U.K. Mosque link to Madrid Terrorist Bombings
Times of London Page 8 | 04-12-2004 | Edward Owen Times of London

Posted on 04/12/2004 12:31:20 PM PDT by Brian_Baldwin

I have been in London (U.K.) for the last six days, and I can tell you that I am very worried as to what can happen here. Each day, the headlines of the newspapers, almost to a one they are leftist, literally are sneering at our country and have no idea of the great peril their country is in. I have spent many, many hours in the "tubes" (London Underground Rail system) - there have been reports of plots of biological terror, and yet this does not make the headlines. Instead, the leftist newspapers only report propaganda against the United States, their headlines of the "news" not news headlines at all, but rather the banner headlines are editorials in word rather than news reports. North of Marble Arch area of London, it is over run with those who no friends of England, I am writing from an Internet Cafe in London and am careful as to my wording. Those in the "dirty night shirts" (as Michael Savage would call them) are EVERYWHERE, and open in their contempt of the West and their threats. The blindness of the local population here, it is almost frightful. The enemy deals in drugs, hashish, they drive expensive cars, and go about very bold in their obvious alliance to those who would do here what has happened in Spain. In fact, those who helped direct that event, they had major operations in London, as I give the following report from THE TIMES, buried on page 8 and given no ear by the locals:

Madrid bombers are linked to British cleric

From Edward Owen

In Madrid

SPANISH police believe a Muslim cleric in Britain played a leading role in orchestrating the March 11 train bombinbs in Madrid that killed 192 people and injured more than 1,700.

Detectives have learnt that one of the last mobile phone calls made by al-Qaeda terrorists before they blew themselves up this month in a Madrid suburb was to a person in Britain using the name Ben Salawi.

Shortly after making this call, seven terrorists cornered in the Leganes detonated the dynamite in their flat.

Police sources quoted in El Pais newspaper say Scotland Yard has been asked to trace the mystery cleric. The name Salawi is not known to police in Britain, but they believe it may have been an alias.

What is clear, Spanish detectives says, is that Salawi was giving orders to the terrorist in the flat. The terrorist cell followed instructions to blow themselves up rather than risk being captured.

The gang was thought to be preparing for further terror attacks over the Easter weekend after failing to derail a high-speed train packed with holidaymakers a few days earlier.

END OF REPORT

--------------

So you see, those who did the terror in spain, the ones in the "dirty nightshirts", they are right here in London, right now, and they will, I fear, and expect, will do the same here, all the while the fools here pay no attention to the danger around them but simply sneer at America. It is incredible how insane and stupid they are. I explore the area, I can see the danger clearly, and can say the place likely where it will happen, where they will enter, is the Camden Town area and station. It is insane. The people here simply do not understand that the danger, the enemy within, is all around them.

My God, if you come here you will understand.

I am ending my report - I am very worried for the people here.

God protect London, I fear for the worse.

It is frightening that the press controls the news. If you want the truth, however, stay right here. The UK suffers from the same liberal media that the US does.

Why help them build even more mosques, Islamic Centers, and buy up even more large tracts of U.S. rural property for their 'training' summer camps....

Depending upon how many 'petrol' dollars makes its slimy trail into our 'leader's' pockets...

or how much influence peddling CAIR and like minded groups are able to lobby for....

imo

Would preemptive strikes of blowing up mosques where pro-violence anti-western incitements are preached, plotted and funded rip the heart out of the international terrorist network?

It WILL happen in England. The attitude of the general populace up here in Canada is the same, and I think we get alot of it from our close ties to the mother country. It's insane, absolutely insane, how stupid everyone is being, with their heads in the sand. How long until people finally wake up and realise that ALL of the west is considered their enemy, not just the U.S. and Israel.

The EU has agreed to a slow quiet death by immigration, capitulation, and blindness. Enjoy the sights for the next decade or two. When the EU Taliban blows them up in about 2050, there will be only history books and .tif files to account for Europe's former glory.

The Spaniards believe that by electing commies, terrorists won't attack them. Yeah right!

Europe's collective ephipany is coming, sooner than they realize.

Each country's individual 9-11 or 3-11 will shake them to their core. What they'll do after that - save for blaming Bush and America - remains to be seen. Stupidity and insanity are rampant, I fear.

Your words sound almost like those of a news correspondent right before WWII.

William Shirer and his book BERLIN DIARY comes to mind.
