“Mixed Messages from Cageprisoners
Your View, February 8th 2010, 5:00 pm
This is a cross-post from Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens”
SNIPPET: “In yesterdays Sunday Times, CagePrisoners (CP) was criticised for promoting al-Qaeda preacher Anwar al-Awlaki on their site. The groups head, Moazzam Begg, responded by saying that I dont consider anybody a terrorist until they have been charged and convicted of terrorism. The only problem with this is that his organisations website is replete with profiles and sympathetic interviews with convicted terrorists. Rightly, Begg follows the innocent until proven guilty line, but when they are convicted, CP seem to give the terrorists a lot of sympathy.”

“Hi Kids! Remember, Annihilate Those Who Insult Islam”
ALEXANDER MELEAGROU-HITCHENS
SNIPPET: “Both on this blog, and Harry’s Place, Moazzam Begg’s CagePrisoners (CP) group has featured fairly regularly - especially since one of their favourite Sheikhs’, Anwar al-Awlaki, turned out to be an al-Qaeda supporter.
Although CP claims to campaign for raising awareness of the plight of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and other detainees held as part of the War on Terror’, much of its website is dedicated to individuals convicted of terrorism offences in the UK. These people are not detainees’ who are held’, they are prisoners who are guilty of either trying to kill civilians, or encouraging others to do so.”

“Shameless”
ALEXANDER MELEAGROU-HITCHENS
SNIPPET: “What would you do if you found out that, for the last three years, you were engaged in promoting and supporting an al-Qaeda ideologue with extensive links to the last two terrorist attacks in the United States? Most people would likely show a bit of humility and “sit the next couple of plays out”. Not Moazzam Begg however, whose organisation, Cageprisoners, are the UK’s leading promoters of al-Qaeda linked preacher, Anwar al-Awlaki. Instead, Begg has come out fighting.
Last week, he wrote an indignant article responding to criticism of him and his group where he tried, and failed, to defend his links to Awlaki.”
