Stewart defends using violence to overthrow governments
Activist attorney Lynne Stewart yesterday defended using violence to overthrow oppressive governments and institutions that engender “entrenched ferocious capitalism” — including those within the United States.
But Stewart, who is charged with passing messages from her imprisoned client, radical Islamic cleric Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, said civilians should not be targeted.
“I don’t believe in civilian deaths and wanton massacres such as Luxor,” she said referring to the 1997 slaying of 58 tourists and four Egyptians at an archaeological site in Egypt by the sheik’s followers.
“Institutions which perpetuate capitalism and institutions of government do have to be attacked,” she said. “And for that reason it seems to me that at some ultimate point the institutions which perpetuate capitalism — and by that I mean the institutions of government which protect it and make sure that it functions — do have to be attacked.”
Stewart, 65, is charged with passing the sheik’s messages to his followers in Islamic Group, a terrorist organization. Prosecutors contend Stewart delivered a message from the sheik despite restrictions imposed after he was convicted in 1995 of a plot to bomb New York landmarks.
And to partially quote Stewart – - “Something is wrong with the world”. I couldn’t agree more.
This is a call for revolution. A call for jihad. A call for terrorism.
How disturbing that statements made by an attorney are about revolution and include “some people (innocents) are in the wrong place at the wrong time”. Meaning if they get killed, to bad.
This is wrong on so many levels.
Here are terrorist who should me investigated we cant allow these crinimals to run loose in this country we need to stop them and try them in a court of law and inprison them for life:mad:
How does she link an anti-capitalist struggle with the actions of Abdel-Rahman? Jihadists hate socialists as much as they hate capitalists. Idiot.
“A tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants,it is its natural manure.”
- Thomas Jefferson
When it is impossible for citizens to envision extra-legal violence against the state, tyranny will be the only result. The Imperium wants you to classify all those who use violence against the state as “terrorists.”
Where is Shiloh and the ACLU to stick up for her right to participate in the wanton murder of “infidels” my muslim animals???
Another Nut.
She is not the only one who has called for a revolution and overthrow of the goverment theres also a enviromentalist extremist CRAIG ROSEBRUAGH he is a eco-freak who went to FRESNO STATE and called for a revolution i mean its time to stop these crinimals and have them removed from our places of high education and the administraitors at these collages who invite these extremist should be brought up on RICO charges and rosebrugh and his kind like ron coranado should be sent to prison:mad::mad:
all revolutionary are not terrorist movements. altho the American was a terrorist action from the British point of view.
Jefferson we have a duty and a right to overthrow our government when it fails it reflect the will of the people.
i’m not saying those conditions exist here, but if they did – it would be the right thing to do, would it not?
hEY shILOH…..WHEN 59 PEOPLE RE-AFFIRM OUR LEADERS…..THEY ARE DOING THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
just not YOUR people…….
59 MILLION
Geezzzz shiloh, I own several of those nasty “assualt weapons”, your above comment would be possible from my standpoint. But, comming from a lefty anit-2nd amendment point of view, what are you going to do it with “spit wads”?
where did you get the idea i was opposed to the 2nd ammendment?
it wouldn’t be ‘because he’s liberal so this and this and this have to be true’, would it?
i get alot of that from folks on this site who would raise bloody hell if i did the same thing. having the moral high ground but be so cool.
Shiloh, I guess you are not what I call a typical lib. Mabe you aren’t some Dem party hack and you do think for yourself. So, side note, what exactly do you feel about gun ownership. In other words, what is your take on the 2nd? Im just curious.
sure TAC, as Americans we have a right to have guns. militia or not. i’m sure you’ll agree there’s a common sense limit on what kind of weapons individual should be allowed to have.
Simon, You leftist Bastard-
You are the last person that needs to mangle the Quotes of our founding fathers since your kind is against damn near everything they stood for.
well shilo, I own Colt M-4s what our guys are carrying out there in the desert, m14s, and a plethora of other evil looking weapons. They have big magazines too.
Shiloh, I’m curious about what the “common sense limit” is, and exactly WHO gets to decide it……you, Shiloh?
after all, there really should be a “common sense limit” on the number of babies who are killed by having their limbs torn apart….you want me deciding that limit??????
mike- a “common sense limit” would have to pass a “global test.”
16 no i think you should decide mike. RPGs? tanks?
where’s your limit (i’m afraid to ask)?
well, shilo, what’s your limit…8 months? 9 months? halfway out the womb? in the nursery? upon discovery of any birth defects? What’s your limit on tearing babies apart and heaving the remains in a dumpster???
oh, I forgot, those remains are to be used to make Chris Reeve walk again……sorry.
