ISLAM-ONLINE.net: "ANOTHER CLAIM OF LONDON BLASTS BY AL-QAEDA" (July 9, 2005)

ADNKI.com: Dubai - "TERRORISM: "ABU HAFS BRIGADES CALL SLEEPING EUROPEAN CELLS TO ACTION" (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Abu Hafs al-Misri Brigades have called their 'sleeping' European cells to action with a message published on some of the most important Islamist internet forums saying: "We ask all waiting mujahideen, wherever they are, to carry out the planned attack." The message follows months of silence from the group which claimed responsibility for the Madrid train bombings on March 11 last year and threatened Italy last summer. This time, part of the message is addressed directly to the European cells. The first part of the 'Message to the mujahideen in Europe', however, is directed at the Iraqi groups and reads: "We of the Abu Hafs al-Misri Brigades call on all our cells in Iraq to close ranks and start the bloody war against the enemies of Islam. We send out a message to America and its allies, wherever they are, to state that we will not let the sacrilege of the Koran pass unnoticed and there all be a reply in the future."") (May 30, 2005)

-- The fatal flaw of Britain's and Europe's establishment today is not just its shameless worship at the altar of statism; rather, it is its failure to defend the region's historic, Christian-nurtured culture (the West) against Islamic-nurtured culture (the East). By liberally and uncritically opening its borders to millions of fanatical immigrant religionists, all Europe (including the insular Brits) flirts with actual cultural suicide.

Islamic reformist hosts website used by group to claim responsibility

I have maintained for quite some time that there is no separation within the Islamic community worldwide between "moderates" and "radicals." One of the most telling indications that Muslim condemnations of this or that terrorist act may not be sincere is that mosque leaders in Western countries have made no concerted effort to bar from their premises those who are sympathetic to or even active in the violent jihad. This is another example: al-Fagih has been known as a "reformist," but now he turns out to be hosting this jihad site and may have other terrorist ties. "British Muslims denounce strike as London man linked to attack: Islamic reformist hosts website used by group to claim responsibility," from the Ottawa Citizen, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

LONDON - As British Muslim leaders intensified their condemnations of the terror strikes against the city, a London Islamic reformist was identified yesterday as the operator of the website al-Qaeda sympathizers used to claim responsibility for the carnage.
The Evening Standard newspaper says London-based Saudi dissident Saad Al-Fagih, an Iraqi-born doctor and founder of the Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia, runs the Al-Qal'ah Internet site used by a group calling itself the Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe to claim responsibility for Thursday's attacks.

Authorities have yet to verify the claim by the previously unknown group and Mr. Al-Fagih, 48, has denied involvement.

But the newspaper said Mr. Al-Fagih has previously been linked to terrorism by U.S. officials.

In December, his assets, including his comfortable suburban home, were frozen by the Bank of England after U.S. Treasury officials accused his website of being routinely used to transmit clandestine messages to groups affiliated with al-Qaeda and to potential new terror recruits, the newspaper said.
