The leader of an international pan-Islamic political organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir Australia has described the killing of the staff at Charlie Hebdo headquarters in Paris last week as a "cure".

According to the Daily Telegraph, Ismail Alwahwah said that the shootings in Paris were a reaction to "daily humiliation" of Muslims and "insults to their book and Prophet".

Alwahwah, whose organization describes them as a "political party whose ideology is Islam", used scientific analogies to justify the deadly massacre in his vile article "Commentary on Charlie Hebdo and the physical law of compression".

Alwahwah also said that the explosion came in response to the pressure exerted by the West that has killed 12 people of Charlie Hebdo staff.

He said that the shootings occurred in response to the pressure and that it was a cure to eliminate that pressure.
