Radical Islam in North Carolina
Sat, Jun 7, 2008 at 7:53:25 pm PDT
Samir Khan, the North Carolina Al Qaeda sympathizer who runs a web site that features video clips of US soldiers being killed, apparently has supporters in the local mosque—and among the local moonbats: Muslim Extremist’s Web Site Stirs Mixed Emotions in Charlotte, N.C.
Abdullah Mahmud, an acquaintance of Khan’s who attends the same mosque, the Islamic Center of Greater Charlotte, defended Khan’s viewpoints, saying his anger stems from the United States’ foreign policy and occupation of Iraq.
Mahmoud said the blood-drenched videos Khan shows of U.S. soldiers injured in combat “serve the purpose of making the reality of the Iraqi scene visible to people.”
“Those videos are not much different than videos involving American soldiers targeting Iraqi civilians,” he said. “You have to look at both sides here.”
One of Khan’s neighbors, Ron Williams, also defended Khan’s right to free speech.
“Our actions (in Iraq) were interpreted broadly in the Muslim world as an attack on Islam,” Williams said, “I defend his right to speak out.”
