#2 more details, an 'iraqi-style' kidnapping.

i.e. kidnapping, video, wild demands then gruesome murder.

target probably not high profile, possibly taken at random.

#4 Ayub Pervaz, the mosque's president, said ...

"But we also appeal for no trial by media. If any of those arrested turn out to be innocent, this should be made clear."

Apparently they were planning to kidnap a member of the UK armed forces, behead him, & post the snuff movie on the 'net, according to radio news on as I post. I trust none of them turn out to be "innocent".

#6 From tipper's link:

Security services said today that they had foiled a suspected plot to kidnap and torture a British Muslim soldier recently returned from service abroad before beheading him live on the internet. The target, a man in his 20s who has not been named, is thought to have found out about the plot. He is now said to be in protective police custody.

#7 Every gangster needs a person to appeal for no trial in the media, and then a lawyer who says that it was all a simple misunderstanding. Of course, the last refuge of the gangster will be that it was all the government's fault. And, of course, the government is at fault, for teaching them proper diction, so that the microphones pick up their conversations.

#8 how about that?

A british muslim soldier. More than the Jihadis hate us, they hate moderate muslims. And are eager to murder them. No wonder moderate muslims are so reluctant to speak out.

#9 It would appear the hypersensitve UK prison authorites need to step up the campaign to refurbish all UK prison cells so the toilets won't face toward Mecca.

Which is a waste of UK taxpayer money on so many levels. In in the short term it accommodates the Shaira sensitive. Bad idea to encourage such nonsense.

It the long term it won't matter. In the future UK prison cells won't contain muslims. Only infidels. The problem: All the jailers will be muslims, unless the UK wakes up soon.

Mosques have "innocent" people? Who knew?

#11 More than the Jihadis hate us, they hate moderate muslims.

No. It isn't moderate muslims. They hate muslims who 'work for or with the enemy'. It's akin to the attitude that African American kids who do well in school are 'acting white'.

#12 Mosques have "innocent" people? Who knew?

Saqib Hussain, of Sparkhill - saw no evil.
Abdul Ghaffoor - heard no evil.
Mohamed Barber's cousin - did no evil.
