1. IRAN-ISRAEL NUCLEAR WAR FEARED

While the BNP opposed the Iraq war from the start, and continues to press for Britain's withdrawal, Iran is a somewhat different case. Britain itself has no business getting involved, but given that Iran has openly threatened a nuclear attack on Israel, and is building the bombs to make good this threat, Israel has the right to defend itself -- as long as they don't drag us into it, of course. We may face similar lunatics ourselves one day, and cannot afford to have a consensus established in the so-called international community that would oblige us to idly sit by and watch our national annihilation being prepared.

Israel has drawn up secret plans to destroy Iran’s uranium enrichment facilities with tactical nuclear weapons. Two Israeli air force squadrons are training to blow up an Iranian facility using low-yield nuclear ‘bunker-busters’, according to several Israeli military sources. The attack would be the first with nuclear weapons since 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Israeli weapons would each have a force equivalent to one-fifteenth of the Hiroshima bomb. Under the plans, conventional laser-guided bombs would open ‘tunnels’ into the targets. ‘Mini-nukes’ would then immediately be fired into a plant at Natanz, exploding deep underground to reduce the risk of radioactive fallout. ‘As soon as the green light is given, it will be one mission, one strike and the Iranian nuclear project will be demolished,’ said one of the sources.

The plans, disclosed to The Sunday Times last week, have been prompted in part by the Israeli intelligence service Mossad’s assessment that Iran is on the verge of producing enough enriched uranium to make nuclear weapons within two years. Israeli military commanders believe conventional strikes may no longer be enough to annihilate increasingly well-defended enrichment facilities. Several have been built beneath at least 70ft of concrete and rock. However, the nuclear-tipped bunker-busters would be used only if a conventional attack was ruled out and if the United States declined to intervene, senior sources said. Israeli and American officials have met several times to consider military action.

Military analysts said the disclosure of the plans could be intended to put pressure on Tehran to halt enrichment, cajole America into action or soften up world opinion in advance of an Israeli attack. Some analysts warned that Iranian retaliation for such a strike could range from disruption of oil supplies to the West to terrorist attacks against Jewish targets around the world. Israel has identified three prime targets south of Tehran which are believed to be involved in Iran’s nuclear programme: Natanz, where thousands of centrifuges are being installed for uranium enrichment A uranium conversion facility near Isfahan where, according to a statement by an Iranian vice-president last week, 250 tons of gas for the enrichment process have been stored in tunnels A heavy water reactor at Arak, which may in future produce enough plutonium for a bomb Israeli officials believe that destroying all three sites would delay Iran’s nuclear programme indefinitely and prevent them from having to live in fear of a ‘second Holocaust’.

The Israeli government has warned repeatedly that it will never allow nuclear weapons to be made in Iran, whose president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, has declared that ‘Israel must be wiped off the map’. Robert Gates, the new US defence secretary, has described military action against Iran as a ‘last resort’, leading Israeli officials to conclude that it will be left to them to strike. Israeli pilots have flown to Gibraltar in recent weeks to train for the 2,000-mile round trip to the Iranian targets. Three possible routes have been mapped out, including one over Turkey. Air force squadrons based at Hatzerim in the Negev desert and Tel Nof, south of Tel Aviv, have trained to use Israel’s tactical nuclear weapons on the mission.

The preparations have been overseen by Major General Eliezer Shkedi, commander of the Israeli air force. Sources close to the Pentagon said the United States was highly unlikely to give approval for tactical nuclear weapons to be used. One source said Israel would have to seek approval ‘after the event’, as it did when it crippled Iraq’s nuclear reactor at Osirak with airstrikes in 1981. Scientists have calculated that although contamination from the bunker-busters could be limited, tons of radioactive uranium compounds would be released. The Israelis believe that Iran’s retaliation would be constrained by fear of a second strike if it were to launch its Shehab-3 ballistic missiles at Israel. However, American experts warned of repercussions, including widespread protests that could destabilise parts of the Islamic world friendly to the West. Colonel Sam Gardiner, a Pentagon adviser, said Iran could try to close the Strait of Hormuz, the route for 20% of the world’s oil. Some sources in Washington said they doubted if Israel would have the nerve to attack Iran. However, Dr Ephraim Sneh, the deputy Israeli defence minister, said last month: ‘The time is approaching when Israel and the international community will have to decide whether to take military action against Iran.’

