Amnesty International now has an embarrassment on their hands as an Islamofascist they were associating themselves with has been arrested:
Is “jihad in self-defense . . . antithetical to human rights? Our answer is no.” That was how Claudio Cordone, then Amnesty International’s interim secretary-general, responded in February 2010 to criticism after the human-rights group made ex-Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg its poster child in protest of the alleged horrors of U.S. antiterror detention policies.
That’s worth recalling now that British authorities have arrested Mr. Begg on suspicions of attending terrorist training camps and facilitating terrorism in Syria. Local police in Birmingham arrested Mr. Begg on Tuesday. He hasn’t been charged, but under a British antiterror statute he can be detained for up to 14 days.
Mr. Begg, a British-Pakistani citizen, was captured in Pakistan in 2002 and transferred to Guantanamo as an enemy combatant. Soon after his release in 2005, Amnesty began sharing platforms with Mr. Begg, describing his U.K.-based Cageprisoners advocacy group as a “leading human rights organization” and inviting him to deliver the 2006 Amnesty International Annual Lecture in Belfast.
Amnesty ignored that Mr. Begg had written of his admiration for the Taliban. Nor was Amnesty bothered that, alongside his “human-rights” work, Mr. Begg was conducting fawning interviews with al Qaeda propagandists such as the late terrorist imam Anwar al-Awlaki.

Amnesty Intl. has never represented Christians or Jews, rather it supported tyrants like mandela, radical homosexuals and terrorists.
They never once took up the torch for Christians in persecuted countries….ever!
So then, why would anyone be surprised of their jihadist connections?
AI is just another arm of the international Left. Their driving passion is destruction of existence itself.
As a highly trained motivated lethal member of our armed forces I agree with Jack Daniels and Doug Wakeman. Their assessment is right on the money. Amnesty International is only concerned with not making waves and keeping the money coming in for their own support for their own issues, that only they care about. That’s it whether anyone believes it or not, its the truth and they know it.
