NYC Car Bomb Plot: Emails Show Faisal Shahzad Rejecting Democracy, Call for Caliphate

In the ongoing investigation of the NYC Times Square Car Bomb Plot, CNN reported on May 17, 2010 that emails reportedly written by terror suspect Faisal Shahzad as a “frustrated Muslim.”

An aspect of Faisal Shahzad’s emails not addressed by CNN is his rejection of democracy and calls for an extremist caliphate.

As shown in the Adobe Acrobat file of reported emails by Faisal Shahzad, he wrote that : “Why do you have to follow Democracy (Human made Laws) if you’re already given Laws revealed from Allah, Quran, and Sunnah. Khilafath is what we Muslim ruled the world with, weren’t we successful in world then?”

The continuing challenge, both in the United States of America and around the world, with religious extremist organizations that reject democracy is one that Responsible for Equality And Liberty has consistently referenced and challenged, whether it is the anti-democracy extremist Hizb ut-Tahrir or Anjem Choudary or the Christian extremacist Hutaree or Westboro Baptist Church hate group.

We remain concerned that those that seek to defy democracy are actually seeking the destruction of our unqualified, universal human rights.  Terrorist suspect Faisal Shahzad’s attacks on democracy and call for a Caliphate have been echoed in public forums by the Hizb ut-Tahrir America organization in July 2009 in Oak Lawn Illinois.  Such individuals and groups that we have called “extremists” are unquestionably against democracy, against our unqualified universal human rights, and seek the recreation of a global Islamic caliphate.

Those of us Responsible for Equality And Liberty stand to defy those who seek the destruction of our universal human rights, and who reject our unity in pluralism that respects all religions, races, genders, and ethnicity.
