UK terror suspect in two suicide bids

Doesn't he know that the Qur'an forbids suicide? From the Times Online, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:

A terror suspect accused of breaching his control order has made two attempts to take his own life since being put back behind bars, it emerged today.

Mahmoud Suliman Ahmed Abu Rideh, 33, was sent back to jail last week after allegedly failing to comply with "any of the obligations" imposed by the order, "without reasonable excuse".

He is thought to be the first person accused of breaching one of the controversial new orders, which were imposed in March under The Prevention of Terrorism Act 2005 after the Law Lords ruled that holding foreign suspects without trial in Belmarsh prison was illegal and discriminatory.

Rideh, a father of five who was born in Jordan, pleaded not guilty to the charge when he appeared before Bow Street Magistrates in central London today.

He is alleged to have told his liaison officer that he was not prepared to comply with the tagging conditions of the order which required him to wear an electronic tag.

Rideh, who had been receiving hospital treatment, was charged with breaching the order and sent back to a conventional prison last Wednesday.

His solicitor is the "radical lawyer" Ms Gareth Peirce of Birnberg Peirce & Partners (her real name apparently is Jean but she no longer uses it) See this Guardian profile as featured in the Muslim News http://www.muslimnews.co.uk/news/news.php?article=8707
She acted for the Guantanamo Bay detainees and the defendants aquitted of involvement in the recent Ricin Plot.

In her earlier career she acted for various IRA defendants.

And who is paying for his lawyer,who is supporting his children,How much does it cost to keep him in jail?

Shiva:
Thanks for exposing the troll 1a678!

"Shiva:
Thanks for exposing the troll 1a678!"

I asked him (ia69) on Monday if he was a Four Tops fan, and sang (so to speak) a few lines of Bernadette (Sweet Bernadette) to him but he reckoned he had never heard of them! Still he is only 25 years old. Ahem!

Meanwhile to answer Shiva's questions.
1 The British Taxpaper (including me)via Legal Aid
2 Ditto but via Social Security
3 Rather a lot.

"Thanks for exposing the troll 1a678!"

Who, are you referring to me old chap. Shiva has not exposed anything, I am a moderate Muslim fighting Wahabi/Salafi Islam in the UK. Shiva suggests that because I post pictures of lions of FFI, I am an extremist!!! Shiva do you have a fear of lions?

Oh Shiva, you did expose one thing. Your irrational hatred for all Muslims and Islam. You know nothing about Islam, absolutely nothing.

Shiva wrote on FFI:
muzi
If you dont like my comment muzi thats your problem for choosing to be a muslim.I have explained to you very clearly why I use the the word.If you and your co-religionists choose to be associated with the nazi,s,and the extermiation of the jews and any body else that does not submit to islam, what else can you expect.
If you want to me stop referring you to nazi/muzi,this is what you would have to do
Denounce on this site and JW/DW,Islam and retract your quotes Slandering mr Spencer and Ali Sina,then denounce Islam on as many Islamic forums as possible,and post the links here.Then I will drop the term MUZI and will show respect. Do this and you truelly will be a liom of god,and not a zombie of allah

He has used lies against me, I have nothing against Jews, I am not Anti-Semitic. I have never ever supported a terrorist attack, I am against all forms of terrorism and will do all I can to combat this threat in the UK and Worldwide.

"As nobody here or at JW/DW has condenmed me for using the the term muzi,I take this as an endorsement to continue using the term."

The first 4 words in the quote he uses with each post are:

Be kind. Be compassionate.

What a hypocrite.

"I asked him (ia69) on Monday if he was a Four Tops fan, and sang (so to speak) a few lines of Bernadette (Sweet Bernadette) to him but he reckoned he had never heard of them! Still he is only 25 years old. Ahem!"

I haven't heard of them. Are they any good?

I'm 20 by the way.

I won't be able to post as much now, I am a lot busier these days. Got quite a bit of work to catch up on.

They were probably one of the best Motown bands to come out of Detroit in the late 50s early 60s. Go onto Amazon and try a sample.

Yes. Ia will do all he can to combat terrorism, providing he ever figures out what that is...

