UK: Imam backs terror attack against Blair

“Don’t talk openly, like ‘Tony Blair (is) an open target’. Now you can be taken in for glorifying terrorism."

"Imam backs terror attack against Blair," from the TimesOnline, with thanks to PK:

A RADICAL Muslim who ousted a leading moderate cleric from his mosque on the south coast with a campaign of violence has said he believes Tony Blair is a “legitimate target” for terrorists.

Abubaker Deghayes, who now runs the mosque in Brighton and whose brother Omar is a detainee at Guantanamo Bay, told an undercover reporter that he endorsed the views of George Galloway, the Respect MP, who said an attack on the prime minister by a suicide bomber could be morally justified. Deghayes said he prayed for Allah to support anyone who attacked Blair.

Court documents show Deghayes took over the mosque using violence, intimidation and threats. Dr Abduljalil Sajid, a leading imam and a government adviser on Islam, was forced out as head of the mosque by Deghayes and his supporters.

It is understood Sussex police Special Branch held a number of meetings with Sajid about extremist elements at the site, but no overt action was taken. Sajid, chairman of the Muslim Council for Religious and Racial Harmony, is understood to have raised his concerns about the mosque with Blair.

Police sources have confirmed that in the past extremist literature had been found at the site and that some of those attending the mosque were suspected of having fought as “mercenaries” abroad....

A reporter spent two weeks undercover at the Al-Quds mosque, which is in a detached house in Brighton. On Fridays, it can attract 100-200 worshippers. Deghayes made his extremist views clear while chatting to the reporter. Asked whether he shared Galloway’s view that the prime minister was a legitimate target for suicide bombers, he replied: “Yes, I do, I do.”

In another conversation, Deghayes said: “He is a legitimate target. Him and Bush are part of all that we see now.”

Later asked if he ever prayed for Blair to be attacked by a Muslim, he said: “I pray to Allah to support them. Of course, I know anybody who attacks in the name of Islam, Allah will take care of him.”

Deghayes also said he was unconcerned about British troops being killed in Iraq because the issue was “all clear in international law”. “Under international law anybody who’s been invaded, they are entitled to self-defence,” he said.

“It’s something all countries are signatories to. So what’s happening is an occupation. People in Iraq have every right to liberate themselves.”

But he urged the reporter to be careful with whom he discussed his views for fear of prosecution. Deghayes said: “Don’t talk openly, like ‘Tony Blair (is) an open target’. Now you can be taken in for glorifying terrorism.

“(Even) among Muslim brothers . . . there are hypocrites, munafiqs (hypocrites). There are spies, all sorts of people. There’s no need to talk about it, to say like this.”

Enough of this, governments will have to declare Islam a terror network, than we can get our wish of getting rid of islam from infidel lands.

Theres no western government worth a sh!t,they can now openly threaten our leaders,and they dont do sh!t,its gunna be up to the people.Now as good a time as any,to take back are country's.

Does the Mullah and Galloway realise that the medicine that they hand out may also be administered the them?

If they think it is OK to kill someone because of their views then they should also accept that someone who does not like their views can therefore spread their brains all over the pavement.

Of course should that happen to Mr Abubaker Deghayes or George Galloway there would not be that many brains to clear up!

They have already set out the rules, what they find acceptable to use on other people should not be unacceptable to use on them. Get those names and addresses.

The UK is apparently a lost cause. However, threatening to kill the President of the United States is a crime in the US, punishable by imprisonment.That's been the law for a very long time.

And the reason Galloway and this clown aren't in prison is?

A 1666-ish * Nursery Rhyme just popped into my head.

Tony Blair
doesn't care.
Cut his head off
If you dare.

I wish smart-ass little British kids would tease him with it everywhere he goes.

Or aren't there any left?

The radical mosque in Brighton seems to be the one referenced here http://www.tijarapages.com/details.asp?bid=-389916102 at 150 Dyke Road, Brighton, East Sussex, BN1 5PA

There is at present a campaign in Brighton run by 'well meaning' brightonians to free Omar Deghayes from Guantanamo. http://www.theargus.co.uk/the_argus/news_extra/in_depth/justice_for_omar/news/

I wonder if they will campaign just as hard to close the terror Mosque run by his brother on Dyke Road

Sebastien -- a great link. After reading it, and doing a little poking around, I must ask: Why in the world would the good citizens of Brighton campaign to close that Mosque?

