Cousin listened to boasts about suicide mission

ON HIS last visit to relatives in Pakistan this year, one of the London bombers, Shehzad Tanweer, boasted of wanting to die in a revenge attack over the way Muslims are treated.

While his family in Leeds had no idea about his suicide mission, Tanweer confessed to his cousin his ambition to become a “holy warrior”. At his father’s home village 30 miles from Faisalabad, Mohammad Saleem described yesterday how Tanweer, 22, hero-worshipped Osama bin Laden.

Mr Saleem supported his cousin’s bombing at Aldgate station which killed seven people, saying: “Whatever he has done, if he has done it, then he has done right.” He recalled how Tanweer argued with family and friends about the need for violent retaliation over US abuse of Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo Bay.

Tanweer was no stranger to the village of Chak No 477, where his grandfather and several cousins live. During his last trip, the college dropout was visited by another of the bombers, Mohammad Sidique Khan. They are said to have met a known al-Qaeda activist who has since been jailed for bombing a church. “Whenever he would listen about sufferings of Muslims he would become very emotional and sentimental,” Mr Saleem said. “He was a good Muslim . . . he also wished to take part in jihad and lay down his life.

“He knew that excesses are being done to Muslims. Incidents like desecration of the Koran have always been in his mind.”

His uncle, Tahir Pervaiz, told the Pakistani daily Dawn: “Osama bin Laden was Shehzad’s ideal and he used to discuss the man with his cousins and friends in the village.”

After Tanweer’s death, more than 2,000 villagers turned out to pray for him.

A day after intelligence officials in Islamabad claimed to have seized Haroon Rashid Aswat, the Yorkshire-born al-Qaeda veteran, Mark Lyall-Grant, the British High Commissioner, said that nobody had been arrested in Pakistan “related to the London bombings”.

The claim for one of the reasons why.

He recalled how Tanweer argued with family and friends about the need for violent retaliation over US abuse of Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo Bay."

"one of the London bombers, Shehzad Tanweer, boasted of wanting to die in a revenge attack over the way Muslims are treated."

He must really hate courtesy and deference.

We've been kissing their collective rear end and this is what we get back? Might as well turn up the heat, guys.

[Parley Baer]

Thank you turbin durbin and the msn.

[muawiyah]

Kid was full of nonsense. In the end if there's much more of this Faisalabad is going to go on someone's targeting list, and that'll be bad for that whole country.

Seems to me the best bet for the Pakistan's government is to round these guys up NOW.

You mean like..Oh never mind. That argument is so absurd, that it should be ridiculed in the press, but it wont be..

boasted of wanting to die in a revenge attack over the way Muslims are treated.

Gee, I just can't see why muslims are treated so poorly (rolleyes)

[MizSterious]

He knew, yet he didn't warn anyone? Lock him up as an accomplice.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

After reading this story I really need to buy a Koran so I can rip a page out every day, drop it in the toilet, and piss on it. How many days worth of pages will I get?

[sgtbono2002]

You arent far from being right. Durbin and Kennedy and Kerry have been giving aid and comfort to the enemies of this country for a long time. Now we see some poor idiots have been listening.

It must be a sorry life if you would give it away blowing yourself to smithereens for a rich bastid like Bin Laden.

He recalled how Tanweer argued with family and friends about the need for violent retaliation over US abuse of Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo Bay.

Now we have proof that Durbin and the lying MSM have innocent blood on their hands. The Bible says liars will have their place in the lake of fire.

Incidents like desecration of the Koran have always been in his mind.”

Thank you newsweek.

"one of the London bombers, Shehzad Tanweer, boasted of wanting to die in a revenge attack over the way Muslims are treated."

Most of this insane view of the world comes from the use of Saudi oil money to spread the insane world view of Wahabbism.

Literally billions of dollars have been spent indoctrinating impressionable Muslim youth all over the world.

The remaining insanity comes from the left, who after all of their ideology has been shown to be bankrupt, cling to the weird notion that capitalism's success will result in a communist revolt from poor, third world countries. As capitalism is defined to be evil, any person or group attacking capitalist countries must be "good", so they defend the islamofascists simply because they attack us.

[WmShirerAdmirer]

You stated exactly the reason why I posted the article, but there were so many besides Durbin, I didn't know with whom to start the list.

Here's the "caption" under a picture of the suicide guys with the gang white water rafting.

ONE MONTH BEFORE MURDER The London bombers Shehzad Tanweer, 22, circled front, and Mohammed Sidique Khan, 30, circled making a V sign, are photographed on a team-building exercise in Wales on June 4, a month before their suicide attacks. Also in the raft is Naveed Fiaz, 29, who is being questioned by bombing investigators, and a 32-year-old volunteer at an Islamic bookshop in Leeds (MIRRORPIX)

Don't worry, they'll print more.

"He knew, yet he didn't warn anyone? Lock him up as an accomplice."
Perhaps they could start with the accomplice named Michael Isikoff and the others at Newsweek.

[MizSterious]

Agreed. And a good number of the 'Rat politicians as well.

[mcshot]

Think they'd be terrible disappointed if they were kilt before they blew themselves up with others. I know they blow up real good but I want them to go collectively while not taking innocent lives. The starting line is fast approaching.

I'm just a simple country boy who grew up and became a software engineer.

Now, I understand that most engineers are still bumpkins, at least socially, but I must be missing something when I hear all the gripes these mohammetans keep regurgitating.

Have any "Infidels" slowly sawn off the heads of muslims in front of cameras shouting "Glory to God" with glee in their voices?

Have any "Indfidels" flown planeloads of innocent men women and children into buildings filled with innocent men women and children?

Have any "Infidels" sent suicide bombers to blow up mohammetan restaurants and shopping malls with the specific intent of inflicting carnage on people going their own way and minding their own business?

Have any "Infidels" captured schools full of young mohammetan children, starving them, stripping them of their clothing, forcing them to stew in their own excrement, only to brutally and mercilessly MURDER them?

Have any "Infidels" executed acts of vengeance for the desecration of their religious artifacts at the hands of the mohammetan savages?

Have any "Infidels" enjoyed freedom of religion in any mohamettan hellhole without the threat of mortal physical harm?

While the "Infidel" nations mollycoddle these drooling savages, the squalid, backward, repressive tyrannies formed by these foaming barbarians treat "Infidels" as second class citizens at best, often regarding them as not even human while laughingly enjoying the most heinous torment they can inflict upon them.

Rather than blowing up the "Infidels" in their busses and trains and restaurants and shopping malls and schools and hospitals and workplaces, why don't the bloody, rabid mohammetan fiends just go back to their filthy, squalid, stinking dungheap nations where they can get the first class treatment they so vigorously crave.

You see the problem involved here is the assimilation process for Muslims. Most immigrant folks knuckle down and prove to themselves and family that they are just as good a citizen as those who are native Britons. Dissaffected Muslims have an out through their religion by declaring jihad. Instead of assimilating the seperate themselves and take revenge in the name of " Allah," and in doing so believe they are assured of an entrance into heaven.

This is what I mean by todays peaceful Muslim is tomorrows
terrorist Muslim fascist. Peaceful Muslims can easily turn through having to cope with the adversity any immigrant group faces. Most people in the West have not realized how important it is to stop this process whereby Muslims can turn on their host society in this way, by jihad, instead of going to the polls and voting, organizing politically, and having to be satisfied with that.

Any madrassa school or mosque in a Wstern country which preaches the tenants of jihad as acceptable social action needs simply to be closed and the teachers deported or charged with treason and sedition.

If we wait to long to do that we will be forced to shoot them in our own streets and our country will become like Northern Ireland, in spades.
