Abu Hamza trial update from The Washington Post, .
LONDON, July 9 -- On the morning after bombs ripped through the London Underground and crumpled a double-decker bus, four security guards escorted a one-eyed, Egyptian-born cleric, his arms amputated below the elbows from Afghan war injuries, onto the elevated dock of Courtroom No. 1 in Old Bailey, the capital's principal criminal court.Abu Hamza Masri, for years a blood-curdling preacher at a North London mosque allegedly visited by shoe bomber Richard Reid and hijacker trainee Zacarias Moussaoui, listened silently Friday as his lawyer argued about his indictment last January on nine counts of incitement to murder for speeches that allegedly promoted mass violence against non-Muslims. In one speech cited in a British documentary film, Masri urged followers to get an infidel "and crush his head in your arms, so you can wring his throat. Forget wasting a bullet, cut them in half!"
Masri's case is just one of several dozen that describe the venom, sprawling shape and deep history of al Qaeda and related extremist groups in London. Osama bin Laden opened a political and media office here as far back as 1994; it closed four years later when his local lieutenant, Khalid Fawwaz, was arrested for aiding al Qaeda's attack on two U.S. embassies in Africa.
As bin Laden's ideology of making war on the West spread in the years before Sept. 11, 2001, London became "the Star Wars bar scene" for Islamic radicals, as former White House counterterrorism official Steven Simon called it, attracting a polyglot group of intellectuals, preachers, financiers, arms traders, technology specialists, forgers, travel organizers and foot soldiers.
Today, al Qaeda and its offshoots retain broader connections to London than to any other city in Europe, according to evidence from terrorist prosecutions. Evidence shows at least a supporting connection to London groups or individuals in many of the al Qaeda-related attacks of the past seven years. Among them are the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania; the assassination of Afghan militia leader Ahmed Shah Massoud on Sept. 9, 2001; outer rings of the Sept. 11 conspiracy, involving Moussaoui and the surveillance of financial targets in Washington and New York; Reid's attempted shoe bomb attack in December 2001; and the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in 2002...
Masri urged followers to get an infidel "and crush his head in your arms, so you can wring his throat. Forget wasting a bullet, cut them in half!"
Lovely. They state this, as bold as can be, out in the open, in documentaries for all to see, and we do nothing! God, we are so stupid. They don't hide their hatred, yet we refuse to see, refuse to believe. Rather, swallowing the lies about Islam is Peace, blah blah blah. I suppose the alternative, the reality, is too hard to acknowledge, too frightening perhaps. They're here, amongst us, in huge numbers, so we just smile and nod, and walk away, hoping this is just a bunch of hot air. But it's not. It's real.
Take the above quote and change it around a bit:
"get a Muslim and crush his head in your arms, so you can wring his throat. Forget wasting a bullet, cut them in half!"
This would get you in a lot of hot water, in most countries. A hate crime, no doubt. Yet they say it all the time, and we blissfully ignore it. What is wrong with our world?
Ummmmmm...
Nobody really expects Blair the Appeaser, or the (W)ahabbster to do anything about genocidal, arab, muslim, terrorists killing innocent citizens do they?
Blair just allocated *B*illions to the filthy Jew-killing, non-people "palestinians" and the (W)ahabbster is giving them their own state as a reward for years of genocide against the Jews.
News for Blair the Appeaser and the Wahabbster and their respective countries: You are both about to suffer cataclysmic punishments - delivered by the Satanic Cult of Death.
It's coming and it's going to be excruciating.
Hamsa, that steaming pile of ugly Sh** has cost the British tax payer 10s if not 100s of thousands, not including the mosque they built for him in the prison grounds, or his new £5000 hook. Reward for spewing his murderous hate on our streets
If our people had one ounce of savvy he would have had a fatal accident, or have been found hanged by his bed sheet in his cell. Suicide, of course!
I hope his bloody toe nails grow through the soles of his feet and perform a frontal lobotomy.. That'll shut the freak up !!!!
I'm absolutely disgusted at our governments for knowingly giving asylum to murderous scum like him.
It should have been Gleneagles not the tube and bus.
Good grief I sound like Galloway .. agggh
Tabari IX:69 “Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us.”
Qur’an 33:60 “Truly, if the Hypocrites stir up sedition, if the agitators in the City do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them and set you over them. Then they will not be able to stay as your neighbors for any length of time. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy—a fierce slaughter—murdered, a horrible murdering.”
[BBWWWWHHAHAHAHA!]
Dr. evil laugh seems apropriate after that sura.
If the UK manages to crack down on 'fundamentalists", they will just move to the other colony, Canada. It's almost as bad there with stupid hate crime laws, and PC censorship.
True Brit,
"not including the mosque they built for him in the prison grounds"
Do you have a link about this? I'd be interested, thanks.
metaxy.
I can't remember exactly where I first read about the mosque, it was either the Telegraph, Times, or similar but I have managed to find this

Sorry metaxy... it's mentioned at the 5th link down the page the Daniel Pipes blog

I find it hard to believe that any civilized country is as PC as Canada.
