Saddam Loves Palestine

Here is the text of a letter which Saddam Hussein purportedly sent to a Jordanian via the International Committee of the Red Cross earlier this week, as translated from the Arabic ....

My greetings to the Arab people of brotherly Jordan and to whoever asks about us in our dignified and glorified nation; my soul and my existence is to be sacrificed for our precious Palestine and our beloved, patient and suffering Iraq.

Life is meaningless without the considerations of faith, love and inherited history in our nation.

It is not much for a man to support his nation with his soul and all he commands because it deserves it since it has given us life in the name of God and allowed us to inherit the best.

My brother, love your people, love Palestine, love your nation, long live Palestine.

Awwwwww. Don’t you feel sad for this poor little fellow? He’s just a poor, down-on-his-luck, mass-murdering dictator and nobody understands him .. but he has love in his heart. Ain’t that sweet?

Venom: In Their Own words

The liberals in our midst are constantly harassing us with the “maybe we deserved 9/11” and “why don’t we try to understand the terrorists” and most recently, Cindy Sheehan’s “Bush is a f**king liar and this war is bulls**t” lines of thought. Now, I know most of the readers here are intelligent enough to understand that all of this is pure crap invented to shuffle the blame for the current state of nihilism and destruction around the world coming from Muslim extremists. Not being privy to the Liberals’ thought processes, I cannot say for sure why they’re pushing this agenda for it is destructive of everything we all believe in.

Regardless, I think it is informative for us to ask “why are the Muslim extremists so angry at us” and “what do they want”. Personally, I think a bullet in their head would solve the whole thing and we could get on with our lives. Until then though, here is a very informative letter of intent from the Islamic Renewal Organization ....

Today, the Islamic Nation has no succession, no country, no dominance, and no land. It is taken up by the infidel and the apostate, and its people are ruled by unbelieving tyrants with positive laws and forced establishment. Its land has been divided by the infidel nations with untrue and unjustified borders which were dictated to us by the occupying infidels and [Islamic] leaders who exchanged our religion in atheism and branded our generations as slaves.

As for penetrating the enemy lines and deploying agents among different services, this is permissible as long as it causes harm to the enemy as mentioned by most scholars. It is not permissible to penetrate enemy lines to bring about peaceful coexistence, secured living, and personal interest. By commingling, the nation’s cause will be lost as it was to so many previous generations [who existed among blasphemous nations].

The inevitable obligation of our time is to follow the tradition of the messenger of God—May God’s peace and prayers be upon him—by fighting against the polytheists, apostates, and reviving this obligation and keeping firm to revive the nation’s sovereignty and enablement.

Well, there! That seems to be pretty straightforward. In a nutshell, they want the entire world under Islamic law and they disparage the Arab countries currently “posing” as Islamic rulers.  Note that they also dismiss all possibility of compromise or to even accept dhimmi status of non-Muslims.  Finally, it is very clear that the “lesser jihad” or the fighting jihad is the only acceptable means to the end and that it is an obligation, not a choice.

Under the heading of “they eat their own”, we also have a very informative piece of information from the terrorists regarding the recent kidnapping and murders of two Algerian diplomats (Muslims) in Iraq ....

“In the name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate.

Oh God, guide our aim and keep our feet firm.

Praise be to God, Who elevated Islam with His support, humiliated polytheism with His might, ordained the vicissitudes of affairs with His commandment, lured the infidels with His cunning, and destined the alteration of the days with His justice. Prayers and peace be upon the one through whose sword God raised the guiding light of Islam.

Today, Wednesday, 19 Jumada al-Thani 1426, corresponding to 27 July 2005, your brothers in the military wing of al-Qa’ida [of Jihad] Organization in the Land of the Two Rivers carried out the verdict of the legal court, which based its verdict on God’s command to kill all the polytheists, and also according to the saying of the Prophet, may God’s peace and prayers be upon him, who said, ‘Kill [Muslims] whosoever changes his faith,’ by executing the Chief of the Algerian Mission Ali Bil’arussi, and Izz al-Din Binqadi [referred to later as Balqadi], the diplomatic attache.  These are the emissaries of the State of Algeria, which rules with laws other than God’s, allied itself with the Jews and the Christians, sent those two apostates in support of the US presence in the Land of the Two Rivers, and followed in their footsteps. ‘And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them’ [Koranic verse].

