| London's a terror haven. Wotta surprise. | |

| "Osama bin Laden is a good man. Osama bin Laden wants the same as me -- he wants to see the implementation of God's law," says Khalid Kelly as he sips coffee in a sun-filled London cafe and expounds on his allegiance to the man who has declared war on the West. Kelly, an Irishman, converted to Islam two years ago while imprisoned in Saudi Arabia for distilling and selling alcohol. Since then, he has become the public face of the tiny London-based organization called Al-Muhajiroun. The radical organization is led by Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, who has long been linked to bin Laden's International Islamic Front for Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders. The presence of militants like Bakri has earned the British capital the sobriquet "Londonistan" among diplomats and terrorism experts, who see London as a worldwide center of Islamic terrorism. "The Islamists use Britain as a propaganda base but wouldn't do anything to a country that harbors them and gives them freedom of speech," Camille Tawil, a terrorism expert at the Arabic daily Al Hayat, told the New Statesman magazine.

| #3 I HEARD THIS HEAD CASE TALKING ON THE RADIO THE OTHER DAY AND I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE ASKED HIM TO JUSTIFY THE ETHNIC CLEANSING OF THE POPULATION OF DARFUR. IS THERE ANY WAY HE COULD BE ASKED? |

| #2 Does anyone think that the first order of business in Britain should be tearing down the Finsbury Park mosque? Tear it down and replace it with a rib-and-beer joint that features topless dancers. |

| #1 Does anyone think that the first order of business in Britain should be tearing down the Finsbury Park mosque? It would be a good demonstration of just how seriously they are taking this threat. The end of this article contains the real gem, though: Despite the support network offered by al-Muhajiroun, Kelly says he hates life in free-wheeling Britain and wants "to go to an Islamic country to live a pious Islamic life." He thinks al Qaeda’s efforts to drive foreigners out of Saudi Arabia could open up new opportunities there ... "It would probably be easy for me to get a job there," he said. "But I’m white, so they might kill me, too." Great going their jihadito, you really wax persuasive with this bit of a corker: "Before, I didn’t know how I was supposed to feel about alcohol, about women walking in the street half-naked, about homosexuality and pedophilia, but now I know," he said. "Now, I have all the answers." Let's put 2+2 together here: "Now, I have all the answers ... But I’m white, so they might kill me, too." Tell you what, Khalid Kelly, f&%k off and die with your "Osama bin Laden is a good man." bullsh!t, and while you're at it, go back to your sacred Saudi Arabia so they can chop off your vacuous cranium before it implodes from the pressure differential. |
