British Muslim computer geek, son of diplomat, revealed as Al Qaeda's top cyber terrorist

Poverty and Ignorance Cause Terrorism Update. This time it's a diplomat's son, a computer expert. From the Daily Mail (thanks to Frank the Great):

A computer nerd from Shepherd's Bush, West London, became al Qaeda's top internet agent, it can be revealed today.

Younes Tsouli, 23, an IT student at a London college, used his top-floor flat in W12 to help Islamist extremists wage a propaganda war against the West.

Under the name Irhabi 007 — combining the James Bond reference with the Arabic for terrorist — he worked with al Qaeda leaders in Iraq and came up with a way to convert often gruesome videos into a form that could be put onto the Web.

Videos he posted included messages from Osama bin Laden and images of the kidnapping and murder of hostages in Iraq such as American Nick Berg.

His capture led to the arrest of several Islamic terrorists around the world, including 17 men in Canada and two in the US.

Associates linked to Tsouli in the UK have also now been detained. His 10-year jail sentence was increased to 16 years last month.

At first intelligence operatives who came across his activities dismissed him as a joke. It was only when anti-terrorist detectives began trawling through files on his computer after his arrest that they realised his true significance.

...ban muslim immigration....let them study in Lahore, Cairo, or Tehran...

well, if you can't trust a diplomat's son, who can you trust?

..."At first intelligence operatives who came across his activities dismissed him as a joke."'

...and the warning signs regarding the 9/11 bombers were largely ignored....

...even the warning signs regarding the Islamic connection in the 1993 twin towers bombing were largely ignored....

do not ignore Islam...Ban it...

Aren't the Brits completely exhausted by the day in and day out confrontations and uncovering of terrorists in their midst? Not to mention the astronomical financial cost.

I'm thinking they need to call in the Orkin man, put one of those big red and white striped tents over the whole Island and fumigate.

And no, Lt. Presley, I don't trust diplomat's sons and neither should you. Way back in 1981 when I was taking a class at Cal State Fullerton with my husband, we were warned about Iranian students who used to drive around in their diplomat dad's cars and slam on the brakes to cause accidents so they could collect the insurance money. It's those same rat you-know-whats who have spawned this generation of cyber psychos. Ain't Islam grand?

We need to place a great divide between us and the islamic world. If moslems stay here, they have to become integrated, no mosques. Islam is clearly incompatible with freedom.
No computer parts, no technology from the West, not a screw, not a nail, nothing from the West.
Let them make computers from sand and oil.

And maybe start a new fashion to keep the lecherous islamists away from western women

When did the arrests of the 17 men happen in Canada? I haven't heard a word about it, talk about keeping things hush hush.....I'd like to know when they were arrested and when they're going to be deported......


Robert, have you considered writing a book on what is happening on U.S. college/university campuses with organizations such as the Muslim Student Association? If you are interested in a co-author for such a book, I'd be interested in conducting the research and writing it with you.

Let me guess ," he was a nice quiet devout muslim,I dont understand how this could happen"

At first intelligence operatives who came across his activities dismissed him as a joke.

That's the perfect description of anti-jihadist activities. No one in the West believes that jihadists mean what they say. The "experts" figure they're just whackos and that it's wrong to give them any credence. Until these "experts" let go of their arrogance and listen to what ordinary people are telling them, we are all in danger.

exsgtbrown,
You talk about banning Islam. So do some ex-Muslims. They speak of it as child abuse. What other religion teaches children to hate others and that it is their right to own everything that is currently in the hands of a non-Muslim and that anyone who doesn't believe as they do has no right to live? Check islamwatch.org for more on the subject. People raised in Islam were told they weren't allowed to question anything about it except if it meant their faith would be deepened.
I fear that this will cause most experts to view Muslims as "brainwashed" and as victims of a 1400 year-long hoax. The Manson gang wasn't forgiven for murdering Sharon Tate just because they were taken in by a con man named Charles Manson, but the children of Mohammed will be. Safety in numbers. It's why Islam won't be banned anytime soon.

well, if you can't trust a diplomat's son, who can you trust?

