Blimey! Allahu akbar, mate!

Britain exporting jihad. "RAF find 'Taliban with British accents,'" from Metro.co.uk (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):

AFGHANISTAN: An Islamic group expressed surprise today at reports that RAF spy planes in south Afghanistan have detected Taliban fighters speaking in British accents.

Nimrod surveillance aircraft flying over Helmand province recently picked up voices lapsing from local languages into English with Midlands and Yorkshire accents, according to reports.

Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said he was aware that some British Muslims travelled to Afghanistan to fight when hostilities began in 2001.

He had heard of no cases since then, but accepted it was "not beyond the bounds of possibility", given that the conflict had "dragged on with still no end in sight".

...and given that neither Bunglawala nor other Muslim leaders in Britain have lifted a finger to disabuse their coreligionists in that country of the jihad ideology.

As I understand it, young Mormons must do a two-year period of missionary work before becoming full-fledged members of their faith. This must be the Moslem equivalent: young British Moslems piously going off to join the Taliban, or al-Qaeda, or some other murder gang, in defending their faith from the infidels.
Note of course that Mormon missionary work doesn't require proficiency with an AK-47 or knowing how to construct a bomb. Not that I'm passing any moral judgement; we're all multi-culturists here.

Another example of non assimilation in western society by muslims.

When are Western governments going to learn that muslims are loyal to islam above all else and if an imam tells his follwers to kill in the name of islam, they will?

All immigration (permanent or temporary) from muslim countries needs to be stopped, non-muslim citizens need to be deported and if a muslim citizen holds islam above country through speech or action, they should have their citizenship revoked and deported.

We have to protect our western societies or they will be lost.

Taliban speaking with a British accent---normally you'd expect something like this only when watching British comedy on the telly.

When reality becomes surreal...

"From Metro.co.uk (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):"

Metro is the free paper that you get at London Underground stations, right? That's just what you want to read while riding on the Tube: that British-born Taliban are training in Afghanistan and Pakistan!

FROM THE WHITE HOUSE (in days gone by):


Executive Summary

"OUR NATIONAL STRATEGY FOR VICTORY IN IRAQ:
Helping the Iraqi People Defeat the Terrorists and Build an Inclusive Democratic State

Victory in Iraq is Defined in Stages

Short term, Iraq is making steady progress in fighting terrorists, meeting political milestones, building democratic institutions, and standing up security forces.

Medium term, Iraq is in the lead defeating terrorists and providing its own security, with a fully constitutional government in place, and on its way to achieving its economic potential.

Longer term, Iraq is peaceful, united, stable, and secure, well integrated into the international community, and a full partner in the global war on terrorism.

Victory in Iraq is a Vital U.S. Interest

Iraq is the central front in the global war on terror. Failure in Iraq will embolden terrorists and expand their reach; success in Iraq will deal them a decisive and crippling blow.

The fate of the greater Middle East -- which will have a profound and lasting impact on American security -- hangs in the balance.

Failure is Not an Option

Iraq would become a safe haven from which terrorists could plan attacks against America, American interests abroad, and our allies.
Middle East reformers would never again fully trust American assurances of support for democracy and human rights in the region -- a historic opportunity lost.

The resultant tribal and sectarian chaos would have major consequences for American security and interests in the region."

Nota Bene:

"Iraq is the central front in the global war on terror."

No, there is no "central front." The Jihad is everywhere that there exist those who believe in the duty of Jihad. And certainly there should now be as much worry about those who live deep within Infidel lands -- including Great Britain -- as about those who may continue to threaten Infidels, rather than each other, inside Iraq.

Above is the example of British-raised (and possibly British-born) Muslims who, joining the Taliban, are overheard relapsing into English when they cannot think of the Pashto or Urdu for something, and speak it with an accent that is regional English.

Its always interesting to keep an eye on the hysterical Bunglawussy from the MCB, so much that I made him a regular feature on my blog, 'Bunglawussy Watch'

Missed him the last couple of days though, but its worth to check his 'Islamophobia' site for Christianophobia, Judeophobia, Hinduphobia and all the other phobia's that Muhammedans carry in their mental baggage:

Now think Visa Waivers from Britain and EU.
Just me? Or is that enough to make you pucker?

Slight bit of editing

Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Kitman of Britain, said "blah blah

Why is this organisation given any credibilty?

We knew a couple ran off to kill Americans in 2001 but we figured that was it. You know, the few crazy Kids who just never settled down. The rest were peaceful, we thought they were over it. We told them at Friday prayers how to act towards the Infidel. How were we to know they misunderstood the Iman.
What do you want from me? They said they were going to go camping. Wanted to do it some place dryer. How could we say no?

Bli'me, is that a bloody Infidel over there? By Jove, it is - let's chop 'is bleedin' 'ead off.

" RAF spy planes in south Afghanistan have detected Taliban fighters speaking in British accents.'

"I say, wot, I've just bagged myself one of those Johnny Foreigner Infidel chappies, wot. What a jolly jape it was too. Offered the bounder a nice cuppa char with a spot of milk but the cad gave me a bunch of fives instead. Certainly wasn't cricket"

I picture Terry Thomas with a towel on his head for some reason.

"I say, Mohammed old chap, would you mind awfully passing the AK47?"

"Oh spiffing wheeze, Abdul old bean! One delights in all manifestations of the jihadist muse."

"And could I trouble you for 5 ounces of Semtex, old chap? You see, it behoves one to give some infidel blighters a jolly old warm little reception, what?"

"Rather! Buffy Khan, the munitions cove, has just taken delivery of some. He's such a good chap. Played cricket for Harrow, you know."

"Good lord, Mohammed old chap! Why, I played for Eton 1st XI! Indeed, I was there at the same time as Ginger Iqbal. Dashed good bowler, that Iqbal fellow. Now he's our finest grenade thrower."
