British Islamists to Protest Six Arrested Terrorists

Remember, the last time the followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed organized a London protest, they vocally called for the Pope's death and carried signs reading, among other things, "Islam will conquer Rome". These are also the same guys who organized the Danish embassy protest, over the Mohammed cartoons, and were seen carrying signs that read "Behead those who insult Islam."

The call for Friday's protest came at a password protected website used by the six men who were arrested on Monday for encouraging terrorist acts and raising funds for terrorism abroad.

London police should be prepared and hopefully we can get some people videotaping the event. Generally, what they say is far worse than the signs they carry.

In September of 2006, the same group--on a now defunct website (thank us later for getting it shut down)--issued a similar call to protest the Pope. The signs carried by the protesters outraged many.

What crazy stuff can we expect at this protest? The announcement is below, in its entirety. more...

Jawa Celebration: Abu Izzadeen & 5 Others Arrested in Terror Ring

How we had the evidence on Izzadeen before he was arrested below.

UPDATE EXCLUSIVE: An Islamist forum connected with Omar Bakri Mohammed, and previously exposed here at The Jawa Report, has listed the names of the six terror suspects arrested today. Many of the names seemed mispelled, but here is how the forum listed them:

Abu Izzadeen from London
Abdul Haqq from London
Sulayman Keeler from London
Abu Muwaheed from London
Omar Zaheer from west London
Rajib Jhan (Khan) from Luton

All are followers of radical exiled clerica Omar Bakri Mohammed. The message also claimed those arrested were "victims of the British crusade", urged Muslims to pray for their release, and prayed that Allah would curse the kuffar (unbeliever).

Video of Abu Izzadeen here.
Video of Abu Muwaheed below.
Video of Sulayman Keeler here.

Another update: Is Abdul Haqq the Abdul Haqq Baker who is the head of the Brixton Mosque in South London where Richard Reid once attended?
-------

Abu Izzadeen, a regular target of the Jawa Report's ire, has been arrested---again. Five others were arrested with him.

Normally I'm happy whenever we take jihad supporters off the street. Today I don't think happy really describes how I'm feeling. More like ecstatic.

How come? Because I've been on a bit of a crusade against the followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed for some time now and it looks like it's finally bearing some fruit. Sure, Izadeen was arrested once before, but this time it seems more serious. This time the charge includes fund raising for terrorists.

Oh, and this time I saw some of the evidence being used against Izzadeen before he was arrested. How is this possible? Well I can reveal that one of the informers behind the case is a friend, Glen Jenvey. Glen met with authorities a few weeks ago and passed along the videos and other information to them.

BBC:

Six men have been arrested on suspicion of incitement offences by anti-terror officers from the Metropolitan Police.

They include Abu Izzadeen, also known as Omar Brooks, who made headlines when he heckled Home Secretary John Reid at an event last year.

Five arrests took place in London and the sixth in Luton, Bedfordshire.

Scotland Yard said the arrests related to allegations of inciting others to commit acts of terrorism abroad and fund-raising for terrorists.

The BBC understands that the arrests are connected to an alleged incident at a mosque in 2004. The men were taken to an unnamed police station in central London.

The BBC understands that among the six arrested is Rajib Khan, a 28-year-old man from Luton.

The other men arrested are a 24-year-old, 35-year-old and 21-year-old, all from parts of East London, and a 27-year-old from Southall in the west of the capital.

You'll remember that the 7/7 bombing ringleader was Sadiq Khan and that on the morning of 7/7 Khan and three accomplices boarded the train at the Luton station on his way to London to commit mass-murder.

Since Rajib Khan was picked up in Luton, could he be a relative of Sadiq Khan?

Allahpundit has two Izadeen videos up. Both of them are from Glen Jenvey and one of them premiered right here on The Jawa Report.