"Hmmm. Islamic guy blows self up...nope, can't be terrorism...islamic guy beats wife...no, not international enough...islamics oppress minorities...no, emotional terrorism doesn't count..."

We'll be waiting.

Shive, thanks again for exposing the anti-Semitic troll. They tend to cringe in sunlight; unsurprising that he backpedals now.

Geoff

And Allah knows least.

Do you know if there is a UK equivalent of jihad watch?

"Shive, thanks again for exposing the anti-Semitic troll. They tend to cringe in sunlight; unsurprising that he backpedals now."

Geoff, why are you spreading lies about me behind my back. Why do you do this.

Geoff, your irrational fear of Muslims and Islam has caused you to come to unreasonable conclusions. Shiva used abusive language against me, yet you thank Shiva for exposing me. I said nothing bad about the Jewish people yet you call me anti-Semitic. Geoff why do you keep saying this, these are outright lies.

I expect an apology from you. I have said many times I have no hate or anger at the Jewish people. I questioned the legitimacy of Israel according to Jewish Law, this is a legitimate question, this does not make me anti-Semitic. I said they did have a right to a homeland. I said that both the Israelis and Palestinians should fight their own extremists and try harder for peace. I think that both the Jews and Arabs can share the land. Your comments about me being Anti-Semitic are unacceptable. I am getting tired of hearing this.

I await your apology.

Do you know if there is a UK equivalent of jihad watch?

I have not yet come across one, which is why I read and post here. If you hear of one, let everybody here know.
The blog Harry's Place. Is that UK based does anyone know?

I await your apology.

Rut roh, Geoff... better watch yer neck! ...And your IP address!

Dear Ia,

I almost wrote something else more apropos, but instead I'll confine myself to this:

I have no irrational fear of islam, and certainly not of muslims - I went out with a muslim girl for some time, her father eventually turning off that tap (silly kuffir me, I suppose). I have serious doubts, reinforced every time I talk with you on the Ia account, or the Bernard one, or the "Berny" one, about islam, sharia, islamic theology and the 'peaceful' nature of the religion. There is, of course, nothing you can do to force me to believe otherwise; you would be better to move your logic than try to move unearned compassion towards yourself or your dubious ideology. Also, as you're reading this right now, it's hardly "behind your back", which is laughable at best, da'wa at its most probable.

You refuse to refute the Protocols of Zion, claiming ignorance (which, in a way, is almost believable, but not really) on your "Ia" account, and on your 'Barnyard' Bernard account you actually PROMOTE them. There is no world Jewish conspiracy, you slobbering idiot, and if there were, I'd be extremely doubtful if you personally were able to uncover anything about it.

So, in fact, I expect an apology from you to the Jewish people for pressing on with your lies about them and your feigned ignorance about a subject it seems every other muslim I've ever talked to has heard of (gee whiz!). And if you must persist with your "golly gee, haven't read them, shucks darn, just don't know anything about them, oh me oh my, just don't care about them" predilection, then I bid you go and read them and come back here and say they're utter bullshit, and that there is no worldwide conspiracy, and we'll see how we get on - for, as I can tell, you're deeply, deeply interested in being my friend. I know. It's ok. Don't cry.

Besides, it's we Masons that are going to rule the world anyway. Why fight it?

Sincerely,

Geoff

PS: As for "sharing" the land, that would be kind of hard, since the last time that was tried somebody got invaded by the other "sharers" - I'll give you two tries to guess who, although I predict you'll blow them both. Ah well.

That reminds me - your constant da'wa about me having an "irrational fear" of islam and muslims is unacceptable. I've presented legitimate concerns and commentary throughout, while you labelled me a 'hater' with your very first words here, then claimed victory in the debate and ran away. I had to chase you down; you didn't even let a friend know where you were going! For shame.

For that, and the "islamophobia" thing, I await your apology.

Geoff

If you keep staying up so late posting on here until well into the night you are going to fail those exams.

And if you don't get your NVQ, or whatever young people take these days, your parents won't be able to get you the pretty little wife with the big dowry.
