| As much of the world paused Wednesday to mourn the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, a group of Islamic militants praised the ''positive outcomes'' of the violence they claim to reject, and offered support to the aims of Osama bin Laden. 3000 dead is a positive outcome from their point of view... The fundamentalists, in what appeared to be the most radical Muslim gathering on the anniversary of the terrorist atrocities, said al-Qaida had a ''rational justification'' for the attacks, but denied having ties to bin Laden's terror network. "Nope. Nope. Not us..." ''The attack in New York was a counterattack for the attacks in Iraq and Palestine,'' said Muhammad al-Massari, a Saudi dissident who attended the meeting at Finsbury Park Mosque in north London. ''One Muslim decided to take action... He took one eye for a hundred. He still has 99 eyes to go,'' al-Massari added and praised bin Laden as a hero ''fighting for his beliefs.'' Ummm... So are we. And we're better fighters... A dozen or so men with kaffiyehs over their faces stood on the steps of the north London mosque, barring about 50 journalists from entering the building, which is widely regarded as a center of radical Islam in Britain. About what we'd expect... Sheik Omar Bakri Mohammed 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. Oh, yasss... I've always found that the best way to defend against armed aggression has been to kill as many civilians as possible... ''I don't believe in using violence,'' Mohammed told journalists before the meeting. "I'll let the cannon fodder do that..." ''Definitely al-Qaida has got rational justification for what they did on Sept. 11. Maybe I disagree with them, but they have the right to fight back especially after they (the United States) bombed Sudan, then they bombed Afghanistan.'' Yup. Fair's fair, ain't it? So there's no way, by that logic, to deny the U.S. the right to fight back against them fighting back. |

| #2 These 'people' are not Brits. They are muslims who, by the grace of our idiotic immigration policy, happen to find themselves in Britain. Shitheads. To use an oft-used phrase on here and on LGF, "faster please". |