Uhh.. You mean like Kofi Annan's son for example? I'd rather put my trust in the crackhead around the corner than a diplomat's son. Or his father.

If you can't trust the poloticians here at home then how do you even think of trusting the ones who come here from other countries - exempt from any of our laws?

I'd say they all benefit from legal immunity and it's time to scrap that.

So if they make problems for our diplos in other countries why keep relations with them? Do we really need relations with each and every country in the world?

Let's strengthen ties with the rest of the Civilized World - while there is any left. Let's try and salvage the countries that are worth it.. We don't NEED iranians here at all.

Nor do we need SOWdis.

Syrians, Lebanese... puke...

I'm with exsgrtbrown - ban them all - ban them all to hell! Sorry. I got carried away. I'll just stick with his slogan....

....ban Muslim immigration....

and then send them back to their toxic homeland where they can destroy one another, because I hold out very little hope that they will ever change their evil stripes!!

(gosh - there I go again - it's so hard to be positive when it comes to Islam)

I must say exsgtbrown has been very consistent. I have agreed with him all along. The problem is that diplomats have a special status. They can drive drunk, hit and if they kill they won't get prosecuted. They won't get prosecuted for anything bad they do. I am surprised that this kid was nabbed.

I am glad that they are not treating the diplomats the same when it applies to terrorism. Now they need to do something when they do other agregious crimes.

The well-off son of a diplomat, not among the los-de-abajo dispossessed and damnes de la terre. Well, one more thing to require Pape to put in his pipe, and smoke it.

I totally agree with exsgtbrown that we need to ban muslim immigration, but it doesn't go far enough. We need not only to ban muslim immigration, but to support muslim emmigration from OUR lands! Their ideology is incompatible with a free society.

Go here to read more detailed info on these guys and what they were doing.

Credit Cards and Terrorists
By Dennis Lormel

In the article he says this.

"• On one computer seized from al-Daour’s apartment, some 37,000 stolen credit card numbers were found. Alongside each credit card record was other information on the identity theft victims, such as the account holder’s address, date of birth, credit balances and limits."

al-Daour is one of this guy's associates.

This is a very scary number of ordinary mom's and pop's who are financing jihad and don't even know it.

OT
Somebody call Al Gore and ask him to send me some Global Warming. I'm watching it snow and I'm in the DEEP South.

When an Islamic infant is indoctrinated at birth to accept the rampant beliefs that their religion and ideology are sacrosanct, and therefore must be implicated worldwide through any means possible, should we really be surprised when radicalised students such as Tsouli, align their very existence to the eradication of the West?.

Bin-Laden was stunned at the fall of communism , late last Century. For he had always seen it as the more troubling ideology for Islamists such as himself, to take on and defeat, for in his view - it had no soul.

His thoughts on the West and its almighty leader the U.S. were very different. "paper tiger", was the expression he gave. In other words we have no fundamental beliefs, on anything other than wealth - possessions and celebrity. If hes correct, we are all in need of re-evaluating our lives to the growing realisation of an Islamic militancy to come!!.

from above
His capture led to the arrest of several Islamic terrorists around the world, including 17 men in Canada and two in the US.

Little by little, hey mo and your extremists buds, whats that sudden snap behind you, its ok just another buddy of mine with an attitude like me that wants to clean house, enjoy !!!!!

'Aren't the Brits completely exhausted by the day in and day out confrontations and uncovering of terrorists in their midst? Not to mention the astronomical financial cost.'

If only. Though Jeremey Paxman was looking grim-faced and peed off tonight on Newsnight. There was a major piece on it. I don't know if you can access this via the BBC's website but well worth watching if you can. It was excellent journalism, and pretty unusual for the Burqa Broadcasting Corporation these days. US investigators were involved in nailing this guy. There was international co-operation involving intelligence efforts across Europe, US and Canada.

