London Convention Will Celebrate 9/11
The London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported that the extremist Islamic movement Al-Muhajiroun had announced a convention in London, titled "The Choice is in Your Hands: Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels," to mark the third anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The organization had planned a similar anniversary event a year ago, called "The Magnificent 19 [Suicide Attackers]," but had cancelled it at the last minute. The following is a summary of the report:(1)
Al-Muhajiroun leader Omar Bakri, a Syrian residing in London, told the paper by phone that the convention would feature Al-Qa'ida "surprises," with the screening of a never-before-shown video. He said that the convention will focus on "the anniversary of the division of the world into two great camps - the camp of faith and the camp of unbelief," and would take place September 11, 2004 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Bakri added: "On this day, we will talk about the ramifications of these [9/11] operations for Afghanistan and Iraq... We want the world to remember this operation ... that lifted the head of the [Muslim] nation." Bakri called 9/11 "a cry of Jihad against unbelief and oppression," and said that the aim of remembering it is to "revive the commandment of Jihad among the youth of the [Muslim] nation."
Bakri said that the convention will also feature a lecture about the Islamic religious roots of "slaughtering the infidels," that is, beheading foreigners in Iraq and Saudi Arabia, and that there will be films by Al-Qa'ida, the Tawhid and Jihad organization, and the Brigades of the Two Holy Places in the Arabian Peninsula, and that there will also be a film on the most recent operations in Chechnya. He added that one of the speeches, by Abu Mus'ab Al-Zarqawi, known to be Al-Qa'ida's military commander in Iraq, will be translated.
Another lecture, he said, would be dedicated to the memory of three Al-Qa'ida commanders: Abd Al-'Aziz Al-Muqren (Abu Hajer), killed in June 2004 by Saudi security forces; his predecessor Yousef Al-Ayyiri, killed in June 2003 in a clash with Saudi security forces, and Abu Hafs Al-Masri, a top Al-Qa'ida military officer, killed in the U.S. attack on Kandahar in late 2001.
According to Bakri, the anticipated criticism of Al-Muhajiroun for the organization's insistence on memorializing 9/11 will be "a simple sacrifice in comparison with what we must actually do - that is, support the Jihad led by bin Laden."
Attorney Anjam Choudry, secretary-general of Al-Muhajiroun in Britain, said, "A large hall has already been secured for the convention, but the announcement came only two days ago for fear that the British police would try to cancel it, as happened with the previous convention."

Islam-list
If people want on or off this list, please let me know.
I don't really approve of "hate" crimes laws as regards speech, but if they're going to have them over there, wouldn't this group and Bakri be an obvious case to use them?
Send in the bobbies!
They don't have the balls... yet! Now if there was a 9.11 in England, then they may rediscover them!
I hope CNN provides live reel-to-reel coverage.
Why is this group still in existence in England?
I think we should mark the occasion by firing a cruise missile into whatever mosque these a-holes are having their celebration in.
Who on earth would have thought otherwise?
It's a war, people.
It would nudge his followers to decide.
Maybe it's time to remind the IslamoFascists that standing by and watching your children get slaughtered has never been authorized by the Bible, human dignity, or any CIVILIZED people in all of history.
What makes them think that there won't be some people like us who decide to take the IslamoFascist threat seriously, preemptively slaughter them, and once again provide the world a safe haven for average people?
Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to round up these bastards in their convention hall, like the Chechen terrorists and their Arab cohorts did with those innocent schoolkids?
No death, just 100 degree sweatsoaked classrooms, stripped down to their underwear, no water, and no sanitary facilities for two days. If it was good enough for those poor schoolkids, why shouldn't it be good enough for the 'delegates' to this convention?
bacon and ham them---(non -leathal weapons-Kerry might approve)
I guess 'Death to all Infidels!!' is in small print on the bottom...
And these are the buggers who, with the help of a complicit liberal media in the West, had the audacity to complain about Abu Ghraib. Compared to what's happening to the Orthodox Christians kids at the hands of the IslamoFascists, Abu Ghraib was a resort!!
I'm so mad, I can't see straight!
I think we should give an all-expenses-paid trip to London to all of the parents of the children killed in Russia today. All of the parents would be supplied with a traditional hammer-and-sickle upon arrival. They can help the Muslimes celebrate.
So, please read between the lines:
I hope these nice Islamic people who are celebrating their diversity of ideas and their religion have a nice day.

I wish! Lots of lard, too, it's cheap. But I can just hear him: Well, that wouldn't be very sensitive, you know, (w/ sarcasm, in a Kerry-like whine) to their cultural differences, now would it? We live in a global society, and have to respect these differences. Johnny Flip-flop wants a sensitive response. We have to gather our global friends and sit down and talk out our differences. Yuk.
He will appease them until they do away with the very last one of us.
