"The Choice is in Your Hands: Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels
2004-09-04
From MEMRI...
The London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported that the extremist Islamic movement Al-Muhajiroun had announced a convention in London, titled "The Choice is in Your Hands: Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels," to mark the third anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The organization had planned a similar anniversary event a year ago, called "The Magnificent 19 [Suicide Attackers]," but had cancelled it at the last minute. The following is a summary of the report:

Al-Muhajiroun leader Omar Bakri, a Syrian residing in London, told the paper by phone that the convention would feature Al-Qa'ida "surprises," with the screening of a never-before-shown video. He said that the convention will focus on "the anniversary of the division of the world into two great camps — the camp of faith and the camp of unbelief," and would take place September 11, 2004 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Bakri added: "On this day, we will talk about the ramifications of these [9/11] operations for Afghanistan and Iraq
 We want the world to remember this operation 
 that lifted the head of the [Muslim] nation." Bakri called 9/11 "a cry of Jihad against unbelief and oppression," and said that the aim of remembering it is to "revive the commandment of Jihad among the youth of the [Muslim] nation."

Bakri said that the convention will also feature a lecture about the Islamic religious roots of "slaughtering the infidels," that is, beheading foreigners in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and that there will be films by Al-Qaida, the Tawhid and Jihad organization, and the Brigades of the Two Holy Places in the Arabian Peninsula, and that there will also be a film on the most recent operations in Chechnya. He added that one of the speeches, by Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, known to be Al-Qaida's military commander in Iraq, will be translated.

Another lecture, he said, would be dedicated to the memory of three Al-Qa'ida commanders: Abd Al-Aziz Al-Muqren (Abu Hajer), killed in June 2004 by Saudi security forces; his predecessor Yousef Al-Ayyiri, killed in June 2003 in a clash with Saudi security forces, and Abu Hafs Al-Masri, a top Al-Qa'ida military officer, killed in the U.S. attack on Kandahar in late 2001.

According to Bakri, the anticipated criticism of Al-Muhajiroun for the organization's insistence on memorializing 9/11 will be "a simple sacrifice in comparison with what we must actually do — that is, support the Jihad led by bin Laden."

Attorney Anjam Choudry, secretary-general of Al-Muhajiroun in Britain, said, "A large hall has already been secured for the convention, but the announcement came only two days ago for fear that the British police would try to cancel it, as happened with the previous convention."

#18  It's really funny there are no 'protesters' marching in the streets of Manhattan in light of the Islamic inflicted bloodbath.....but then again protesting little children shot in the back by imported Arab Muslim gunmen does not fit into the far-leftist Kerry agenda.

The Bush election team need to ball ultra-hardball over the September 11th weekend on this issue plus the Kerry crowd's appeasement policies regarding death cult jihadists, and nail those that continue to tell us (Islamic) 'terrorism is being inflated by Bush.....etc ..bla, & bla and more bla.

#17  I was in NYC and saw the security for the RNC. It was great.

Having said that, I'm sure security can't be perfect all the time, and large gatherings of people can be blown up by others who disagree with their beliefs.

#15  Alaska-Sometimes it seems like it takes a scumbag to cathc a scumbag. IT seems like many Muslims want to live in their own enclaves and not mix. I could be wrong. It just seems it would be easier to infiltrate terrorists organizations by setting up fronts that appear to be condoning this ruthless behavior. There is the old saying about keeping your enemies close and this is a way of doing that...even though it is upsetting to us.
Sometimes when I watch WW2 stuff I am amazed by the ingenuity used to twart the Germans and Japanese. It gives me hope that Islamofacists won't be successful for long; because we will find a way to outsmart them.

#13  They will harp in on the Russians-oppressing-Chechens card after all the kids are buried and the story fades. Too much heat and anger now, Frank.

#11  I'll take "With the Infidels" for $1,000, Alex.

While bombing the location is a bit much, spot checking the identity of and fingerprinting every single person attending or promoting this event certainly seems like a sane proposition.

Of course, hoping for the odd accidental building collapse isn't out of bounds either.

#10  Any similarity between this and George W Bush's "You're either with us or with the Terrorists" is totally coincidental and illusory.

#9  Kyrieleandra---I was thinking of that angle, too. But I am also outraged that the UK lets these guys even into the country. Think about how much resources have been wasted on Stumpy playing footsie with him. He should have been booted back to Yemen and that would be the end of him. We've GOT to get on the offensive. On defense, we are always be a step behind. Same for the US.

#8  I can understand the outrage; but I often wonder if these mad Mullahs are a front. They attract certain scumbags to these meetings and we or the Brits get intelligence on what these swine are planning. Plus if these islamonazis get busted; then they wonder who ratted them out. Maybe they are spies and this is an act to attract Al Qaeda or potential Al Qaeda so they can be stopped.

#7  This place absolutely should be bombed. Either by military means, or by a lone wolf in London, this convention should be bombed. On the 3rd anniversary of our darkest hour, are we going to allow our enemies, the people who are funding & supporting a worldwide network of murder, to gather and glorify their craft? We will never win the WOT by allowing this kinda shit to take place. We need more aggresive tactics. I'm afraid at the rate we are going, in 10 years, we may see a "Magnificent 19" tribute at Ground Zero.

#6  Can you say "target-rich environment"? I knew you could! MOAB to the rescue.

#5  Perhaps it would be best for the TV camera's to remain on during the convention when all the subhuman Islamic death cult members are ground up and fed to pigs. I'm pretty sure that you don't go to Paradise when you're pig dung.

#2  They seem to be saying what we've suspected all along. Where are Gentle and Anti and all the rest now? Refute this if you dare.
