U.K.: "Islamic Awakening" website cheers British casualties in Afghanistan

A government spokeswoman said: "The role of the internet in radicalisation is an area of concern." The role of canonical Islamic texts... not so much.

"Sick fanatics cheer body bags," by Padraic Flanagan and John Ingham for the Daily Express, August 19 (thanks to Sr Soph):

British Muslim fanatics sparked fresh fury last night by praising Taliban “heroes” for sending our troops back from Afghanistan in body bags.
Dozens of homegrown “jihadis” have posted website messages cheering last weekend’s carnage in Helmand province that saw Britain’s death toll rise to 204 soldiers.
Last night there were calls by senior politicians for the Home Office to crack down on the hate-filled rants that will distress even further the relatives of troops who gave their lives fighting the Taliban.
The shameful website involved stoked up hatred as it emerged that one of two soldiers killed trying to save their mortally wounded commander had recently got married before deploying to Afghanistan.
The commander had got engaged while home on leave in June.
The tragedies were revealed yesterday as the Ministry of Defence named the three soldiers, all from 2nd Battalion The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, who died on Sunday.
The gloating jihadi website, Islamic Awakening, is a forum for Islamic extremism, prompting a slew of vile attacks on the efforts of British troops to rescue Afghanistan from the grip of fundamentalists.

As soon as Western policymakers pin down who the "moderates" are -- the Shi'ite family law that just went into effect is another reminder of that problem.

The first messages were posted within minutes of the news of the latest outrage in Helmand on Sunday.
“Isma’eel”, said: “Man, they really are dropping like flies over there lol [laugh out loud].”
Another, calling himself “AbuJunayd”, said: “Inshallah [God-willing] the more the kuffs [non-Muslims] deploy, the more the bros will send em back in body bags, or crutches or with serious psychological problems.”
“Waziri” said: “By command of Allah, the invading forces will be forced to withdraw humiliated and defeated by a group of men who between them do not possess even one transport helicopter.”
“Noorah”, said: “They are really getting whooped. Don’t know how they think they can win.”
Senior Tory MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of the Commons counter-terrorism committee and a former Army officer, said: “It’s deeply distasteful and clearly the last thing that relatives of the dead want to see or hear.”
Last night the Daily Express informed the Office for Security and Counter Terrorism at the Home Office of the website’s content.
A spokeswoman said: “The role of the internet in radicalisation is an area of concern to Government.”

The enemies within taunt the valiant soldiers while the British government cowers in a corner against the Islamic scum. We must honor these men who have fought against tyranny as their ancestors did. Irregardless of if we believe these soldiers should really be in Afghanistan, we cannot doubt that they are fighting the true enemy of those who relish freedom. Every piece of Islamic garbage that they put in the grave is a victory for free men. Let their deeds represent them as the heroes they are.


Mohammedan extremists are evil and vile. I hope they rot in Hell.

Marisol, please don't delete this. It's TRUE.

Wonder why the comments are disabled for the Daily Express article?

Seems to me that people would have much to say.

A spokeswoman said: “The role of the internet in radicalisation is an area of concern to Government.”

It's NOT the internet, it's the Koran.
The RADICAL MUSLIMS are the ones that are loving, tolerant, and forgiving towards non-Muslims in direct violation of the Koran.

It's the DEVOUT MUSLIMS that are the ones doing the killing, just like the Koran REQUIRES.

The British soldier has been valiant. The British govenment has been craven. The British Muslim has been execrable.

Too bad the circus clowns left for the day and didn't stick around to defend the soulless comments made by like-minded-soldiers-for-allah on this thread.

Islam is for ?? .....those without a conscience.

The British soldier has been valiant. The British government has been craven. The British Muslim has been execrable.

Wellington - well said.

I do have one or two observations of my own, however.

First: Padraic Flanaghan, reporter, he of the magnificent Irish name, and his colleague John Ingham of the equally splendid English name, and the Daily Express editor who chose to publish their report, and the Daily Express personages (the editor? and whoever else it was?) who cared enough to report to the authorities what it was that John and Padraic found so easily by merely visiting a Muslim website, should all be duly congratulated by all British jihadwatchers, in Letters to the Editor.

Second: yet again, I hear the voice of Patrick Mercer, MP, former soldier, and son of a Bishop. His heart seems to be in the right place. His commonsense has not entirely departed. He can recognise the abominable when he hears and sees it.

British jihadwatchers: write to *him*; encourage him; do your best to educate him further. Try to find out whether he knows about Mr Spencer's work (in particular, as an ex-soldier, he should be got to read 'Onward Muslim Soldiers') or Stephen Coughlin's thesis 'To Our Great Detriment' or Raymond Ibrahim's The Al-Qaeda Reader'; he most certainly *ought* to have read, or even consulted with, Canon Dr Patrick Sookhdeo, whose analysis of Islam, and whose warnings about Stealth Jihad, are just as clear-eyed as Spencer's. If you are Christian: pray for Mr Mercer and for all others in public office in Britain - there *are* others - who are also showing glimmerings of understanding and signs of fight.

The more intelligent letters and phonecalls of encouragement Mr Mercer, MP, and others like him, receive, the more they will be emboldened.

If there are really any moderate British
Muslim leaders they should strongly come
out in support of the British solders.With
the British governments weakness and no
show of assimilation by British Muslims
sooner or later the frustrations of the
British non Muslims will boil over and then
a lot of people innocent or not will get hurt.

Sound advice as ususal, dda. I wish this Mercer fellow well. He seems like a good guy, perhaps not informed enough as of yet, but if the instincts are right, the knowledge will follow.

