| Firebrand Islamic academic: 'dying for your beliefs is just' |
| 2006-08-20 |
| h/t LGF A British-based Muslim radical appeared to back suicide bombing yesterday when he claimed that dying for your beliefs was 'just'. Dr Azzam Tamimi told an 8,000-strong crowd that standing up for your principles was the 'greatest act of martyrdom'. The 51-year-old was speaking at the ExpoIslamia convention in Manchester. The Palestinian-born academic - who previously boasted he would carry out a suicide bombing in Israel - also repeated his public backing for Hamas, which remains banned in the UK. He said: "The greatest act of martyrdom is standing up for what is true and just. Martyrs are those who stand up and stand up in defiance of George Bush and Tony Blair. You stand up to them and you say desist. Stop this injustice. Stop this oppression." Dr Tamimi claimed the war on terrorism was a war on Islam. "We are Muslims in Europe, not European Muslims," he added. "Being fair and just means finding the middle path. The middle path is not rubbing shoulders with Tony Blair and George Bush." The crowd erupted with cheering and applause when he said that Israel had been defeated by Hezbollah. He continued: "Hamas is making sacrifices for you. We tell this government Hamas is not a terrorist group. It is elected by the people of Palestine. We are not terrorists. We are defenders of the truth. Fighting those who invade Muslims is a just cause. "The government is trying to turn the war on terror into the war on Islam." In November 2004, Dr Tamimi told the BBC that he was prepared to be a suicide bomber if the opportunity arose. In an interview which was roundly condemned, he said that 2sacrificing myself for Palestine was a noble cause. It is the straight way to pleasing my God and I would do it if I had the opportunity". Dr Tamimi, a prominent member of the Stop The War coalition, is married with three children and lives in Willesden, North West London. After coming to Britain from the Middle East more than 30 years ago, he and his family have become British citizens and live in a council block. He has repeatedly spoken out in support of Hamas and described their suicide bomb tactics as 'the courage of man'. In July 2004, he invited the radical Sheikh Yusuf Al Qaradawi to the UK. Al Qaradawi, who spoke at a taxpayer subsidised conference in London - has called for a war on Jews and the execution of homosexuals. The tolerance of the RoP. |

| #11 The 51-year-old was speaking at the ExpoIslamia convention in Manchester. Slight correction ... The 51-year-old was speaking at the ExploIslamia convention in Manchester. There, all better. Dr Tamimi claimed the war on terrorism was a war on Islam. "We are Muslims in Europe, not European Muslims," he added. Final question. Why is Tamimi still breathing? These are exactly the sort of instigators that need to begin catching acute cases of swift onset lead poisoning. Only when these murderous scumbags must first look over their shoulder before spewing such atrocious bile will we have begun to make progress. |

| #9 Two reasons Barb, #1. he fits the muzzie acedemian exclusionary rule (got to lead the 8000 to their deaths first). #2. At age 51 he's too damn old for virgins. 51 in muzzie years is about 95 in upright primates. |

| #6 "We are Muslims in Europe, not European Muslims," THERE is the problem, out in the open and spoken by a muzzie. They have no loyalty to the place where they live, or the laws that govern that place. They need to be rounded up and shipped back to where they came from, with an indellible tattoo that will restrict their travels to only islamic lands. Nothing else will work. |

| #4 trying to turn the war on terror into the war on Islam. Is there a difference? Islam is based in terrorism. Mo was a terrorist. |
