The BBC has a new 'investigative' report which concludes that Islamic extremists are using the internet to recruit, train, and incite jihad in the U.K.

Gee, ya think?

Most of what they report is what we've been saying for, I dunno, years. And the specifics? Well, we've been reporting that Shiekh Omar Bakri Mohammed has been leading his followers in Britain from exile for months.

But we do have some news that the BBC still doesn't have or can't release due to British censorship laws. Scroll down for that.

That Bakri Mohammed intimated that it was okay to bomb airports.

That he and his followers praise the 7/7 bombers.

That Omar Bakri Mohammed continued to direct followers of his banned group via the internet from exile in Lebanon.

That a secret group called Vigil has been monitoring the followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed and pressuring the British government to act.

[UPDATE: Glen e-mails and says that this is BIG NEWS in the U.K. today. Good. He also forwards this link to a much more extensive version of the story. The video runs about 50 minutes. It's worth the watch

Pay attention to the parts where the British government does nothing. Scary.

Joel also e-mails to let me know that this Brit, blogging from Londinistan, also notices the story]

Here is some of the print version:

A banned cleric is still preaching support for terrorism to young British Muslims by appearing incognito on the internet, the BBC has learned.

The joint investigation by File on 4 and Newsnight has found Omar Bakri Mohammed broadcasts hatred for the UK using a variety of pseudonyms.

He was excluded from the UK last August on the grounds that his presence was "not conducive to the public good."

On a recent broadcast he said the 7/7 London bombers were "in paradise."

You'll remember that it was Glen that caught Omar Bakri Mohammed talking about the terrorist ties of Cat Stevens' (aka Yusuf Islam) and sent me the recording the other day.

And speaking of leads supplied to me by Glen Jenvey, he and I have been going back and forth over something else for a few days. Remember Mizanur Rahman? He is the follower of Omar Bakri Mohammed who was just convicted of inciting racital hatred, but who was acquitted of charges of inciting murder.

You'll recall that Mizanur Rahman's arrest came following his involvement in the Danish cartoon protests. At the court hearing, he gave a non-apology apology. The British authorities are now contemplating retrying him.

Well, it seems that while Mizanur Rahman was out of jail on bail, but still on trial, that the 'repentent' Rahman was still chatting with the other brothers in Omar Bakri Mohammed's online group. And what does he say?

If you're in the U.K don't read any further. Why? British censorship laws prohibit publicly airing evidence which might be used at trial. But hell, I'm not in the U.K. Oh, and screw censorship! So, read on. He hates the Queen. Oh, and it's not a problem for non-British Muslims to kill her.

What he means by 'the covenant' is that British Muslims have a contract with the U.K. government. They promise to cease the jihad required by the Quran against the unbelievers in return for a British promise to allow them to proseletyze.

But I'm guessing that by this time, he suspected that he was being watched. What he didn't know, was that his voice would be recognized.

Why? Because in another conversation, recorded by Jenvey, Mizanur Rahman calls Osama bin Laden the emir of Muslims. That there is a war against Islam by Bush and Blair, and that there is a religious obligation by Muslims to support Osama bin Laden.

At best its sedition. At worst its treason.

Thanks to Glen for keeping me in the loop on this despite my constant pestering of him to provide more and more evidence before I go public with this stuff. I've listened to several tapes of the man Glen is sure is Mizanur Rahman, and trust me on this one, by any reckoning he is a radical.

And he's not, as he claimed in his trial, just some guy who showed up at the protest, was handed a placard, and was peer pressured into threatening Europe with a nuclear holocaust. He was one of the leaders and organizers of the event.

You can by a new book about some of the terrorists Glen helped put away here.
