Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK jihad murderer converted to Islam after watching sermons by American Muslim preacher

This typically moronic Daily Mail article presents what Khalid Yasin says about killing gays and beating women as if it were his own eccentric — “hijacked,” no doubt — version of Islam. Yasin, the clueless Daily Mail tells us, “claims that the Koran gives men permission to “˜beat women lightly” and thinks all Muslims should shun anyone who does not follow their faith.”

In reality, this is not just Yasin’s “claim” — the Qur’an does indeed say this: “Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that God has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for God’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them” (4:34). Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s popular English translation adds “lightly” after “beat them,” but that word is not in the Arabic original.

“Revealed, the U.S. hate preacher who inspired murderer of Lee Rigby: Killer tells how he became a Muslim after watching Islamic hardliner’s sermons,” by Chris Greenwood for the Daily Mail, December 30:

One of the Woolwich killers decided to convert to Islam after being inspired by a hate preacher who advocates killing gays and beating women, he has revealed in a letter.

Michael Adebowale, 22, said that lectures posted online by notorious firebrand cleric Sheikh Khalid Yasin taught him the “˜purpose of life”.

In the note written from Belmarsh Prison, he said he made the decision to convert to Islam in 2009 — around the same time that he was serving half of a 15-month sentence for supplying heroin.

The letter, which uses his prisoner number A0882CY, is dated December 20 — the day after he was convicted of Lee Rigby”s murder.

“˜The title of this lecture is called “What is the Purpose of Life?” After hearing this I had to conclude that the purpose of life is to acknowledge and worship the creator.”

Yasin, who calls the Taliban his “˜brothers”, has been given free rein to tour the world and spread his vile views — stopping off in countries including Britain and the US.

Linked to the hardline Wahhabi branch of Islam, he has previously denounced both Christian and Jewish beliefs as “˜filth” and believes there can be no such thing as gender equality.

He claims that the Koran gives men permission to “˜beat women lightly” and thinks all Muslims should shun anyone who does not follow their faith.

He has also called homosexuality an “˜aberration” that should be “˜punishable by death”.

    Superb blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?

    I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost
    on everything. Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress
    or go for a paid option? There are so many options out there that I’m
    completely overwhelmed .. Any tips? Thanks a lot!

    I tend not to leave a response, but I browsed a great deal of comments on this page UK
    jihad murderer converted to Islam after watching sermons by American Muslim
    preacher : Jihad Watch. I do have a few questions for you
    if it’s allright. Is it just me or do some of the responses appear as if
    they are left by brain dead individuals? 😛 And, if you are writing on other online social sites, I would like to follow you.
    Would you make a list of every one of all your social networking sites like your twitter
    feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?
