Mosque that the Manchester bomber attended supported armed jihad, say scholars - Sensationalist Headlines

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-44729727 A sermon at the mosque where the Manchester bomber worshipped called for the support of armed jihadist fighters, according to two Muslim scholars. An imam at Didsbury Mosque in December 2016 was recorded praying for "victory" for "our brothers and sisters right now in Aleppo and Syria and Iraq". Scholars Usama Hasan and Shaykh Rehan said it referred to "military jihad".The imam, Mustafa Graf, says his sermon did not call for armed jihad and he has never preached radical Islam. The recording the BBC obtained is of Friday prayers at the mosque six months before Salman Abedi detonated a suicide bomb following an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena in May 2017.Abedi and his family regularly attended the mosque and his father sometimes led the call to prayer. The family's whereabouts on the day of the sermon are unknown but the BBC has been told that Abedi bought a ticket for the concert 10 days later. The bomb killed 22 people and the attacker, as well as injuring hundreds of others. It is also understood at least five men who have attended Didsbury Mosque have either travelled to Syria or have been jailed for terrorism offences. Greater Manchester Police said they had the BBC's material and were reviewing it "to establish if any criminal offences have been committed". The sermon, which was at a time of bombing in the Syrian city of Aleppo, includes prayers for "mujahideen" fighting abroad - a term commonly used for Islamist guerrilla fighters. "We ask Allah to grant them mujahideen - our brothers and sisters right now in Aleppo and Syria and Iraq - to grant them victory," Mr Graf is heard saying. Elsewhere it says: "Lots of brothers stayed behind unfortunately. They love Islam and Muslims but they do nothing for the support of their brothers and sisters." Another passage says: "Jihad for the sake of Allah is the source of pride and dignity for this nation." Mr Hasan, head of Islamic studies at Quilliam, a think tank that focuses on counter-extremism, said: "From the context and the way these texts [the religious passages quoted within the sermon] are used they are clearly referring to military jihad, to armed jihad. "I have known the Islamic discourse for pretty much 40 years, from being a child in this country and worldwide, and the mujahideen are the group fighting armed jihad." Mr Rehan said he was in no doubt about what the sermon meant. "The jihad he's referring to here is actually being on the battlefield, there's no ifs and no buts in this." The sermon centres on the suffering in Syria and includes an appeal for donations. At one point Mr Graf is heard saying: "The whole world, including Europe, America - what is the so-called civilised world - is watching what is happening in Aleppo and Syria. "They know that Iran, Russia and the militias are killing humans in Syria and they do nothing. "Well in fact they helped the Russians and the Iranians and others, the militias, to kill Muslims over there."

Guess what else, Libya still haven't handed his piece of shit brother to the UK authorities.

does Libya even have an authority at the moment that can hand him over?

Well i guess the silver lining here is that the Muslim community in question isn't completely insular and fucked. At least these two came forward about their fellow muslims calling for violence.

If it has no authority then we have our own right to get the guy

Might as well just go in there and extract him, who's gonna stop us?

yeah what could go wrong with putting boots on the ground in a country that's majorly unstable, definitely not going to run into any issues/spark any conflicts

absolutely, works every time
