Extremist Muslim clerics will meet in London on September 11 to celebrate the anniversary of Al-Qaida's attacks on the United States and to launch an organisation for Islamic militants, said an organiser of the conference.

Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed of Al-Muhajiroun, a radical group that supports making Britain an Islamic state, said on Saturday the conference will argue that the terror attacks were justified because Muslims must defend themselves against armed aggression.

The event at Finsbury Park mosque in north London, "September 11, 2001: A Towering Day in History," will also mark the launch the Islamic Council of Britain. Mohammed said the council will aim to implement Sharia law in Britain and will not exclude Al-Qaida sympathizers from membership.

The conference will discuss the "positive outcomes" of September 11, which delegates perceived as a battle against an "evil superpower," he said.

"I did not praise September 11 after it happened but it becomes more clear now why they did it, although I personally regret the loss of life," he said.

Mohammed said he had secured a six-figure sum to fund the he Islamic council, which would build a dozen Islamic centres, launch a website and hold classes for Muslims.

"We will not stop Al-Qaida people from joining. To us they are devoted people who were trying to stop the invasion of a Muslim country," Mohammed said. Also due to attend the meeting on Wednesday are Yasser al-Sirri and Abu Hamza al-Masri, a cleric at the Finsbury Park mosque, which is widely regarded as a center of radical Islam in Britain.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2001: "ATTACK ON AMERICA!"

Wondering what Tony Blair & the Queen think of this?

Hmmm. These clerics are described as "extreme," but has anyone found many islamic "mainstream" clerics denouncing them? How about just one islamic cleric or imam of any substantial congregation saying unequivocally that these assembled clerics in Great Britain are flat wrong, on the outer fringe, or just not espousing the true tenents of Mohammad? How about finding in these "mainstream" clerics just one fellow to say that Islam condemns the actions of Usama Bn'Laden and the Al Queda?

Anybody? Anybody? Bueller?

Excuse my ignorance but is that a spoof calendar? I remember the postings post 09/11 about the calendar from last year which had some graphic depictions of Islamakazi intentions.

This meeting will be teeming wth UK and US secret agents. The stupidest thing they could possibly do is meet together publicly.

Oh my. Couldn't they hit the Effete Eiffel Tower instead?...

If these so-called Muslim clerics wore brown shirts and swastika armbands instead of turbans and robes, they'd have been locked up or deported long ago. Britain is sowing the seeds of its own destruction by letting these murderous swine have free reign.

[nimc]

Exactly my opinion! Where is the outrage of the 'good' Muslims? Isn't their virtual silence on these supposed "fringe extremist" sects doing evil under the name of their religion a tacit approval?

"The event at Finsbury Park mosque"

A good place to drop a daisy cutter if you ask me.

[nopardons]

Any more news, over there, about this ?

It's a parody I made of the Sept '01 real calendar.

[Arthur McGowan]

Is this real? I remember the 2001 calendar showing the planes crashing in New York.