We have seen the world’s reaction that has not settled yet, when we took those two apostates into custody, while no one seemed to pay attention when the crusaders arrested two innocent women in Iraq . Now having seen what the US has done to Muslims in Iraq , shedding blood, violating honor, and raping women. The states of vice speed up the pace and help the US and stand with those enemies of God. We ask, did the tyrant Arab states not boycott Israel , having claimed that Israel occupied fraternal Arab country? So, what is the reason behind the hurry to help the Jews and the Christians in their aggression against the Muslims in the Land of the Two Rivers? The sight of gold in the goldmine does not imply its precious value. The state of Algeria, the Arab Tyrants, the Western states, and the US have all come form the same hole, the hole of hellfire. Some people are calling on us to release those apostates without carrying out God’s verdict; we would like to tell them that no one can intercede to stop [the carrying out of] one of God’s laws. We can never forget what the State of Algeria has committed against the Muslims; bloodshed, killing, and destruction. We will not forget what the diplomatic attache Izz al-Din Balqadi did. He was one of those who participated in the massacres of Al-Rayis and Ibn-Talha, which they falsely attributed to the mujahidin and resulted in hundreds of Algerian Muslim victims. As a reward for his performance, sincerity and dedication to the task at hand, he [the diplomatic attache], along with a number of his aides, was promoted from the rank of lieutenant to the rank of major in the Intelligence Bureau.

We have not forgotten what the tyrant state of Algeria does today, hurting Muslims and launching the war against them, particularly the Salafi Group for the Call and Combat, may God protect them and guide their aim.

Have we not warned you, you enemies of God, not to ally yourselves with the Jews and the Christians, and stand in line with the US and follow their plots? Now, we reiterate that the Land of the Two Rivers is no longer safe for the enemies of God; rather, it is fire that will burn all those who follow blasphemy.

Praise be to God, the ones who captured the two Algerians, captured them from among the police force in the middle of Baghdad . Praise be to God, the members of the brigade that captured them managed to return safely, after God bestowed His victory and enabled them [to complete their task]. None of the members was captured. Praise and thanks be to God.

God is Great, God is Great. Glory be to God, His messenger, and the mujahidin.”

So there you have it! In their own words, posted on Islamic militant websites over the last two weeks. They have no shame, no mercy and no intent other than to kill all Jews and Christians and rule the world under Shar’ia Law. Are you starting to get the picture yet? If your Liberal friends out there still don’t get it, get them to read these madmens’ words above. There is more at US Central Command’s web site and before you (or they) start saying “it’s just military propaganda”, forget it. CENTCOM provides links to the web sites where this trash originated. The US Military didn’t make this stuff up. The terrorists have declared war on western civilization and they don’t care who knows it. They are even using the web to spread their venom. Just remember, the only way to avoid venom is to kill the damned snake carrying it. Preferably with a .45 ACP right between its nasty little eyes.

Saudis Crack Down

It may be a case of “too little too late” but the Saudis are starting to crack down on Al-Qaeda within the kingdom. What I found amusing was the term the Saudis use for the Muslim extremist group: “deviants” .... as if the murderous thugs are just misguided ....

(GUARDIAN - UK)—Saudi Arabia’s security forces killed the regional leader of al-Qaida yesterday in a gun battle in the holy city of Medina, the interior ministry reported last night. Former prison guard Salih al-Awfi, 39, was among up to six militants said to have died during a series of police swoops in Medina and the Saudi capital, Riyadh. According to a government statement, police raided six al-Qaida hideouts in Medina, near the mosque where the Prophet Muhammad was buried, before coming across a seventh house where Awfi and two others were holed up.

Saudi Arabia’s security forces killed the regional leader of al-Qaida yesterday in a gun battle in the holy city of Medina, the interior ministry reported last night. Former prison guard Salih al-Awfi, 39, was among up to six militants said to have died during a series of police swoops in Medina and the Saudi capital, Riyadh. According to a government statement, police raided six al-Qaida hideouts in Medina, near the mosque where the Prophet Muhammad was buried, before coming across a seventh house where Awfi and two others were holed up.

“They [the militants] opened fire heavily on the security forces and pedestrians,” before police returned fire, the statement said. “Investigators were able to prove through verification procedures that one of the two killed is the wanted Salih al-Awfi,” it added. Officials said 10 suspected militants were arrested during the raids in Medina, where the country’s new monarch, King Abdullah, was meeting clerics and tribal leaders. In Riyadh, police raided a flat in al-Massef district early yesterday, triggering a gunfight with militants. Conflicting reports from officials put the number of dead in that raid at either two or four.

