Yet still Muslim groups in the West, despite their claims to reject the idea that Islam teaches warfare against unbelievers, do nothing to prevent Muslims from getting the crazy idea that it does teach that. “6 Muslims found guilty on terrorism charges,” from Geo.TV, June 26 (thanks to David):
BRUSSELS: Six Muslims have been found guilty on charges of terrorism. The leaders of the gang received 11 and 8 years’ imprisonment, others were given penalties up to 5 years.
The suspects spread messages of hatred and were talking about possible bomb attacks in Belgium, judges argued.
7 people had to defend themselves against charges of terrorism. All of them had links with a radical mosque in Molenbeek, Brussels. One of them also travelled to Iraq to take part in the “Holy War” against the West a couple of years ago.
When he returned, he and his friends tried to convince other Muslims to take up the arms and take part in the war. For that purpose, they used a website, spreading messages of hatred. During tapped telephone conversations, they talked about bomb attacks in Belgium. The court found this unacceptable, and decided to inflict heavy punishments.
The lawyer of one of the leaders was not too preoccupied. He told reporters that his client is presently in Syria, fighting the Assad regime, and suggested the court to arrest his client there.
One suspect was cleared of all charges. According to the court, he does have extremist ideas, but he was involved in the gang’s activities.