2. LONDONER IDENTIFIED AS AL QAEDA'S BANKER

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2087-2535240,00.html

The British and American governments have named a key Al-Qaeda suspect in Britain as one of the terror group’s alleged bankers. Mohammed al-Ghabra, whose bank accounts have been frozen by the Bank of England, last week denied any involvement in terrorism. He admitted he had ‘radical views’ and said he was an active supporter of Respect, the anti-war party led by George Galloway, the maverick former Labour MP. The American government has issued a statement ‘designating’ al-Ghabra, who lives in east London, as someone ‘who provides material and logistical support to Al-Qaeda and other terrorist organisations’. The Americans and British intelligence officials allege in official documents that al-Ghabra, 26, is a key organiser in the international ‘pipeline’ that sends terrorists from Britain to fight coalition troops in Iraq. Al-Ghabra, a naturalised British citizen who was born in Syria, received a letter from the Treasury last month telling him: ‘The Treasury has reasonable grounds for suspecting that you are, or may be, a person who facilitates the commission of acts of terrorism.’ Speaking at his home in Forest Gate, al-Ghabra said MI5 had repeatedly accused him in interviews with his friends of being a terrorist ‘moneymaker’.

He said: ‘If I am the moneymaker and this is why they have decided to put the sanctions against me, how could I have so many financial problems myself?’ In its statement, issued after his bank accounts were frozen, the US Treasury said: ‘Al-Ghabra has organised travel to Pakistan for individuals seeking to meet senior Al-Qaeda individuals and to undertake jihad training. ‘Several of these individuals have returned to the UK to engage in covert activity on behalf of Al-Qaeda. Additionally, al-Ghabra has provided material support and facilitated the travel of UK-based individuals to Iraq to support the insurgents’ fight against coalition forces.’ Last month his home, a two-storey maisonette where he lives with his mother and sister, was raided by Scotland Yard’s counterterrorist command.

According to the search warrant, detectives were looking for ‘explosives, precursor chemicals, weapons, component parts of weapons or improvised explosive devices’. They were also looking for ‘documentation, maps, plans or any other data giving details of possible targets/venues subject to terrorist attack’. MI5 has apparently targeted al-Ghabra while conducting an investigation into the so-called ‘pipeline’ that is fuelling the terrorist insurgency in Iraq. The flow of young Muslim men from Europe to Iraq has increased in the past three years. The ‘pipeline’ of suspected terrorists is being fuelled by growing resentment about American and British policy and scandals such as the maltreatment of inmates at Abu Ghraib prison. Al-Ghabra says that MI5 is simply wrong to connect him to any of this. ‘I don’t have the capability of supporting anyone financially, barely myself . . . If anyone has the evidence, please show it to me. I am not the banker.’ He was charged with fraud and possession of a document or record that could be useful to terrorism and spent nine months in Belmarsh high-security prison in south London before being acquitted by a jury in 2004. He says he is an active member of the Muslim Prisoner Support group, which campaigns for the rights of suspected Islamic terrorists. The group’s website says he was a speaker at a demonstration it held outside Belmarsh last October.

British intelligence officials claim al-Ghabra is associated with several suspects who have been arrested in connection with alleged Al-Qaeda plots against British targets. One is Haroon Aswat, currently in a British prison awaiting extradition to America on terrorism charges. Al-Ghabra said he met Aswat at a religious school in the Pakistani city of Lahore. He said their association was entirely innocent and he was ‘shocked’ to see Aswat’s picture on television when he was arrested in 2005 after the London bombings. Al-Ghabra said he had attended several Respect meetings because he supported its views on Iraq and other issues. He claimed to have nominated some of its election candidates.