Jenvey just has tons of videos and audios of Izzadeen and other followers of Bakri Mohammed doing all sorts of stuff: praising terrorists, urging the death penalty for gays, inciting Muslims to kill the police, and even urging Muslims to give money to al Qaeda.

He also tells me that one of the men arrested is shown in this video. His name is something like "Keyla". Update: His name is Sulayman Keeler.

To be honest, Glen has sent me so much evidence that Abu Izadeen and the other al Muhajiroun goons, such as Anjem Choudary, are in bed with al Qaeda that I haven't linked 1/10th of it. It seemed literally pointless to point out the obvious anymore.

A month ago, after Glen sent me a link, I told him, "The thing is, don't you think he's pretty much exposed by now? I'm guessing your intel and police would love to get their hands on him." And guess what? They did.

And since Glen has been kind enough to keep me "in the loop", I would be remiss in not mentioning the book War of the Web: Fighting the Online Jihad which recounts Glen's involvement in the arrest of Abu Hamza and others.

All of these videos were originally set to "private" on YouTube and sent to me, but Glen had to change that setting to "public" once we started posting them. There are 55 videos in all, but we've only posted a handful here to this date.

For instance, here is a video of one of Abu Izzadeen's friends [update: this is of Abu Muwaheed, arrested today] urging Muslims to give money to terrorists. In it, he says, "Teach your children from a young age to spend money for the sake of Allah. To give money to the mujahidin." Then he breaks into Arabic but one word is apparent: Osama bin Laden. In the context of the speech he is giving it is clear he is urging people to give money to al Qaeda.

7/7 London Bombing Conspirators Charged

It's official, three men from Leeds have been formally charged as co-conspirators in the 7/7 London bombings which killed 52. The three are the first to be charged in that attrocity.

USA Today:

Britain charged three men Thursday with allegedly helping the four suicide bombers in the July 7, 2005, attacks on London's transit system that killed 52 passengers.....

The three — Mohammed Shakil, 30, Shipon Ullah, 23, and Sadeer Saleem, 26 — were charged with conspiracy to cause explosions on transport or at tourist attractions that could endanger life or cause serious harm.

Susan Hemming, head of the Counter Terrorism Division of the Crown Prosecution Service, said that the three men are accused of being "involved in the reconnaissance and planning for a plot with those ultimately responsible for the bombings."

The police also have said to expect more arrests.

UPDATE: Charles has video. more...

Three Arrested in 7/7 Bombings

More arrests in the London 7/7 bombings today. 7/7 has been called the U.K.'s 9/11. 52 passengers on various public transportaion lines in London were murdered on that day by Muslims inpired by al Qaeda. Police in Britain believe that al Qaeda may have been involved in both the planning and funding of the mass murder.

Guardian:

Three men were today arrested in connection with the July 7 London bombings, which killed 52 commuters on the capital's public transport system.

In the first significant arrests since the 2005 suicide attacks, two men, aged 23 and 30, were detained shortly before 1pm at Manchester airport, where they were due to catch a flight to Pakistan.

A third man, aged 26, was arrested at a house in Leeds shortly after 4pm...

It is understood the three arrested men are from Leeds. The property being searched in Colwyn Rd is on the same street as the house where Tanweer lived with his parents, who worked in a fish and chip shop.

UPDATE: As always, The Counterterrorism Blog has excellent coverage and much more info.

Allah reminds us that there had previously been a link between the 7/7 bomb plotters and Leeds. You'll recall that Magdi El-Nashar had been 'detained' in Egypt in July of last year [pictured above right]. Authories found the substance TATP in Magdy al-Nashar's Leeds apartment, but he claimed the explosive 'wasn't his'. He was a professor at Leed's University. Interesting fact about Magdi El-Nasher: He spent a semester at North Carolina University in grad school studying biochemistry.

