Muslim fanatics sparked anger today after plastering Birmingham bus stops with sickening posters showing the destruction of the Twin Towers.
The radical Al Muhajiroun group, headed by the controversial London-based Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed, has put up the posters in the Saltley area. They show a graphic image of one of the World Trade Centre towers on fire with a jet about to smash into the second tower.
Above, in a parody of the famous Bonfire night poem, are the words 'Re-member, remember the 11th of September'. The posters advertise a three-hour conference called 'September the 11th 2001 - A Towering Day in History'.
It is due to be held in central London next Wednesday on the first anniversary of the terrorist atrocities.
But devout Muslim groups in the city were today quick to condemn the conference, claiming it would be nothing more than a celebration of the attacks on New York and Washington.
Fundamental Muslim leader Abu Khadeejah, who last week staged the Salafi Islamic event in Birmingham, said: "The Al Muhajiroun conference will be about rejoicing and praising what took place on September 11.
"Al Muhajiroun are an extreme minority that feed on people with little knowledge of Islam and who feel alienated from society as a whole.
"To them it is all about spreading hate and destruction."
Coun John Lines (Con, Bartley Green) said: "I think these posters incite racial hatred. What this group are saying is fascist. These people should be drummed out of Birmingham along with their posters."
But Al Muhajiroun leader Omar Bakri Mohammed told the Evening Mail the conference would be a peaceful event to discuss why September 11 took place.
"I condemn all sorts of violence, but we need to take lessons from what happened and not keep mourning," he said.
"There may be people at the conference who feel that September 11 was justifiable, but it will be about learning from what happened and trying to find ways of moving forward together."
The 44-year-old Syrian-born 'sheik' has, however, openly backed bin Laden's philosophy in recent months.
Yes, because they're still in mecca-mode. If the conference is a success--or whenever the time is right--they'll switch to medina-mode
"Al Muhajiroun are an extreme minority"
Yes, who have switched to medina-mode prematurely.
The question is not whether the September 11 massacre was a glorious act. The question is when to switch from mecca-mode to medina-mode.
It's a question of timing and strategy. That's all.
What the "Liberal" wackos of the West and these Muslim wackos (whom they welcome with open arms of Tolerance and Diversity) have in common is wackoism. Maybe ultimately it's that one wacko just loves another wacko, and the rhetoric and dogma are beside the point.
It's some form of central nervous system dysfunction.
(In other words: they're all nuts.)

It would appear that those same millions of people are already both raving nutburgers and hell bent on our destruction, too. As far as that bit about bringing peace, well, it did seem to have that effect some 57 years ago when nothing else could do it.
Ditto
Why are they in our country if even the other Muslims view them as too violent?
At first glance, I thought this was thread about Murry Mom.
"'Oh you see,' said she,If they were content to float these crocodiles down the Nile by themselves, and if the only consequences of their silly actions would be that at the end of the ride the "Liberals" were inside, there would really be no problem. In fact, it might be all for the best. But unfortunately, these deranged fools are determined to drag the rest of us along with them for the ride! The more we resist, the deeper they sink into delusions and the more they sing of tameness and victimhood.
'He's as tame as he can be.
I'll float him down the Nile.But the crock winked his eye
As she waved them all goodbye,
Wearing a happy smile!'"
The problem with Nazi skinheads though is they're just like Muslims.
