"Moderate" Muslim Cleric in UK claims no such thing as al-Qa'eda
The most senior Islamic cleric in Birmingham claimed yesterday that Muslims were being unjustly blamed in the war on terrorism and that the eight suspects in the two bombing attacks on London "could have been innocent passengers".
Right....Kinda like the Unabomber being an innocent, anti-government, anti-technology hermit.
Mohammad Naseem, the chairman of the city's central mosque, called Tony Blair a "liar" and "unreliable witness" and questioned whether CCTV footage issued of the suspected bombers was of the perpetrators.
News flash from the 21st century. It is called forensic science and DNA dipwad.
He said that Muslims "all over the world have never heard of an organisation called al-Qa'eda".
Right, and I'm really George Bush.
Mr Naseem, who was speaking after police seized Yasin Hassan Omar in Birmingham, delivered his unprompted outburst when he was invited to a press conference with West Midlands police and Birmingham city council to help calm fears of racial or religious tension after the arrest.
Oh boy am I calm now. Mmmmhmm. Don't feel any threat by the Islamic forces. Nosireeee.
It was held near the police cordon in Heybarnes Road, where Omar was arrested.

His comments shocked senior police officers.

Sources said that attempts to encourage Muslims to pass them information on the bombers' activities would be hindered. One said: "We are trying to gain the trust of the Muslim community and these kinds of comments have the opposite effect. All they do is encourage communities to close ranks against us."
Give this man a ClueBat
To the obvious embarrassment of council officials and police standing next to him, Mr Naseem said the Government and security services "were not to be relied upon".
By all means, don't rely on them. Vigilantes work very well.
He said: "Tony Blair has told lies on going to Iraq and in a court of law if a witness has proved to be a liar he ceases to be a reliable witness. So we cannot give our blind trust to the Government.
Which court of "law" is this? Moooslem courts in the UK don't count.
"To have that trust it is important that the process of law should be independent, open and transparent. I am also sad that unfortunately the impression has been given that Muslims are to be targeted in this war against terror. There seems to be a directive to target Muslims. Why do we not have an open mind about this?
'Cause Moooslems keep blowing us up, asshole! I'll open your mind, with a .45 hollowpoint if you even think of threatening my familiy.
"Muslim bashing seems to be more earnest than the need for national unity and harmony. Terrorists can be anybody - we will have to see [whether the bombers are Muslims]. The process is not open; the process is not transparent; the process is not independent. I do not have faith in the system as it stands."
We don't have faith in you and your communities to keep the hate out of our countries.
Mr Naseem is one of the most respected by who?!?! Osama?!?! Muslims in the city and is considered a zelot moderate. He has regular meetings with the chief constable to discuss religious harmony.
News flash, they will only have religious harmony with us when we convert to Islam, bonehead. Read the rest of this guy's spew at link. The UK is gonna be sorry they let this moron in.
