A Muslim perspective on Khalid Sheikh Mohammad

Khaled Sheikh Mohammad by Abdul Arts,
the Somali refugee cartoonist now in Egypt.

Otherwise known as KSM, the confessed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, beheader of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl, Bali bombing planner, and the brains behind Richard Reid's shoe-bombing attempt. He and his nephew, 1993 lead World Trade Center bomber Ramzi Yousef, also unsuccessfully tried to blow up a dozen transPacific jetliners in midair in the mid-1990s. As Abdul himself said in the email in which he sent me this image, "I wish him to go to hell."

While this portrait is worth at least a thousand words, I'll can't help but add one sentence myself. The message here is that KSM is not Abdul Art's idea of the person who should be representing Islam.
