Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels
2004-09-06
The London daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reported that the extremist Islamic movement Al-Muhajiroun had announced a convention in London, titled "The Choice is in Your Hands: Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels," to mark the third anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The organization had planned a similar anniversary event a year ago, called "The Magnificent 19 [Suicide Attackers]," but had cancelled it at the last minute. The following is a summary of the report: [1]

Al-Muhajiroun leader Omar Bakri, a Syrian residing in London, told the paper by phone that the convention would feature Al-Qa'ida "surprises," with the screening of a never-before-shown video. He said that the convention will focus on "the anniversary of the division of the world into two great camps — the camp of faith and the camp of unbelief," and would take place September 11, 2004 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Bakri added: "On this day, we will talk about the ramifications of these [9/11] operations for Afghanistan and Iraq
 We want the world to remember this operation 
 that lifted the head of the [Muslim] nation." Bakri called 9/11 "a cry of Jihad against unbelief and oppression," and said that the aim of remembering it is to "revive the commandment of Jihad among the youth of the [Muslim] nation."

#10  I'll take "With the Infidels" for $1,000, Alex.

Bakri's name should appear alongside al Qaradawi, abu Hamza, Arafat, Nasrallah, Bakir Bashir and al Sadr on a wetworks list. While bombing the convention location is a bit much, the British police should identify, fingerprint and photograph every single attendee or staff member at the conference.

Now, about hoping for an accidental building collapse due to an earthquake ...

#5  "Either You’re with the Muslims or with the Infidels"--How does this work in Sudan?

#4  Suggested title change:
"Either You're with the Civilized World or the Muslims." Baby killing bastards!

#3  If this doesn't qualify as "hate speech", or even the much more genteel "incitement to violence" laws, then it should be legal to call minorities in London what they *used* to call minorities.
If nothing else, they should slap everyone who attends with an Anti-Social Behavior Order, known popularly as the ASBO, already widely used for every other form of public obnoxiousness.

#1  Is there anyone out there who would cry if MI5 arranged for Bakri to have an "accident?"
