| Al-Qa'eda suspect seized in UK | ||
| 2004-08-05 | ||
A senior al-Qa'eda suspect who was allegedly plotting an attack in Britain is being held by Scotland Yard after a series of arrests. A dozen men, mainly British-born but of Asian origin, were still being questioned last night. The suspect, who uses the alias Abu Eisa Al Hindi and is believed to be a "senior al-Qa'eda man", was detained after information was received from Pakistani intelligence agencies. A Pakistani official said: "He was planning some sort of attack in Britain and his capture is a good signal that intelligence obtained from al-Qa'eda operatives here is producing results."
[snippety-snip] I would like to add the following comment from the end of the article: The latest arrests angered Muslim leaders. They said that, of the 600 or so people arrested under anti-terrorism laws, fewer than 100 had been charged. Inayat Bunglawala, of the Muslim Council of Great Britain, said: "There is growing bitterness in the Muslim community." There has been the usual outrage from senior spokesnmen from the muslim community. They don't seem to understand that they can't have Abu Hamza preaching the destruction of the west at Finsbury Park Mosque and not be subject to massive scrutiny from the security forces at the same time. What a bunch of pricks. Check the Islamic Human Rights Commission's on-line survey of British Muslims. Relatively innocuous in the main, however, I noticed the following: If you were the Prime Minister of Britain, what would you do for British Muslims? (Please tick one, some or all)To all Brits: you saw it here first - expect this to become their rallying cry over the coming years as the WoT intensifies. The Muslim Caliphate of Bradistan (ie. Bradfod, Yorks.). Yours with fear and loathing... | ||

| #6 They want a province? How about a little place called al-Guantanamo? Ocean views, brand new facilities. What more could they ask for? |

| #5 GIVE them their own province. Let's set aside 50 square miles in the middle of the Sahara (if we have to take it from someone else, hey, what the heck - we're good for it). Fence it in with 30-foot high chain-link fence, electrify it (we can probably use solar power - not much rain or cloud-cover in the Sahara, and we could use a nuke reactor as back-up - who's going to complain?), and DROP THEM IN BY HELICOPTER. No gates out. No ladders over the top. Make sure the fence goes down 60-70 feet underground, with lots of motion-sensors. If they want to eat, they will either have to ask Allah to provide, or they will have to grow food. If they want to dress themselves, they will either have to ask Allah to provide, or have to grow plant fibers to weave into clothing, or raise fur- or fleece-bearing animals to provide hair for spinning and weaving. If they want water, they'll have to ask Allah to provide it, or dig wells for it. We'll see how well they do... |

| #4 You want your own province? Fine. Have it, then, and STAY THERE. But no, the preaching and the piousness and and the seething and the hand grenades always come creeping, seeping over the border into your neighbors' province and suddenly there is "unrest" and "separatists" and "activists", then "militants" and "plotting" and "the deaths of innocent bystanders", which inevitably leads to "unfair racist scrutiny from the government". STFU already and stop minding everybody else's business. |

| #3 If you were the Prime Minister of Britain, what would you do for British Muslims? Hard choices all, but it appears they left out 5."cake" and 6."ice cream". |
