Training camp: Stills from the video show men preparing for jihad
Posted on 11/21/2007 8:46:49 PM PST by Stoat
A Muslim extremist took part in a campaign to recruit and train "jihadists" after flying to Britain posing as a student.
Pakistani-born Abdul Rahman, 25, arrived in the UK on a student visa, but spent just one day at university before dropping out.
He then joined up with a gang of radical young Muslims who aimed to scout, recruit and encourage others to take up arms in a holy war.
Disturbing video footage showed the group taking part in an arduous 'Al Qaeda training camp' in the Lake District in preparation for the jihad.
Rahman was last night facing up to six years in jail after he admitted helping a terrorist suspect flee the country.

He admitted handing the suspect, who was subject to a Government control order, around £500 to help him buy plane tickets to flee the UK.
The court heard that after the suspect got away, police raided Rahman's house, where they found video footage of him taking part in the Lake District training camp.
The film referred to one as a suicide bomber whilst two others were seen crawling, commando-style, through the snow and undergrowth near Langdale, Cumbria, praising Allah and the Chechen Mujahideen.
In Rahman's house, police found hunting knives, two-way radios, GPS equipment and propaganda - including a document referring to terrorist finishing schools called How Can I Train Myself for Jihad?
Yesterday Rahman admitted two offences under the 2006 Terrorism Act and pleaded guilty to a further charge of helping a terror suspect defy a control order.
The case illustrated the weaknesses of control orders, said one senior police source outside court.
He added: 'There is real concern these orders are not worth the paper they are written on and do nothing in real terms to protect the public.
"Despite these orders, suspected terrorists are able to move around the UK and even leave the country to go and fight jihad elsewhere."

Abdul Rahman is the first person in Britain to be convicted of a charge of disseminating terrorist information
Manchester Crown Court heard that Rahman started a pharmacology degree in 2000 at a university in Pakistan close to the Afghanistan border, but dropped out after a year.
He moved to the UK in 2004 on a student visa and registered to begin a biotechnology degree at Abertay University in Dundee. After his first day, he left for Manchester telling tutors he had financial difficulties.
Parmjit Cheema, prosecuting, said Rahman took a job in a mobile phone shop and mixed with radical Muslims, sharing a house with some of them.
She said: "Their particular interest, it would appear, was the perceived assault on Islam in Afghanistan and the need as they saw it to provide resources and fighters for that conflict."
She said Rahman played a vital role supporting jihadists in Pakistan and acting as a "pipeline" to the UK.
In January this year he met up with a 22-year-old man, known only as AK for legal reasons, who had just been served with a control order.
Rahman gave him £480 to flee the country. Before taking a flight to Lahore via Tehran, CCTV filmed AK at Birmingham Airport after he had ditched his usual traditional Muslim attire for Westernised clothing.
Detective Chief Superintendent Tony Porter, of Greater Manchester Police Counter-Terrorism Unit, said: "This man provided support to people determined to carry out terrorist acts.
"He was clearly intent on drawing others into his network."
Rahman will be sentenced today.
Yes.
Thank you for understanding.
Not meaning to appear argumentative, but I might suggest that the Islamofascists are far worse than the lowliest animal or insect, because even a cockroach has a basic will to live and only eats enough to survive, never massing together to wantonly kill as the jihadist trash do. Even the lowest of God's creatures understands the great gift of Life that it has been Blessed with, but the muzzies don't because they live in darkness and want to bring this darkness upon the rest of the world as well.
Since 9/11 people have forgotten how wicked they really are and how fortunate we are to have a leader like George Bush determined to hunt them down and eradicate them.
Agreed on all counts, and I fear that another massive terror event will be necessary in order for many to wake up once again. Sadly, that will most likely not be enough because I seem to recall that it was only days after 9/11 before "the usual suspects" on the Left started bleating about how it was "our fault".
Some will never learn regardless of how many die and suffer, but fortunately there are still adults living and breathing who will protect the idiots, despite themselves.
Beatrix Potter would be rolling in her grave if she knew these creatures were defiling her beloved Lake District.
The poor little p-—y can’t even manage a decent beard.
Between the jihadist trash and the Leftist trash, it appears that the Lake District has more than it's fair share of troubles.

Undoubtedly he thought that he was hot stuff and was going to take his scruffy, misshapen little beard and pasty, effeminate little face to meet Allah one day soon and be assured of his 79 virgins or whatever that pedophile psychopath imagined a few hundred years ago, but the joke's on him.
Great Britain doesn't have a death penalty, and so he isn't going to die for a very, very long time. It won't be a warrior's death, and it won't be a martyr's death. It will be a miserable life of bad food, no Playstation, endless homosexual gang-rapes and occasional beatings. It won't be long before he understands that maybe jihadism wasn't such a great idea after all but it'll be too late to do him any good.
Hopefully we will get occasional updates from the inside, as we do with some other terrorist trash:

The weakness is the corrupted moral standards of Britain.
No more absolutes just relatism.
They’re on the Neville Chamberlain highway to hell.
I was taught that the euor-trash socialists were superior to
Americans in every way.
That’s dead.
Does Britain have any men left to fight off the Islamic
fascist invasion?

If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
Quite a few of us are causing low - level disruption to Leftist/Islamic groups , as well as funding militant Jewish and Serbs so that they can wipe out Islam in their lands .
I cannot go into more detail for obvious reasons .

The still photos of them training in winter snow wearing dark outfits reminds me of the Russian punishment battalions during the Second World War on the Eastern Front. They make dazzling targets for even the poorest rifleman. Let’s hope their level of intelligence in these matters remain at the moron level....
Thank you trussell,here’s a bump.
well said. very well said.
Thank you for your kind words :-)
