Another installment of the Know Your Enemy series: All this drivel (below) is from a muslim living in the comfort that a (mostly) free U.K. provides him. If his own words (highlighted in red) were true, he'd be long dead and not talking to anyone... Ken Bigley deserves to be beheaded, says Muslim convert By Nabanita Sircar London, September 24
Khalid Kelly, a Mulsim convert, has caused outrage by declaring that Ken Bigley, the British engineer held hostage in Iraq and under threat of being beheaded by his captors, deserved to die.
Bigley's family has been issuing emotional appeals to the captors asking them to spare his life. Bigley himself sent a moving appeal to Tony Blair to help in his release. He said he did not deserve to die. In the midst of all this, Kelly has caused utter dismay by saying the Brit engineer in Iraq was a "legitimate target". Kelly, called fanatic by some, also praised Abu Musab al-Zarqawi who has been threatening to behead Bigley.
Those who know Kelly are not surprised. He is the spokesman for the fanatical British Al-Muhajiroun group, which crowed over the September 11 attacks. Kelly was quoted saying: "Bigley has no one to blame but himself. I've no sympathy with him whatsoever. He is not innocent. He is there fighting with the Americans. What are people complaining about? This is a wartime situation."
Dublin-born Kelly, who lives in a £190,000 terrace house, is a follower of cleric Omar Bakri Mohammad, who has been indulging in anti-Western tirades.
Kelly's remark "Al-Zarqawi sees every non-Muslim in Iraq as a legitimate target and he is not wrong," has angered moderate Muslims. Inayat Bunglawala, of the Muslim Council of Great Britain, said: "Kelly's total lack of compassion for an elderly man is utterly despicable. The fact that he shows no sympathy exposes the bankruptcy of his own soul." www.hindustantimes.com/news/5983_1023464,00430005.htm