The party said records were no longer available to confirm this. ‘I don’t believe I am a member of any party, but I help people who speak for people who are oppressed. I support their (Respect’s) message. I like some of his (Galloway’s) views on the anti-war campaign, even some of his taxation ideas.’ A spokesman for Respect said: ‘He is not a member and we don’t know him. But we also understand that he has not been charged with any offence or convicted in a court of law.’ The American Treasury claims al-Ghabra is ‘in regular contact with UK-based Islamic extremists and has been involved in the radicalisation of individuals in the UK through the distribution of extremist media’. But al-Ghabra denied that his views were extreme. ‘My radical views are the same as any ordinary Muslim’s radical views. Yes, I disagree with the invasion of Iraq. Yes, I disagree with the invasion of Afghanistan . . . I don’t agree with people coming here and . . . fighting here, fighting the British public. Things like the July bombings I don’t agree with.’

3. ISLAMIST EXTREMISM AT MOSQUES IN BRITAIN

Further proof of the hopeless naivete of Tony Blair, who thinks he can pick out 'bengin' Muslims. If even the PM can't tell who's dangerous and who's not, how can we risk have any of them in the country?

http://www.zeenews.com/articles.asp?aid=346499&sid=WOR&ssid=

An undercover investigation by a leading daily has revealed disturbing evidence of Islamic extremism at a number of Britain's leading mosques and Muslim institutions, including an organization praised by Prime Minister Tony Blair. According to the 'Observer', secret video footage revealed Muslim preachers exhorting followers to prepare for jihad, to hit girls for not wearing the Hijab, and to create a 'state within a state.' Many of the preachers are linked to the Wahhabi strain of Islam practiced in Saudi Arabia, which funds a number of Britain's leading Islamic institutions.

A forthcoming channel 4 dispatches programme paints an alarming picture of how preachers in some of Britain's most moderate mosques are urging followers to reject British laws in favour of those of Islam. Leaders of the mosques have expressed concern at the preachers activities, saying they were unaware such views were being disseminated. At the Sparkbrook mosque, run by UK Islamic Mission (Ukim), an organization that maintains 45 mosques in Britain and which Tony Blair has said 'is extremely valued by the government for its multi-faith and multicultural activities,' a preacher is captured on film praising the Taliban.

In response to the news that a British Muslim soldier was killed fighting the Taliban, the Speaker declares: 'the hero of Islam is the one who separated his head from his shoulders.' Another Speaker says Muslims cannot accept the rule of non-Muslims. 'You cannot accept the rule of non-Muslim,' a preacher, Dr Ijaz Mian, tells a meeting held within the mosque. 'We have to rule ourselves and we have to rule the others.' The 12-month investigation also recorded a deputy headmaster of an Islamic high school in Birmingham telling a conference at the Sparkbrook mosque that he disagrees with using the word democracy. 'They should call it... Kuffrocracy, that's their plan. It's the hidden cancerous aim of these people.' The Darul Uloom School said it no longer employed the teacher and that one of the reasons he resigned 'was the incompatibility of many of his opinions with the policies of the school.'

Inside the Green Lane mosque in Birmingham, a preacher is recorded saying, 'Allah has created the woman deficient.' A satellite broadcast from the grand mufti of Saudi Arabia, Sheikh Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh, beamed into the green lane mosque suggests that Muslim children should be hit if they don't pray: 'when he is seven, tell him to go and pray, and start hitting them when they are 10.' Another preacher is heard saying that if a girl 'doesn't wear Hijab, we hit her.' In a statement to channel 4, Lord Ahmed, the convener of the government's preventing extremism taskforce, said he was worried about the programme's consequences. 'While I appreciate that exaggerated opinions make good TV, they do not make for good community relations.'

4. ISLAMIST EXTREMISM AT UNIVERSITIES IN BRITAIN

http://www.speroforum.com/site/article.asp?idarticle=7340

In 1994, the Indian High Commissioner, L. M. Singhvi, claimed that Muslim students at British colleges and universities were being recruited by Islamist terror groups in India. The London School of Economics and the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies were claimed to be places where students were particularly susceptible to such recruitment. After followers of Hizb ut-Tahrir murdered Ayotunde Obanubi on Monday February 27, 1995, at Newham College of Further Education, repercussions ensued. The National Union of Students banned the group from its meetings in the same year. In 1996, Omar Bakri Mohammed either resigned or was expelled from the British Hizb ut-Tahrir group which he had founded. Hizb ut-Tahrir continued to campaign on campuses, intimidating Muslim women into wearing veils, but it was not allowed to speak publicly or hold meetings in student union buildings.

