Denmark jails Islamic radical for inciting to kill ministers and Jews

COPENHAGEN (AFP)--- A court in Denmark jailed a radical
Islamic party member for three months on Thursday for inciting young Muslims to kill members of the country’s government and Jews, court sources said.

A Copenhagen court handed the sentence to Fadi Abdullatif, spokesman of the Hizb-ut-Tahrir party (Islamic Liberation Party). He was convicted last year for giving out leaflets which urged Muslims to fight in Iraq and told them: "exterminate your rulers if they stand in your way".

A judge earlier decided based on a Danish translation of the text that the call to "exterminate rulers" if they opposed people leaving Denmark to fight in Iraq amounted to a threat against the Scandinavian country’s government.

The government of Prime minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen committed Danish troops to take part in the United States-led invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Abdullatif was also convicted for publishing a text on the party’s website urging people to kill Jews.

Hizb ut-Tahrir al-Islami is a political movement seeking ’implementation of pure Islamic doctrine’ and the creation of an Islamic caliphate in Central Asia.
