We often hear that Islamic moderates should speak out against the radicals.
After listening to Islamic radicals in London as interviewed by Clarissa Ward on 60 Minutes last night the thought occurred to me that it is the radicals themselves to which we should be listening. By listening to them we can hear shocking examples of their extremism including anti-democratic and freedom ideology.
For example, there is Anjem Choudary who is a Syria and Iraq Lawyer turned Islamic cleric. Anjem Choudary is a Islamic radical who lives in London and allegedly recruits British citizens for battlefields in Syria and Iraq.
Anjem Choudary remarks include the following,
I believe Islam is superior. And will not be surpassed. So I believe that the law of God is much superior to man-made law.
Allah is the only one to legislate. So, obviously, in that sense it's completely, diametrically opposed. You cannot have man legislating and playing God in Parliament, and at the same time believe that Allah is the only legislator.
If you missed the 60 Minutes program last night check out the link above to hear the type of radical Islamic messages which are successfully recruiting young fighters from the West.
