Imprisoned Hamza prematurely hailed as a martyr by supporters
2004-05-28
RADICAL Muslim cleric Abu Hamza was hailed as a martyr yesterday after he was locked up in a top security prison.
"Oh, nobody knows the trouble he's seeeeeen!"
His supporters declared the US and British governments corrupt as they gathered outside north London’s Finsbury Park mosque for prayers.
"God, please kill them all!"
They vowed undying support for Hamza, who is facing extradition to the US on kidnapping and terrorism charges. Watched by uniformed police, a spokesman told about 70 British Muslims that Hamza is an "unswerving symbol of truth against falsehood, tyranny and oppression". He claimed that it would be impossible for Hamza to get a fair trial.
"Nope. Nope. Ain't gonna happen. Take my word for it!"
"The shameful and heavy-handed arrest of Sheikh Abu Hamza has proven unequivocally that any Muslim who speaks out against idolatry, corruption, oppression, Zionism and Christian fanaticism is subject to arrest," he said in a ten-minute statement. "The lie of the so-called freedom of speech and liberalism has been fully exposed. The sheikh has one eye and one arm. He also suffers from diabetes and high blood pressure, so where is your human compassion?"
Where the f&%k is Hamza’s so-called "human compassion?"
The spokesman announced that next week, after Friday prayers, they will march on the US embassy in central London in protest at Hamza’s arrest.
"Mr. Second Under-Vice Secretary, there is a crowd of men with turbans outside the fence."
"Really? What are they doing?"
"Jumping up and down and making faces, sir."
The embassy is now considered by Hamza’s followers as the new head of the British government, he said. The spokesman said that Hamza remains a great man to Muslims and compared his plight to Falkland war hero Simon Weston. "Imagine the public outcry if Simon Weston, who was badly burned and considered a British hero during the British war to liberate the Malvinas, was treated the same," he said. "The sheikh has become an unswerving symbol of truth against falsehood, tyranny and oppression," he added, while claiming to be astounded that Hamza has been "arrested and threatened with execution for highlighting war crimes".
Patience, please. First things first. We’ll snuff him just as soon as we’re able to. Extradition to begin with, then the "regrettable prison accident."
We can't snuff him. The Brits can't extradite him unless we agree not to. We'll have to keep him in solitary until he dies. For his own protection, of course.

#1  Fair is fair. Perhaps we should try him by some Christian version of Sharia Law. If found guilty of blasphemy, idolatry, and witchcraft, he should also be punished with an equivalent Christian 6th century punishment. Just as the Sharia Law he advocates punishes people today with 6th century punishments.

I think burning at the stake would be about par.