On a related note, in a British court today Manfo Asiedu, who was arrested two weeks after the 7/7 bombings, claimed that he had planned an attack which would be "bigger and better" than the transit system bombings. He's radically changed his defense from 'it was all a joke, we're victims of Islamophobia' to 'we were planning to blow up an apartment complex'. Apparently he's pointing the finger at another defendant at the trial, Muktar Said Ibrahim, as the ringleader. UPDATE: LGF has video here.

Allah also reminds readers of how 7/7 got to Abu Izzadeen's funny bone. And since we just ran a video of Abu Izzadeen a few days ago, you might want to go check out his sermon on Islam=terrorism. Be sure to wait til he begins justifying the beheading of Paul Johnson by the 'mujahidin'.

I have a friend in Britain who swears that if Izzadeen wasn't personally involved in the 7/7 attacks, then it was at least inspired by his mentor, Omar Bakri Mohammed. Here is a a video of Bakri Muhammed extolling the virtues of al Qaeda, shortly before the 7/7 bombings.

New MPJ Category!

That’s right! In our quest to totally foul up TJR while Rusty is on vacation, Vinnie and I have added a new category. While working on this email a terrorist thread I noticed just how much stuff we have on Omar Bakri Muhammad.

Omar is a radical cleric who has been linked to al-Qaeda and other terror organizations and plots.

Here are a few examples.

(Audio) British Cleric Encourages Muslims to Behead Hostages: Birmingham Connection.

Exiled Muslim Cleric Behind London Protest Calling for Pope's Death.

Bakri Celebrates British Deaths.

When compiling these I have to get the post title and then google that to get the url, quite a pain in the arse. So, to make my life easier, our Editor in Chief, Vinnie added a new category for me. Without further delay I present to you the new category:

Omar The Goat Humping Bakri Muhammad

Great name huh? I figure it goes right along with the spirit and intent of MPJ. It will take some time to get all the posts moved under that category. Maybe forever, but until that time we will work diligently to accumulate all the posts on old goat humper into this one place. I’ve added a few already. You can access MPJ categories on the left sidebar.

Also to update Jawa readers on this post

The same server that contains Omar, The Goat Humping, Bakri Muhammad’s website also contains a number of Jihadi forums and websites. It has encryption, encryption hacking, hack tools, DDOS, various other worms and virus sites and a porn site. It is the remnants of a former ISP that specialized in carrying Jihadi websites and information. One of the websites was a favorite of the Madrid bombers.

I’m sure many of our British readers will be interested to know the same spew that resulted in the tube attacks is still being broadcast over the internet from Britain.

I’m not posting all the URLs for the sites due to the malicious software sites. But I can send them by request. I’ll try and keep you updated as best I can.

Hopefully these sites can be taken down and this provider found and prosecuted.

As a reminder of what the purpose of these sites are, here is a video of Omar, The Goat Humping, Bakri Muhammad talking about the UBL and the 7/7 London attacks before they happened.

Hat Tip: Glen.

Update: Heh

Video: British Muslim Praises & Laughs at 9/11

In this video a follower of Omar Bakri Mohammed laughs about 9/11. I mean really laughs. He seems to think of the greatest act of terrorism in U.S. history as a side-splittingly good time.

You'll also notice that he compares the hijacked planes several times to "when pigs fly". He says they use the same term in Arabic. I'm not sure whether he's referring to the passengers murdered on that day as pigs or whether he's simply using the phrase to make the point that September 11th was the long awaited, and unexptected by many, day when Muslims finally rose up and gave America its up-and-comings. My gut feeling is that he means it in both ways, but the thick accent makes it difficult to really follow him.

In any event, there is one thing that he gets right: 9/11 was a day when pigs were flying. But the pigs were the hijackers and mass murdering followers of al Qaeda. The biggest pig of all was Mohammed Atta.

Can any one identify the man in the video? Glen Jenvey identifies him as an "al Qaeda member", but I'd say it was more accurate to call him an "al Qaeda sympathizer". What I do know for sure is that he's a follower of Omar Bakri Mohammed. And a pig.

