Where is the indignation over this convert to Islam who seems to have gotten his peaceful religion drastically wrong? Where is the international Muslim outrage? Where are the protests? Why is it that we're not likely to hear a peep out of any Muslim spokesman or organization about this unless this plot were dramatized in a high-profile film made by a non-Muslim?
"British Convert To Islam Reveals Plot To Kill Saudi King," from RTTNews (thanks to Twostellas):
(RTTNews) - A British citizen who converted to Islam and joined al-Qaida said in an interview with a British paper Tuesday that he had planned to assassinate King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, carry out terror attacks in London and blow up the U.S. Embassy in Qatar.The man, using the pseudonym Abu Omar, told the Evening Standard that one of the masterminds of the September 11 bombings, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, instructed him to carry out terror attacks in Britain.
He said that he had spent a number of years in terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, adding that he "regretted" his decision to join al-Qaida and hoped that Muslims in Britain would shun extremism.
Great. I hope so too. What is he doing about it?

This Muslim convert was going to kill the Saudi King? Isn't the Saudi King a Muslim? They really do eat their own, don't they.
'Can't wait for that peace that only Islam can bring to the world.

Predictable. I think we have figured it out. The minds of the Mohammedenbots. They are blood thirsty, sex lusting go to their carnal paradise of 72 virgins and wine. They fast and easy way blow up people in the name of Allah. The way things are going I can only say that some kind massive catastrophe could awaken this slumber that the western leaders and media seem to be in, or maybe not.

Hello everyone, this is O.T. but I just read it and figured it to be relevant to these matters.

Can someone please tell me why there have not been "converts" who have infiltrated Al Qaida and killed that sumbrch OBL already? Or at least find out his exactly location so we can drop a bunker buster on his behind already. Especially if there have been real converts who have gone there and come back.

Why did this jihadist only get 20 months. At least he should have gotten 20 years.
Posted by: Christian at April 1, 2008 10:27 AM
I jut thought of a possible answer t my question. If t judge was politically correct, perhaps he o she did not want anger other jihadists by imposing th maximum sentence for aiding and abetting terrorists. perhaps

"Misunderstander of Islam reveals plot to carry out jihad attacks in London, blow up US Embassy in Qatar, and kill Saudi King"
In what order? I would strongly oppose the jihad attacks in London, and I'm not sure the US should have an embassy in Qatar. As to the other item on his 'to do' list, well, .......

Shows that nothing is good enough for muslims.

Attacking the American Embassy? No, that would be wrong. Terror attacks on civilians in London? That would be wrong too. Plotting to kill a representative member of the Al-Saud, King Abdullah, while he's on a state visit to London? Well, nobody's completely imperfect...

I'm following everything, but........killing the Saudi King.
Dude, you're not supposed to harm a fellow Muslim. Didn't they cover that in Islam 101? What, the Saudis are not "true" Muslims? Who told you that? Is this any way to run a jihad?
Posted by: tanstaafl at April 1, 2008 12:25 PM
You guys have it all wrong, again.
It's got nothing to do with Islam.
The Saudi government does business with the West, the West supports the Zionists, therefore the King's got to go.
Essentially, by associating with the hated infidels, King Abdallah has become a partial apostate, and of course, all good Muslims are commanded to kill apostates.
Oh, wait... Scratch that; it's got nothing to do with Islam.
"Abu Omar" is not a Muslim terrorist; he's just a terrorist who happens to be a Muslim. No different from all those other terrorists out there who happen to be Christians, Jews, Buddhists, etc.
What, you haven't heard about all the Buddhists flying airliners into skyscrapers? C'mon, it happens all the time.

I don't understand why they want to kill the saudis - they help them along in the jihad so much. To me it is just an example of psychopaths having to murder someone. So, I guess why not a saudi prince.
When they get wind of this there will be another outreach effort to the jihadists to have them promise not to bomb them, they will probably be given a brand new rifle and patted on the head and given a boat ride to our shores.

On a serious note, most biographers of OBL agree that he hates the Saudi government almost as much as he hates us.
The most common explanation for his hatred of the Saudi government has to do with US involvement in the first Gulf War, but I have to admit, that explanation doesn't make much sense to me.
Of course, most of what happens in dar-al-Islam doesn't make much sense to me.

"I don't understand why they want to kill the Saudis [reference to the plot to kill King Abdulah}"
-- from a posting above
Itis not "the Saudis" but the leading member of the Al-Saud, whom the Western convert intented to kill. And it was not mainly, or solely, because the Al-Saud have supposedly been friendly with -- it's all nonsense, of course -- the Americans. The issue is corruptionm, fantastic corruption.
The Al-Saud have appropriated for themselves, over half a century, hundreds of billions of dollars. That maddens Saudis. But they can't islamically oppose a ruler unless that ruler can be called "un-Islamic." That is what those, opposed to the Al-Saud, have first to decide, and have declared. And that is why the Al-Saud keep all the clerics on their side, and give into them whenever necessary, so as to keep them from fomenting, encouraging, supporting, lending legitimacy to, a campaign against the Al-Saud. This is what keeps the mutawwa, the religious police, in power. This helps explain what keeps the most trogolodytic clerics on Saudi television, and hysterial faith-based hatred against non-Muslims included in the textbooks in Saudi schools. The Al-Saud want to keep getting away with the largest theft by rulers in human history. And if keeping the clerics satisfied, by hewing to the Shari'a, is required to keep those tens of billions flowing, then that's a small price to pay, for those Al-Saud and their courties, with their most impressively gravelly-voiced seemingly semi-reasonable representatives abroad, that careful aesopian language used with Westerners and other non-Muslims, while at home, it is all daggers-and-dishdashas, and sneers of cold command.

Brilliant!

I wouldn't be surprised if our friend ol' Avi Lewis had something to do with this.
