Islamists Say Event Celebrating 9/11 Terrorists Not Really A Celebration of Terrorism

Organizers of an upcoming Islamic event in London dealing with the events of Sept. 11 2001 are reacting angrily to charges that the event is more of a celebration than a conference.

A poster promoting the event, scheduled for Sept. 11 2003, features pictures of the 19 hijhackers, whom it promotes as "The Magnificent 19."

Despite the apparently laudatory comments of the hijackers by Al-Muhajiroun, the radical Islamic sect based in London promoting the event, an official statement from the group insists that the upcoming event is not a celebration. To categorize it as such, the document insists, is just a distortion by the western media of the group's words.

The release reads, "Muslims only celebrate two days, Eid ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha and any other celebration is an innovation as far as Islam is concerned. Hence the event entitled the ‘Magnificent 19' ... is not a celebration. This has not been suggested and this is not our intention."

Rather, event organizers claim, the day's event will commemorate the events of Sept. 11 2001. "It will examine its root causes and the driving force and motivation of the 19 men who partook in the operation, in order to have a clearer understanding and in order to discuss whether the continuation of the causes might result in a recurrence of such events, albeit by utilizing different ways and means."

While calling the hijackers "magnificent," the release had harsh words for President George Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair, calling them "the real terrorists and bandits."

The release said Bush and Blair have "indiscriminately murdered 1000's of innocent men, women and children in Afghanistan and Iraq, who have lied blatantly to their public, who are holding young and old in prisons without charge or any evidence, who have wasted the resources of their country and who have branded all those fighting for the liberation of their land and defending their lives and honor, as terrorists.

While event organizers agree the event is "controversial," they say that should not be a cause for concern.

The statement reads, "Controversy was never a reason to ban an event or arrest people. Rather than calling for a ban it would be wise for those who promote democracy and freedom to practice what they preach or admit the evident inconsistencies in the capitalist ideology and its failure to deal with simple problems."

According to the Al-Muhajiroun statement, everyone needs to really understand the purpose behind the upcoming conference. It is to "discuss the lives, motives and reasons behind the 19 men who partook in the events on the 11th of September 2001, as opposed to celebrating the operations themselves."

Al-Muhajiroun, the event sponsor, has been linked to British suicide bombers in Israel and has also issued calls to overthrow the British government. The group did not respond to a request for comment.The man behind Al-Muhajiroun, Omar Bakri Muhammad, was born in Aleppo, Syria, in 1958 and grew up in a wealthy Muslim family, becoming a serious student of Islam and the Koran. He received his B.A. in Shari'ah and the foundations of Islamic law from Shari'ah University in Damascus, obtaining a master's degree in Islamic jurisprudence from the University of Al-Imam Al-U'zaie in Beirut.

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, Muhammad portrays himself as being the spokesman for bin Laden's International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders and according to MEMRI has admitted that the organization raises funds for the Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and is "in touch" with the Hizbullah.

According to MEMRI, Muhammad has lived in London since 1985 and preaches at a number of London mosques. He also routinely presents himself as a spokesman for the International Islamic Front, which he describes as being the political wing of Osama bin Laden's Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders.

This is bound to breed tolerance

[Monty22]

Execute everyone involved in this BS

[sauropod]

I saw this on TV last night. Amazing!

[sfvgt]

I'm in favor of turning "The Magnificent 19" into "The Magnificent 19 million"

[SF Republican]

Relax, this is just a celebration for all of those rasins they received.

[Falcon4.0]

I say we help in the celebration with an above ground detonation, say, over Mecca. You know, kinda like a big fire works display.

You know, if I was in England, I would be going to jail because I would be killing a few of the people at this f***ing event.

[The Toll]

I sometimes really feel like I am alone in my willingness to work long hours at minimum wage doing what you suggest. I do not understand our people and our cultures refusal to defend itself by immediate disposal of our confessed enemy's.

[OpusatFR]

I celebrate with fireworks every August to commemorate the Battle of Lepanto, August, 1571.

The greatest battle in history (My personal opinion) destroyed the Moslem advance and reduced them to the miserable whining craven babykilling illiterate superstitious anti-Christian anti-Semitic Francophile sloppy smelly intolerant women-hating bunch they are today.

Happy Battle of Lepanto everyone!

[Former Proud Canadian]

Easy Laz. I don't like it either, but maybe there is a silver lining. Videos of the event might help identify future homocidal islamists.

And remember, George W says it's a religion of peace and love.

Better yet, someone should organize a stealth protest.

I would love to see 5,000 people protest this event.

I'd love to see 5,000 angry people protest this event.

I'd love to see 5,000 angry people storm this event and take out their anger on these idiots.

[OpusatFR]

Whoops, sorry

[bedolido]

idiot muslim terrorist lovers should watch their backs.

btw: no offense to peace loving muslims

[AngryAmerican]

I would call this a target-rich environment.

Coffee on the computer screen warning!

PS How to i make i make italics?

[SF Republican]

to = do

[kb2614]

I had to look up the Battle of Lepanto. Don Juan was an all right guy! I'll have to remember this. Thanks for the info.