Exit question: Does Allah let flying pigs into paradise

UPDATE: Askand ye shall receive, I guess. Jeremy Reynalds, author of War of the Web: Fighting the Online Jihad says that this is Bakri follower, ABU WALEED.

UK Bigley Beheading Supporter Identified

The U.K. Muslim seen on a video supporting the beheading of British hostage Kenneth Bigley has been identified as Abdul Rahman Saleem, also known as Abu Yahya. Unsurprisingly, he is a follower of exiled British cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed.

I Googled his name and came up with a reference to him, right here at The Jawa Report. It seems that he was one of the characters behind a protest at the Danish embassy in which Muslims were seen advocating "Behead those who insult Islam":

Abdul Rahman Saleem, 31, of Poplar, (aka Abu Yahya) denied one count of using words likely to stir up racial hatred.
I don't know about "using words likely to stir up racial hatred," but his explicit endorsement of the beheading of civilian hostages in this video certainly seems like something much worse.

At the cartoon protest, Saleem was videotaped chanting:

"7/7 on its way" and "Europe you will pay with your blood" (Telegraph)
Saleem was convicted on the charges and is, from what I gather, free on bail until his April sentencing hearing.

The video in which Saleem justifies the murder of Kenneth Bigley can be seen here.

Thanks to Jeremy Reynalds for helping identify Saleem. Here's a plug for his book: War on the Web: Fighting the Online Jihad.

Video: British Imam Urges Terror Attacks

omar_bakri_mohammed_madrid.jpgHere is a video of British Imam Omar Bakri Mohammed urging Muslims to bring jihad to European soil. In it, he urges would-be jihadis to follow the example of the Madrid al Qaeda attackers and fight the infidels on their own soil rather than making Muslim lands the battlefield. 190 people died in those bombings.

The video is said to have been recorded in a London area community center, but you'll notice the sign above Bakri Mohammed reads something about "...cakes made to order". I'm not sure what, if anything, that means. Maybe the pro-jihad crowd was having a bake sale? You know, "Buy a halal cake and we'll send half the proceeds to bin Laden" or something like that.

The video is from Glen Jenvey, who sends his regards to Jawa Readers. If you want to read about how Glen was able to infiltrate both Abu Hamza and Omar Bakri Mohammed's inner circle, you can read about it in War of the Web: Fighting the Online Jihad

This People UK article suggests that this video is enough to finally indict Bakri Mohammed. You'll remember that after he fled Britain for Lebanon shortly after several of his follewers were rounded up on terror related charges that he was declared persona non grata in the U.K.:

Charles Shoebridge, a former counter-terrorism intelligence officer, thinks The People's evidence could be crucial in nailing Bakri, who lived in Britain for 18 years before he was banned from returning from Lebanon. Mr Shoebridge explained: "Just as once was the case with Abu Hamza, the authorities have been reluctant to act against Bakri.

"A reason given for this inaction was a claimed lack of hard evidence. But the videos show that this excuse doesn't stand scrutiny.

"After the 7/7 attacks, the Government made it an offence to glorify terrorism. Bakri seems to go well beyond this by apparently directly calling for attacks.

"On the face of it, these videos provide police with ample evidence to arrest Bakri should he ever set foot in the UK or any country with which the UK has an extradition treaty."

Read the rest of the story. Apparently they found a second video, which I don't have, of Bakri Mohammed's followers plotting to kidnap prison officials and "hang them from lamposts." Watch the video to the end. It cuts off, but I believe he was trying to urge Muslims in the U.K. to prepare themselves for the inevetable day when they will have to go to war with their own government.

Blair Defies al Qaeda's Plot at Queen's Celebration

That man Tony Blair? He's got himself a set of cajones. Big ones.

The Telegraph:

Tony Blair defied an assassination threat from al-Qa'eda to take part in the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations in central London, it can be revealed for the first time....

