Islamic Cleric on "Sanctity of Life"

Submitted by Mike Ramirez (United States), Jun 19, 2013 at 08:13

Michael, the following comments by an Islamic cleric pretty much sum up exactly what you stated. Here is a quote from an article published in 2004 by Reuters: 4/18/2004 (bold, mine)

"It's inevitable. Because several (attacks) are being prepared by several groups," Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad told Lisbon's Publica magazine from London where he is based.
He added: "We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents. Only between Muslims and unbelievers! And the life of an unbeliever has no value. It has no sanctity!."

Muhammad proclaimed that this world was made for him and his followers and commanded Muslims to fight the "unbelievers" until the whole world submitted to Islam. That's the situation we are in right now even if our very own "politically correct" leaders remain in denial and are afraid to admit it.
