efreedomnews WAR ON TERRORISM - AN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE |
The Dark Side of Freedom: Terrorists Celebrate 911 in London Mosque: Cleric Wanted by FBI Jonathan Rhodes efreedomnews.com September 15, 2002 Overlooked by the media - for the most part - while America mourned its dead and honored its heroes on September 11, 2002, an "obscene spectacle" took place at a London mosque. DONNA ABU-NASR, AP Writer and Farrukh Dhondy, City Journal Online reported on the surreal "celebration" of the WTC attack. A meeting entitled "Sept. 11, 2001: A Towering Day in History," found over 1000 Muslims gathered at 1 PM in order to "applaud the action of the WTC bombers at exactly 1:46 PM London time - the exact hour, a year earlier, when the first plane hit its target in New York... Menacing young men with kaffiyehs over their faces stood on the mosque's steps to prevent unfriendly journalists from entering." 500 of London's Metropolitan Police stood by to protect their rights to hold this meeting.
His funds were frozen by the U.S. Treasury for his alleged membership in the Islamic Army of Aden. That organization is linked to al-Qaida and claimed responsibility for the bombing of the USS Cole He is wanted in Yemen on criminal charges stemming from the arrest of six of his followers, including his son, arrested for terrorism after being caught with weapons, explosives, plans and maps for attacking British diplomats. Hamza's response to the arrests:
The headliner for this horror pageant was Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad, the London-based leader of the Islamic cult Al Muhajiroun, which has issued a decree calling for the murder of "those who wage war against Allah". His fundamentalist view of Islam has no room for democracy or other religions. At this event he was quoted, "Definitely al-Qaida has got rational justification for what they did on Sept. 11." His website Al Muhajiroun contains fatwahs calling for the murder of General Musharraf of Pakistan and others, like the US, who would resist the universal rule of his Islam.
The group recruits on university campuses and encourages members to join armed struggles abroad. Its goal is to make Britain an Islamic state.
If the reader needs a clear explanation of the perverted fundamentalist version of Islam, go to Al Muhajiroun and link to the "fatwas." It is untenable that the clearly seditious cult terrorist recruiters Abu Hamza al-Masri and Omar Bakri are free today. How guilty does one have to be? |
CNS NEWS.com: "RADICALS HAIL BIN LADEN AS 'HERO'" by Mike Wendling (ARTICLE SNIPPET: "London (CNSNews.com) - Attendees at a radical Islamic conference held one year after the Sept. 11 attacks hailed terrorist leader Osama bin Laden as a "hero" and warned of possible suicide bombings in the United States and Britain.

Wednesday's proceedings were led by al-Muhajiroun leader Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed and Abu Hamza al-Masri, who is wanted in Yemen for his alleged connections to the Islamic Army of Aden - the group that claimed responsibility for the bombing of the USS Cole in October 2000.")