After the clashes, police entered the flat and found weapons, explosives and various documents, according to the interior ministry. “Security forces during the early morning stormed a number of places in Riyadh and Medina, where it is suspected some of those affiliated to the deviant group were hiding,” an interior ministry spokesman, General Mansour al-Turki, said in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency. “Deviant” is the usual Saudi term for supporters of al-Qaida.

Although 15 of the 19 hijackers responsible for the September 11 attacks came from Saudi Arabia, the kingdom was reluctant to admit that al-Qaida had a significant presence on its territory. That changed in 2003 when bomb attacks on housing compounds in the capital killed 35 people. Up to that point it also appeared that large numbers of Saudis shared al-Qaida’s general political and religious outlook.

The Saudi authorities have been trying to persuade a once-reluctant public to report suspicious activity, and the latest raids are a sign that their effort is beginning to pay off, Neil Quilliam, an analyst at the security consultants Control Risks said yesterday. “People are now more tuned in to passing on information,” he said. “The public diplomacy campaign is working quite well. “We can expect more raids in the coming months ... Each raid leads to two or three more.”

Awfi is the third head of al-Qaida to be killed in the kingdom in the past 17 months. He was originally number five on the kingdom’s most-wanted list. He was believed to be a cousin of Majed Moqed, one of hijackers aboard the plane that crashed into the Pentagon on September 11 2001. He took over leadership of the group known as “al-Qaida in the Arabian peninsula” in June last year after Abd al-Aziz al-Muqrin, the previous leader, was killed in a gun battle.

In Harm’s Way

Now they’re firing rockets and mortars at US Navy ships from Jordan. Thankfully, no sailors were injured but does anyone still doubt the Muslim extremists would kill all of us if they could ....?

AMMAN, Jordan—Unknown assailants fired at least three missiles from Jordan early Friday, with one narrowly missing a U.S. Navy ship docked at port, an attack that killed a Jordanian soldier. One missile fell close to an airport in neighboring Israel, officials said.

The U.S. Navy’s 5th Fleet, based in Bahrain, said two American amphibious ships were docked in Aqaba when a mortar was fired toward them. The vessels later sailed out of port as a result of the attacks, U.S. Navy spokesman Lt. Cdr. Charlie Brown told The Associated Press in Bahrain.

Jordanian soldier Ahmed Jamal Saleh was fatally wounded when the mortar sailed over one of the U.S. ships and slammed into a warehouse, a Jordanian security official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media. The soldier died in the ambulance taking him to hospital; another Jordanian was also wounded, the official added.

“At approximately 8:44 a.m. local time, a suspected mortar rocket flew over the USS Ashland’s bow and impacted in a warehouse on the pier in the vicinity of the Ashland and USS Kearsage,” Brown said. “The warehouse sustained an approximate 8-foot hole in the roof of the building.” No sailors or Marines were injured in the attack, Brown said.

A Jordanian security official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media, said another missile landed near a Jordanian hospital. The attacks were believed to have been launched from a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Aqaba, a Jordanian Red Sea port 210 miles south of the capital, Amman, officials said.

Almost A Constitution

It looks like the Iraqis have just about completed the first draft of a Constitution. The draft document is ready to be submitted to Parliament for consideration and to resolve two “minor” issues that have held up completion. The two issues left unresolved are (1) women and (2) kurds ....

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP)- August 15, 2005—Iraqi politicians agreed Monday on a draft constitution but decided to put off two key issues - women’s rights and whether Kurds might someday secede - so the document could be submitted to parliament by a midnight deadline, two Shiite officials said.

Two large explosions hit central Baghdad later Monday and could be heard in the convention center in the heavily guarded Green Zone where meetings were being held on the charter.

Nasar al-Rubaie, a member of the committee drafting the constitution, said the document would be handed over to the 275-member National Assembly late Monday for a decision on the two unresolved issues. He said those issues were women’s rights and self-determination, a Kurdish demand for more autonomy and the right to secede someday.

Jalaldin al-Saghir, a Shiite member of parliament, confirmed agreement had been reached but refused to identify the two remaining issues.

“An agreement has been reached on the constitution and it was signed and it will be handed to parliament,” he said. “There are two points that the National Assembly will have to solve.”

