Authors with the U.S. Office of Intelligence and Analysis added that they have "no credible or specific information that terrorists are planning operations against public buildings in the United States." The FBI and DHS analysts said they were releasing the note because "it is important for local authorities and building owners and...

The UK Islamic group called Islam4UK has been holding lectures across the UK Midlands. Islam4UK is preaching for Muslims to bring violent jihad to the streets of the UK as their leader is the hate preaching exiled Omar Bakri Muhammad. One of the lectures was billed as “Kufr Laws to be Extinct”. The group was even so kind enough to lay out how a comparison chart showing the differences between the current UK law and the brutal laws that Islam will bring. This can be seen here.

How The West Was Won The rapid and unexpected decline of the Sunni insurgency in Iraq was officially recognized this week, when Maj. Gen. John Kelly, commanding the Marine Expeditionary Force, turned operational control of Anbar Province over to the Iraqi army and police. Anbar, a vast expanse of desert the size of North Carolina, had been the stronghold of the Sunni insurgency. For years, foreign fighters loyal to al-Qaida had sneaked across Iraq's northwestern border with Syria, into Anbar and down a "rat line" of safe houses in Haditha, Ramadi and Hit. From Fallujah, the arch terrorist Zarqawi...

Petraeus: Al Qaida Trying to 'Come Back In' U.S. military officials said there will be no significant reduction in coalition troops in the Baghdad area as part of an effort to stop the Al Qaida offensive in northern Iraq. They said Al Qaida was trying to reenter Baghdad and reverse its losses in 2007. "Al Qaida is trying to come back in," U.S. military commander Gen. David Petraeus said. "We can feel it and see it, and what we're trying to do is rip out any roots before they can get deeply into the ground." Read More Militants Assert...

EXILED hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed sparked outrage last night by branding boxing hero Amir Khan an “ignorant deviant”. Bakri, 49, also said devout Muslim Amir was a BAD role model for youngsters because he drapes himself in the Union flag. Pals of proud Brit Amir, 21, said he was “shocked and hurt” by the rant. And warped cleric Bakri was last night challenged to repeat his slur on Amir — face to face in a BOXING RING. The dare was issued by an MP after Bakri branded Amir a “deviant” for brandishing the Union flag in the ring. The...

THERE was a time when Omar Bakri Mohammed embodied every stereotype of the jihadi extremist. From his perch in London, he threw around words like “kafir”— infidel — to describe Christians and Jews, and he openly praised the attackers of Sept. 11. But sitting recently in his new library overlooking the scenic Mount Lebanon in this northern city, with a bloody battle raging at a Palestinian refugee camp a few miles away between the Lebanese Army and Fatah al Islam, a group inspired by Al Qaeda, Mr. Bakri presented himself as a changed man. Whether the shift is as meaningful...

TONY Blair was last night urged to deport Muslim fanatic Omar Bakri Mohammed after the cleric blamed the people of BRITAIN for London’s suicide murders. Twisted Bakri, 45, pinned responsibility for the al-Qaeda Tube and bus bombings on voters who re-elected the Prime Minister last May. He said yesterday: “I blame the British government and I blame the British people. The British people did not make enough effort to stop its government committing atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan.” Syrian-born Bakri’s rant came as The Sun found a taped message in which he called on followers to “sacrifice their lives” and...

IT SAYS its members brought about the conviction of radical Egyptian-born cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, uncovered insurgent tactics in Iraq and are now working to provide intelligence from North Korea.The organisation is not the US Central Intelligence Agency or Britain's MI6 but Vigil, a shadowy network of retired spies, senior military personnel, anti-terrorism specialists and banking experts. The group's director Dominic Whiteman said he set up Vigil with two other businessmen last year to act as an conduit between retired spies who were still party to good, raw intelligence, and the police and security services. "This evidence was just getting...

Exiled Islamic cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed is allegedly using a variety of pseudonyms to broadcast support for terrorism in the UK via the internet, it has been claimed. Bakri, who was banned from the UK last August, apparently praised the July 7 bombers and, in a chatroom conversation, appeared to advocate an attack on Dublin airport, according to an investigation by the BBC. In one recent broadcast, he said the 7/7 suicide bombers were "in paradise", the joint File On 4/Newsnight investigation claimed. He also reportedly said: "How can you condemn those great men - it's not something so bad,...

The man who from safe and agreeably leafy north London suburbia offered his continual support to suicide bombers and refused to condemn the attacks of 9/11 and July 7, all the while ranting against the perfidies of western civilisation and its infidel cockroach minions, now wishes to return to the bosom of Satan as quickly as possible.

EXILED Islamic fanatic Omar Bakri Mohammed made an outrageous bid to flee bombed-out Beirut on a Royal Navy warship yesterday. But the people of Britain told him to go to hell. The Muslim cleric who once preached hate-filled rants against the UK and praised the 9/11 atrocities as "magnificent" begged to be allowed aboard one of the vessels ferrying Britons to safety. His plea, made only a few months after he quit Britain under pressure, fell on deaf ears. But Bakri still had the cheek to complain and wrote to embassy officials in Lebanon pleading to get back to the...

June 9, 2006 -- The Queens chapter of an international jihadist group - founded by the Brooklyn College grad accused of being an al Qaeda sympathizer - is terrorizing people in the extremist's old stomping grounds, residents said yesterday. "They have a lot of hatred [but] the police said they can't do anything about them," Kana Chauhan, president of the Jackson Heights Merchants Association, said of the radical group Al Muhajiroun. The organization is tied to suspected terrorist ally Syed "Fahad" Hashmi, a disciple of Syrian cleric Omar Bakri who was banned from speaking on English college campuses. The Queens-bred...

Half a ton of ammonium nitrate, a fertilizer suitable for making bombs, was seized.</p>

Congrats to all Freepers who took time to write an email to the ISP hosting Al-Muhajiroun.com. One of the most important sites for Al-Qaeda in Europe was forced off the servers at Clara.net and has moved to Germany. Note that the hot-linked image in that posting is now gone. Al-Muhajiroun.com even posted this prominent 'disclaimer' on their website contesting our claim that their upcoming conference "commemorating the Magnificent 19" was in fact a "Celebration of the Murder of 3,000 people". From the Al-Muhajiroun.com website: THE 'MAGNIFICENT 19' CONFERENCE IS NOT A CELEBRATION ... The commemoration of 11th september is to...
