Again, seemingly ‘regular’ people, saying this is Islamic law to kill those who insult the prophet. Not even necessary to explain why killing the Jews, of course. It’s little disconcerting to see one of these men interviewed wearing a Boston Red Sox cap.
Via Telegraph:
On the street corner where Copenhagen’s Islamist gunman died in a shoot-out with police, his friends laid floral tributes in his memory on Monday.
Emulating the actions of the hundreds of people who left flowers outside a café and a synagogue two men were shot dead at the weekend, those who regard Omar el-Hussein as a “good guy”, not a terrorist, created a third shrine.
The heap of flowers outside the drab four-storey block of flats where he lived in the mainly immigrant district of Mjølnerparken was smaller than the other two, but no less poignant in the eyes of those who grew up with el-Hussein.
“We’ve put flowers here because we must remember him,” said a young Arab man, who gave his name as Mohamed. “He was a good guy. We don’t believe he did anything wrong. It wasn’t like the police say.” A placard placed with the flowers read: “May Allah be merciful, rest in peace” in both Arabic and Danish.
The Telegraph notes people removed flowers because “the tributes would create a misleading impression that the suspected gunman had the support of his community”. Well, not so much.
According to a Danish site, the flowers were removed by hooded young men because the young men said it was not Muslim tradition to leave flowers for the dead. In translation from this site:
They think the young man prematurely has been declared a terrorist and perpetrator before you actually have proof. They perceive the Danish society as being discriminatory against Muslims. They say that if you have dark hair and called Muhammad, then you can not get work. One is at all disenfranchised, says Lisbeth Davidsen.
Another person who Lisbeth Davidsen has spoken to have said that the man who was killed in front of the synagogue Saturday night, his body was covered with a white cloth, while this man was allowed to lie to open spectacle for everyone.
It reads as a clear discrimination when a jew and a Muslim dies. They think there is something very paradoxical in coverage. If Muslims are killed, one hears nothing about it. But if it is Jews who are being killed, so we hear about it right away, says Lisbeth Davidsen.
Since shouted the young men in unison: God is Great – in Arabic, before they disappeared around the corner. Young people have instead of flowers put a white slip up that says: – May Allah be merciful with you. Rest in peace
You can see on this second video the man in the Boston Red Sox cap is one of the men removing the flowers, but leaving the sign with the white messages on it.
