A HARDLINE Islamist group attempted to book a conference at a Quaker meeting house by disguising itself as a Latin American dance organisation.Hizb-ut-Tahrir, which Tony Blair plans to ban as an extremist organisation, had booked Friends Meeting House in Central London using the name Salsa Bill Publishing House.
The group, which describes itself as a non-violent political party seeking to establish an Islamic state, had called a national conference to be attended by 1,000 followers on Sunday. But the Quakers said yesterday that they had cancelled the booking and refunded the fee because they were unhappy that insufficient details and contact information had been provided.
A Quaker spokeswoman said: “We are a pacifist movement and any group which books with us is expected to follow our guidelines.”
A spokesman for Hizb-ut-Tahrir said the conference had been advertised widely but claimed not to know details of the booking. He said: “I don’t deal with the bookings so to be quite honest I don’t have a clue about it.”
It is not clear now where the conference, entitled Hizb-ut-Tahrir and the Vision of the Caliphate, will take place.
".... held a conference at Friends Meeting House at which 600 people cheered videos of the September 11 atrocities and heard inflammatory speeches. The gathering had been booked as a women’s health conference."
And the handwringing liberals in the UK wonder why people are openly venomous about Islam & all Muslims now?
600 people cheered video's of the 9/11 attacks.
Thats another 600 for your "TO DO" list, Princess Bliar - oh, sorry, your EUrabian socialist mates & your Dhimmi wife won't let you.
No Al Guardian journalists there to "re-interpret" their actions for the masses?
No Al BBCeera documentary crews there to film & "understand" the faithful cheering as good people leapt to their deaths from Tower 2?
And the crying, disgraceful, unbelievable, unfathomable, gut wrenching shame of it all is that we have absolutely no chance of legally banning Hizb-ut-Tahrir in the UK - even if the political will to do it was in place.
Salsa dancers? SALSA DANCERS? I'd really like to have been there when they thought that one up. Who the hell came up with that, and just what was the thought process that lead to it?
"All right now brothers, we need a front for our meeting"
"Something mild, something inoccuous, something with, how you say, some flair and grace."
"How about "BUtchers for Allah", you know, halal butchers?"
"Dumbass, we can't say Allah!"
"We could pass as Cubans, let's call ourselves the "Ricky Ricardo fanclub", waddya think?"
"Who's Ricky Ricardo?"
(sound of crickets)
"WHO'S RICKY RICARDO?"
"Umm, I think he was a dancer, but I wouldn't watch him 'cause it's unislamic"
(Casting suspicious glance) "I worry about you Mustafa, I REALLY worry about you. Okay, let's stick with the dance angle, with dancing forbidden, it's a good cover"
"Can I bring my feather boa?"
'War is deceit' and all means are justified for the jihad fee sabeel Allah. Even if they have to drink wine and eat pork, they'll do it, as long as it helps Islam. Therefore, pretending to be the infidels is the least they can do.
But, regardless, what are all these sacrifices for? All they have to do is go a bit to the east, into the leftist Belgium, where they will get a red carpet reception and will be given the best venue in town to hold their propaganda conference. You know, freedom of speech must be protected at all cost, and I won't surprised if the Belgian government (or any other European government), in its fanatical pursuit of defending this freedom, will grant them an opportunity to disseminate even more hatred against the infidel west.

If Beelzebub can get away with calling itself the angel 'Gabriel' to fool an illiterate in the dunes of Araby, and call itself 'God' or 'al-lah. certainly the Arabs can identify themselves 'salsa dancers.'
It makes perfect sense to me.
It takes two to tango.
The sooner the West ends this p.c. minuet with Islamic fanaticism and calls its what it is - a Death Dance, the faster we can free 1.2 billion sufferers from the Sharia salsa of koranic craziness.
(And DIP.)
I just sent that story in - you beat me to it. It was also published in the London "Evening Standard." LOL, lol, lol. I'm just conjuring up images of mad mullahs boogying to Ricki Martin!
The story's so surreal, you couldn't make it up could you? But I guess we're living in surreal times when people who profess to hate us are rewarded with £200,000 houses and £30,000 cars like Bakri.
S'Allah dancers perhaps?
In some cases, Quaker institutions have allowed their premises to be used for jihad/terrorist purposes. In Ramallah, in late 1992, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine was allowed to use the Friends [that is, Quaker] School there for a meeting. This was reported by Lamia Lahoud in the Jerusalem Post, in December 1992, as I recall.
By the way, Ramallah used to be a Christian village and that's why a Quaker missionary was able to set up a mission there as early as 1869. Recall that the Ottoman govt, following Shari`a law, forbid missionaries to convert Muslims, so the missionaries who went to Muslim countries tried to convert Christians belonging to the Eastern Churches, as well as Jews. When I was there last, about 20 years ago, it was a rather prosperous town with a number of fashionable shops. Today, the Christian proportion in the population has declined even more and Christians are a minority there. It is the capital of the "Palestinian Authority."
