"Prepare as much as you can -- terrorism is part of Islam."
Jihad Watch ^ | 5/5/04 | Jihad watch

Posted on 05/05/2004 9:02:58 AM PDT by Mark Felton

A MUSLIM who publicly declared his support for the Madrid terrorists and claims he wants to be a `martyr' is being investigated by police.

Hassan Butt, aged 24, from Manchester, featured in a TV programme which alleged that British Muslims are preparing to take up arms despite the efforts of the police and security forces.

Butt, who has previously been arrested twice under the Terrorism Act, said he "envies" the Madrid bombers and that he too would like to become a martyr. He said: "It is my hope that by the age of 40 I am a martyr - and if I hadn't I would probably be a bit dejected in not being among the martyrs of Islam." Asked if he was prepared to follow other British Muslims to a terror training camp, he says he would be "honoured" and that he would have his mother's support.

A dhimmi police official was standing by to correct the negative image Butt had left of Islam:

But Chief Superintendent Tony Kane said: "Greater Manchester Police will be viewing the programme to determine what, if any, offences have been committed.

"The experience of Greater Manchester Police staff in dealing with our Muslim communities is that the vast majority of British Muslim are appaled by terrorist atrocities.

"Furthermore, they believe that Islam categorically forbids any such violence which causes death and mayhem. This view was clearly expressed in a letter to all British mosques by the Muslim Council of Britain."

The Real Story with Fiona Bruce programme claimed many young men, like Butt, are influenced by London-based Omar Bakri, leader of the controversial al Muhajiroun group.

It said he has recently defended the Madrid bombers and told young British Muslims, some as young as 10, that they must "kill and be killed" for Islam, that "suicide bombers would be guaranteed a place in paradise", and even that they should consider "flying a plane into 10 Downing Street".

And, referring to the continued presence of British, Spanish and US forces in Iraq, it said he told an east London audience: "What happened in Madrid is all revenge. Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, life for life. Anybody (that) commits a crime he should be punished - that's exactly what happened in relation to Spain.

"Objective number one - break the psychology of the occupier by hitting back in their homeland. To be worried about their own wives and loved ones."

"Prepare as much as you can from strength and from force to terrorise - because terrorism it is part of Islam."

Yup - read Salman Rushdie ("Satanic verses") - in this book Rushdie describes how ayatollah Khomeini had a nice stay in UK for several years. :)
IMHO Brits will fall victims of their own "proper" way of doing things.

"That would be a .308 caliber also. Don't confuse caliber with cartridge. ;~)"

Don't worry, I know of what I speak. My comment referred to the .30-06 Springfield vs. the .308 Winchester, the former of which is the more powerful round. I prefer the .308 Winchester as a battle round (such as in the
M-14), although the .30-06 Springfield in the M-1 Garand is also a superb battle round. For hunting and "reaching out and touching," the .30-06 Springfield is my preferred choice.

Shouldn't that be an Islamic official was standing by to correct the negative image? Shouldn't the Islamic community be writing the letter explaining they don't condone death and mayhem?

I have an Enfield bolt .308, and love it. I'd like a FAL or G36 clone I think though, for semi-auto higher capacity.

The M1 Garand's big downside is you can't reload until the last shot is fired. At least the original design. Does Springfield have a newer type?

The United States and the West in general need to adopt an "Assimilate or Get Out" immigration policy. Make it clear, when you leave your homeland, you leave that culture behind. That means, adopt our language, our schools, our manner of dress, our values, our equality of the sexes. And no importation of militant, anti-American imans to preach at their mosques. They have the freedom to choose to stay over there or come over here but if they come, they should be the one to change - NOT US.

Even if the percentage of muslims, that are now willing to attack us openly, are eliminated, the fact remains that they will patiently wait for favourable conditions to renew their (un)holy quest for domination.

It was the injection of oil dollars and globalization, (instant communications, fast jet travel, international banking & fraud, quick & malleable 'news' reporting, etc.) which gave them the means to infiltrate, emigrate, subvert and threaten the civilized world.

The various Islamic cults, their media and their leaders must be distracted, collared, monitored, defanged, impoverished, discredited, sterilized and reprogramming with a progressive (rewritten) version of their Koran, Hadiths, and Sunnah - before the future is safe from Mohammed's cult.
