"Moderate Muslim head of UK TV channel held on terror claims"

"U.K. Islamic TV head held on terror claims," from UPI, January 26 (thanks to Block Ness):

SNIPPET: "PRETORIA, South Africa, Jan. 26 (UPI) -- The head of Britain's popular Muslim television station was arrested in South Africa and faces deportation to Tunisia on terrorism claims, officials said.

Mohamed Ali Harrath, the force behind Britain's Islam Channel, was arrested Sunday in what some said was a security clampdown in South Africa in the months leading up to the 2010 World Cup soccer championship, The Times of London reported Tuesday."

U.K.: Counterterror advisor to Metropolitan Police is on Interpol wanted list

A man wanted by Interpol for his links to an alleged terrorist organisation has been advising Scotland Yard on countering Muslim extremism, a Times investigation has discovered.

Mohamed Ali Harrath has been the subject of the Interpol red notice since 1992 because of his alleged activities in Tunisia, where he co-founded the Tunisian Islamic Front (FIT).

Tunisia has accused Mr Harrath, the chief executive officer of the Islam Channel in Britain and an adviser to the Scotland Yard Muslim Contact Unit, of seeking help from Osama bin Laden. It says that the FIT wants to establish “an Islamic state by means of armed revolutionary violence”. Mr Harrath has been convicted in absentia of numerous criminal and terrorism-related offences by Tunisian courts and sentenced to 56 years in prison. Tunisia is an ally of the West in the fight against terrorism but is regarded by critics as a police or one-party state. Its secular Government regards those who advocate an Islamic state as a threat to its stability.

I am being driven to think that unless an Islamic follower openly, and publicly disavows Jihad and violence, they are to be considered suspect. I include Black Muslims in that assessment also.

he’s merely a “moderate” kind of terrorist enabler

or maybe a “moderate” kind of traitor and subversive

or simply a “moderate” kind of jihadist

I’m driven to believe that even a lot of the ones who disavow violent jihad are not to be trusted for an instant -— lying to us infidels is all too common and is endorsed by the Koran

I include the ones in all branches of the U.S. Military as well. There are Black Muslims (and other Muslims) serving on U.S. Navy ships and in other branches.

A moderate muslim is one who is out of ammo.

[Moltke]

Watch the UK intervene on his behalf so that he won’t get deported to Tunesia. They’re that far gone...

At least he didn’t cut off his wife’s head like our moderate TV Muslims do.

[expatpat]

I’m convinced there is nos uch thing as a moderate Muslim. He may not want to cut your head off YET, but he is committed to Islam taking over the world.
