Where did the hatred that led to the murder of a soldier in Woolwich come from? Radical hate preacher Anjem Choudary knew one of the assailants and says he is proud of having "a big influence" on his life. The attack demonstrates how difficult it is to prevent Islamist violence in Britain.

Anjem Choudary grabs a can of Red Bull before he talks about the man with the blood-soaked hands and a meat cleaver -- a man who is an acquaintance of his. Choudary doesn't call what happened in London last week murder, but rather "the operation on Wednesday."

Wearing a dark robe and sporting a beard that grows down to his chest, Choudary sits down at a table in a café in the northeastern part of the city. The press generally portrays him as a hate monger. In the mid-1990s, he founded the now-banned Islamist organization al-Muhajiroun.....

He sounds like he'd fit right in at Mr. Obama's church in Chicago.

Why is the Choudary guy still alive? Why are western governments protecting him?

Choudary has now left the café, but Mohammed continues to talk. He has been observing the English Defense League for some time, he says. If, in the wake of the murder, the right-wing extremists now try to launch an attack against the Muslims, he insists his people will have an appropriate response: "Then there will be war in this country."

Think, brain, think...

Nah. I got nothin'.

.....”If, in the wake of the murder, the right-wing extremists now try to launch an attack against the Muslims, he insists his people will have an appropriate response: ...”Then there will be war in this country.”....

Moslems are itching to start a war there ...nothing would make them happier....remember they thrive on death. They are pushing the envelope with that agenda in mind.

"Last Wednesday evening, at least 60 masked right-wing extremists from the English Defense League (EDL) gathered in front of a pub in Woolwich. This aggressive and extremely violent group, founded in 2009, regularly holds protest marches against the presumed Islamization of the UK -- and Islamists have begun to defend themselves. The murder has increased the risk of an escalation."

WTF is wrong with these reporters? The EDL aggressive and violent? The islamists have begun to defend themselves?

they just cut off a soldier's head and bombed a foot race!

Who wrote this Dhalia Mogahed, Valerie Jarrett, Barack Hussein?

Oh never mind, we know.

Better worry about what is in plain sight.

Any truth to the rumor that the sizable Polish immigrant community in UK, in addition to being hard-working Christians, can get their hands on all the East Bloc weaponry one might need to fight homegrown jihad, British gun laws be d@mned?

“Any truth to the rumor that the sizable Polish immigrant community in UK, in addition to being hard-working Christians, can get their hands on all the East Bloc weaponry one might need to fight homegrown jihad, British gun laws be d@mned?”

That’s a fact. Izhmash is producing tons of AK -102s for export, which includes gun-running, to various countries around the world. The weapon takes 30-round magazines and can be fitted with a grenade launcher. Chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO.

When the Libyan army deserted and cleaned out the armories, the rumor was that they were packed with 102s and other Eastern European weaponry. The EU was shocked, SHOCKED that such a thing could happen and are investigating.
