Accused Underwear Bomber’s American Teacher

“it is not my right to legislate or your right to legislate. No Supreme court, no system of government no democracy where they vote.

Can you believe it, a group of people coming together and voting and the majority vote will then be the law of the land?”

“Allah, is our judge, he knows what is best for us.”


And this guy is only coming under fire ?

An American born Islamic scholar who once gave religious instruction to the accused underwear bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab, is coming under fire for videotaped remarks denouncing western courts and democracy despite his reputation as a moderate.

Following the arrest of Abdulmuttalab last December in Detroit, Yasir Qadhi expressed surprise at his former pupil’s alleged bomb plot. In an interview last December with CNN, Qadhi described Abdulmuttalab “as a quiet individual, tight lipped and shy.” The two met in 2008, during a 16 day religious seminar organized by the Al Maghrib Insititute, in Houston Texas. Qadhi said the event was a way to teach the “nuts and bolts” of Islam, adding “it’s ironic that he came to us.”

A video tape provided to FOX News by the Investigative Project on Terrorism, reveals what some experts consider Qadhi’s more radical agenda. In the undated recording made for the UK’s Islam Channel, Qadhi is speaking to a group of Muslim men. He is advising them to ignore western laws and democratic institutions in favor of Sharia or Islamic law.

He tells the group, “it is not my right to legislate or your right to legislate. No Supreme court, no system of government no democracy where they vote. Can you believe it, a group of people coming together and voting and the majority vote will then be the law of the land?” The other men on the panel listen intently as Qadhi concludes, “Allah, is our judge, he knows what is best for us.” Calls and an email to Qadhi were not returned.

Terrorism Expert Walid Phares, Author of The War of Ideas: Jihadism and Democracy warns that Qadhi’s remarks are consistent with Jihadist ideology. He said those who “hear this narrative; they are going to be convinced that their action against the United States government … is legitimate.”
