London Man Charged With Helping Alleged Bomber Evade Arrest

Another British jihadist. "Man charged over failed bombings," from the BBC, :

A 27-year-old man has been charged in connection with the alleged attempted bombings in London on 21 July.

Muhedin Ali, of Chesterton Road, west London, is accused of assisting one of the suspects in the attempted bombings, Hussain Osman, to evade arrest.

He is also charged with failing to disclose information about Mr Osman, and will appear before magistrates in central London on Saturday.

The failed attacks took place two weeks after suicide bombers killed 52 people.

As Jimmy would say, "...at least they (the murdering butchers of islam) are not corrupt."

This is OT but the BBC pro-Islam censor has just struck again on the Have Your Say on Holocaust Memorial Day.

"What are your thoughts for Holocaust Memorial Day? Should there a be a commemoration day for all victims of genocide? If you are Muslim, do you support a boycott? Send us your comments." My italics.
Most of the comments have been critical of the MCB for their boycott. Until an hour ago the most recommended comment (60+) asked them what they would like commemorated and suggested that various massacres committed by Islam would not be to their liking either. That comment has just vanished. There are plenty of others criticising anti-semitism and which remind the reader of the Armenian genocide. How long they will remain is anyones guess.

Granny, thank you very much for the link. I cannot express my contempt and revulsion for MCB for yet again their "holocaust denial", which it is as the scale and circumstances and perpetrators of Shoah make it an apocalypse not comparable to any other in the history. Full stop. The Polish soil is soaked (by no means responsibility of us) with Jewish blood, our daily bread grows out of their ashes, it is massive grave over massive grave that we have to tread on every day. The very thought of this makes me weep and dispair over the inhumane cruelty of people to people. It was genocide, ethnic extermination that wiped out the whole civilisation of Ashkenazi Jews ourt of existence.
As a Pole born only 100 kilometers away from Auschwitz and taken on school trips there over and over again I can image only one reaction to any attempt to diminish or denigate Holocaust - a punch in the face and a bloody one!

Polish Infideless:

Not to make light, but there are still a few of us Ashkenazim left, although yes, very, very few of my relatives who didn't leave Poland prior to WW II survived. And life there was very brutal for the Polish peasant classes in the period leading up to the Nazi invasion.

Waterdragon52, are ther more than 52 of you left, mythological creatures ;-)? But seriously I am very happy that not all of you have perished and we still have a few left in Poland (and it is not only such legends like Dr. Marek Edelman, one of my heroes, but a flourishing new generation of Polish Jews, the reason for my great joy and hope! More and more of bar and bat mitzvas in Warsaw and Cracow's synagogues! Mazeltov! Long live Polish Jews!), but if you think about the hunderds of periodicals printed in Yiddish, the numerous writers of Yiddish (to name just the most famous ones like Aleykhem, Ash, Peretz - sorry i do not know the official English spelling of their names), the villages where you could hear Yoddish (in fact the second official language in Poland) and hardly any Polish, the vibrant Ashkenazi culture of the 10% of the Polish population then you wil realize that it seems like Atlantis, a mythical land we can only try to reconstuct like archeologists nowadays. Gone forever, never to enrich the melting pot of Polish-Lithuanian Duchy, wher various groups coexisted peacefully and contributed so much to the Polish heritage, and Jews were one of the greatest contributors. Not to mention those polonised, assimilated with Haskala's roots, whom we owe so much. Do you know that every Polish child learns his/her language from the poetry of 2 Polish-Jewish writers for children - Julian Tuwin and Jan Brzechwa (real name Lesman)? Every Polish child recites their poems, generation after generation till the end of the world! I will send you some links (in English)in a few minutes (so please come back) in case you can be bothered to visit them at your leisure - it is worth it - you would never guess how many of you, how much of your heritage is alive in my country.

Polish Infideless
I will follow those links later this morning when I get back - I have an audience for children's poetry.
Meanwhile my condolences on the deaths in Katowice, it's a terrible accident to happen, a bad business.

I know Chesterton Road well. Apart from being close to Portobello Road, it was where the love of my life used to live, and that makes it something very much like holy ground for me. I loathe the very thought of one of these creatures in its whitewashed Victorian stones.

Granny Weatherwax | January 29, 2006 8:36 AM

Yes, it's not pleasant when a place you hold dear acquires such unpleasant associations.

Polish infideless | January 29, 2006 12:41 PM

Granny, I hope the poetry session kept your mind off the grim prospect of islamized Europe...
Thank you for the condolences. In fact the place where it happened is my home town. I am sure you will find those links very interesting - I will try to chase up waterdragon52 to show off ;-)

Granny Weatherwax | January 29, 2006 2:55 PM

I can't find any English translations of the poetry yet, but there is interesting information about the poets. Our children's future, for me, is what this is all about. And as more people need to realise what we would lose under Islam, all the more reason to celebrate how much culture we do have. That's not a well constructed sentence but it made sense before it left my brain.
As Katowice is your home town you must be very worried.