Parliament, meanwhile, delayed a session Monday on whether to approve a new constitution by a midnight deadline. It was not clear when the legislators would begin meeting.

Not bad, considering. As anyone who has read The Federalist Papers knows, the US representatives to the Continental Congress who drafted our Consittution had the same problems. The subject of black people (slaves) was shoved under the table and the US paid for it four score and seven years later. As for the women, all I can tell the Iraqis is .... you better give in to the gals now or else. Trust me on that.

Finish this sentence

From the WSJ’s ”Best of the Web

The Scotsman has an explanation for the murder in Iraq of journalist Steven Vincent. See if you can finish this sentence:

An American journalist who was shot dead in Basra last week was executed by Shiite extremists who . . .

. . . had been worn down by grinding poverty?

. . . were angry over Israel’s treatment of Palestinian Arabs?

. . . resented the presence in their country of foreign troops?

. . . sought to avenge the abuses at Abu Ghraib?

If you said any of the above, you’re wrong. Here’s the full sentence:

An American journalist who was shot dead in Basra last week was executed by Shiite extremists who knew he was intending to marry his Muslim interpreter, it has emerged.

That’s right, Steven Vincent was killed to prevent him from intermarrying. Those Westerners who side with the “Iraqi resistance” against America and its allies are defending the equivalent of the murder of Emmett Till.

So, the next time some granola-eating, Birkenstock-wearing, gnat-infested leftie tells you that the reason the Arabs “hate us” is because of [insert grave insult of the day], feel free to kick him in the nuts.

Asshat Of The Day, Part IV

The saga of Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed is now in its sixth day and this radical MOOS-LIM asshat is getting deeper and deeper in Ye Olde Shiite-Hole. The British preacher of radical MOOS-LIM hatred who fled Britain for Lebanon, tried to bluff the British foreign office, was rebuffed and ordered to return has now just about entered the final phase. Britain has now officially banned him from entering the UK and he is under arrest in Lebanon ....

imageimage(BBC)—Radical Islamic preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed has been excluded from the UK. The Home Office said Home Secretary Charles Clarke used existing powers to exclude Mr Mohammed as his presence was “not conducive to the public good”. The cleric is being held by the Lebanese authorities in Beirut, it is believed at the request of Syria.

He was seized after a TV interview in which he said he would not return to Britain as a persona non grata, only as a visitor. The preacher left the UK six days ago on what he described as a holiday to see his mother in Beirut. The self-styled “sheikh” ran the radical al-Muhajiroun group from Tottenham, north London, until it was disbanded last year. He is famous for praising the 9/11 hijackers as the “magnificent 19”.

A Home Office spokesman said the decision to bar Mr Mohammed would not affect his family. He has seven children who were born in Britain. They would continue to receive their State benefits, he said, although those paid to the cleric would cease. Since the 1980s Mr Mohammed had had indefinite leave to remain in the UK after gaining political asylum. He is thought to have dual Syrian and Lebanese nationality.

Regarding his arrest in Beirut, a Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman said there was an official request from the Syrian authorities “to surrender him to the security forces in Syria.” “They say he is a Syrian and has been convicted in Syria for many crimes, and that they need him for those crimes.”

The spokesman said he believed the activities for which Syria wished to see Mr Mohammed extradited were not terrorism-related but to do with “past events in Syria in the 1980s”.

The cleric’s spokesman, Anjem Choudray, described the UK move as “completely outrageous” and a “failure” of the principle of free speech. “He has been a great asset for the Muslim community here. “It is going to be a great loss for the British public and the Muslim community, I believe, and I think that this is indicative of the oppressive nature of the Blair regime.”

But Inayat Bunglawala, from the Muslim Council of Britain, said: “Omar Bakri is unlikely to be missed by the vast majority of British Muslims. “He is someone who for 20 years was given shelter by this country and he has spent almost all that time vilifying this country and its values. “With his often very offensive remarks he has contributed towards the demonisation of British Muslims.”

Stay tuned for Part V, which hopefully will involve a blindfold, a last cigarette and seven riflemen at ten paces ....

Asshat Of The Day, Part III

We continue the ongoing saga of radical Muslim cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed where we left off yesterday. He left Britain, is currently in Lebanon and yesterday said he would come back to Britain in four to six weeks unless told not to come back. Now the British government has made its move in this chess game of international intrigue, telling Bakri that if he fails to return before the end of the month he will be banned ....

