malcolm X were found in his room.