With Bakri no longer an active member, the group promoted itself as a 'non-violent' organization, even though it remained virulently anti-Semitic and opposed to democracy. Bakri took his most violent and extremist members from Hizb ut-Tahrir and officially founded British Al-Muhajiroun in February 1996. Bakri took on the role of 'Emir' or 'spiritual leader', while his deputy was Anjem Choudary, a former lawyer. The Institute for Counter-Terrorism last month reported on a recent conversation (in Arabic) between Bakri and the newspaper Asharq Alawsat. Here he said that Al Muhajiroun targeted more than 48 different universities in Britain, including Cambridge, Oxford, Durham, the LSE, Imperial College, Westminster University, and King's College. This figure is twice the amount claimed by Professor Anthony Glees in his 2005 study 'When Students Turn To Terror'. The London School of Economics, according to a 2002 report, was certainly a locus for Islamist terror recruitment. In a report by UK intelligence, it was claimed that Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, who had became a student at the LSE in 1992, went to Bosnia in 1993 and the following year became involved in Kashmiri terrorist groups, including Jaish-e-Mohammed. He was arrested in 1994 after a police shoot-out following the kidnapping of three British backpackers. He escaped from jail in 1999, and was captured by Pakistani police on February 12, 2002.

Omar Sheikh was captured for his involvement in the kidnapping and beheading of US journalist Daniel Pearl, and given a death sentence on July 15, 2002. Bizarrely, President Pervez Musharraf of Pakistan states in his recent book 'In The Line Of Fire' that Omar Sheikh had been originally recruited by Britain's international intelligence agency, MI6. Omar Sheikh admits to meeting Osama bin Laden twice, but claims his allegiance is more to Mullah Omar of the Taliban. Omar Sheikh is said to have financed the 9/11 terrorist, Mohammed Atta. The 2002 intelligence report claims that another student from the LSE recruited for Jaish-e-Mohammed, and a third man who was arrested for involvement in the 2001 attack upon the Indian parliament (killing seven) actually lectured to Muslim students at the LSE in 1999. An official at the LSE claimed: 'There was some activity in the mid-1990s.

Together with the students' union we checked that only bona fide students were actually linked to the Islamic society.' In 2000, members of Al-Muhajiroun were physically expelled from a freshers' fair at the LSE after trying to recruit students. Al-Muhajiroun declared that there was a 'covenant of security' between British Muslims and the UK, which meant that while Muslims were allowed to operate there would be no terrorist attacks on British soil. In 2005, the Sunday Times stated that more than a dozen Al-Muhajiroun members had gone on to become suicide bombers abroad. These included Asif Hanif, who had been one of two Britains involved in the April 2003 attack upon Mike's Bar on the Tel Aviv sea front, which killed three and wounded sixty. In October 2004, Omar Bakri Mohammed announced that Al-Muhajiroun would be disbanding. In February 2005, he declared that the 'covenant of security' had ended. Four months later, 52 people died when four Muslims, two of whom had been university-educated, decided to enact 'jihad' in London. Though Al-Muhajiroun was disbanded, it nonetheless continued under other names, with exactly the same membership. It became the Saviour Sect and Al Ghurabaa.