Lord Stevens, talking for the first time about the alleged plot, said: "There was a threat against the Prime Minister over the Queen's Jubilee period. It was an assassination threat. There was good reason to believe that the threat was credible."

Lord Stevens, who confessed to not feeling the same degree of optimism, said that Mr Blair would not countenance withdrawing. "We went ahead. There were a lot of police officers around. There were lots of marksmen in the actual vicinity," he said.

"I remember sitting with him three or four along the line outside Buckingham Palace where I knew we were extremely vulnerable. I just looked out the side of my eye. There was not a shadow of any kind of fear. He had a job to do and he did it.

"You have to admire him and Cherie Blair, who also knew about the threat, for doing that. They showed great personal courage."

Abu Izzadeen Arrested: British Muslims Seethe, Threaten

An Islamic website linked to radical exiled cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed has announced that Bakri's lieutenant, Abu Izzadeen, has been arrested. U.K. newspapers are also confirming this. The specific charge is of encouraging terrorism.

The British website claims that Izzadeen was arrested "at the train station" and that Muslims should pray for Bakri. Other posters echoed the sentiment. "May Allah hasten his release," said one commenter.

"May Allah handle the oppressors, May He throw fear into there [sic] hearts, n [sic] direct his force against them.... May Allah (swt) make there plots against us a means for there [sic] own destruction!" said another.

Here's the website. The same forum recently described The Jawa Report as "a mix of red necks and swine eating pigs... most of which are made up of pedophiles and homosexual [sic]". We'll cop to the first two (rednecks and swine eating pigs), but I was under the impression that it was Mohammed who was the pedophile (eg, his marriage to the 6 year old Aisha, and his rape of her at 9) and that it was in Islamic countries where buggery runs amock!

Notice, too, that they site an ironic post by a commenter about finding justifications in the Bible for Christians killing Muslims. A) None of the authors of the Jawa Reports said that, it was a commenter B) The commenter was joking. A play on the injunction in the Quran for Muslims to kill Christians until they either convert or submit to Muslim rule.

Much more below the fold. more...

Al Qaeda Behind British Beheading Plot; Bakri Mohammed Implicated; Suspects Identified (Updated)

Updates at bottom. Scroll down.

New developments on the raid that rounded up 9 Muslims suspected of plotting to behead a returned British Muslim soldier. Al Qaeda is now said to be behind the plot, and directed from Pakistan. At least two suspects remain at large. Also, a second Muslim soldier was targetted.

The message the beheading video would send was not only that the British should abandon Iraq and Afghanistan, but that Muslims serving in the UK are now considered "apostates". Apostasy is a capital crime under Islamic law, and beheadin apostates specificaly approved by Mohammed, the Muslim "prophet". The video would serve as a warning to British Muslims not to cooperate with the "kuffar' (unbeliever) nor to change their "deen" (Islamic way of life).

Further, one of the suspects may have served on the Muslim Council of Britain. Another seems to have been involved in the operation of a pool hall. A third was a part owner in a bookstore which sold Islamic jihadi propaganda masquerading as "documentaries", the former owner of which was a Guantanamo Bay detainee.

All this, and more, below. more...

(Audio) British Cleric Encourages Muslims to Behead Hostages: Birmingham Connection

In this two-minute audio clip, Omar Bakri Mohammed urges his followers to use whatever tools they have at their disposal in fighting the jihad. He claims those tools include beheading hostages. This message was recorded by Glen Jenvey on June 8, 2006--the day Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq who beheaded British hostage Ken Bigley, was killed.

Why bring this up now? Omar Bakri Mohammed's al Muhajiroun followers congregate in Birmingham. The voice you hear is that of Omar Barki Mohammed, many of those listening to him would have been in Birmingham. It's not a direct connection, but it may have been a motivating factor in the plot to kidnap and behead a British soldier. Especially given that those involved in the plot looked to Zarqawi's example. Add moral justification to example and you have a recipe for action.

