| WND : More London bombings on way, warns Muslim |

| UK Islamist leader claims Brits ready to carry out 'many attacks' By Aaron Klein JERUSALEM – The thwarted car bombings in London last week and the terror attack this weekend against Scotland's busiest airport were "completely justified" and likely the beginning of many more attacks in Britain, a prominent UK Islamist leader connected to terror supporting groups told WND yesterday. "There is no doubt whatsoever that there will continue to be attacks against the British government, its interests and the home front as long as we see the continued British and American occupation of Muslim land in Iraq and Afghanistan, support for criminal Israel, and draconian measures taken against Muslims in the UK," said Anjem Choudary, founder and former chief of two Islamic groups disbanded by the British authorities under antiterror legislation. "A war is being waged against Muslims on every level. There are many in Britain who take their ideology from Osama bin Laden and al-Qaida and are ready to carry out many more attacks," Choudary said. Choudary said the attempted terror attacks the past few days were "probably carried out by local British Muslims." Choudary currently presents himself as an Islamic lecturer and a leader of Britain's Shariah Islamic court. He is a founder and former chief of Al Muhajiroun, a British group that sought to impose an Islamic state on the UK and that was allied with the goals of al-Qaida. Al Muhajiroun, officially disbanded by the British government citing antiterrorism laws in 2004, and its main leader, Omar Bakri Muhammad, were banned from the UK in 2005. Choudary then became a leader of Al Ghurabaa, which was reportedly a continuation of Al Muhajiroun. Al Ghurabaa was banned in 2006 by the UK for reportedly supporting terrorism. Former Al Muhajiroun members led by Choudary reportedly continue their activism at public protests and on Internet forums under a new banner group called Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah. Choudary last weekend led a protest outside London's Central Mosque attended by WND and Talk Radio Network's "The Rusty Humphries Show." The protest called for the downfall of the British government for offering knighthood to novelist and essayist Salman Rushdie, who was accused by Muslims of defaming Islam and Muhammad in his 1998 book "The Satanic Verses." Depictions of British flags were burned at Choudary's protest. Ralliers chanted, "Down with Britain, down with the Queen." Choudary told WND the perpetuators of the attempted terror attacks in London the past few days "have their own justifications for carrying out their plans." "Muslims in Britain are under siege. There has been unjustified internment, innocent Muslims are in prison, extradition laws have been applied for made up crimes, individuals are arbitrarily arrested. ... Don't be surprised when Muslims fight back," he said. "Resistance™!" |

| #10 I pray somebody w/some gumption would handle this guy - prolly save a bunch of lives in the long run. I have no faith that any western gov't will - I'd love to be proven wrong though. Wonder what would happen if this drooler said some sh*t like this in the former USSR - think the ruskies wouldn't handle business? |

| #8 It is rare to see a hardcore Islamist in the West not dissimulating about their collective mindset and intentions. I hope that Choudary's words wake up the public to the danger they pose and that appropriate measures are taken, starting with Excalibur's in post #3. |

| #6 Wonder if he's any kin to the Paki chief justice that Perv sacked. They sound alike in their philosophy. This piece of fecal matter needs to just disappear, without a trace or a shred of a clue. That would do far more to "send a message" to the rest than anything else the Brits could do. |

| #5 Exactly, Rob. He seems like a prime candidate for re-patriation to whatever benighted hell-hole he crawled out of. If they whack his ass so much the better, in my opinion. |

| #4 Choudary said the attempted terror attacks the past few days were "probably carried out by local British Muslims." No they weren't. Not that it makes much difference - one 7th century mouth-breather is pretty much the same as the next. |

| #3 If these statements cannot lead to sedition charges then nothing will. He should be tried, convicted and burned to death. |
