London, England – Muslim cleric Mizanur Rahman aka Abu Baraa has come out in support of last week’s terrorist attacks in Paris that left 17 people dead. In fact, the radical Islamist wasted no time in praising the attacks.
His support of Al Qaida was once again evident. Within hours of the murderous assault launching, Rahman affirmed that the shedding of innocent blood is the only possible outcome for anyone insulting Islam and in particular the religion’s founding prophet, Mohammad.
As offensive as his support of the terrorists is, it isn’t the first time he has spewed a words supportive of violence. Last year, he challenged media accounts of the Boko Haram’s abduction of 300 high school age girls. He claimed that the media was fabricating the stories of their mistreatment to fit a narrative that the Muslim men of Boko Haram were sexually assaulting the teenage girls.
He said the group, with known ties to Al Qaida, was showing far more restraint than the government did to Muslim women. In addition, Rahman has called for American and British troop’s station in Iraq to return home in body bags. His messages are quite detailed. Authorities are concerned that his incendiary remarks will incite further violence by his followers.
He calls for British soldiers to be killed in action led to him receiving a six year prison sentence back in 2007. Sadly, his time in prison did nothing to rehabilitate him. Instead, he continues to espouse violence against non-Muslims. It is unclear if his current remarks will lead to new charges being filed against him.
