British extremists urge young Muslims to fight against US
By Sandra Laville and Gabriel Rozenberg (Filed: 17/09/2001)
ISLAMIC extremists in Britain are calling on young Muslims to fight to the death against America and her allies.
At a meeting of the Al- Muhajiroun organisation in Birmingham at the weekend, a group of 50 young men and women was encouraged to travel to Afghanistan and give their lives in the defence of Islam.
"Martyrdom operatives will be rewarded in heaven," one speaker declared.
Others on the platform at the meeting, in the suburb of Sparkbrook, asked: "Who are the real terrorists?" and called on the audience to oppose any western reprisals against Osama bin Laden.
Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohamed, the founder of Al-Muhajiroun, has openly courted controversy in Britain.
He supported the bombings of the United States' embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, and said after Tuesday's terror attack: "I am very happy today.
As much as I regret the innocent people who passed away, with the USA you must pay."
Although Al-Muhajiroun is believed to have a membership approaching 1,000, mainstream British Muslims insist that its hardline views are wholly unrepresentative. One speaker at the Sparkbrook meeting accused Americans of widespread butchering of Muslims from Chechnya to Iraq.
He warned moderate Muslims who had condemned last Tuesday's attack that they, too, would be the target of "true" Muslims.
"I am a Muslim first and foremost," he said. "We will never be accepted by the Kufr [the west] so we should not pander to their whims or support their actions like some so-called Muslims have been doing.
"If they continue to do so, it is our duty to persuade them not to. But if they do not listen, they are Kufr too and so it is our duty to fight and even kill them."
Leaflets for the meeting stated: "The final hour will not come until the Muslims conquer the White House." In the background was a picture of the Pentagon in flames.
By contrast, moderate British Muslims worshipping at the Central London Mosque yesterday condemned extremism and the attacks on New York and Washington.
Sultan Pervez, 57, from Hendon, north-west London, called for swift justice against those responsible.
He said: "A madman has done this, whoever it is, if it is Osama bin Laden we have to find him and the sooner justice is done the better. But it has to be a justified policy, revenge is not the answer."
A woman who asked not to be named, said: "It's a terrible loss of life, we don't condone that. "Killing is absolutely against Islam. But it is not right to attack Afghanistan without proof."
I concur.
Cheers.
Let this be a wake-up call to the UK. Stop apologizing for your erstwhile Empire by allowing these people to occupy Albion!

I take it the leaders are not volunteering to accompany these young people whose lives they are so willing to throw away for their cause?
Another generation or two and Islam will be on the level of Wicca.
Ergo, England is harboring Terrorists. Should we not be issuing some sort of ultimatum to England to get rid of the terrorists within their borders? Of course, we have our own purging to take care of as well.
We have to acknowledge that there are some Muslims who share in the elation of the attack but because they are overwhelmed by "Americans", they are remaining silent.
I have little doubt that there are many (not all) who are overjoyed with the attack and if they were in another country where they didn't feel intimidated, they would be dancing in the streets.
I'm absolutely sure that not all Arab Muslims are bad people but it is only PRUDENT to acknowledge the threat.
We need to restrict Muslim immigration and begin doing extensive background checks on all those who are here.
We must not sacrifice prudence for politically correct posturing.
Better politically incorrect and alive than politically correct and dead.
Great advice. By all reports, the hijackers here were friendly nice people, everyone thought they were good and minding their own business. And they were hell bent on killing as many of us as they could.
And the sooner they have, the better.

Bring it scum!

I wish the terrorist scum would go to Afghanistan and die like dogs for allah. What I worry about is the so-called "good muslims" staying put and commiting terrorist acts at home while at the same time decrying racism against themselves with the help of the leftist news media.
"Martyrdom operatives will be rewarded in heaven," one speaker declared.
Amazing that all the "good muslims" in America say Islam is peaceful, how will they respond to these calls to terror?? When will they get on TV and hold marches and CONDEMM these hateful evil killing dogs of Islam???

A prime example of why the US needs to revise the current policy regarding assasination. Omar needs to be silenced.