These groups were still led by the 'Emir', Omar Bakri Mohammed. The Saviour Sect soon changed its name to become the Saved Sect. Changing of names is a tactic also employed by Hizb ut-Tahrir in its recruitment drives, where its activists hide behind groups with innocuous titles - East London Youth Forum, the Debate Society, the Muslim Women's Cultural Forum, the Islamic Society, the One Nation Society, the Millennium Society, the Pakistan Society and the 1924 Committee. After the July 7, 2005 bombings Tony Blair announced in August that he intended to ban Hizb ut-Tahrir. When Blair made this announcement, the Islamist group which professed 'non-violence' threatened to create riots. To this day Hizb ut-Tahrir has still not been banned in Britain. The UK home secretary, John Reid, banned the former Al-Muhajiroun groups in July 2006. This ban has done nothing to stop Omar Bakri's followers, as in November 2005 the same core membership of Al-Muhajiroun had founded Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, under the leadership of Anjem Choudary. When Bakri fled to Lebanon in August 2005, he was banned from returning. For two decades he had controlled young Muslims, urging them to claim welfare benefits, to refuse to work and to never vote. But he continued to use the internet to inspire his followers. In July 2005, it was reported by the National Union of Students that Al-Muhajiroun and Hizb ut-Tahrir members were still trying to recruit members from Scottish universities, using 'front' names to avoid detection.

Imran Waheed, the head spokesperson of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, said: 'We are an intellectual and political movement and we work in Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh. Universities should be a forum for debate and we are trying to overturn the NUS ban which we believe is completely unjustified.' In October 2005, it was revealed that Hizb ut-Tahrir, under another name, was recruiting at University College London, London University's School of Oriental Studies, Luton University and others. Capitalizing on the leftist students' love of the term 'Islamophobia' to stifle rational debate about Islamism, Hizb ut-Tahrir were operating under the title 'Stop Islamophobia'. Anjem Choudary followed his 'Emir' to Lebanon, but was deported in November 2005. Unable to speak or recruit at British universities, Choudary was within a week addressing students at the historic Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Choudary said that because Ireland supported the US (with its planes refueling at Shannon Airport), it was a potential target for terrorism. On November 1, 2005 Ann Cryer, a Labour politician, MP for Keighley, claimed that one university in West Yorkshire was being targeted by members of Hizb ut-Tahrir, who were threatening students. She did not mention the name of the university, for fear it would affect enrollment, but it is believed to be the University of Bradford. She said: 'When I went to the university a few weeks ago I was told that Hizb ut-Tahrir has taken over the Islamic society and was preparing to take over the students union.' On August 10, 2006, it was revealed that a massive plot, involving about twenty British Muslims, had been halted.

This plot had involved a plan to smuggle liquid explosives onto several US-bound airlines. These were to be reassembled into bombs on board flights, in the manner first outlined by Ramzi Yousef in 1995, in his notorious 'Operation Bojinka'. One of the suspects in this plot was 22-year old Waheed Zaman from Walthamstow, north-east London, who was head of the Islamic Society at London Metropolitan University. Zaman was later charged under Section 1 (1) of the Criminal Law Act 1977, as he had 'conspired with other persons to murder other persons'. In relation to this conspiracy he was charged under Section 5 (1) of the Terrorism Act 2006. - 'preparing to smuggle parts of improvised explosive devices on to aircraft and assemble and detonate them on board.' Zaman was a member of the extremist group Tablighi Jamaat. The Sunday Telegraph visited the two portable cabins which served as London Metropolitan University's Islamic Society, based on the campus at Hornsey Road, north London. Here, they found literature and audio cassettes from Omar Bakri Mohammed and Al-Muhajiroun. A newsletter found in the Islamic Society called freedom of speech 'undeniably one of the most central deviated forms of moral decline that non-believers have developed.' The problem of radical Islam on British university campuses is entrenched, and any attempts to address the problem are met with whines of 'Islamophobia' from Muslims and leftists.