Soldier Beheading Plot Foiled in Britain (Bumped, Updated)

Important Updates below. Scroll down for info on Moazzam Begg and other updates, including audio of British cleric, with large Birmingham following, praising the beheading of hostages

Another plot inspired by Abu Musab al Zarqawi. Have we finally witnessed the ascendency of the Zarqawi method of filmed beheadings for political gain among radical Salafi Muslims in the West? The plotters, it is said, wanted a repeat of the beheading murder of Ken Bigley---who was personally killed by Zarqawi.

The arrests were in Birmingham, which leads us to suspect that followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed, who have a large following there, were involved. One of Bakri Muhammed's followers is pictured right. more...

Muhammed Cartoon Protester Guilty

Best part? When followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed cry out from the viewers gallery. I mean, what could be more unjust than convicting a guy for inciting people to kill infidels and blasphemers?

The Guardian:

A Muslim demonstrator who took part in a protest march against cartoons of the prophet Muhammad was found guilty today of calling for the murder of American and Danish people.

There were shouts of protest from the public gallery as Umran Javed, 27, from Birmingham, was found guilty of soliciting murder and stirring up racial hatred during the demonstration in London last February. He was recorded on a police video shouting "Bomb, bomb Denmark. Bomb, bomb USA" to fellow demonstrators.

No Killing "Innocents"-- Innocents = Muslims, everyone else is fair game

Remember our good friend Anjem Choudary? He's Omar Bakri Mohammed's right-hand man in Britain. Rarely, if ever, do we get such a clear expression of the beliefs of Salafi Muslims than in this BBC interview with Choudary

Here is the money quote, as Choudary tries to clarify Shiekh Omar Bakri's stance on killing the infidels:

BBC: Your own leader, Omar Bakri [Mohammed], said quite simply "I condemn the killing of innocent people" on the 20th of July. Why won't you say what he says?

Choudary: At the end of the day, when we say "innocent people" we mean "Muslims". As far as non-Muslims are concerned, they have not accepted Islam. As far as we are concerned, that is a crime against God.

He then goes on to refuse to condemn mass murderers and then dodges the question on whether or not London should be attacked again.

And if you don't remember Choudary, he's the head of The Society of Muslim lawyers in the UK who says that the Pope shoud be executed. For suggesting Islam might be violent. Yup.

He's also the guy behind the London cartoon protests. You know the one. Where he distributed (Bakri always gets Choudary or Izadeeen to do the dirty work) posters to his followers saying "Be prepared for the real holocaust" and "Behead those that insult Islam".

You can also see Choudary spouting off here (second vid).

Sharia in the UK

Legal pluralism is all the rage in Europe and among American legal academics. The concept is that different laws should apply to different groups within the same country. This is why Canada allows some religious courts legal authority. The same applies to Britain. No joke.

The scary thing, is that it could happen here too. It's all the rage in law schools. And young lawyers today become tomorow's judges......

Dread Pundit Bluto has the details. But here's a teaser from The Telegraph:

Faizul Aqtab Siddiqi, a barrister and principal of Hijaz College Islamic University, near Nuneaton, Warwicks, said this type of court had advantages for Muslims. "It operates on a low budget, it operates on very small timescales and the process and the laws of evidence are far more lenient and it's less awesome an environment than the English courts," he said.

Mr Siddiqi predicted that there would be a formal network of Muslim courts within a decade.

Coming soon to the UK: rape victims being stoned to death, amputation for shoplifting, and the death sentence for blasphemers.

Yusuf Islam Confirms He Supports Death for Blasphemers

The Nobel Prize noble no more. You really need to read Bruce Bawer's article today. Not just because The Jawa Report is mentioned. Okay, that would be reason enough. Just go read it.

