| Brit fundos issue 'holy war' warning |
| 2002-08-14 |
| Radical Islamic leaders in London issued a thinly-veiled threat yesterday that the United States and Britain could face a terrorist onslaught akin to the September 11 attacks if they go to war on Iraq. Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, a preacher from north London, said he and other radicals would issue a fatwa, or religious edict, telling Muslims how to respond to the "evil" of an attack. I still haven't figured out why this orifice isn't in jug, almost a year later. Even better, in jug in Syria." Islamic hardliners have little love for Saddam Hussein, but they see any US-British military action against Iraq as the greater evil, part of a "Satanic alliance" against Muslims around the world. To each his own, I guess. Some people's own is kinda disconnected from reality... "I believe September 11 was a direct response to the evil American policy in the Muslim world," said Sheikh Omar Bakri. "We do not want another event like this in the West. ... he said, piously... "If there is an attack by the British Government against Muslims abroad, then Muslims abroad have the right to retaliate and defend themselves. Muslims in Britain are not allowed to do anything. But I believe the Government must expect a lot of resistance from Muslims outside the UK. We are giving sincere advice to the British Government and the British public so they understand the consequences of playing with fire." Muslims, and especially Muslim preachers, never play with fire, do they? I guess once they achieve Al-Muhajiroun's goal of establishing an Islamic state in Britain it won't be considered playing with fire... |

| #1 I wonder what the Chief Druid, cum Archbishop of Canterbury in waiting, has said concerning this ecumenical statement on the part of his Moslem brethren. |
