Hassan Butt, former jihadist?...

I saw an interesting interview this evening on 60 Minutes. The interview was with Hassan Butt a Muslim, British born, who was 'radicalized' at the age of sixteen.

The Militant Islam Monitor, as well as Daniel Pipes, each did an article two to three years ago about the young radical Brit... It seems as though he may be changing his ways, still Muslim, but denouncing violence. He even goes so far as to say that the violence is 'a cancer' that must be dealt with. If indeed he maintains this road to a more peaceful way of life, then I wish him the best.

Listen, whatever a person does in his private life is his business and he will reap the consequences thereof, but when it develops into endangering the lives of innocents and destroying our way of life, well... there are other consequences to be reaped as a result...

be well,