I love Britain. I love the idea of Britain. She's a great nation but is now foundering and under dismal leadership. Compounding all this is the great menace, Islam of course, to all that is best in the British tradition.

To begin with, the mocking of British culture by Brits themselves has to stop. Enough already. Monty Python and its ilk need to be put on hold for a while. It's not funny anymore. Self-deprecation has its merits but it too can be taken too far. Churchillian realizations and resolve should become the order of the day. All that is great, enlightened and noble is still rescuable in the great island nation but time is running out.

And Islam is in the dark corners hoping that time does indeed run out for the great people of Great Britain. The present assault on the UK is no less potentially lethal than that posed by other forces of evil back in 1940, only the methods of destruction have been altered. Time to dig deep and preserve freedom for posterity yet again, which will take some doing and which will prove once more that Thomas Jefferson was eminently correct when he observed that freedom isn't free. Be it Nazis or imams, one totalitarian ideology or the next one, those who cherish liberty and don't take it for granted can never let their guard down.

British Muslims are truly biting the hand that feeds them. The British government notwithstanding, when the "football" fans have had enough it's not going to be pretty.

celebrating violent death is so Islamic

Hey, Islamic Awakening, some of your "bros" just offed 80 or so of your other "bros" today in Iraq. Gloat about that for a while.

Quislings.

Dear Wellington, I love Britain, too, the great country of Will Shakespeare, Isaac Newton and Winston Churchill that freed Europe from the Nazis with cooperation of the Americans, of course. But Monty Python is really great British sense of humour, leave them as they are, to be superior to your enemy you always have to be able to laugh at yourself, that's what the Jews have been doing all along. This is a good example
http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110008822 for Britain

I think Roger Scruton is a good analyst and philosopher.

Muslims are devoid of any sense of humour, hence the lack of comprehension between our ways of life, I avoid the term culture, because Islam hasn't got any culture or civilisation in my books. There was never a real debate, a conversation possible between us and the trolls. They were a good, albeit involuntary laugh. Take pride in Britain and all her achievements. We shall overcome!

Well, they definitely are not loyal to the UK. It only proves that the mass imigration is nothing more than advance positioning.

I checked out their site but haven't yet made any comments.
I'm sure I will be entering some heated debates soon.

SICK BASTARDS!

"Sick fanatics cheer body bags"-

Unfortunately they are not sick fanatics. They are good Muslims. They understand their Islam.

Its our Western political leaders who are the sick fanatics because they still hold on to multiculti inclusivity and global worming instead of tackling the real issues.

We can't even blame the Muslims for what they do, because they follow their religion.

*ping, ping, ping, ping, ping - tries unsuccessfully to ping sheik yer'mami's comment*

Islam: the means for the destruction of Britain.
Gordon Brown edited the "Red Papers" in the 70's.
Tony Blair's father was a communist, and Tony Blair did all he could to reinforce the lie of multiculturalism throughout his almost ten year term as Prime Minister.
Do the math, Britain.
You have been set up for destruction.

Isn't there a bit of a win-win going on here. The Brits get off on being insulted and the muzzies love being the pissers.
An Englishman 'stands to be insulted' as if mockery was an enlightened path of self-respect.

"by the way, we are muslims, not brits or americans, there was islam before there was britain or american, our allegiance is to Allah, the Apostle and the community of believers, not some fake, temporary borders established by colonizers who used to rule the world"

Well at least he's honest.

Alaskan Infidel says... ( on accounta I can't find how to change my name to what it's spoda be.)

Some troll should get on here and set me straight...
this sure as hell looks like a religious war to me. It is islam against all other religions and those that have no religion or belief in any deity.
islam is at war with all non-muslims...simple as that. In some places it's a shootin' war with Christians, Hindus, Jews as targets...for looting, burning, rape, all the usual religious practices of islam.
In others, it's a demand for a footbath, a special room for muslims to pray in. All of it is warfare and should be treated as such.
Whether the cancer demands your toe or your head, it is cancer and must be defeated...destroyed.
muslims must be free of islam...the world will not be safe or free until that day when islam ceases to be.

islam is a lie and
Truth is killing it.

Patrick Mercer’s prize argument is that it’s worth all the grief and mourning across the country caused by the death toll of 200 or more dead British soldiers to avoid the possibility of Pakistan nuclear weapons falling into the hands of the Taliban. By this repeated rhetoric he seemingly hopes to gain public support for a costly futile war in which our boys are fighting and dying for the good of a corrupt Islamic country.

U.S. joint chiefs of staff Admiral Michael Mullen told reporters Pakistan's nuclear weapons are secure. "I remain comfortable that the nuclear weapons in Pakistan are secure" Asked if nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of the Taliban he replied "I don't think that's going to happen but it is a strategic concern that we all share".

Visiting Afghanistan in 2006 John Reid, the defence secretary said we are in Afghanistan to help protect the Afghan people and to reconstruct their economy and democracy. The cost to the taxpayers of operations in Afghanistan increase to an estimated £3bn for 2009-10.

Major Miller of the Defence Intelligence Staff said "Lets not kid ourselves. To date Operation Herrick (the British codename for the War in Afghanistan) has been a failure". He claimed that hundreds of millions of pounds of taxpayers money had been wasted on a war which had failed to deliver any real reconstruction, governance or security. He further stated the chief "effect" of the British presence in Helmand has been to transform Helmand into the opium centre of the world. With our national debt of £1.4 trillion war in Afghanistan for the next five or more years will be money spent for the good of Islamic people while more than a million British children are living in abject poverty desperately in need of that misspent money.

Before Afghanistan becomes our Vietnam, bring our boys home from the graveyard for foreign armies, known as the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
