Islamic "Leader" Hails Chechen Attack
2004-09-09
Says similar operation would be justified in UK
A UK-based Islamic extremist movement said that last week's abduction of Russian children by Chechen terrorists should be repeated in Britain. Al-Muhajiroun spiritual leader Omar Bakri hailed last week's attack on a school in southern Russia in which close to 400 people, including many children, were killed, and said that holding women and children hostages would be reasonable for a Muslim who has suffered under British rule.
Surprise meter reading: Nil.
Exasperation meter reading: Off the charts.
Bakri told The Sunday Telegraph, "If an Iraqi Muslim carried out an attack like that in Britain, it would be justified because Britain has carried out acts of terrorism in Iraq. ... As long as the Iraqi did not deliberately kill women and children, and they were killed in the crossfire, that would be OK."
My B.S. meter is also pegging. Aren't these sorts of interviews usually given to Arabic- or Urdu-language publications? Or in a Friday sermon? I don't think the Telegraph's readership would be very agreeable to these statements.

#18  #3 Mark: "The Russian school children bloodbath was the 2nd 9-11."

I humbly disagree. This was Russia's 9/11! We've had (since 9/11) the shooting at El-Al counter at LAX, Bali nightclub bombing, multiple Soddy bombings, Spain bombing of train, Phillipines bombings, multiple beheadings (online, courtesy of ME's "free speech"), and numerous "martyr" bombings in Israel! But, wait, we can't say they were all committed by the RoP(TM), now can we? My guess is, is that France (already have kidnap victims) and Germany are next! I hope the Russkies commit the acts outlined in #13 in response to this (they'll be able to "get away" with it, whereas the US can't...at least in the press).

#17  What angers me more than what he said is knowing nothing will be done about it because we don't want to offend him.

If we are not willing to take appropriate actions to deadly threats, we cannot blame anybody but ourselves.

#16  JiB - You are indeed a connoisseur of British TV news. Channel 4's Jon "Pearly White" Snow & the Affirmative Action Ethnic Cru often manage to make the BBC look credible.

#15  each one dipped in bacon grease and with a little note with the name of a dead child written on it. You know, something subtle.

Your comments are totally disgusting, small minded and beneath contempt!

But, I like’em!

#14  Actually he is one of the useful idiots channel 4 and Jon Snow employ in order to get out their pro-Paleostinian and anti-American slant. He is all Asshat and no Jihad.

#13  I gave this guy as a prime example of what Russia can do. I would hazard to guess that Russia could borrow him for a few days, and then bits and pieces of him could be found ALL OVER some abandoned building, maybe each one dipped in bacon grease and with a little note with the name of a dead child written on it. You know, something subtle.

#12  TGA:

Of course he should be encouraged to speak freely. Otherwise, we wouldn't know who needs to die. painfully.

#9  We get rid of Hook and up steps another - he's been around for a while this one and he's been arrested. He lives in Edmonton, North London but I suspect he won't be listed in the telephone directory.

#8  Why is Omar Bakri alive? You don't arrest or deport a mad dog that's frothing at the mouth! Somebody please put this mutt down NOW!

#7  Love it, TGA and AC!
But when it comes to Muslims, he's "Rambo them first, worry about their civil and human rights later!"

#6  As a matter of fact, no, TGA. He can be tried and hanged under the Streicher precedent in international law. Only the depraved revisionist influence of the media, and their obviously biased definitions of free speech, keep this from happening.

#3  This creep should be locked up within the next 24 hours sending an example to all those pro-jihadists lurking in the U.K. & U.S.

As the filth in Al-Muhajiroun has stated "The Choice is in Your Hands: Either You’re with the Muslims or with the Infidels," It's high time the 'infidels' woke up since these savages have clearly set the rules for their future evil deeds in saying "We reject the U.N., reject America, reject all law and order."

The Russian school children bloodbath was the 2nd 9-11.
