This guy was actively calling upon Muslims to commit violence against members of Parliament. Once again, Pamela Geller said it best: “I anxiously await the same intense and extensive mainstream media coverage and obsession that we witnessed immediately after and in the ensuing days of the Norway massacre to determine the motivation behind this explosive plot at Fort Hood. I expect extremists Brian Williams, Anderson Cooper, the NY Times, LA Times, IHT, CNN, BBC, et al, to be just as rabidly obsessed and consumed with investigating what ideology incited this Muslim to recruit for jihad.”
Consider: why the double standard? A Norwegian psychopath cites the work of a number of people who point out a problem but have never remotely advocated violence as a solution to it, and suddenly these people are tarred in the international media as creating a climate of “hate” in which someone was inevitably going to “snap.” And what follows is an international media firestorm investigating what inspired this killer, with the finger pointed squarely at anti-jihad writers. This demonization campaign dovetails nicely with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation’s ongoing efforts to silence and criminalize honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence.
So now Bilal Ahmad has an actual death list and calls forthrightly for the murder of MPs. Is anyone going to investigate what inspired him? No, because such an investigation would lead directly back to the Qur’an and Sunnah, and no one wants to go there.
More on this story. “Muslim gets 12 years jail for encouraging fanatics on web site to attack MPs,” from the Daily Mirror, July 30:
AN extremist who urged Muslims to kill MPs for voting for the war in Iraq was sent to prison for 12 years yesterday.
IT graduate Bilal Ahmad, 24, called on fanatics to “raise the knife of Jihad” and listed the details of 365 MPs who supported military action.
He posted his comments on RevolutionMuslim.com — a site now taken down — the day after Roshonara Choudhry, 21, was jailed for trying to kill Labour MP Stephen Timms.
The MP survived the attack in May 2010 by the Muslim woman and she was given 15 years….
