Terror-Supporting Islamist Finds 'Humor' In Saying '9-11, 7-7, 3-11' During Mic Check Before CNN Interview
By Tom Blumner, Aug. 31, 2014, Newsbusters.org
When last seen in coverage at NewsBusters, Anjem Choudary was sparring with Sean Hannity while claiming that ISIS atrocities are a Western "falsehood" and that one day Islamic Sharia will be implemented "in the whole world one day."
Before getting to his latest stunt on CNN's Reliable Sources program with host Brian Stelter, it's important to provide some context, simply because Choudary described at Wikipedia as a "Muslim social and political activist" has already said that "if you had a sense of humor, maybe you would have laughed" at how he conducted the mic check before his interview.
Choudary's Wikipedia entry indicates that he "praised those responsible for the 11 September 2001 and 7 July 2005 attacks." More specifically (still-active links added to replace Wikipedia's footnotes; bolds are mine throughout this post):
Choudary referred to the 11 September terrorists as "magnificent martyrs", and in 2003 he appeared to endorse terrorist attacks by British Muslims, saying that al-Muhajiroun would "encourage people to fulfil their Islamic duties and responsibilities". In 2004 he said that a terror attack on British soil was "a matter of time". He refused to condemn the 7 July 2005 London bombings, but later accused the Muslim Council of Britain (who had condemned both attacks) of "selling their souls to the devil".
So it is established truth that Choudary believes that those who carried out the 9-11 attacks were heroic and that he would not condemn the July 7, 2005 London bombings. In that context, readers can now seek to identify the "humor" in the following exchange near the end of the video below, starting at the 9:26 mark (HT Mediaite via Twitchy):
