Alleged mastermind behind 9/11 attacks says he has renounced violence

Instead of blowing people up, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 terrorist attack wants to bring converts to Islam by subtler means of persuasion.

Khalid Sheik Mohammed is seeking to convince members of the military tribunal trying him at Guantamo Bay he has renounced violence.

In a 36-page manifesto published in the Huffington Post, he even argues, “The Holy Koran forbids us to use force as a means of converting” and reaching “truth and reality never comes by muscles and force but by using the mind and wisdom.”

“Don’t believe the media that the mujahedeen believe that Islam spread in the past and will prevail in the future with the sword,” he adds.

This will put him at odds with co-religionists who are busily waging jihad around the world — from Afghanistan and Syria to Libya and Mali, to name only the most bitter conflicts.

Well if we put him to death for his crimes, he can act as peacefully as he wants in hell.

OK. Then ask him if the Koran forbids violence and he himself renounces violence then what is the punishment for killing someone? Then ask him what is the punishment for killing 3,000 people? Prisons are full of people who have supposedly seen the light however they still receive their punishment.

Too bad Islam didn’t start out that way.

Yeah, don't behead people, just threaten to kill them and rape their children, dogs, and goats. Burning down Christian churches isn't actually violence, BTW. /s

Is Khalid saying that Mohammed was a blasphemer?

We can renounce violence later.

Not buying this so much. But it got me thinking: How much good could be done if a high level Islamist fighter had a Road to Damascus moment, converted, and became a driving force for Christianity. Oh well, I can dream.
