Omar Bakri Mohammed, the founder of al-Muhajiroun, a movement that aims to create a worldwide Islamic state. The group has been linked to the involvement of British Muslims fighting with Taliban forces in Afghanistan.

Mr Bakri Mohammed, who lives in Tottenham, north London, was accused of making inflammatory statements after the hijackings but has since tried to keep a lower profile.

Islamic Radicals Hold Pro Death To America Celebration Meeting In UK


LONDON - As much of the world paused Wednesday to mourn the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, a group of Islamic militants gathered to discuss the "positive outcomes" of the violence they claim to reject, and to praise the aims of Osama bin Laden Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed of the radical group Al-Muhajiroun said the meeting at Finsbury Park Mosque, titled "Sept. 11, 2001: A Towering Day in History," argues that the attacks were justified because Muslims must defend themselves against armed aggression

Jim, I've done a search on the web. Two of the sites on Shiek Omar Bakri Mohammed give me a message of "This page can not be found." and the other is on a Jihad Fatwa that he declared on Israel in October of 2000.

An automatic weapon, a machine gun, five plastic explosives and two detonators were found in his car, according to police.

So have the French surrendered yet?

This in sync with the 5 being looked for in the US and the speculation of something happening on New Years Day is a mite bit unnerving.

No matter what nationality-alert citizens can make all the difference. It matters. I join you in your kudos for this aware and responsible person who reported what they observed. One by one-we are going to slap down the jerks who would use terror to score cowardly, meaningless victory.

A Syrian-born activist has called for Muslims in Britain to join a holy war against Israel following the outbreak of violence between Palestinians and Israelis in the Middle East.

Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed said it was the duty of all Muslims to give support to the Palestinians.

"We are talking about a cancer in the heart of the Muslim world and that is Israel," Mr Bakri Mohammed said.

"It must be eradicated and removed."

Mr Bakri Mohammed is the founder of Al-Muhajiroun.

Mr Bakri Mohammed told the crowd: "All Israeli targets are legitimate for you. All Israelis must be destroyed."

"The Americans and the British governments are acting to destroy Islam," Mr Bakri Mohammed said.

an FBI memo that raised concerns about Middle Eastern men in Phoenix-area flight schools last summer linked several in the group to a London-based radical Islamic organization, sources said, and an intelligence review later tied one of the men directly to Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda network. The memo, written by agent Kenneth Williams and e-mailed to the FBI's Washington headquarters on July 10, 2001, noted the connection to Al-Muhajiroun, a London-based group headed by a Syrian-born cleric named Sheik Mohammed Omar Bakri, a government source said. Agent Ken Williams' memo apparently raised concerns about the students' affiliation with Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed's group because the sheik had been involved with a fatwa — an Islamic call to action — that suggested airports as one of several legitimate attack targets in the United States, officials told The Associated Press. Bakri, also known as Omar Bakri Fostok, has been connected by U.S. and British intelligence to bin Laden and the Britain-based group is dedicated to the establishment of a global Muslim state.

In this message, Sheik Bakri declared, "The Jihad against the Jews occupying Palestine will continue until they withdraw completely from the whole of Palestine including the Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip because any aggression against any Muslim property or land by any Kuffar or non-Muslim forces whether American, British or the Jews of Israeli makes Jihad (i.e. fighting) against them an obligation upon all Muslims." ERRI's Clark Staten said that Al-Muhajiroun (including a Pakistani chapter) may have also had links to the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole and the hijacking of IndianAir 814. Citing security concerns, officials at both the FBI and the CIA have declined to publicly discuss the issue.

Some British Muslims print a poster to "celebrate and rejoice" over the 9/11 attacks

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. [...]

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.

Bakri, also known as Omar Bakri Fostok, has been connected by U.S. and British intelligence to bin Laden and has openly supported bin Laden's calls for jihad, or holy war, against the United States, the officials said.

Williams' memo mentioned one fatwa involving Bakri that identified several possible targets, including airports, the officials said.

Not mentioned in Williams' memo were several other links between the London sheik, who is of Syrian descent, and bin Laden.

Bakri was one of several Muslim leaders to receive a letter faxed from Afghanistan in the summer of 1998 from bin Laden that laid out four objectives for a jihad against the United States, including downing airliners.

``Bring down their airliners. Prevent the safe passage of their ships. Occupy their embassies. Force the closure of their companies and banks,'' the bin Laden letter to Bakri read.

Bakri also is quoted as calling himself ``the mouth, eyes and ears'' of bin Laden and his group recruits young Muslims to participate in a jihad across the globe.

Shortly after the USS Cole bombing in Yemen in October 2000, Bakri received an international call claiming responsibility for the attack on the U.S. ship from ``Muhammad's Army,'' an extremist group previously known to be active only in the Russian regions of Chechnya and Dagestan. U.S. officials believe bin Laden was behind that attack as well.

Bakri has issued other fatwas against British leaders and Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf — some since Sept. 11, officials said.

"How? Where's the money? Plus there are about 40 states who are deathly afraid of such a development..."

I imagine you guys could manage the oil wealth a good chunk better than the Gulf's current rulers. More to the point, you guys strike me as having nearly nipped all of this Wahhabi crap in the bud 200 years ago and generally seemed to do a pretty good job of running the region.

Besides, I imagine all of those oil profits would do wonders for your economy ...

[sheik yerbouty]

It's time to finish this business with the jihadists. They should receive the fate of Carthage!

So have the French surrendered yet?

Beat me to the punch.

SHEIK OMAR BAKRI MUHAMMED: You can insult God, you can insult Messingum, you can insult Jesus, Moses, Mohammed, but dare you to speak about what - about USA Government. Hah, almighty man disagree with that. You ask a government, it is angels government.

DAVID HARDAKER: One of Britain's extreme clerics, Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammed, urging on a gathering of young English Muslims to wage Holy war.

SHEIK OMAR BAKRI MUHAMMED: I'm ask you brother, can you say they become doctors in the west? Pilot. Who's [inaudible] they want to become pilot [laughter]. [inaudible] they become terrorists [inaudible] pilots.

DAVID HARDAKER: Joking about September 11 goes down well here. A group of the young men who hang off the Sheik's words told me later they'd be more than happy to sign up as suicide pilots - all for the fundamentalist cause.