(GUARDIAN - UK)—The Islamist preacher Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, who left Britain for Lebanon at the weekend after learning he could face incitement charges, will be banned from returning if he fails to come back before the end of the month. Mr Bakri, the former leader of the Islamist group al-Muhajiroun, said yesterday that he was enjoying a holiday with his mother in Beirut and still hoped to return to London to his family.

The deputy prime minister, John Prescott, urged Mr Bakri to stay away. “I just say ‘enjoy your holiday, make it a long one’,” he said, adding that the preacher, who currently has indefinite leave to remain in Britain, had committed no offence by leaving the country.

The lord chancellor, Lord Falconer, made it clear yesterday that Mr Bakri, and two other radicals, are highly unlikely to face treason charges. In a letter in today’s Guardian, the director of public prosecutions, Ken Macdonald QC, said that discussions with the Metropolitan police had taken place concerning “three Muslim clerics” over “possible offences of solicitation to murder and acts relating to the withholding of information under the Terrorism Act 2000”. There had been no discussion about treason.

Although the home secretary, Charles Clarke, cannot stop Mr Bakri coming back under existing legislation, he would be able to block his entry under the plans announced last Friday to exclude or deport those who preach hate or justify violence. Mr Clarke does not need primary legislation to implement the plan to exclude figures such as Mr Bakri. He can introduce the change under existing immigration rules and is expected to do so swiftly once the two-week consultation period is completed.

The home secretary named Mr Bakri in the Commons on July 20 as one of the two principal targets of his new powers, alongside Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi. This means, in practical terms, that Mr Bakri can expect to be banned from re-entering Britain unless he returns within the next three weeks.

Bakri seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place. I say drop the hammer on his ass and be done with it. The Brits, however, seem to want to toy with this asshat for a while. Perhaps 007 is already closing in on the target?

Under Suspicion

The British have compiled a ”targeted surveillance list” of radical MOOS-LIM clerics ....

LONDON (AP)—Radical Muslim clerics in Britain could find themselves under threat of being prosecuted or expelled under anti-terror measures proposed by Prime Minister Tony Blair. Clerics being closely watched include:

* OMAR BAKRI MOHAMMED: Came to Britain in 1985 after being deported from Saudi Arabia. Founded the now-disbanded radical Islamic group al-Muhajiroun. The group repeatedly came under scrutiny, particularly after the Sept. 11 attacks, which some members praised. Bakri is from Syria, but his wife’s family is Lebanese and he has citizenship in both Syria and Lebanon. He left for Lebanon last weekend but says he hopes to return to Britain.

* ABU IZZADEEN: Describes himself as the spokesman for the Islamic group al-Ghurabaa. British-born and of Jamaican descent. Reportedly converted to Islam at age 17. Has been quoted as saying Britain’s failure to accept a “cease-fire” from Osama bin Laden led to the July 7 attacks in London. Al-Ghurabaa called on Britons not to vote in the last general election.

* OMAR MAHMOUD ABU OMAR: A Palestinian better known as Abu Qatada. Granted political asylum in Britain in 1993. Sentenced in Jordan in absentia for his alleged involvement in a series of explosions and terror plots. Regarded as Osama bin Laden’s spiritual ambassador in Europe and allegedly an inspiration for Sept. 11 hijacker Mohamed Atta. Spent three years in a high security British prison without being charged, under anti-terror powers introduced after the Sept. 11 attacks. Released in March after Britain’s highest court ruled the legislation breached human rights. Electronically tagged and required to live under a curfew. Likely to be deported to Jordan.

* ABU UZAIR: Reportedly a former member of al-Muhajiroun and believed part of its successor organization, the Saviour Sect. Told BBC “Newsnight” that the Sept. 11 attacks were “magnificent.” Says he is a British citizen.

* ABU HAMZA AL-MASRI: Regarded as one of Britain’s most radical clerics. The Egyptian-born preacher—who has one eye and hooks for hands, which he says were lost fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan—was a cleric at Finsbury Park mosque, long a magnet for extremist Muslims. In custody, awaiting trial on charges that include encouraging the murder of Jews and other non-Muslims and using threatening or abusive language. Has pleaded innocent to all charges.

