Jihadi Candid Camera

On February 3, a U.K.-based militant faction formerly know as Al-Muhajiroun Helped organize a raucous demonstration outside the Danish, Norwegian and French embassies in London.

NEFA investigaters attended the protest and caught the event on camera.

After entering the website: look at the top for the link to "Prophet Mohammed Cartoon Protest"

FYI-this was the protest where the "Behead Those Who Insult Islam" posters were seen.

Are British Conservatives Weak on Terror?

Wow, I never thought I'd be criticizing the Tories for being weak on terrorism. To their eternal shame they voted against Labour's proposal to outlaw the glorification of terrorism. The opposition claimed that the new law was not needed. But as Robert Spencer rightly points out, "If the existing laws were adequate to the problem, why did Abu Hamza preach unhindered for seven years?" Indeed.

This is not Thatcher's Conservative Party.

Danish Cartoon Protester Sent to Prison in UK

Omar_Khayam_at_london_protest_over_danish_cartoons_dressed_as_suicide_bomber.jpgDoes it surprise anybody that one of the protesters in London that showed up in front of the Danish embassy turned out to be a convicted drug dealer? Omar Khayam is pictured here dressed as a suicide bomber at the now infamous protest in which signs were painted with slogans such as "behead those that insult islam" and "slay those that insult Islam".

British prisons, like their American counterparts, are rife with Islamic extremism. Prisons serve as an ideal recruiting ground for Islamists and jihadis who help 'turn around' the lives of criminals only to direct the convert's energies towards helping build the ummah and creating the ideal Islamic state where future criminals, convicted of the same crimes, can look forward to such punishments as beheading, stoning, and lashings.

Via Jihad Watch this BBC article:

A demonstrator who imitated a suicide bomber in a Muslim protest over cartoons satirising the Prophet Muhammad has been recalled to prison.

Omar Khayam, 22, of Bedford, is a convicted drug dealer who was jailed in 2002 and released on licence last year after serving half his sentence.

He was arrested and recalled to prison for breaching the terms of his licence.

Khayam apologised for his "insensitive" protest on Monday but said he had been offended by the cartoons.

Usually I react to being offended by binging on fast food and ice cream. But, maybe its just a cultural difference.

Omar Bakri Mohammed: "Cartoonists Should Be Executed"

It is no surprise that these words should come from radical exiled cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed. Why no surprise? Because the now infamous rally outside of Denmark's embassy in London--where signs calling for cartoon blasphemers to be beheaded were seen--was staged by al Ghurabaa. This is the group that had previously posted on their website that all those who blaspheme Muhammed should be executed. As we reported here, al Ghurabaa is composed of followers of Omar Bakri Mohammed.

Telegraph:

“The insult has been established now by everybody, Muslim and non-Muslim, and everybody condemns the cartoonist and condemns the cartoon,” he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme. “However, in Islam, God said, and the messenger Mohammed said, whoever insults a prophet, he must be punished and executed. This man should be put on trial and if it is proven to be executed.”

The cleric said Muslims in Britain were not allowed to kill people who insulted Islam because it was against the law of the country.

“We are not saying ourselves to go there and start to look to him and kill him, we are not talking about that. We are talking about Islamic rules. If anybody insults the prophet, he will have to take a punishment.”

He said if countries refused to put people on trial for insulting Mohammed they must “face the consequences”.

So, Omar Bakri Mohammed is making the same arguement I have been making. That the individual Muslim is not necessarily a threat--he is not calling for individual Muslims to kill blasphemers--but rather that when Muslims take over a country and institute sharia law, after you have been convicted of blasphemy in a court of law, off with your head. Thus, the ideology of Islam is what is the larger threat.

Of course, this is a radical version of sharia. But are you comfortable with a moderate version of sharia which might fine you for blasphemy?