Professor Anthony Glees received hostility from Muslims and others for his 2005 report. The vice-chancellor of his university, Steven Schwartz, wrote him a letter stating: 'I have been receiving some surprising letters from other v-cs (vice-chancellors) complaining about your report. Some complain about your research methods. Others seem to resent being lumped in with universities that might be inadvertent homes to people bent on terrorism. One v-c seems to think that I should (or could) shut you up.' Glees runs the Brunel Center for Intelligence and Security Studies at Brunel University. As he himself admitted in his 2005 report, Brunel was not immune from the specter of jihadist recruitment. One individual who became targeted for recruitment at Brunel was Jawad Syed. In his first year, Syed knew no-one but was befriended by Muslim students. Gradually, they encouraged him to isolate himself from other students, including Muslims. He said: 'They were very much anti-western with anti-western sentiments. And I clearly saw and experienced that they would use any means to achieve their aims, including violence.... Once they've established that basis of hatred they have you. And then you start working closely with them, under their political agenda, in achieving their greater aim.' Jawad Syed is the protege of an imam who tries to 'deprogram' young Muslims who have been indoctrinated by radical Islamists. This man, Sheikh Musa Adami, has been chaplain of London Metropolitan University since 2002. Adami's group is called the Luqman Institute of Education and Development. Despite his concerns about Islamic extremism, Adami failed to recognize the extremist literature which proliferated in Waheed Zaman's Islamic Society, at his own university. In November 2006, Adami's charity reported that Islamist activists were operating at Brunel University, Bedfordshire University, Sheffield Hallam University and Manchester Metropolitan University.

The Luqman institute was deprogramming up to ten students from Brunel University. The Sunday Times reported that at Sheffield Hallam University in 2006, the Islamic Society hosted a lecture by Sheikh Khalid Yasin. This US preacher is a convert from Christianity, who has said: 'There's no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend.' Yasin interprets literally the injunction in the Koran (Sura 4:34) that men should be able to beat their wives. The Muslim chaplain at London's Goldsmith's College is Shakeel Begg, who is also the imam at Lewisham & Kent Mosque in Ladywell, south London. In late 2006, he gave a lecture to Muslim students at Kingston University. Here, he encouraged his audience to fight jihad. He said: 'You want to make jihad? Very good... Take some money and go to Palestine and fight, fight the terrorists, fight the Zionists.' In October 2006, a lecture was held at Staffordshire University, entitled 'The true word of God - the Koran or the Bible.' The lecture was given by a former member of Al-Muhajiroun. Access to universities is still fairly easy for those who are not registered students. On November 7, 2006, Dhiren Barot (pictured) was sentenced to a minimum of forty years' jail for his plots to commit terrorist atrocities in New York, Washington, Newark and Britain. Among his plans, the convert from Hinduism, had included a plan to create a 'dirty bomb' or 'radiological dispersion device.

His plans involved the radioactive substance Americium-241 and, as revealed by the Metropolitan Police Press Bureau, they were not idle fantasies. They contained clear details (which have been blacked out for security purposes) based on scientific information. To gather data for his plans, Barot had used a forged pass to enter Brunel University. Imperial College is a prestigious university in west London, with a good reputation for nuclear research. In November 2005, it introduced a ban on Muslim face-veils, as a security procedure. However, despite its vigilance, this university is not without risk. On December 27, 2006, it was revealed that investigators from Scotland Yard's Counterterrorism Command made an extensive inspection of the university's security. They focused particularly on the nuclear research facilities. The university has its own nuclear reactor, and with inspectors from the Environment Agency and the Health Protection, Scotland Yard officers checked the nuclear facilities, and took stock of radioactive isotopes. They also did extensive inspection at Harefield Hospital, which has combined its research facilities with Imperial College. The reason for the inspection has resulted from intelligence which suggests that Islamic extremists have targeted Imperial College. Though the activities of Hizb ut-Tahrir seem to involve mentally 'preparing' students for the arrival of jihadist recruiters, in 2005, Mustafa Arif, president of Imperial College's student union, which is not affiliated to the National Union of Students, said of the group: 'The culture here would never have been to bar them. They were very small and died out about five years ago. They are nothing compared with some hotheads you read about.

As a Muslim I find Hizb a nonsense. Physically they are harmless...' With such attitudes abounding, it is perhaps no wonder that Imperial College has now been highlighted as a security risk. Britain's politicians and security services have not always been as vigilant as they should be in rooting out Islamist extremism from either communities or educational establishments. The leftists at Britain's universities have not helped in the attempts to protect against terrorism. In November 2006, when the Department of Education and Skills urged university lecturers were urged to inform police Special Branch of any Muslim students who appeared to be extremist, Muslims, student unions and universities condemned the suggestion. Preachers such as Omar Bakri Mohammed are still influencing British Muslims to engage in jihad. From his base in Lebanon, Bakri uses the internet to preach on an almost nightly basis. He recently said about terrorist attacks upon Dublin's Shannon Airport: 'Hit the target and hit it very hard, that issue should be understood.' Bakri explained his position clearly in 2004, when he said: ''We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents. Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value. It has no sanctity.'

