A visit to radical Islamic Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammad's web site appears to indicate that there is some sort of Islamic terror attack planned on the United Kingdom.
A poster advertising a London rally on Feb.16 shows an ominous brooding individual with a map of the United Kingdom and several sights emblazoned on his chest. Dominating the picture a portion of the country is in the crosshairs of a gun. A gun is also displayed prominently on the bottom right hand corner of the poster.
While the image could initially be thought of as a very sick joke, a quick perusal of the site will quickly convince you that Bakri Muhammad means business and that graphics like this need to be taken seriously.
On an explanation page of what Bakri and his movement stand for, visitors to the site can read this almuhajiroun exists to call society to Islam, to command society to do good and to forbid society from doing evil, and to work to establish the Khilafah.
However, here's the scary part about how Muhammad and his followers go about accomplishing their objectives. (Our) "methodology to achieve these objectives is not rational, but rather based on the divine text and is the same as that employed by Rasool Allah (saw). It is necessary to follow his (saw) example in carrying da'wa, the same way he (saw) commanded the good and forbade the evil of society and the same way he (saw) established the first Islamic State in Madina".
Although this poster appears to be the most horrifying thing on the site at present, Muhammad's personal philosophy appears to be right in step with the threat so graphically portrayed. For example. Like Osama bin Laden, Muhammad wants to see the worldwide domination of Islamic rule. Under an article titled "Western Values are Perverted Values," we see a horrifying definition of both Muhammad's personal philosophy and Islamic fundamentalism.
"Islam does not recognize freedom, but rather insists on complete submission to the law of Allah in all the affairs of society, whether that be in the ruling, social, economic or judicial systems or in the foreign policy of the Islamic State. There is no compulsion for non-Muslims to embrace Islam but no compromise in obeying the ISLAMIC law of the land, upon Muslims and non-Muslims. Democracy is also anathema to Islam, since Muslims do not believe in the rule of the majority or in elections every four or five years or in sovereignty for anyone or anything other than Allah, whether that is the people, their government or any constitution, be it the UN, OIC or any other body. As for secularism, Islam considers anyone adopting this to have committed an act of apostasy, for considering any part of life's affairs to be outside the ambit of the divine law will make one a non-Muslim apostate."
In case you still have any doubts about Muhammad's intent and fundamentalist Islamic ideology, this article makes it abundantly clear. It reads:
"The Islamic ideology is an ideology revealed by Allah, the Creator. It offers the only correct, comprehensive, and viable way of life for the human race, providing them with a sound purpose, a clear vision, and a stable life. It manifests itself in the personalities of its followers and in the form of a system implemented by a State. It is a universal ideology meant to liberate all of mankind. Consequently, one cannot accept for this ideology to be confined to a specific people or land; rather, it has to be offered to all of mankind. In order to deliver this ideology to the rest of humanity, the State that adopts this ideology shoulders the responsibility of carrying it to new lands. As would be expected, this goal will lead to a conflict with other states and their ideologies. This conflict has to be resolved either through diplomacy or through force ."
Jihad, or the use of force, is the official foreign policy of the Islamic State. If you think otherwise and are still toying with the thought that Islam is a peaceful religion, you're fooling yourself. An article on Muhammad's site points this out:
"At best, (Jihad's) legal meaning can be understood as ‘using military force, where diplomacy fails, to remove the obstacles the Islamic State faces in carrying its ideology to mankind.' The aim of Jihad, unlike the Crusades, past and present, is not to forcibly convert the inhabitants of other lands to Islam. Rather, it is to provide them with the security that comes from the application of Islam, leaving them the choice of adopting Islam or keeping their own religions. The affairs of the society however must be run according to Islamic law."
It's obvious Muhammad is posing a house of horrors that you should pray you never have the misfortune to enter. But who is the man? He was born in Aleppo, Syria, in 1958 and grew up in a wealthy Muslim family, becoming a serious student of Islam and the Koran. He received his B.A. in Shari'ah and the foundations of Islamic law from Shari'ah University in Damascus, obtaining a master's degree in Islamic jurisprudence from the University of Al-Imam Al-U'zaie in Beirut.
According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, Muhammad portrays himself as being the spokesman for bin Laden's International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders and according to MEMRI has admitted that the organization raises funds for the Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and is "in touch" with the Hizbullah.
According to MEMRI, Muhammad has lived in London since 1985 and preaches at a number of London mosques. He also routinely presents himself as a spokesman for the International Islamic Front, which he describes as being the political wing of bin Laden's Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders.
Not surprisingly, Muhammad has no problem with airplane hijackings, according to MEMRI reportedly telling an Egyptian newsweekly:
"The Islamic movement has the right to sacrifice whoever it sees fit. The rule is that (Muslim) children, women, and the weak should not be a goal except in one situation: if it is difficult to win without sacrificing them. So, if hijackers find (Muslim) women, and children and elderly people on a (hijacked) plane, they should set them free except if the goal of the hijackers is to free women, children, and elderly people held prisoners in countries. In this case, they can be kept, because the blood of Muslims is equal (to others blood), but they can sacrifice foreigners on the plane... and if you study Sharia you will know that. The fedya (ransom) of a Muslim is 12,000 dirhams, while that of a Dhimmi (i.e. a Christian or a Jew under Muslim rule) is 4,000 dirhams."

Whatever you do, do SOMETHING! Your failure to do anything may just provide the opportunity for Muhammad's terrifying view of society to come to reality!
