Cousin listened to boasts about suicide mission
Times Online UK ^ | july 22, 2005 | Daniel McGrory, and Zahid Hussain

ON HIS last visit to relatives in Pakistan this year, one of the London bombers, Shehzad Tanweer, boasted of wanting to die in a revenge attack over the way Muslims are treated.

While his family in Leeds had no idea about his suicide mission, Tanweer confessed to his cousin his ambition to become a “holy warrior”. At his father’s home village 30 miles from Faisalabad, Mohammad Saleem described yesterday how Tanweer, 22, hero-worshipped Osama bin Laden.

Mr Saleem supported his cousin’s bombing at Aldgate station which killed seven people, saying: “Whatever he has done, if he has done it, then he has done right.” He recalled how Tanweer argued with family and friends about the need for violent retaliation over US abuse of Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo Bay.

Tanweer was no stranger to the village of Chak No 477, where his grandfather and several cousins live. During his last trip, the college dropout was visited by another of the bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan. They are said to have met a known al-Qaeda activist who has since been jailed for bombing a church. “Whenever he would listen about sufferings of Muslims he would become very emotional and sentimental,” Mr Saleem said. “He was a good Muslim . . . he also wished to take part in jihad and lay down his life.

“He knew that excesses are being done to Muslims. Incidents like desecration of the Koran have always been in his mind.”

His uncle, Tahir Pervaiz, told the Pakistani daily Dawn: “Osama bin Laden was Shehzad’s ideal and he used to discuss the man with his cousins and friends in the village.”

After Tanweer’s death, more than 2,000 villagers turned out to pray for him.

A day after intelligence officials in Islamabad claimed to have seized Haroon Rashid Aswat, the Yorkshire-born al-Qaeda veteran, Mark Lyall-Grant, the British High Commissioner, said that nobody had been arrested in Pakistan “related to the London bombings”.

After reading this story I really need to buy a Koran so I can rip a page out every day, drop it in the toilet, and piss on it.

You could save a step & just wad up some dollar bills, toss them in the toilet & piss on them.

"You see the problem involved here is the assimilation process for Muslims"
While what you say about closing the centers preaching hate, is only part of the problem. The Wahhabist religion can make the middle class and rich like the 911 terrorist still kill non Muslims. All Muslims are Terrorist on a spectrum of training. It is their Koran that is the problem it does not teach love and peace only hate and death. If you study the Koran well you easily can go over to the dark side. The Koran is the work of Lucifer thats the ultimate problem. The Koran and the Muslim religion is a defective product of mankind, I am sure there were moderate members of the NAZI party who never wanted to kill Jews in Germany but no matter how you look at the NAZI culture it was and is worthless to humans, the Koran and Islamic Religion is the same thing, worthless.

Mike "The Spike" Isikoff should be given a one-way ticket to Pakistan for his phony propaganda story of US soldiers flushing the koran down the crapper at GITMO, which sent the koranimals worldwide into orbit.

I agree with you totally. Newsweek and the MSM are trying their best to discover, exagerate, and fabricate stories of US military abuse to undermine our longterm security.

"He recalled how Tanweer argued with family and friends about the need for violent retaliation over US abuse of Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. "

So a female interogator invades a prisoner's "personal space," and the solution is to blow yourself up and hundreds with you. Meanwhile, back in Jihadistan, western troops and civilians get BEHEADED. There is no sense of proportion with these idiots. The MSM does not comprehend the damage their are doing to us.

After reading this story, I am reminded that Israel destroys the houses of the families of terrorists. That is one reason the apologist leftwingers hate them.

Frankly, it sounds like a good idea to me. After Mohammed Atta's father came out this week, praising his son, and listening to this traitorous cousin, I think Britain should invest in a few tractors.

“He knew that excesses are being done to Muslims. Incidents like desecration of the Koran have always been in his mind.”

Self-pity is always one of the prime motivations of great evil.

Dear Watson,

I agree with you completely on your assessment, but for different philosophical reasons.

If you want a little more for your questions - have private citizens been funding these actions? Take a look at the link (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,22989-1704235,00.html)and notcie they are on a white water rafting trip - for Team Building. What does this cost and how much preperation is really going into these missions? The picture shows me that the terror network is using more than mosques to train their killers.
