#1 The Times On Line also carries the story, but there is an annoying registration required.
However the Times carries this extra bit of information the the Guardian censored,
"The pair revealed a visceral antipathy to Jews, evincing an anti-Semitism that, Abu Hakid insisted, was borne out the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with their brother Arabs.
“I don’t know if you have been to Golders Green, it’s full of Jews. We had many chances to go there and kill people. I even had Jewish friends, I could easily have got them home and killed them. I might have got away with it, I might not. But we believe in fighting in the right place.” "

#2 tipper - You comment is another example of the fact that Moslems are not your friend - ever. You may be his friend, but never be so foolish as to think that it's mutual. It's all over the Qu'uran - we ignore this fact at our peril. Your comment made me think of Danny Pearl and how he was so easily fooled because he read the social cues that "told him" he was among rational friendly people, when he was actually amongst killers. We cannot rely upon our social training - assume the worst - the foes now include many who are well-versed in Western ways.

Maybe Abu should join the BNP ;)

Move Abu back to 1938, hed fit in well with Oswald Mosely types.

Yeah, thats happened to Jews before in places were muslims were rarer than hens teeth.

#5 I'm very happy that these guys are being sent out to fight after a mere two weeks using an AK-47. They are sure to be killed, and get their 72 raisins.

#6 "They were wrong to come to our country."

"That is terrorism, this is defending your country."

Funny, I don't recall us invading Britain...

#7 Raj - We did, back in WWII (sort of). At least a lot of the Brits felt all our troops plunked down on their island was an "invasion" of sorts. I believe they used to say something to the effect that the only thing wrong the Americans was they were "overpaid, oversexed, and over here." :-p

(guess 2 out of 3 still apply!)

I love the Brits (not including the assholes in this story), but I wish they would rise up and take their country back from the LLL.

#8 Hey Barb, these guys aren't Brits. If they were they would be supporting the government of Britain, not fighting against it.

#9 B, lemmings is right. At least they are helping the economy of the west, since it cost them money to travel to thier death, and saves us looking for them.

#10 Whatever the other faults of our Iraqi plan, it has certainly succeeded as jihadi flypaper.

#12 On the bright side, at least Britain has figured out how to export instead of import. So long as they funnel these untrained Islamist rotters into one or another kill zone, its better than seeing Britain fall under Sharia law. But only barely.

#13 "Neither would give his name, but the elder, a confident 23-year-old, used the nomme de guerre Abu Haqid (father of fury)... The younger, quieter man - his 21-year-old nephew -called himself Abu Turab (father of dust, the connotation of death)."

Is it just me or do these names sound like they should be TM'd by Marvel Comics?

#14 remote man: I agree they're not. Though they should be (if they had an ounce of brains):
their families took them to England as children. They went to school and college in the capital, picked up strong London accents and British passports
They had freedom handed to them on a silver platter, and they happily piss it all away.

I know the article says they were born in Iraq, but they act like closet Paleos. But then, Paleo isn't a nationality, it's a state of mind.
