UK: Seven 'planned terror campaign'

Half a ton of fertilizer!

"I'd like half a ton of ammonium nitrate, please."

"Certainly, sir! Hydrangeas looking a bit poorly, are they?"

"Seven 'planned terror campaign,'" from the BBC, with thanks to John, who also sent in the little exchange above:

Seven British citizens had acquired "most of the necessary components" to launch a bombing campaign in the UK, the Old Bailey has heard.

Opening the prosecution case, David Waters QC said police intervened before the men could decide on a target.

All seven deny conspiring to cause life-endangering explosions between January 2003 and April 2004.

Three of the men also deny storing half a ton of fertiliser, which could be used in bomb-making, in west London.

The ammonium nitrate fertiliser was recovered after police searched a storage unit....

On the first day of the trial, Mr Waters told the jury the plot was stopped before it could "reach fruition"....

The bomb, or bombs, would have been used "at the very least to destroy strategic plant within the United Kingdom, or more realistically to kill and injure citizens of the UK," he claimed.

Earlier, the judge, Sir Michael Anstill, told the jury they must "put aside" their opinions on terrorism....

Why?

Omar Khyam, 24, and his brother Shujah Mahmood, 19 - both from Crawley in West Sussex - each deny possessing aluminium powder.

Mr Khyam, Anthony Garcia (also known as Rahman Adam), 23, of Ilford, east London, and Nabeel Hussain, 20, of Horley, Surrey, each deny possession of the ammonium nitrate fertiliser.

The other accused are Salahuddin Amin, 31, from Luton, Bedfordshire, and Waheed Mahmood, 34, and Jawad Akbar, 22, both from Crawley.

Hmmm. Omar, Shujah, Rahman, Nabeel, Salahuddin, Waheed, and Jawad. Doubtless Methodists to a man.

How long does it take to add two and two together? I know people are becoming more and more skeptical about Islam. Keep up the good work JW/DW

Once again the white devils have conspired against an innocent and naive group of muslims. Obviously MI5 planted evidence to show Islam in a bad light.

Time to take up organic gardening. Of course the large chemical companies might object, but it might give Tony Blair's and Dubya's speech writers another outlet for the fruits of their craft.

Let's not jump to conclusions now...maybe they were forming the Jihad Gardening Society of Sussex and just wanted to green up England.

Yesterday in JW we saw the story Ahmadinejad: Iran will stick to nuclear plans which quoted Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying:

They were saying that this (oil) smelt bad and is useless and you don't need it.

Now we know why their oil smelt bad, it was the fertilizer they were mixing it with.

As far as the names go, at least the BBC is (kind of) doing their job and giving us the information and letting us draw our own conclusions about their motivation. The stories I've seen, they usually just say "Seven Britons...", or maybe "Seven Asians..." and leave it at that.

Perhaps they were hoping to get a big allotment.

Siciliano:

I'm sure greening the UK is exactly what they had in mind, but it's the green flag of Hamas greening and not lush, virdant flora.

Four of these guerilla gardeners were from my old manor, creepy Crawley - where Bakri used to train his al-muhajiroun kiddies in Tilgate Scout hut. Everyone knew, the police, the council, there was a tv documentary devoted to them (ooh what a lovely Jihad!) so even the Home Office must've known. Everyone, apart from their moderate friends and families who financed their "adventure holidays" to AQ training camps. Yet the security services seemed oblivious.

Thank God, they seem to have "blown their cover" & caught MI5's attention by buying gardening supplies.

NO Looks like the cartoons did the trick the mulsum roits over cartoons put the eyes wide open even to the hard left they will try to rebury their heads in the sand but that hole has been filled.


Most are still in shock and this is why the anti Americ crowd did not show up for the anti war rallys you can see from the Pictures it is the mulsum palis who are in the country and the Anrickist who showed up and their #s are few.

You see the mulsum who run CIAR know that a big hit in this counrty will have them rounded up and put on a slow boat back to a mulsum country and the American people will have no

The Hidden Army Of Radical Islam
Sky News has obtained evidence of hundreds of radical Islamic Holy warriors hiding in Bosnia, a decade after the end of the war. Tim Marshall went to Zenica in search of answers. He found a growing radicalisation, and a new base for Al Qaeda.

Again Samuel Adams is apropos:

"Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, 'What should be the reward of such sacrifices?' Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship, and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your consul, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you; and may posterity forget ye were our countrymen."

How illuminating and accurate is WINSTON CHURCHILLS description of Islam.
'How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy,which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia (rabies) in a dog, there is a fearful fatalistic apathy. Improvident habits,slovenly systems of agriculture,sluggish methods of commerce,and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives life of its grace and refinement;the next of its dignity and snctity. The fact thet in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property -either as a child,a wife, or a concubine-must delay the final extinction of SLAVERY until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individulal Muslims may show splendid qualities. Thousands become brave and loyal soldiers, ALL know how to DIE. But the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger RETROGRADE force exists in the world . Far from being moribund Mohammedism is a MILITANT and prosletysing faith. It has alrady spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the stong arms of science-the science against which Mohammedism has vainly struggled-the CIVILISATION of modern Europe might fall.

HOW TRUE ARE THESE WORDS TODAY JUST AS THEY WERE WHEN WINSTON FIRST WROTE THEM.

We should not be too much in a hurry to detect pro-Muslim prejudice everywhere. Earlier, the judge, Sir Michael Anstill, told the jury they must "put aside" their opinions on terrorism...., says the article, and Robert asks Why? Well, Robert, because that is what every judge says to every jury at the start of every trial in England. It is pure judicial boilerplate, and amounts to saying that they should judge the case before them on its merits. It is a principle of English law, and the reason why previous convictions of accused men are not disclosed to the jury. It has nothing to do with Islamic terrorism any more than it has to do with IRA terrorism, drugs running, prostitution, or shoplifting, on all of which it has been repeated by every foolish or clever person with a horsehair wig in the last several centuries of English history.
