#1 One wonders whether they're really going to do this, or if they're trying to scare us. I know that the whole idea of shame and honor is a big thing in the minds of the Arabs, and so I'm trying to figure out whether they're going to have to follow through or else they'll be shamed, or if they're trying to shame us into surrender.

#2 Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad told Lisbonâs Publica magazine from London, where he is based.

One "very well organised" group in London calling itself al Qaeda Europe "has a great appeal for young Muslims", he said. "I know that they are ready to launch a big operation."

Sounds like this Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad has direct contact with terrorist cells. If so, he is a participant in these plots. We need to take him out of circulation, preferrably by way of fast onset lead poisoning.

#3 Why is this nutcase allowed to run around and make these threats? This is national suicide letting this guy do this inciteful speech. On another note, where is Hook Boy and what is he doing these days?

#4 Zipster, again, I can't help but remark how quick on the trigger you are.
For him to be taken out would require Britain to pass something similar to the Patriot Act.
Hope it happens.
But as the British government seems to molly coddle Liberal whiners (like you?) even more than we do, I wouldn't count on it.
The Left here and abroad has been busy indeed moaning about how their "civil liberties" have been infringed by the Patriot Act, yet when asked to cite one example, they can't.
The second they arrest some Islamist oranguatan terrorist killer here, in comes CAIR, the ACLU and your precious Dimocrats screaming "police state."

#5 There are proposals for a law which would allow the arrest of associates of terror suspects. Bakri has implicated himself in this article.

Hopefully when it passes it will be retroactive.

#6 He probably has more bugs on him and in the places he frequents than bin Laden and his mooks have fleas. MI5 must have a small army of officers assigned to bugging this camel bugger.

#8
Sheikh Bakri Muhammad said he had mixed feelings about the possible effect of his comments. "In a certain way I regret that, because the first thing the government will do is deport me, myself and my family," he said.

It should have been done years ago.

#9 Someone needs to start wacking those who propound such dreck. If the governments can't do it, perhaps private individuals should start thinking about it.
