Britain
New Islamist group to launch this week in London
2005-11-19
The founding of a new militant Islamist group will be announced at a press conference in Walthamstow, East London on Friday. Anjam Choudry a lawyer and the former leader of al Muhahjiroun, an extremist organization which disbanded itself in October 2004, told Asharq al Awsat on Wednesday he had invited the group’s 700 ex- members to unite under the banner of “Ahl al Sunnah and al Jamaa” (the community following the teachings of the Prophet.) Arab and foreign journalists are expected to attend the conference.
Hey! Just like Pakland! The organization gets banned, you break out the false noses and moustaches and keep doing business at the same old stand.
Choudry also expected several students of Omar Bakri Mohammad, the spiritual guide of the banned al Ghurabaa who currently lives in Beirut, to attend the launch. The new group “will concentrate on preaching and not jihad” (armed struggle), the lawyer indicated. It aims to unite British Muslims under one roof, away from more secular organizations. Bakri will be one of the religious figures consulted for their fatwas (religious edicts) but will not hold any other responsibilities.
"See? Nothing to ban us for. We're not what we used to be. We're something different."
Choudry, who was sent back by the Lebanese authorities with three other Islamists after he visited Bakri in Beirut earlier this month, indicated, “We will be part of the group Ahl al Sunna and al Jamaa which exists worldwide. Amongst our sheikhs are Omar Bakri, Abu Mohammed al Maqdisi [detained in Jordan], the Palestinian Islamist Abu Qatadah, [real name Omar Mahmoud Othman, currently in a London jail accused by the British authorities of being al Qaeda’s spiritual leader in Europe].”
That kinda gives an idea of what their philosophy is.
Meanwhile, in a telephone conversation with Asharq al Awsat on Wednesday, Bakri revealed internal divisions amongst his students as Abd al Muid, a Pakistani Islamist and the former Amir (leader) of al Ghurabaa had refused to join the new organization. “Ahl al Sunna and the Jamaa are the victorious sect”, he said.

#5  You'd think that the "festivities" just across the channel would provide Britain with a glimpse of what's to come. Europe's complacency is nothing short of astonishing. America may well have to save Europe from itself a third time.

#4  That would be great Old Patriot but this is the UK we are talking about. Ken Livingstone and his faction of the labor party will insist they all be given government funding and walking around money.

The UK has yet to deport or extradite one Terrorist to my knowledge. Even after July 7, 2005 The UK's approach to terrorism and terrorists is still limp wristed and next to non existant. Lots of talk little real action.

#3  Save everyone a lot of grief - napalm the "press conference". Dead men don't preach jihad, dead men don't spread islamonazi lies and bullsh$$. They're also a lot easier to keep track of. Plus, it sends a really STRONG "message" to the rest of the dirtbags that their brand of "religion" won't be tolerated any longer.

#2  The new group “will concentrate on preaching and not jihad”

Careful parsing reveals that this "new group" will focus on preaching brainwashing, while leaving the jihad murdering to whatever useful idiots fodder sprouts up for ready consumption.

SOP: Video surveillance with subsequent identification and monitoring of all who attend even a single gathering of these maggots. Instantaneous deportation (as in a popping sound of air rushing back in to fill the space once occupied by their body) for any non-citizen who even remotely participates.
