Iraqi War 'Would Spark British Terror Attacks'

Iraqi war 'would spark British terror attacks'

Radical Muslim leaders say a war against Iraq could spark September 11-style terrorist attacks in Britain and the US.

London-based fundamentalists are to issue a joint "Islamic verdict" condemning plans for US-led military action against Saddam Hussein.

At a press conference in London, extreme Islamic groups are to warn that the inevitable consequence of such a war would be retaliation.

In a statement, they said: "If the US and the UK continue to play with fire there can only be one consequence which is of them to burn their hands and to choke on the smoke - September 11th being an example."

Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, a cleric and leading figure in the fundamentalist Al-Muhajiroun group, has urged Muslims in Britain not to adopt violent tactics.

He says he knows that Islamist radicals abroad are threatening to launch retaliatory attacks for any assault on Iraq.

Speaking to the BBC he said he condemned all violence, but described the September 11 suicide hijackings as "a direct response to the evil American policy in the Muslim world".

I believe if the Middle Eastern, or Islamic folk want to stay safe. They might ask for a nice group camp to sit out this war. It could be very hazardous for their health to be outside if anything happened to my home.

It would definitely help weed out the fifth columnists among the Arab/Muslim populations in Western countries.

The thing is, this influences the British.

They hear this, they want no part of helping their allies.

Europeans are worthless.

Time to arm the non-Muslim citizenry. They won't do this here, because it means they won't be here very long.

This guy is trying to talk out of both sides of his mouth to avoid arrest by Brits counterterrorism folks if they have any. Yep...racial/cultural diversity is something we really needed especially when you even include those that want to destroy your civilization. These people are a malignancy in every civilized society into which they have infiltrated. Immediate ethnic cleansing is the only answer.
