Note to Taleban: you're only angering people like me and increasing my desire to see the lot of you swinging from trees with your guts torn out.

Britain and the rest of Europe are a target for Taleban militants who have been inspired by rebel fighters in Iraq and are now planning attacks abroad for the first time, a Taleban commander has said.

The other day, Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad told Lisbon's Publica magazine that a group of London Islamists are "ready to launch a big operation" on British soil.

"We don't make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents," he said, clarifying the ground rules. "Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value."

The cleric added he expected to see the banner of Islam flying in Downing Street. "I believe one day that is going to happen. Because this is my country, I like living here," he said. "If they believe in democracy, who are they afraid of? Let Omar Bakri benefit from democracy!"

This is becoming a common line. The other day, who should show up at the airport in Toronto but the son and widow of Ahmed Said Khadr, known as "al-Kanadi" because he was the highest-ranking Canuck in al-Qa'eda.

One of Pop Khadr's sons was captured in Afghanistan after killing a US Special Forces medic. Another has just been released from Guantanamo. Another blew himself up while killing a Canadian soldier in Kabul. Pop Khadr died in an al-Qa'eda shoot-out with Pakistani forces a few weeks back, in the course of which his youngest son was paralysed.

So Mrs Khadr and her boy have now returned to Canada so he can enjoy the benefits of Ontario healthcare. "I’m Canadian, and I'm not begging for my rights," she declared. "I'm demanding my rights."

They are going after the Brits because they are not alowed to defend themselves. Try that in America and the result will be totally different!
