In this clip, a British Muslim cleric praises the videotaped beheading murder of British hostage Ken Bigley as an act of war, says Bigley embraced Islam before he was slaughtered—then jokes about it. You may need to double up on your blood pressure meds before watching this, and remove throwable objects from the vicinity of your computer display.

The face of evil: imperviously stupid and violent.

Rusty points out that another video shot at the same time shows recently-arrested terror supporter Omar Brooks, aka Abu Izzadeen, sitting next to this cleric (off-camera here), which means these Muslims are probably followers of Omar Bakri.

And Rusty’s right on target with these comments:

In the video, the speaker justifies Kenneth Bigley’s murder on the grounds that Bigley was in Iraq to help fix military hardware which would then be used to “kill Muslims”. This is not true. Kenneth Bigley, Jack Hensley, and Eugene Armstrong were in Iraq to work on civilian reconstruction efforts. They were there helping Muslims. It is al Qaeda in Iraq that continues to murder Muslims to this day.

The speaker then says Bigley was in Iraq to “steal the money of the Muslims”. Which, of course, is also patently untrue. Ken Bigley was being paid by the U.S. government to help the Iraqis rebuild their country so that Muslims in Iraq would have a functioning economy so that they could earn money for themselves. It is those that murdered Ken Bigley that steal money from Muslims by blowing up Iraq’s infrastructure.

The speaker, in what seems to be a bit of “humor”, warns that people involved in the reconstruction effort—or, as he deems it, “stealing from Muslims”—-should “mind your head”. No doubt, a reference to the dozens of civilians beheaded by al Qaeda and other jihadi groups in Iraq.

Last, even though Bigley “converted” to Islam at the point of a knife, the speaker reiterates that since Islam forbids forced conversions, then Bigley must have become a Muslim of his own free will. See if you follow that sick and twisted logic? And if that is the case, even though the speaker does not say it in this video, those listening would undoubtedly understand another reason why his murder was “justified”. To the Salafi jihadi mind, Muslims helping the U.S. and U.K. in Iraq are “traitors”.
