50 Britons ‘Ready’ To Stage Bomb Attacks In Israel
2003-05-04
As British security agencies are facing a nightmarish new threat in the wake of last week's self-bombing in Israel by two Britons in Israel, a leading Islamic leader said on Sunday, May 4, there are still other 50 ready to stage similar attacks. "The number is getting close to 50," said Hassan Butt, who in the past has spoken on behalf of al-Muhajiroun, who was described by The Sunday Times as a leading Islamic cleric.
Hassan's a "leading Islamic cleric"? A year ago he was a 22-year-old terrorist recruiter. I guess it doesn't take much to be a "leading Islamic cleric."
Butt said he believed "about 20" of them "were absolutely serious" about blowing themselves up in Israel. British anti-terrorist police have arrested six people in relation to last week's bomb attack in Israel in which one British Muslim rammed himself into a Tel Aviv night club, killing three people and injuring dozen others while the other would-be bomber was on the run after as his explosive belt failed to set off.
This is a very interesting case, and very significant. Muhajiroun is a feeder for al-Qaeda, recruiting Brit jihadis as cannon fodder for Afghanistan and Chechnya. Hassan, despite his callow youth, has been their most visible recruiter since before 9-11, claiming in October, 2001, to have sent a thousand Brits to Afghanistan. Irsael earlier accused Qaeda of becoming active in Gaza, causing Yasser to bare his teeth — an unappetizing sight, indeed. This would seem to close the terror circle, affiliating a Qaeda front with Hezbollah in Syria and al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Islamic Jihad in Paleostine.

#4  You are right, Al-Aska.

But not just the Israelis. Every western nation should be taking out the Islamofasist mullahs preaching violence. Deporting them/stripping them of the right to preach.

The problem is we run into a wall of lefties screaming 'freedom of speech' and 'racists' and
'stop attacking Islam the religion of peace'.

Perhaps the Israeli policy of assassinations should be undertaken in the west but very quietly.

Take the ringleaders out of circulation.

Ie: they just go missing or have an accident.

I really see no other solution, you cannot change their minds/reason with them and they WILL incite their followers to murder. Without the clerics the cannonfodder can't and won't act.

without absolution they will not be going to heaven and they will not be martyrs. so the priesthood is the heart of the problem.

like a snake: cut off the head and the body will die.

#3  Israel has the right idea. They take out the leadership. Shieks, clerics, muftis and smuftis who preach this type of hateful statements calling for our (normal infidel types) destruction are the enemy and should be fair game for surgical strikes on them. They get their proxies to do their duty work, so we interrupt the chain. Just like we are doing with Al and the Quedas.
