BRITAIN’S most senior Muslim clerics have secretly met to prepare their communities for the aftermath of a September 11-style terrorist attack in Britain.
In an acknowledgment of the imminent danger of an Al-Qaeda atrocity, the 13 leading imams have held emergency mashwarahs (consultations) in London over the summer. They have warned Britain’s 1.6m Muslims of a likely backlash in the event of an attack and told communities to be vigilant for terrorists in their midst.
They have concluded that some sections of the Muslim community in Britain have become more sympathetic to terrorism because of the continuing Iraq war. As a result of the meetings, a guide is to be sent in September to every Muslim household, calling on them to report suspicious activities on a police anti-terrorist hotline.
“For Muslims, averting a terrorist attack that could harm many innocents is an Islamic imperative,” it says. “If you are aware of any suspected terror-related activity, then bring that information to the immediate attention of the police.”
Abdul Jalil Sajid, the imam of Brighton mosque and one of the country’s most senior clerics, said the imams were responding to warnings from police and the recent arrests of terror suspects. “It is the police and the government that have been telling us that an attack is on the way,” he said.
The imams warn in the guide that Muslims should be ready for revenge attacks from non-Muslims in the wake of a terrorist incident. It advises women who wear the hijab not to go outside unaccompanied if an attack occurs and says mosques and Islamic schools should install CCTV cameras.
As an interim measure, the imams have prepared a model sermon, which will be sent to all mosques and Islamic centres for delivery at Friday prayers. The sermon will make a clear distinction between jihad (holy war) and terrorism. It will point out that Muslims have a covenant of security not to attack the country in which they live.
The meetings were organised by the grand shura (ruling body) of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), the country’s biggest Muslim body. with more than 350 Islamic organisations affiliated to it.
Inayat Bunglawala, an official of the McB who was at a meeting of imams, said the concept of jihad had been debased by terrorists. “Jihad is a noble endeavour to defend your country and society from attack, while terror is the indiscriminate killing of innocents.”
The McB is to publish half a million copies of the guide, called Know Your Rights and Responsibilities, so that at least one member of each Muslim household in Britain will have a copy. In the event of a terrorist attack, the guide advises Muslim households to “remain calm and follow the global safety rule: go in, stay in and tune in”.
Mosque officials and worshippers are told regularly to “check their bins and look for any suspicious packages left outside and inside the buildings”. Fearing racist groups will exploit a terror attack, the guide tells Muslims: “Do not allow yourself to be provoked by the far right into responding in a violent manner.”
The guide also advises Muslims on what their rights are if they are stopped and searched, arrested, or if anti-terrorist police knock on their door to search their property.
Ibrahim Mogra, a senior imam based in Leicester, said: “After the Madrid bombings and the arrest of terror suspects here, the possibility of an attack has come closer to home, and we as Muslims have to be prepared for such an eventuality, and its consequences. The wise thing to do is to put things in place before an attack. After what we saw after 9/11, it’s likely that a backlash will follow.”
In addition to peaceful Muslim leaders preparing for a possible bombing, there are signs that militants may even have been working to prevent one. According to an associate of Al-Qaeda in Pakistan, attacks on Britain have twice been postponed after representations from British Islamic terrorist-linked groups.
The man said Osama Bin Laden’s organisation had received a specific request “not to disturb London or any other British cities”. He added: “They feel any such attack would greatly hamper their ideological work.”
Still, just going to carry on.

Ping!
Stock up the SPAM, bottled water and duct tape!! =o)
The usual Arab blame game.
If it wasn't the war to use as an excuse for their nihilism; they would take offense to the way Britons wipe their arses and use that to justify their reptilian behavior.
" It will point out that Muslims have a covenant of security not to attack the country in which they live."
Does this mean that it is Ok and normal for muslims to attack
other countries?
what kind of bs is this?
Is this their true agenda?
Maybe we should start building some camps now...?? Just gotta be prepared, in any case we can use them for the Mexicans while we wait.
That seems to be so much hooey.

The Muslims doing the attacking won't be residents of the attacked country. Killing fellow Muslims in the pursuit of jihad is permissible. Their true agenda is to kill anyone who will not profess their brand of Islam. Any claim they make to the contrary is a delaying tactic. The strategic objective is a world dominating Islamic caliphate. They are exceeding patient. They will strike whenever they believe they can succeed.
The Islamic principal of "taquiyyah" is the practice of telling lies to gain advantage over a non-muslim. They don't follow the Christian principal of treating "false witness" as a sinful act. It is perfectly ethical for a Muslim to use a bald-faced lie to gain advantage. I regard the topic of the post as a grand community exercise in "taquiyyah" to deceive the dirty kufrs.
We already have them. The Japanese internment camps were never torn down - somewhere in the west. I remember after 9/11, some Freepers posted pictures.
Maybe there is room for expansion at Guantanamo.
Alcatraz is unoccupied at the moment.
Really? Somebody must have known that we'd need them again one day.
That seems to be so much hooey.
This hastily-written ancient tradition will become effective August 15, 2004.
bttt
Reading between the lines is a dead giveaway. They're expecting extreme violence and hope to avert responsibility for this by laying low. It's okay to kill people in other countries in the cause of Jihad, but not under British noses...at least not yet, not while we can achieve our ends through guile and lies. These people mean business. They've come up with a master plan for worldwide slavery. Islam.
Ah, but the ACLU and other idiot lawyers would sue for their release before the dust had settled from the last explosion.
This sounds like an excellent plan. I bet Wolfowitz and Rummy and friends have already discussed it.
This tactic won't work in the US. An attack anywhere here is an attack on us all. Whether they swam the Rio Grande and are here illegally, or sneaked in on phony passports from Canada through Logan Airport in Boston, they're walking dead men. We will strike back immediately whereever they came from. Europe is, sadly, not truly united. They still think of themselves as Italians, Spanish, French, etc.. Tragedy is coming. Just watching Foxnews. Kerry is giving his support to Bush about his visit to Florida. The fair Teraysa was there, holding hands with her man, who needs massive botox and another face lift. His eyebrows are sagging down to his jowls again, and his forehead wrinkles look like corrugated cardboard. Never mind, when terrorists strike here in the US again, we can rest easy in the knowledge that Kerry's already said he won't respond if the attack is nuclear.
Just noticed the alligator crawl on Foxtv that thousands in South Korea protested the govt's decision to send more troops to Iraq. Reminds me of that dreadful New York murder some years ago, where Kitty Genovese was attacked horribly on the city street and thirteen (I may be wrong about the exact number), people heard or witnessed the attack and failed to call the police, or to help in any way. Similar mindset at work with Muslim/Islam/Jihadist threats and attacks. Pick off nations one by one as the rest hope they'll be eaten last.
