US Ambassador Visits and Praises Radical London Mosque; Offers to Fund Visit to America
Big Peace ^ | December 3, 2010

The U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom visited and praised a well-known extremist mosque in London Monday, and invited its youth to participate in an embassy-funded initiative to travel to the United States. The East London Mosque (ELM) hosted recent speeches by al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula leader and now Specially Designated Global Terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, a prominent leader of extremist group Jamaat-e-Islami Bangladesh, and a wide variety of other radical leaders. That’s beside hate and terrorism promoted by the mosque’s leaders and the Islamic Forum for Europe (IFE), a group headquartered in the mosque complex.

U.S. ambassador Louis B. Susman went to ELM, which, in combination with the adjoined London Muslim Centre, holds more than 5,000 worshippers. During his visit, Susman said he had “great admiration” for the mosque and was “looking forward” to a dialogue with community members. He also invited young people from the community to enroll in the U.S. embassy’s cultural and interfaith program, which coordinates trips for young leaders to the United States.

ELM’s long history of radical ties was the focus of a major documentary on Britain’s Channel 4 in March. A cursory search on Google of the terms “East London Mosque Radical” generates multiple hits that show the mosque’s radical connections. Recent reports have also appeared in major British papers such as the Independent and the Telegraph.

According to Channel 4’s documentary, “Dispatches: Britain’s Islamic Republic,” ELM hosted a wide variety of extremist speakers...

On Thursday, a State Department official said Susman’s visit to the ELM was among several mosque visits Susman made as “part of President Obama’s call for a renewed dialogue with Muslim communities around the world.” The official did not address the ELM’s connections with radicals....

Note: this ambassador was rewarded with his ambassadorship for raising tons of money for Obama (and John Kerry, who served in Vietnam.) This story makes me want to throw up. Our country's representative is sucking up to the bastards who want to destroy us. The LAST THING we need is more Muzzie "young leaders" visiting our country.

"Make sure you bone up on IEDs for your American cousins who may have less training in their assembly." -U.S. Ambassador Louis B. Susman *

*not a real quote, but then again Susman is not a 'real' Ambassador, just a hack.

Islam is a vile, barbaric, gutter religion for a vile, barbaric and gutter people. Both need to be wiped off the face of the earth.

Sad, isn’t it...

My husband was in the first Iraqi war. As I prayed for his safety, and for the men he was with, one of the things that kept my thinking straight was, regardless of where a person is, what they are doing, or how many people may lose their lives at the same time, in God’s eyes we enter eternity one by one.
As I watch this avalanche evil sweeping through our country, and the evil, selfish men who rule over us, as a grandmother, I want to grab my submachine gun and do something about it!
But then I remember my simple thought, and trust each soul to the wise, all knowing God who doeth all things well.
It is all very, very sad and hard to take.
