Irish Muslim radical says Americans should be grateful more people didn't die in Boston

2013-04-29

An Irish Muslim who once threatened to kill Barack Obama has refused to condemn the Boston bombers and claimed they gave Americans 'a taste of their own medicine'.

Khalid Kelly, a 46-year-old from Dublin, made the controversial remarks in an exclusive interview with the Irish Sun newspaper. In the course of the interview, he refused to condemn Chechen terror brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for the attack which killed three people including an eight-year-old boy.

Nicknamed Taliban Terry, Kelly told the paper that he was not surprised by the attack, the first on US soil since 9/11. And he told Americans to be glad nobody else had died in the marathon bomb.

Kelly said: "Thousands of Muslims are being killed every day from Syria to Afghanistan. A lot of them are being murdered at the hands of the Americans, and they never have a minute's silence.

"Where are the tears for these people? Three people get killed and they have a big day of remembrance. They should remember the people they are killing.

"This is a war and they should be thankful that it wasn't more."

That last is the key. If this is indeed war, dear Mr. Kelly, you should be grateful your dead are not piled in heaps -- we can do that easily enough, while your side's best efforts resulted in three pot bombs which only succeeded in killing three people. You would be wise to ponder why Dr. Fadl concluded that to wage this war is to go against Allah's own will.

#4 Taliban Terry from Dublin, haha, what an assclown. I have to imagine Friday nights are rough on him in Dublin between the locals and the Poles drinking it up & having a good craic.

#3 But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy's buildings, and he destroys one of your countries?

Why, that kinda sounds like a justification for Iraq to me...except it shoulda been Soddy Arabia.

#2 From an essay in the Belmont Club on Dr. Fadl, former theologian for Al Qaeda:

One senior Egyptian cleric regarded as the model of Islamic moderation by Westerners told Wright that he understood Fadl's change of heart because one had to adapt to the times. "We accept the revisions conditionally, not as the true teachings of Islam but with the understanding that this process is like medicine for a particular time". Dr. Fadl located the roots of his newfound pacifism much more directly:

"People hate America, and the Islamist movements feel their hatred and their impotence. Ramming America has become the shortest road to fame and leadership among the Arabs and Muslims. But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemys buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of yours? . . . That, in short, is my evaluation of 9/11."