He adds even more to the controversy surrounding the Nobel invitation to Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) to perform at this year's Peace Prize shindig. Yusuf Islam admits that he supports capital punishment for blasphemers. Some peace train you got there Islam.

Ironically, Yusuf believes that 'the gospels' also call for murdering those that blaspheme. Which is quite absurd. Unless I missed that part about Jesus stoning the blasphemers. Maybe it's somewhere in the back?

The Sun:

There is reason to be dismayed by the Norwegian Nobel Committee's anointing of Yusuf. This is, after all, a man who's been denied entry into America and expelled from Israel.

After the publication of the fatwa against Salman Rushdie, he was quoted in the New York Times as saying that if Mr. Rushdie came to his door for help, "I might ring somebody who might do more damage to him than he would like. I'd try to phone the Ayatollah Khomeini and tell him exactly where this man is."

A Web site called the Jawa Report claims that Yusuf has performed at fund-raising events for charities with connections to terrorist organizations. On the same Web site you can also read claims that he is an intimate of the Islamist Omar Bakri Mohammed and of Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman, who is now serving a life sentence for terrorist activities.

Perhaps the barring of Yusuf from America and his expulsion from Israel were based on misunderstandings; perhaps he was misquoted on Mr. Rushdie, and perhaps the Jawa Report is mistaken.

But Yusuf's own statements on his own Web site are not so easily dismissed. On that Web site he claims that he "never called for the death of Salman Rushdie; nor backed the Fatwa issued by the Ayatollah Khomeini," even though he feels that Mr. Rushdie's book "The Satanic Verses" "destroyed the harmony between peoples and created an unnecessary international crisis."

But then he adds the following: "When asked about my opinion regarding blasphemy, I could not tell a lie and confirmed that — like both the Torah and the Gospel — the Qur'an considers it, without repentance, as a capital offense. The Bible is full of similar harsh laws if you're looking for them. However, the application of such Biblical and Qur'anic injunctions is not to be outside of due process of law, in a place or land where such law is accepted and applied by the society as a whole."

What does this mean? It means this: Yusuf is not against the idea of Mr. Rushdie being executed for writing a book. He is simply acknowledging that in Britain and other Western countries, the proper Islamic punishments do not apply. Yet.

As they say: at least he's an honest Islamofascist.

Online Recruiting, Inciting of Jihad in Britain: BBC Follows Jawa

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.

You can watch the BBC story by clicking here (opens page with player)

[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."

But, as I told Glen Jenvey-- who is our chief source and who is also a source of the BBC story--when he e-mailed me about this, at least the MSM in Britain is starting to take him seriously.

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. more...

Cat Stevens (Yusuf Islam) Sings Praises of Taliban?

A reader dropped this link in the comments. It is supposed to be Cat Stevens (aka, Yusuf Islam) singing the praises of the Taliban in Afghanistan.

You can listen to it by clicking here. It's called Afghanistan: The Land of Islam.

I'd love for somebody to debunk it. I just don't have the time right now for extensive Google searching. The brief Google search that I did seems to indicate that Yusuf Islam really did write and perform the song about 'the land of the free'....you know, Taliban Afghanistan.

I want to believe that Cat Stevens is just a dupe who didn't really support terrorism. That he's like the millions of Muslims around the world that gives to charities and doesn't really know that the money is going to terrorists.

Of course, since audio of Omar Bakri Mohammed claiming that Yusuf Islam used to associate himself with convicted terror master mind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, and that he used to send money to the families of the 'Mujahidin", it's becoming harder and harder to believe that.

UPDATE: Yusuf Islam's new album comes out today.

UPDATE II: I've done some more Google searching. From what I gather, the song was written by Yusuf Islam, but never recorded by him. Also, at least one Islamic website claims the Islam wrote the piece after the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union.

So, giving him the benefit of the doubt, the mujahidin that he is praising are anti-Soviets, ie our former allies. Some of whom became the Northern Alliance....others, well, you know who they became-

Here are the words to the song: more...