It turns out the plots he was involved in were major. They involved Canadian and American citizens (I presume Muslims?) as well as Danish (Muslims?) who were foiled in a plot in Bosnia, and the Scottish kid, Mohammad Atif Siddique, a computer nerd from Alva, Clackmannanshire, who was arrested in April 2006 and sentenced last October. There was mention then about the Canadian plot when he was sentenced (apparently to blow up the Canadian Prime Minister) but all the sceptics poo-pahed it. Now they should feel ashamed. They kept pretty quiet about this Canadian link in the press and court proceedings and I guessed it was because something else was in the pipeline. Maybe this was it?

Later this month Amer Anwar, Siddique's lawyer, will also be in the dock on a contempt of court charge after he challenged the presiding judge Lord Carloway's ruling, claiming it was 'a state show trial' and other rubbish.

This latest conviction should vindicate Lord Carloway's handling of the case and hopefully help dispel the myth that circulated that the Canadian connection was a load of bull.

sneakyzionistcrusader -

I think the 'seventeen men in Canada' were the ones that wanted to take the Canadian parliament hostage and publicly behead the Prime Minister.

The whole story as it unfolded was covered by jihadwatch.

I quote, from an article posted on January 26 2007 -

"Many Canadians were shocked when the RCMP announced last June 3 [2006] it had arrested a group of adults and juveniles for allegedly planning truck bombings in Toronto. The group had also allegedly stockpiled firearms and intended to take hostages at the Parliament buildings in Ottawa and behead them unless Canada pulled its troops out of Afghanistan."

For the original story see:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/011776.php

It's not "immigration" it's infiltration.

They're not "guest workers", "refugees", "students" or "emigrees", they're colonizers.

Islam is incompatable with the Constitution.

And with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Which means they shouldn't be in the West, except as heavily-surveilled pupils of our secular laws and the Judeo-Greco-Roman philosophical system we base our liberties on.

To study the way of life and thinking that frees us, in order to compare it with their own ideology of enslavement.

Then go back to their own lands and spread the good news.

Can we assign him to a British prison, say in the vacinity of a sizable amount of "soccer hooligans"?

The joint NEIN/Canada Free Press report of April 21, 2006

http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/node/245

and the 20 July 2006 report by Doug Hagmann

http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/node/424

add data to the reports we published on Younis Tsouli dating back to 2004 and 2005. The most recent article was published on 15 Jan 2007.

http://www.homelandsecurityus.com/AhmedToronto011508

The discovery and arrest of Younis Tsouli led to the exposure of a massive section of the siper web that is the Al Qaeda/Islamonazi terrorist network.

The terrorist network links in this particular node of Younis Tsouli, Waseem Mughal and Tariq Al-Daour extended in a direct, bidirectional lines from Georgia Tech in the heart of Atlanta, Georgia, to Toronto, Canada, to London, UK to Mirsad Bektasevic (A/K/A "Maximus" a Swedish citizen living in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Hercegovina) to Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi and Al Qaeda in Iraq.

This individual and others like him perverted the truth about massacres in East Timor, Jakarta, and the Christian islands of Indonesia, I personally witnessed photographs of murdered Christians taken by a catholic priest, which were made available on the internet by him, being used on Jihadi sites, but the claims they made were that it was Muslims who were the victims.

These murders were horrendous.


People like this are as bad as any suicide bomber, because they instill justification thruogh hatred and lies

RE AWAKE;

English football,(soccer)thugs;

Ive always thought that if Islamic Jihadists commit further atrocities on British soil, it may well indeed be English football thugs that become the founding instigators of England V Islam, civil unrest.

A lot of them are as blood thirsty as the Islamists, and some clubs "firms", are run with such military precision, I'm often dumbfounded as to why their "leaders", don't harness their skills into a more productive calling.

Many years ago, I found it some-what embarrassing to attend England soccer matches abroad, because of these said "firms", views, on any race, creed or culture that wasn't "English", and boy-oh-boy did they re-iterate these points with their mouths - fists - and various weapons close to hand.

At "home", - on English soil they seem content to beat the living hell out of each other, but as Muslims, by and large, have refrained from this national pass-time, (as usual they haven't integrated themselves at all), they could quite easily be construed as the new "opposition".

Further more, the English chant of - "Id rather be a Paki than a Turk", - isolates these potential factions further still, and points potentially, to eventual clashes on our streets.