The British authorities failed to act against radical preachers such as Bakri when they began their campaigns of indoctrination. Such negligence has ultimately led to homegrown suicide bombings and a climate of fear and tension. Universities are for education. Because of Britain's complacent climate of multicultural tolerance, universities are now rife with individuals who do not seek to share common values of liberty and democracy. It is ironic that in Britain's establishments of education, there are so many politically naive activists who still need, more than anyone else, to be educated about the dangers of Muslim extremism.

5. ISLAMIST EXTREMISTS RECRUITING FOR SOMALI WAR ON UK INTERNET SITES

http://www.zone-h.org/content/view/14481/30

The UK website Muntadaa.net has recently issued a call to British Muslims to travel to Somalia and fight alongside Islamist forces there, currently under attack by Ethiopian troops and their Somali allies . Muntadaa is part of a wide network managed by a group of British jihad supporters known as 'The Followers of Ahl Us-Sunnah Wal Jamma' (original group formed by Omar Bakri) and specifically, the forum where the above announcement has been posted on December 28th is defined as ‘A forum for those who endeavour to be like the Prophet (SAW) and his companions(RA)’.

The message has been posted by a user of the site and it claims that 'The Ethiopians with full international support (from the Christian crusader regimes) and directly backed by illegitimate Israel (Zionists) have violated the blood of the Muslims in Somalia. By committing such an act of terrorism the Muslims in Somalia and nearby lands have responded to the divine call of Jihad.’ This ‘divine call’ is the reason why the support to the Jihad all over the world is considered as Fard Ayn (an individual obligation) by Islamic people: they are called to fulfil this duty ‘financially, physically and verbally’. ‘This honourable act must be carried out according to your own capabilities because our beloved Prophet Muhammad (saw) said Strike the Mushrik with you wealth, hands and tongue. [Sunan Nisai]. Therefore no Muslim (man or woman) has an excuse of doing nothing at all.’

The link between Muslims is maybe the most valuable strength of Islam, that is based on the principle that ‘ the Muslim Ummah is one Ummah at the exclusion of all others, their land is one, their war is one, their peace is one and their trust is one. [Saheeh Muslim]’. 'The Followers of Ahl Us-Sunnah Wal Jamma' has been involved in many initiatives to support the Islamic CAUSA that have been widely spread on the internet: last February, for instance, the network created by Omar Bakri organized a conference and a manifestation to spread another appeal, this time from Palestine, to support the jihad against Israel and in particular to defend AL-AQSA mosque: ‘The Followers of Ahl Us-Sunnah wal Jamma call upon the Ummah of Rasoul Allah (saw) to remember that the Mosque of Al-Aqsa is linked to the belief of each one of us.’ ‘The Followers of Ahl Us-Sunnah wal Jamma call upon all Muslims to expose the Jewish and Christian conspiracy to keep Muslims divided and to steal their resources and we urge you to expose them.

Verily the real motive of the occupiers is not to please God but to destroy Al-Aqsa Mosque in the hope of finding the lost treasure of Sulayman (as). The Followers of Ahl Us-Sunnah wal Jamma call all Imams of Mosques and Community leaders to motivate Muslims wherever they are to put pressure on their brothers to rise to do their job of defending the sanctity of Allah (SWT), his Messenger Muhammad (saw) and the Muslims in this time of need for indeed Allah (SWT) will account each one of us for our responsibilities.’ Just a few days before, the group published a message related to the issue of the Danish pictures on Prophet Mohammed , that urged Muslims to ‘RISE TO DEFEND THE HONOUR OF THE MESSENGER MUHAMMAD (SAW)!’, and to join a demonstration in front of the Danish embassy to protest against ‘CHRISTIAN CRUSADE AGAINST ISLAM ACROSS EUROPE’ .
