Everything I ever needed to know about militant “Islam,” I learned on 9/11.
“Islamic Extremists Guilty Of Airline Bomb Plot”
Kudos to the London Times for properly identifying who they are - and in the headlines no less.
The NY Slimes would have reprted it as “Three British Citizens...”
I wonder how many weeks they will get in jail in UK.

“Three guilty of airline bomb plot”
Three men have been found guilty of plotting to kill thousands of people by blowing up planes flying from London to America with home-made liquid bombs.
A Woolwich Crown Court jury convicted Abdulla Ahmed Ali, 28, Tanvir Hussain, 28, and Assad Sarwar, 29, of conspiring to activate bombs disguised as drinks.
Four other men were found not guilty of involvement in the suicide bomb plot.
The arrests in August 2006 caused chaos to international aviation and prompted the current restrictions on liquids.
The jury heard that at the time of his arrest, plot ringleader Ahmed Ali had identified seven US and Canada-bound flights to blow up over the Atlantic within a two-and-a-half-hour period.
They were flights from London’s Heathrow airport to San Francisco, Washington, New York, Chicago, Toronto and Montreal. Had the planes taken to the air with bombers on board, there would have been little chance of saving them.”

“Airline bomb plot: mosque has been recruiting ground for 20 years
Sean O’Neill, Crime and Security Editor
SNIPPET: “The mosque frequented by key members of the airline plot terror cell has been a recruiting ground for Islamist extremists for more than 20 years, The Times can reveal.
The Queen’s Road mosque in Walthamstow, East London, was a regular place of worship and meeting place for central figures from the group.
Abdullah Ahmed Ali, the cell leader, prayed there and met with his associates including Waheed Zaman, who lived opposite.
The mosque is currently under the control of Tablighi Jamaat, an ultraorthodox Islamic sect which preaches that Muslims should replicate the life of Muhammad and tells them it is their duty to travel the world converting non-believers to the one true faith.”
