Whatever Happened to Trevor Brooks?
Radical Muslim Apparently in Hiding
With the fifth anniversary of 9/11 just around the corner, you need to be concerned about what happened to Trevor Brooks.
Why? Because he’s the former Jamaican electrician Trevor Brooks (also known as Omar Brooks, Abu Izzadeen and Abu Baraa) who hates those of us who don’t share his radical Islamic belief system.
Let me explain. Brooks was the man who in a July 7 anniversary meeting of the British terror bombings (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_July_2005_London_bombings ), held in a community center in the city of Birmingham, dubbed the 7/7 bombers as being “completely praiseworthy.
The bombings killed 52 people and injured more than 770 (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/spl/hi/uk/05/london_blasts/what_happened/html/default.stm ).
Brooks has also glorified the horrifying events of 9/11 and openly admitted he wishes to die as a suicide bomber.
On other occasions he has arrogantly mocked non-Islamics and mimicked the dying Kim il Sun (the Korean who was beheaded in Iraq by al Zarqawi). Perhaps worst of all, he was the man who referred to a “7/11 attack” a week before the Mumbai 7/11 terror bombings killed 207 and injured over 700 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/11_July_2006_Mumbai_train_bombings ).
Brooks is also a leader of the now banned al Ghurabaa group (an offshoot of the banned Al Mujahiroun group, led by Omar Bakri – an Islamic radical who fled Britain when he was about to get arrested and now lives in Beirut, Lebanon.
Brooks also regrets having spent 17 years as a Christian before converting to Islam, as, like his fellow followers, he looks down on the kuffar (non-believers) as pigs and sheep.
The “Followers of Ahl Sunnah Wal Jamaah,” (ASWJ) one of the new names for these banned UK-based banned groups, has met regularly online in a chatroom belonging to the New York-based Paltalk network.
Before my last article, Brooks was the group’s most regular speaker and ranted about how it was every Muslim’s duty to kill the Queen of England, as well as breaking British anti-terror laws by preaching to listeners verbiage like this.
“…(Regarding) the jihad fought by al Qaeda, fought by OBL (Osama bin Laden), fought by Sheikh Abu Musaab Zarqawi we are obliged to support them in every single way however we can physically, financially and verbally… those who are prevented to fight physically …they must continue to support that war against kuffar financially with their money and this is a “fard” (obligation) it’s not a favor ….they must do it…”
Happily, since my last article Brooks has disappeared below the radar screen. The Paltalk group was suspended for a while as Bakri fled his apartment in the devastated area of central Beirut for the safety of a plush hotel in the hills, but when it came back online – using a new name – Brooks was conspicuous by his absence.
Tongue in cheek I asked the intelligence organization VIGIL (which has over 40 hours of recordings of Brooks breaking the law), if Vigil was perhaps at home fixing himself a suicide bomb with which to bid us farewell.
But Vigil spokesperson Dominic Whiteman told me by e-mail, “Brooks is running scared. Just before the Lebanon crisis broke out, we had Brooks in a one-on-one on the Paltalk network, after we had rattled him in front of his group. We asked him whether he was going to flee Britain like Bakri, or go to jail like Abu Hamza. He was so rattled that he forgot to use his disguise of Abu Baraa, and popped up as Omar Brooks, which got our recording team celebrating because he’d just gone and put another of his names to his crimes. His responses to our question showed a man at the end of his tether, just waiting for that knock on the door.”
Whiteman said he didn’t think it likely that Brooks is preparing for a suicide attack.
He wrote, “On the ASWJ private message board a seemingly dispirited Brooks posted a message about two weeks ago, saying that he really missed his nightly preaching and was far away. However, he said he would come to London to give a talk to his followers at the start of September.”
Whiteman called Brooks’ response “rather pathetic.” He added that Brooks “only received one reply, and that was a message of support rather than an acceptance of attendance, from a junior member of the group. Brooks has either been ostracized by the group’s other leaders or, more likely, realizes that his game is up and is running scared still. I don’t blame him – the British Crown Prosecution Service is already investigating him and after his 7/11 pronouncements on video, it appears likely that not just the British authorities will be wanting him behind bars.”
It seems that Bakri chooses men in his own image to run his groups in Britain while he is in exile. While there is no doubt that these radicals inspire impressionable young people to wage jihad (Islamic holy war), it is clear that when the bombs are falling and they get stressed out, they personally fail to live up to the demands of their own rhetoric.
When Bakri and Brooks are faced with the option of either confronting or retreating they hide or flee. They flee and hide, (fortunately) not having the manliness or the courage to turn their exhortations into actions.
I have a suspicion that neither Bakri or Brooks will come out of their apparently self-imposed fear-filled exile to answer the charges continued in this article. But I am willing to be proved wrong!