The Argus, and the Imam Deghayes are clearly fighting for social justice. America is the hegemon and must be resisted everywhere. Her every crime, from driving autos, the worshipping of her flag, her addiction to war, her responsibility for global warming, her greed and avarice in conducting business where profits are actually sought, her unilateralism, to incarcerating oppressed freedom fighters in Gitmo are ALL are heinous crimes against humanity. There's no other way but to fight her. The USA is the font of all evil on earth.

Let's wait and see how the project "Justice for Omar" by the righteous people of Brighton, the Argus, and his bruvver Deghayes turns out in the end. Every one wants to know:

Will it prove for once and for all that whiteys aren't racists, that they love Muslim more than they love themselves, that all men can live together in peace and harmony and justice if the correct scapegoats can be found and the proper sounds of appeasement and encouragement can be made?

Or will they have gaping red slits cut in their lilly white necks for embracing the deadest among them?

Interesting link, I also poked around the Argus website. They look like normal people, what is wrong with them that they can't see the Islamic snake in their midst.

I was intrigued the burning crosses in the pictures of Guy Farkus day.

What does it mean?

As a Catholic I was also taken aback by the effigy of the Pope that was burned, is this and attack on Christianity, Catholicism, or just an historical artifact.

Dyke Road cuts straight through the centre of Brighton. If anyone from Brighton reading this would like to do something over this issue, take a look at the map http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Dyke+Road,+Brighton+and+Hove,+BN1,+UK&ie=UTF8&ll=50.830906,-0.140076&spn=0.012984,0.042915&om=1 and start leafleting all the neighbours about the ugly truth about Islam.

Knowing how much the English love to buy and sell their terraced houses every 5 minutes, make sure to mention how the value of property plummets when a terror mosque appears at the end of the street. I don't suppose the retail value of homes around Finsbury Park are much to write home about any more.

Looking at the map, it appears that residents on Goldsmid Road, Compton Avenue, Montpelier Crescent, Vernon Terrace, Melville Road, Clifton Road, Chatham Place and dozens of others will be affected by this.

It is very easy to leaflet in England, as most homes are terraced homes with a letterbox at street level it should be no problem for a couple of individuals to spend a Saturday afternoon informing their neighbours.

Please don't fall into the trap of thinking someone else will do it. For every 1000 people reading this site, there is probably only one indvidual who actually does something. If someone in Brighton is reading this, then that person will have to be you.

Your MP David Lepper http://www.theyworkforyou.com/mp/david_lepper/brighton,_pavilion has a majority of only 5,030 votes. Let him know how you feel.

THINK GLOBAL ACT LOCAL.

As a Catholic I was also taken aback by the effigy of the Pope that was burned, is this and attack on Christianity, Catholicism, or just an historical artifact.

Was that in the town of Lewes? They always do that in Lewes, it's an old tradition. As a Catholic, I don't really care that much; I don't think they mean anything by it.

I'm in favour of Guy Fawkes' Night. It celebrates the foiling of a terrorist plot to destroy the nearest thing we then had to a democratic legislature. I let off fireworks with the best of them.

As the debate rages re whether there even are such things as 'British values', I find more and more I'm rereading Macaulay's History of England, which is really a history of the 1689 revolution. It's good to be reminded of how the English responded to a bunch of powerful people who were so obsessed with their religion that they forgot how to be English ...

Dear Wild Slutty Womens... it sounds like you're in Great Britian. Too bad. We need more wild slutty womens in the United States and I'm not doing anything this evening.... too bad cause I was thinking it could be Guy Fawkes night here too... oh well a guy can dream, can't he? :))

Thank you for the info, WSW. I am all for local traditions and did not take offense.

England needs unity and the events of the past fade away and are overwhelmed by the enormous danger of today.

We are all united as Christians, Catholics, Protestants and Eastern Orthodox ready to save Europe's western civilization!

Isn't it strange that the UK does nothing to suppress the open sedition of Muslim clerics and other Muslim agitators? Is it merely "multiculturalism"? Or is it a pro-Arab, pro-Muslim policy that goes back to the 1920s?

Yep ... the Swedes could still win and then we'd be facing Germany!

Oh ... the other enormous danger. Right.

I tend to believe it's the latter masquerading as the former. But I could just be a cynical Zionist bitch.

Hey, if I ever need another user name, that's it, right there.
