FLASHBACK: Abu Hamza: '9/11 Made Everybody Happy'
SkyNews ^

Posted on 12/01/2015 3:11:09 PM PST by TigerClaws

Islamic preacher Abu Hamza said the September 11 attacks left "everybody happy", according to a tape played at his terrorism trial in New York.

In the tape, Hamza can be heard speaking casually of the attacks in the undated interview with a Canadian broadcaster.

"Everybody was happy when the planes hit the World Trade Center," he said.

"Anybody who tell you he was not happy, they are hypocrites."

At another point he says: "All Muslims are happy, even non-Muslims are happy."

He said the World Trade Center was a legitimate target because "it's the centre of evil … political and financial evil for the whole world".

He was arrested in England. But this is from the FBI website:

In late 1999, ABU HAMZA and several of his followers, including Oussama Abdullah Kassir, Haroon Rashid Aswat, Earnest James Ujaama, and others, attempted to create a terrorist training camp to support Al Qaeda on property located in Bly, Oregon. The primary purpose of the Bly, Oregon, camp was to provide various types of terrorist training, including weapons training. In late November 1999, at ABU HAMZA’s direction, Kassir and Aswat traveled from London, England, to Bly to assist in setting up the camp. Kassir brought with him to the camp a manual on the use of sarin nerve gas and letters of appreciation to Usama bin Laden and ABU HAMZA. Aswat subsequently was present at an Al Qaeda guest house in Pakistan.

He got life in jail, but he deserved a lethal injection in my opinion.

Anyone who thinks there wasn’t a significant percentage of Muslims, both here and worldwide who didn’t cheer 9/11 is delusional

Even today, the sounds of “outrage” are deafening, aren’t they?

Donald Trump was wrong when he insisted that thousands of Muzz cheered and celebrated on 9/11. Apparently there were many more than thousands.

The Jersey City terrorism incubator: Blind Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, Magdy Elamir -- and others

by Anthony Olszewski
April 5, 2010

By Allan P. Duncan
September 2, 2004
Introduction

Between the Fall of 1998 and June 2001, a group of Middle Eastern men living in New Jersey is caught on tape in an ATF weapons sting conspiring to buy millions of dollars of weapons including components for nuclear bombs. Three years after the operation ended, all of the people involved in the deal are free.
. . .
will also examine the history of terror links to the North Jersey area from before the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center right up until 9-11. Michael Chertoff, by the way, was the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Jersey from 1990-1994 and was in office when the first attack on the World Trade Center took place. For reasons that escape me, the Jersey City area and particularly the Al Salam mosque from which the Blind Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman spewed his hatred, was allowed to continue to be one of the major hubs of terrorist activity in the United States .

Part 1: The Jersey City Rat Pack
. . .
This case pales in comparison, however, to a pre-9-11 weapon sting in which a 32 million dollar deal for a ship load of weapons, 500 Stinger Missiles, nuclear triggers, weapons grade plutonium and 'heavy water' for a nuclear dirty bomb were the weapons of choice of Middle Eastern men seeking to arm Osama Bin Laden and the Taliban. This case never made screaming headlines when it ended in June 2001 and most people have never head about it.

The attacks on 9-11 were three months away and the American press was not as eager to pounce on every story that even mentioned the word terrorist. In addition to the weapons deal, the World Trade Center was specifically mentioned as a future target by one of the characters in this drama and yet none of the people involved in this case are currently in prison. Why?
. . .

The Strange Story of Dr. Magdy Elamir

The August 2, 2002 edition of Dateline NBC, brought to light the story of another North Jersey character named Dr. Magdy Elamir.

"Last fall, 'Dateline' obtained information about Magdy Elamir. He's a prominent doctor, a neurologist with a practice in Jersey City. Born and educated in Egypt, he moved to this country about 20 years ago and since then has built a fortune. He lives in a mansion, is generous to local charities and is an active supporter of both political parties.

Should counterterrorism investigators take an interest in Dr. Elamir? Well, 'Dateline' obtained a document last fall - foreign intelligence report, that makes a startling allegation about the doctor - that he has had financial ties with Osama bin Laden for years. The report was given to a senior member of Congress, Ben Gilman, back in 1998, when he was Chairman of the House International Relations Committee.

'We have a former FBI person on our staff and I asked him to look it over,' says Congressman Gilman. 'He thought it was credible enough to turn it over to the intelligence people. And we turned it over to the FBI practically immediately.'

This was in 1998.

The report alleges that an H.M.O. owned by Dr. Elamir in New Jersey was 'funded by ben [sic] Laden' and that in turn Dr. Elamir was skimming money from the H.M.O. to fund 'terrorist activities.'

Plenty of sounds of outrage over any perceived “insults”. Hundreds of thousands matched over f’n cartoons!

But crickets when it comes to condemning “radical Muslims” who blow up infidels

As far as I am concerned, it could be a jackhammer, just as long as it proved to be lethal, LOL. If had had been in days gone by, drawn & quartered would have worked even better. Alas, I was thinking of what is still legal here in America in some states, however, New York doesn’t even have the death penalty anymore.

If one were to believe that only 1% of Muslims world wide celebrated, that would mean 1,570,000 celebrated.

If one were to believe that only 1% of American Muslims celebrated, that would mean 650,000 celebrated.

If one were to believe that only 1% of Muslims in Paterson NJ celebrated, that would mean 2000 celebrated.

FWIW. He was arrested in England. But this is from the FBI website:.

He was admitted to England many years before he became well known. He was Imam of the Finsbury Mosque in London. He poured out so much hate, but the authorities dragged their feet. Queen Elizabeth herself was said to have questioned this fear of the authorities. He married twice and it cost the British taxpayers over the equivalent of 4 million US dollars to house him and his eight offspring. Added to that his lawyers fees fighting US extradition

He went overseas and while making an IED it exploded. Blinded in one eye and losing a hand. I heard he had to have a male nurse to help him go to the toilet.

From England I get an overseas pension for putting in seven years employment and conscript Army National Service. It is $130 Canadian per month.(Ain't complaining). I break out laughing at what people like Hamza are able to deke the system for.
