Islamic leader says Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks a ‘cure’

An Islamic politician has described the killing of 10 journalists at Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris and two police officers as a 'cure'.

Ismail Alwahwah, the leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia, wrote the controversial blog on the group's website claiming the horrific shootings were a reaction to the “daily humiliation” of Muslims and “insults to their book and prophet”, reports News Corp.

It comes days after French brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi and a third man were suspected of storming the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris.

The brothers then went on the run and they were later caught on CCTV holding up a petrol station in northern Paris stealing food and petrol.

Thousands of police pursued the brothers over three days and they were tracked down to an industrial site where the held a hostage at gunpoint.


French police went on to storm the printing works and both of the brothers were killed in the assault.

A second man, believed to be an accomplice of the brothers, Amedy Coulibaly on January 9 took hostages at a kosher supermarket in eastern Paris which was then raided by police in the evening.

The gunman and four hostages were killed- he is also believed to have shot a policewoman dead who was directing traffic in Paris.

France's most wanted woman Hayat Boumeddiene has crossed into Syria on January 8, the same day that her partner Amedy Coulibaly is suspected of shooting dead a policewoman outside Paris on the second day of the Paris attacks


The Bankstown man entitled the blog “Commentary on Charlie Hebdo and the physical law of compression” and described the pressure on Muslims for 'triggering the explosion'.

He wrote: 'The cure has always focused on eliminating pressure or reducing it.

'As a result, it is assumed necessary in all cases to ensure that the pressure does not exceed the red lines, which will then ultimately lead to irreversible problems.'

Mr Alwahwah explained that people are killed everyday round the world and said the events in France should be put in 'perspective'.

He also criticised the satirical French magazine and described western leaders as criminals.

He also warned Australians that insults to their religion would end in violence.

He wrote: 'It seems some in Australia are arrogantly and irresponsibly heedless of the fact that provoking and insulting a people’s core beliefs is a matter that can only end in acrimony for everyone concerned.

'If that wasn’t enough, the biggest criminals of the world like Obama and Netanyahu are already seeking to exploit the events of last week for their predictable but nefarious purposes, despite the dust not settling and facts yet to be confirmed.'
