SOEREN KERN: MOSLEM RADICAL WHO STABBED TWO POLICMEN IN GERMANY SHOWS NO REMORSE

http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/3406/germany-murat-stabbing

“It was not possible for him to show remorse,” Murat’s defense attorney said; “he believes he is right.”

An Islamist radical convicted of stabbing two German police officers during a protest against cartoons that were perceived as “offensive,” and has been sentenced to six years in prison.

Murat K, a 26-year-old German-born Salafist of Turkish heritage from the western state of Hessen, openly admitted that he had attacked and wounded the two police officers with a kitchen knife during the cartoon riots in May. He showed no remorse, however, during his trial at the district court in the city of Bonn; he said he had been morally obligated to follow Islamic Sharia law.

Murat, whose last name has not been made known to the general public due to German privacy laws, claimed that the attacks on the police officers were justified because the German state had allowed offensive images of the Prophet Mohammed to be shown in public. Many Muslims believe that according to Islamic law, it is forbidden to depict Mohammed in images.

During his trial, the judge — who allowed Murat to wear a black jihadist headband in court — asked the defendant whether it was necessary “to use violence to defend Islamic values.” Murat, who was born in the German town of Eschwege, and whose family has been living in Germany for decades, replied: “Yes, of course.”

The judge then asked him to “imagine you are a policeman and it is your job to ensure order. In your view, would you be a justified target?” Murat replied: “Yes. The German state allows caricatures of Mohammed to be shown, so the police are automatically involved.”

BILL SIEGEL: WHY TEAM OBAMA USED THE “BLAME VIDEO” TACTIC AFTER LIBYA ATTACK

http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2012/10/21/why-team-obama-used-blame-video-tactic-after-libya-attack/ Perhaps the most under-examined aspect of the blame-the-video story spun by President Obama’s administration following the Benghazi terror attacks is how easy the White House presumed it would be to sell. An acquiescent mainstream media has for years encouraged an arrogant administration to expect its full support, even it has been forced to acknowledge […]

AMIL IMANI: A PLAGUE OF SAVIORS

http://www.americanthinker.com/2012/10/a_plague_of_saviors_1.html Does humanity learn from its mistakes? The record doesn’t show it. Paging through history, time and again we find instances where people have ignored both facts and reason by entrusting their lives to a “savior” — a Marx, a Hitler, a Khomeini. And time and again we have ended up paying the price for […]
