Mad Mullahs
Radical Britich Muslim
"Imagine you have only one small knife ... you have to stab him here and there until he bleeds to death, until he dies," al-Masri said on the tape played for jurors at London's Central Criminal Court. The speech was delivered in late 1997 or early 1998, prosecutor David Perry told jurors.
On the videotape, al-Masri tells his audience that some elements of Western society must be considered legitimate targets of violence.
"Every place of iniquity, every brothel ... for the victorious party is a target," al-Masri said as he sat behind a table draped with a banner marked "Al-Jihad."
I'm sure they'll undertand it in the context it was meant.
