4,000 Muslim Brits Join Taliban
UK Daily Star ^ | 26th February 2009 | Ross Kaniuk

Posted on 02/28/2009 2:28:21 PM PST by GOPGuide

THOUSANDS of British-born Muslims have joined the Taliban in Afghanistan.

UK troops say they are facing a mini civil war as more Brits head out to fight for the enemy.

Senior officers said British-born Muslims from the West Midlands and Yorkshire have travelled to Helmand province and other parts of southern Afghanistan.

Interception of Taliban communications has revealed the sound of jihadists speaking with West Midlands accents.

One senior military source said: “It is the Punjabi and Kashmiri Urdu speakers who fall back into English in, for example, Brummie accents.

“You get the impression they have been told not to talk in English but sometimes can’t help it.”

Brigadier Ed Butler, the former commander of the British forces in Afghan-istan, said: “There are British passport holders who live in the UK who are being found in places such as Kandahar.”

Robert Emerson, a security analyst, added: “There is ample evidence British Muslims trained in camps in Pakistan.

“What is emerging now is a picture of them being more active in Afghanistan, either providing support and logistics or in active service.”

The US has stepped up surveillance inside Pakistan.

They believe the UK is not doing enough to curb radical Muslims.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of the Commons’ sub-committee on anti-terrorism, which has been examining the activities of British Muslim extremists, said: “We know the problem we have with UK-based jihadists.

“With the UK intelligence services at full stretch, it is not surprising some of these ended up in Afghanistan.”

MI5 has revealed that British Muslims with Somali roots have started fighting with al-Qaida-backed forces in the African country.

One 21-year-old suicide bomber brought up in Ealing, west London, recently killed 20 others when he blew himself up in a Somali town.

My question is how many Muslim immigrants in the US are working on Jihad operations here?

Suicidal

Hang them. It worked for William Joyce (Lord Haw Haw).

Nearly all of them, to one degree or another, passively or actively.

The ones who speak out, who report suspicious activities, are excluded from my blanket assessment.

I don't remember Britain and America allowing members of the Nazi party - even the "passive" Nazis - being allowed to immigrate to the US during WWII?

The British government should open up Taliban recruiting stations in muslim neighborhoods throughout the country.

"Demographic time bomb" problem solved.

It is every good muslim’s duty to renounce their citizenship from their filthy infidel-ridden western host nations and join the jihad in Afghanistan. And don’t forget your toothbrush.

We should encourage volunteers for this sublime Koranic duty from our dog vomit Somali communities.

Probably more than anyone would like to admit.
Another question..How many Mexican immigrants in the US are working on organized crime drug cartel operations here?

Well, we know they’re organized in at least 230 cities so far.

Now now. lets’ not get too carried away. Just because I don’t go around ranting and raving about catholic priests molesting children doesn’t mean I condone it. ‘course, I’m not catholic.

there are muslims who eat pork, drink beer, marry western women, and want nothing to do with middle eastern self proclaimed holy men or their politics. Unfortunately, I suspect it is the children of these individuals that become the taliban volunteers this article is about.

It seems to me that islam is like alcoholism. the islamofascisims skips generations.

Then they are not true Muslins. Sheet man! None of them should be excluded from the blanket party.

Islam Is Not A Religion

The link at #19.

Getting along with Islam is like pouring gas on your head to get rid of head lice—then lighting a match to see if it worked.
