An extremist Islamic movement in Britain plans 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 Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
As WorldNetDaily reported, last year the group, Al-Muhajiroun, had planned a similar anniversary event called "The Magnificent 19 [Suicide Attackers]," but canceled it at the last minute.
The group's leader Omar Bakri, a Syrian residing in London, told Al-Sharq Al-Awsat the convention would feature al-Qaida "surprises," with the screening of a never-before-shown video, reports the Middle East Media Research Institute, or MEMRI.
He said 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 Sept. 11 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 the aim of remembering it is to "revive the commandment of Jihad among the youth of the [Muslim] nation."
Bakri said the convention also will feature a lecture about the Islamic religious roots of "slaughtering the infidels," referring in part to the beheading of foreigners in Iraq and Saudi Arabia.
It will include films by al-Qaida, the Tawhid and Jihad organization and the Brigades of the Two Holy Places in the Arabian Peninsula.
Also, the conference will feature a film on the most recent operations in Chechnya, he said. He added that one of the speeches, by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, al-Qaida's military commander in Iraq, will be translated.
Another lecture, he said, will be dedicated to the memory of three al-Qaida commanders: Abd Al-'Aziz Al-Muqren, 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-Qaida 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."
Bookmarked. Saved to disc. Remembered.
Islam.....must be eliminated from the planet.
It is NOT a religion of Peace....
It IS a religion that activily promotes and allows the killing of anyone in it's way.
Men...women...and children.

TROP ping.
Jeepers. Thanks for the ping!
Thanks for the ping. With my anger and grief still raging about the Russian children - this just about takes me over the edge. Looks like the world needs Britain's Greatest Generation to show their faces about now. This just cannot stand.
GEE--They left out taking school children as hostages, depriving them of survival necessities, then slaughtering them.That really ought to be a crowd pleaser for these diaper-heads.
I sure did. What is it going to take before the Brits shut this crap down? Come on Blair, take advantage of the opportunity to take these scumbags out!
W seems to be the only one with brass ones. Putin and Blair need to get with the plan.
My thoughts exactly!
are all religions equal? not.
i didn't realize until recently how the american left in american universities support moslem jihad.
You do make distinctions, that is you attack school children, truck drivers, civilian airplanes and the unarmed. You are so primitive, misguided and inept that you almost always MUST AVOID the armed. Greatness is determined by the strength of the enemy you defeat. Have some honor and go after a fighter. Was Mohammad so weak he sought battle with babies? Are your armies nothing more than soldiers seeking to overcome children?
Hear Hear!!! Well said!!!
P.S. -- Thanks for the ping, patriciaruth.
You know what, Kronos? The above is gratuitous Brit bashing. This isn't happening because of the misguided British (creators of a culture that has done more to civilize the world than any other, including America's -- America was born of British parents!), this is happening because of the primitive, backward barbarism of Islamic fundamentalism.
Put the blame where it belongs, please.
Death To all Muslim Terrorists!
GWB Is The Man!
Freedom Is Worth Fighting For!
Let's Roll!
Where I come from, thems fighting words!
...the announcement came only two days ago for fear that the British police would try to cancel it, as happened with the previous convention."
By allowing these crazy extremists to engage in this hostile form of freedom of speech, the British govt is asking for trouble.
