Bombing suspects followed Harry Potter-hating Australian Sheikh

Four months ago, the deceased Boston bombing suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev (Suspect No.1), who was killed early Friday morning in a shootout with police, uploaded to his YouTube Channel an eight-minute lecture by the radical Australian Muslim preacher Sheikh Feiz Mohammed denouncing the Harry Potter movies for glorifying and promoting paganism.

“How can you allow your children to watch this?” the sheikh demands in the table-thumping lecture. “This film glorifies, magnifies, promotes paganism…What does Harry Potter do and his devilish schoolmates, what do they do? They cast spells, learn magic, brew potions, learn how to tell the future…And this is called harmless.”

He condemns the Harry Potter movies for being built on shirk -- the sin of worshipping someone or something other than Allah.

Sheikh Mohammed appears to have been a favorite intellectual source for Chechen-born Tsarnaev. On his YouTube playlist there are 19 online videos, all are on Islamic themes and four of them are lectures by Sheikh Mohammed, who first gained international notoriety in 2005 for teaching that women who were raped only had themselves to blame.

A theme he has pushed frequently is that children should be encouraged to become jihadists. “We want to have children and offer them as soldiers defending Islam... Teach them this: there is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a mujahid (martyr).” In 2010 the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf revealed that Sheikh Mohammad had urged his followers in the Netherlands to behead the Dutch politician Geert Wilders, who has campaigned against the Islamization of Holland

Also on Tsarnaev’s apparent YouTube site were videos in Russian from Abdel al-Hamid al-Juhani. Mary Habeck, an expert in radical Islam at Johns Hopkins University’s School of Advanced International Studies who is a Russian speaker, said al-Juhani “is an important ideologue for al Qaeda in Chechnya and the Caucases.”

“The form of Salafism that Tsarnaev was [allegedly] interested in is a very radical form of Salafism,” Habeck said, “one that is usually associated with al Qaeda and associated groups.” She also pointed to a video on his playlist featuring a sermon from Mohammad on the armies of Khuresan, a reference to a Muslim prophecy of an army from Central Asia that would inflict defeat upon the enemies of the faith. “The black banners from Khuresan are a reference to al Qaeda,” Habeck sai.

The YouTube page allegedly belonging to Tsarnaev is the second clue that the Boston Marathon bombers may have been motivated by the ideology of Osama bin Laden. The type of bomb used in the attack utilized a pressure cooker as a timer; al Qaeda’s online English-language Web magazine, Inspire, features instructions on making a pressure-cooker bomb in its debut issue. The pressure-cooker bombs are also used by insurgents in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.

H. Potter is definitely NOT a Jehadi.

Live long and prosper, Infidels.

I wonder why since the Muzzies hate Hollywood so much they choose innocent people to kill instead of the Hollywood bunch?

“I wonder why since the Muzzies hate Hollywood so much they choose innocent people to kill instead of the Hollywood bunch? “

Killing innocent ordinary people generates fear amongst innocent ordinary people. Killing celebrities would only generate fear among celebrities. The rest of us would cook popcorn.

I’d find the same faults with the “Harry Potter” paradigm, but not the same solutions. Harry Potter fans ought to drop it and spend a little time with the supernatural in the good old King James Bible ... plenty there, and real. IMHO