In a similar vein: my spending the upcoming 9/11 repeatedly wiping my nether regions with a tattered copy of the Qu'ran -- whilst simultaneously pointing and laughing at a putative "civilization" so stunted and subhuman, it actually defends the concept of burning women alive for whistling, or laughing aloud -- should in no way, shape or form be taken as any sort of "celebration" on my part, either.

Angry Islamicists. Imagine that.

[princess leah]

I say protest with huge signs including pork and sausage links hanging and throwing the sausage links at the attendees!

[joesnuffy]

more of their favorite double talk and obsfucation for the schmucks stupid enough to
believe in their innocence their religon of peace and their victimhood...

Consulting the hermenuetic principles in my U.S. Supreme Court Guide to Constitutional Interpretation, I see that what this poster REALLY means is that the conference is all about mourning the deaths of the victims and promoting Inter-Faith and Intercultural Understanding.

To make italics, put the appropriate HTML tag in front and back.

To start italics, put "< i >", without the quotes and spaces, in front of the phrase, and put "< /i >" at the end, again without the quotes and spaces. The angle brackets and letters will not themselves show up in the text.

Using a "u" instead of an "i" starts and stops underlining. "s" gives strikethrough, "b" gives bold. There's ways to change font sizes and colors as well. I'm sure someone here can point you towards an HTML primer.

[AngryJawa]

"I sometimes really feel like I am alone in my willingness to work long hours at minimum wage doing what you suggest."

You are not alone. But most folks I know would do it for free.

I really wish these scumbags would organize a "celebration" on this side of the pond...

[The_Media_never_lie]

Execute everyone involved in this BSCan I tar and feather them first? Please?

[Centurion2000]

I'd just like to see 5000 couter protesting nuclear weapons dancing up and down the Middle East as a nice gesture in return for this filth

[Migraine]

I say parachute their asses into Saudi Arabia from a c-130 from an altitude of, say, 35,000 feet. I'll even volunteer to pack the parachutes myself. I think I could get the hang of it after about 5,000 tries.

[attiladhun2]

Don't forget "little-boy scr*wing, bomb-slinging, and modernity-hating."

[txhurl]

I wonder who, ummm, has the concessions contract?

That's what we should do.

[1stFreedom]

What I don't understand is why we don't bomb radical islamic gatherings?

When 10000 people show up to hear some idiot Imam speak of how they should be killing the Westeners, isn't that a prime target? After all, these 10000 people are the ones likely to do so.

It would be nice to kill 10000 birds with one stone!

[Ben Hecks]

We can also look forward to celebrating the Battle of Tours on October 10.

[truth_seeker]

"And remember, George W says it's a religion of peace and love."

Maybe George knows better (but is not letting on), and he's fooled both you and the muslims.

Unless you wish to join others, that have underestimated him.

[SouthernFreebird]

I'm in favor of turning "The Magnificent 19" into "The Magnificent 19 million"

ROTFL........that was great!

[Trueblackman]

Would be nice if these @$$holes looked up and saw a B-52 or B-2 peeling in at a nice angle with the bombbay doors open.

What does he mean by this?

[ASA Vet]

Videos of the event might help identify future homocidal islamists

Video ID's wouldn't matter with Laz's method.
Why wait for them to become homocidal?

[MEGoody]

"Execute everyone involved in this BS."

Give them a taste of their own medicine. Wait until they all get in one place, then detonate a few well placed explosives.

[Dan Cooper]

...order to discuss whether the continuation of the causes might result in a recurrence of such events, albeit by utilizing different ways and means."

What does he mean by this?

It means they will be planning more attacks.

[Cronos]

in LONDON????? What's up with that? Should the UK be next on our list? After France?

[Cronos]

No, but more important than that, Sep 11 was a significant date for slamies. On September 12, 1683, during the battle of Vienna, Polish troops saved Vienna from the Turks thereby stopping their advance into Europe. From then onwards, the Turks were in retreat. http://www.iyp.org/polish/history/vienna.html

Long Live Poland!

[Cronos]

Ping!

[RonF]

Oh, by the way, if you use any HTML tags at all, you must then separate all your paragraphs using paragraph tags: "< p >" ; or all of your post will be one big paragraph.

[ASA Vet]

Long Live Poland!

Ummm Kielbasa!

[Hoboken]

WHAT KIND OF MONSTERS WOULD CELEBRATE THE MURDER OF 3000 INNOCENT PEOPLE?

[Tunehead54]

Here's the poster mentioned:

[Desron13]

They need to round up every one of the murdering savages that show up for this little hate fest and ship them back to whatever middle eastern cess pool they crawled out of! Along with their families, relatives and friends!

[monkeywrench]

BLOPT! Keep your sausage dry.

[oh8eleven]

I do not understand our people and our cultures refusal to defend itself ..."

We have become a nation of wimps and whiners that's why.
Most people can't even make a left hand turn without a green arrow let alone defend the country.
It's called the feminization of America and the repercussions are just beginning.
