| Brigitte's cleric sez Binny's innocent |
| 2004-03-23 |
| Abdul Salam Zoud, the Lakemba imam who presided over the Islamic union of French terrorism suspect Willy Brigitte and former Australian soldier Melanie Brown, still doesn't buy the Osama bin Laden theory. "He's not a terrorist in my view. I don't believe yet he did what the Americans said. I swear by God, by Allah . . . I reject [bin Laden's culpability in the attacks on the US on September 11, 2001]." A classified dossier compiled by France's anti-terrorism judge Jean-Louis Bruguiere names Shiek Zoud as the chief recruiter for a terrorist network operating in Australia. The headquarters for this jihad is supposedly the Haldon Street prayer hall, where Sheik Zoud is the spiritual head. He is not the only one questioning the central claims in the French dossier, published in The Daily Telegraph yesterday. Brigitte's lawyer, Jean-Claude Durimel, says allegations his client knew of any terrorist plot to attack Australia were the result of "a lot of imagination. I was at all the interrogations of Mr Brigitte and he has never said he was aware of a project for an attack or whatever." Sheik Zoud moved on to sermonising, under the Hills Hoist in his south-west Sydney backyard, about Australians' need to work together to fight terrorism. Threatening the cold shoulder for reporters who misquoted or took his words out of context, he answered questions put to him as follows: Do you think there are any terrorist cells, planning or activities in Sydney? |

| #1 Zoud has learned "Aussie speak" nicely. "Let the Australian people relax . . .Why everyone make the Australian people scared from the Muslms? " (Yeah. Aussies just want to party. No worries! Nothing happened in Bali . . . ) Funny thing to say in a world where he definitely knows that many of his fellow Moslems would terrorize Australia if they could only get the chance. (Who doesn't know that! Especially in Australia?) I just hope Zoud has underestimated the Aussies. Personal observation: These arab guys love, love, love to talk, talk, talk, and they rely on primitive rhetorical bases for their social manipulations. What they say is geared toward getting an emotional response from the other person. 1) Example: Zoud says "I don't know who he (Abu Dahdah) is. (**here it comes, guys **) Do you think every Muslim knows every Muslim over the world. Do you know all the Christians?" 2) Desired response would be something like: "Well, gee, no I don't Mr. Zoud. And how could I ever have thought that every Muslim knows every Muslim in the world. I see what you mean. Silly me! I'm so stupid. I guess you're okay, Mr. Zoud. Sorry to have troubled you." 3) Key: the questioner never assumed that Zoud would know "every" Muslim in the world. That's not why they asked the question. Zoud uses the question to try and legitimize his supposed innocence and ignorance by "scolding" the questioner and using the scolding as a platform of safety for himself. I wouldn't be surprised if brainwashed antiwar goes to Zoud's little gig in Sydney. |