As one of our readers here noted, these are the leaders of SCROTUM (Supreme Council Ruling Over The Unwashed Masses). 007 is on their trail. However, we need a similar list here in the US. My choices are: Teddy Kennedy, Howard Dean, Jane Fonda, John Kerry, Tim Robbins, Michael Moore, etc. Keep ‘em under 24/7 surveillance and deport them at the first hint of sedition. Or just let Felix Leiter and 007 take them out.

Asshat Of The Day, Part II

I recently posted about a radical MOOS-LIM cleric in Britain who has been living on the dole for 20 years while he incited his followers to violence and publicly stated his support for the suicide bombers. In an update today, it seems he fled to Lebanon over the weekend but is threatening to return to Britain in “four to six weeks unless the British government tells him he is unwelcome” ....

LONDON (AP)—A fundamentalist Muslim cleric facing possible treason charges said Tuesday that he left Britain over the weekend and was in Lebanon but planned to return within weeks unless the government says he is unwelcome. Sheik Omar Bakri, the founder and spiritual leader of the now-disbanded radical Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, has been identified by British authorities as one of three radical clerics who could face charges if their public remarks are deemed to have incited terrorism.

Al-Muhajiroun’s successor organizations are to be banned in Britain under new anti-terror laws unveiled last week by Prime Minister Tony Blair to root out Islamic extremists following the July 7 bombings and the failed attacks two weeks later. Officials are also considering reviving an old law that makes it possible to charge with treason those who praise acts of terrorism. Bakri said al-Muhajiroun has ceased activities in Britain.

He told British Broadcasting Corp. radio he had left Britain on Saturday to avoid being used by the government to pressure British Muslims with new measures. Bakri, who has lived in Britain for 20 years, said he traveled to Lebanon and was staying with his mother.

“I’m going to return back after six weeks or four weeks, unless the British government (says) ‘You are not welcome,’” the Syrian-born cleric said. Bakri said he had denounced the July 7 attacks, which killed 56 people, including the four bombers. “I did condemn the bombings taking place and killing innocent people in London, the way I condemn the killing of any innocent people around the world.”

But he insisted he would not inform British police if he knew Muslims were planning an attack. “Islam forbids me to report any Muslim ... to the British police,” Bakri said. “My job (is) to stop him, to hold him with my Muslim brothers even if it costs me my life.”

Bakri made similar remarks after the July 7 attacks and reportedly offered support for insurgents who attack troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. A spokeswoman for Britain’s attorney general said Sunday that prosecutors and police would look at Bakri’s remarks to assess whether he could be charged with treason, incitement to treason, solicitation of murder or incitement to withhold information known to be of use to police.

Memo From M: Have 007 on the next flight to Lebanon. Terminate with extreme prejudice.

Asshat Of The Day Award

Ya gotta hand it to this clown, he has an abundance of chutzpah (even if he ain’t Jewish) ....

imageimage(DAILY MAIL - UK)—An extreme Muslim cleric whose family have been living on benefits in Britain for 20 years says it would not be ‘fair’ to deport him. Speaking after the Prime Minister announced his clampdown, father-of-seven Sheik Omar Bakri said: “I have wives, children, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law. It would be hard on my family if I was deported.”

Since Syrian-born Bakri settled in Britain, he and his extended family have raked in benefits amounting to at least £300,000. He is registered disabled because of an injury to his leg during his childhood, and was recently supplied with a £31,000 Ford Galaxy under the Motability scheme. Bakri, who lives in a £200,000 home in North London, tops up his £250-a-week benefit payments with an extra £50 incapacity allowance.

He has praised the September 11 terrorists as ‘magnificent’, called Israel ‘a cancer’ and said homosexuals should be ‘thrown from Big Ben’. In January, he declared that Britain had become a ‘land of war’, and called on Muslims to unite behind Al Qaeda. He has supported suicide bombings and urged his followers to kill non-Muslims ‘ wherever, whenever’. He also claimed he has no wish to stay in Britain, but his family would suffer if he was deported.

“If they want to change the law and say that people who are here must live within the framework of those rules, then that is fine,” said the 45-year-old cleric. “But they cannot punish people by backdating it for 20 years or so. That is not a smart or fair system. Tony Blair should have charged me years ago if that was the case. He did not because I had done nothing wrong.”

This is one sheet-head who towel is wrapped a wee bit too tightly around his headbone. I say drop him in the channel and tell his sorry ass to start swimming. Fwance could use a few more like him.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
