Mali: Jihad leader sentenced to death for terrorism says ‘I am not a terrorist; I am leading the jihad’

Nov 17, 2020 4:00 pm By Robert Spencer 11 Comments

This distinction is important to keep in mind when you hear Muslim spokesmen in the West condemning terrorism. They may genuinely reject and abhor jihad violence, but if they don’t specify what they mean by “terrorism,” they may not be referring to or condemning jihad violence at all.

“Mali: Ansar Dine leader Souleymane Keita, others sentenced to death for terrorism,’ by Wale Odunsi, Daily Post Nigeria, November 16, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

A Malian jihadist leader, Souleymane Keita has been sentenced to death for terrorism….

Keita expressed no regret for his actions, insisting that their fight was against Mali’s secularism.

“If I have the possibility, I will start again. I am not a terrorist; I am leading the jihad at the border between Mali, Burkina Faso and Côte d’Ivoire, in the name of Ansar Dine,” he said.

Ansar Dine aka Ansar al-Din seeks to impose strict Sharia law across Mali.

It was founded by Iyad Ag Ghaly, who is suspected of have ties to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM).

    May Keita leave our world and dance on the fires of hell for his evil. May France and the UK sentence these devils to death much more frequently . The UK will probably do nothing because they are under the total influence of Nazi-Islam.

      Neither the UK or France have the death penalty.

    I remain mystified why any black human being would willingly be a Muslim. Islam castrated black male slaves by the millions—and over many centuries. Mohammed himself made denigrating comments about blacks—“raisinheads” and “pug-nosed creatures”—.

    Islam has functioned, and still functions, as an instrument of Arab supremacy. No group of human beings has been harmed more by Islam over the centuries than have blacks. And while blacks have certainly been grievously harmed by the West, the West was the first civilization to realize that slavery of any kind was deeply wrong, ended it, and has apologized for it profusely.

    When has the Islamic world sincerely indicated slavery as a great evil, what has it done to end it, and where is its apologies for engaging in it from some eight centuries before the West ever did?

    It is my irrevocable conviction that any willing adult who is a Muslim is at best a fool. But adult blacks who willingly are Muslim are, I must conclude, extra foolish. There is no accounting why any black adult would want to be a Muslim.

    To further sustain this point of mine, here it is: some 400,000 blacks were enslaved and who were brought to what is now the USA. By contrast, Islam over the centuries is responsible for the enslavement of at least 100,000,000 million blacks (and remember, with males castrated which the West did not engage in).

    What the Hell? WTF?

    He can call himself what he likes – rational people will call him what he is – a barbaric butcher on the point of dying. He may think there are some stupid virgins waiting for him but,in fact, he will be dead – kapput – fini – a decomposing piece of flesh feeding the maggots.

    ………………..

    This is what Muslims mean when they say they “condemn terrorism”–they don’t count Jihad terror which is most of ther terror in the world.
