Britain
Captain Hook, binny-goons, torch Union Jack in London
2004-04-03
UK .. You will pay, Bin Laden’s on way
The Telegraph’s version of this story is already posted, but I thought The Sun’s take might be interesting for the contrast in style.
By SIMON HUGHES
BAYING Muslim fanatics torched a Union Jack in London yesterday — and sneered that Tony Blair is powerless to stop al-Qaeda bombing Britain.
There is no absolute defense, especially as long as these fifth columnists are running loose, but the thousands of dead jihadi rats moldering in Afghanistan and Iraq might have inhibited their plans.
In a sickening reference to the terror group’s evil boss Osama Bin Laden, the bigots chanted: “UK, you will pay, Bin Laden on his way.”
Sent an exchange mutant to Berkeley, did they?
The shameful scenes — widely condemned by moderate Muslims — came as 20 thugs hijacked normally-peaceful afternoon prayers at the world-famous Regent’s Park mosque.
Home of the loathesome terror agent and welfare-cheat Abu "Captain Hook" Hamza, who was on hand for the flag-burning, btw.
More than 1,000 law-abiding worshippers looked on in horror as the militants from UK-based extremist group al-Muhajiroun staged the ambush.
The SAS should be called in to demonstrate their own ambush techniques.
A large hand-drawn British flag was set on fire and a letter urging Muslims to reject terrorism was torn to shreds.
What? They couldn’t afford 5 quid for a real one? The loss of Saddam’s subsidy checks must really be taking a bite.
It's the Rachel Corrie effect.
In a ranting address, zealot Abdul Rehman Saleem praised the savage murders of four US civilians in Iraq.
Check out the pictures of this Klingon and his fellow arch-druid, Captain Hook Hamza.
Then as followers bayed, “Jihad for Blair” he gloated: “There is nothing the British Services or Tony Blair, this liar, can do to stop al-Qaeda.”
Ask the cannon-fodder families whose bright-eyed young jihadis never came home from Afghanistan.
Meanwhile at Finsbury Park, North London, hook-handed renegade Abu Hamza branded British Muslims who bravely reject terror “Tony Blair’s prostitutes”.
As opposed to Osama’s "Hookers"
The extremists were slammed by brave mosque regular Iqbal Ahmed, who said: “They twist the Koran for their own ends.” Iqbal Sacranie, secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, also denounced the fanatics. A letter sent by the Council to 1,000 mosques throughout the UK declared: “Islam categorically forbids violence and killing of innocents.”
Several hundred bus-bomb victims and thousands of WTC workers would testify otherwise, if they were available.
Dr Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, head of the Muslim Parliament of Britain, condemned the fanatics as “misguided lunatics”.
As opposed to properly guided lunatics, I suppose.
Burning the Union Jack is not an offence but police can seize such protesters for incitement to racial hatred. No arrests were made yesterday.
White feather time?
The Tories last night slammed the flag-burners. Shadow home secretary David Davis said: “I suggest if they are this unhappy they should leave.” Britain's top cop yesterday revealed his force is keeping a “close eye” on preachers of hate. Met chief Sir John Stevens also called for compulsory ID cards as soon as possible.
Hook needs a Gitmo ID card; free-of-charge, paid transport, as well as compulsory.

Even Wayne Newton would be onboard...

#8  If they did that in say New York or New Orleans the headline would read 'Stupid Mulims Killed by Mob!'

Wish that were true in NY. But in the city, at least, they'd get lots of helpers. Sigh.

And what these bozos seem to have forgotten is the Islamic World is absolutely powerless if we or the Brits simply decided to quit putting up with the irritation of the IW and simply decided to make it go away

#3  A letter sent by the Council to 1,000 mosques throughout the UK declared: “Islam categorically forbids violence and killing of innocents.”

Yeah that does a whole lot of good. Neither assertion is true of course. Why not just say Islam forbids killing, period? That word "innocents" is open to a wide interpretation by the izoids.

#2  "There is nothing the British Services or Tony Blair, this liar, can do to stop al-Qaeda.”

He is close to the truth here. Although he should have said "There is not enough the British Services or Tony Blair, this liar, can do to stop al-Qaeda.” The recent raids to capture the 8 or 9 Pakistanis demonstrated you need a lot of law enforcement people to catch a few terrorists. The ratio is between 100 to 1 and 500 to 1. Field enough terrorists and you win, unless the government drastically changes its tactics.

#1  I can only assume that they are allowed to operate unfettered because they act as flypaper to uncautious jihadis and they also serve to generate a resevoir of anger in the UK general population, which will be useful to tap into should any draconian measures be required when/if an attack actually occurs.
