Allah save the queen -- I mean Osama!
For you see, in Islam, Muslim solidarity takes precedence over modern-day concepts such as "nationality" or "citizenship," thanks to Koranic verses such as "Let not the believers [Muslims] take for friends or allies infidels instead of believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah" (3:28). Islam's prophet Muhammad also said "In the compassion and mercy the believers possess for one another, they are like one body: Should one of its members be struck ill, the rest of the body suffers from fever and insomnia" (The Al Qaeda Reader, 99). Any surprise, then, that "British" Muslims -- that is, Muslims residing in (i.e., benefiting from) Britain -- are allying themselves with fellow Muslims against their dhimmi hosts?
"British Muslims fighting alongside Taliban, commanders claim," by James Kirkup for the Telegraph, January 2:
UK soldiers in Afghanistan have killed British Muslims fighting alongside the Taliban, commanders claim.
Military intelligence reports suggest that a small number of UK nationals are among the range of foreign fighters who regularly clash with British troops in Afghanistan.British military sources have told The Daily Telegraph that they believe that some of those Britons have been killed fighting against their own country's forces.
The revelation comes amid growing concern among British military and intelligence officials about militants based in Pakistan launching attacks on British interests in Afghanistan and at home.
Foreign fighters enter Afghanistan from Pakistan's lawless border areas, home to the reconstituted al-Qaeda leadership.
British commanders in Helmand say that they have intelligence suggesting that British Muslims are among the enemies they face, albeit in small numbers.
"We're talking about ones and twos at a time," said one officer. "It's not big numbers, but they are there, definitely."
Some of those British Muslims may have been killed in battle with British troops, military sources said.
Confirmation is near-impossible, but British troop commanders believe that UK nationals are among the enemy dead.
One officer said: "We can't say for sure. If they don't carry passports, who can you say what nationality a corpse is? But it's a reasonable assumption that we've killed some of them."[...]
Patrick Mercer, the chairman of the House of Commons sub-committee on counter-terrorism, said it was "to be expected" that British Muslims were among the enemy dead in Afghanistan.
He said: "The terrorist operations undertaken by British citizens at home and abroad shows the scale of British Muslims' involvement in extremism around the world...

Another one bites the dust. Better end it there than in GB.

Did we not see this coming! Our friendly British Muslims. Lets take a vacation to the terrorist camps of Pakistan. Sounds like it will be an excellent vacation. Yeah measure our resolve and dedication to the Islamic Jihad.

Serving Allah has its limits and obligations for sure.

I saw once on TV a British member of Parliament who was a Muslim. He took pride in the fact that a church had been converted into a mosque.
The Roman Empire was overrun by barbarians in this manner. The lobster in the pot with the water slowly warming.
Don't the true British have anything to defend?

"British muslims"? Oxymoron of the day.

Oh, well... real soldiers and self-styled jihadi's die, in war. It's sad, but no surprise.

The expressions "British national" and "British citizen" can cover a multitude of sins. They most likely refer to Pakistanis or Arabs who have acquired, one way or another, citizenship in the U.K.; or next most likely Pakistanis or Arabs who were born in the U.K.; or the least likey, white indigenous Britons who perverted to Islam. In my opinion, only the last were ever really British, and they gave that up when they perverted. The others may be "nationals" or "citizens", but they're not British.

Is it really that surprising? Islam is an equal opportunist perverted cult. Any who swear alligence to it must render just dues. Your life, your spouses life and your childrens' lives. Plus any thing you own or work for.
I do not hate the Muslims, but I do hate Islam and what it does to people.

"...a small number of UK nationals are among the range of foreign fighters who regularly clash with British troops in Afghanistan.
"British military sources have told The Daily Telegraph that they believe that some of those Britons have been killed fighting against their own country's forces."
From the article.
Why doesn't the UK institute a program that would encourage other UK Muslims to join up with the Taliban, and even give them one-way tickets to Islamabad? The Brits could then deal with them in Afghanistan as they deserved to be dealt with, without all the red tape and interference of the British judiciary at home. This would solve a whole raft of problems.

This is a non-story. Every mosque spews support for the Taliban every Friday. To believe otherwise is the height of naivete. I wish I knew how to do cool symbols like umlauts, but I don't.

Isn't it ironic that our government and Media state that there is not such a thing as Islamic Terrorism and yet are quite happy to continue to call these 'Islamic Terrorists' British Citizens?
I've had many discussions, most often heated arguments with people who are still unable to understand what Britishness is. Many people continue to ask one to define what Britishness is, when its most simple definition is "One who loves their country, is a patriot and would defend their country and fellow Brits before anything else".
In other words a Nationalist is British. Those who are proud of their heritage, culture and past Great Britons(whom incidentally have done great things in the world) are British. People are mistaken that being born in a country does not automatically make you that Nationality. You could have been born in the UK, have grown up on a foreign culture and never learned a word of English, so that would most definitely not make you British.
The latter is exactly what is happening with Islam. They are not taught Western books and culture when young but instead the Koran and Bengali or Urdu. There is also(in London) clamour to get places on Arabic courses for young Muslims.
Muslims are not or ever will be British until they no longer are Muslims. They follow the Nation that is Islam not the Nation that is Britain. These people fighting for the Taliban upon capture should be tried for treason, subsequently imprisoned and then executed(preferably by being fed alive to the lions, tigers or bears of London Zoo).
I find it yet more despicable that the government continues to look at them as British Nationals/Citizens when they are not and have tried to/killed British soldiers.
NuLabour need to be removed from government next election and whatever Political Party wins(most probably Conservative) needs to break away from the EU, scrap the Lisbon Treaty and allow us 100% control of our country, borders, immigration/asylum and deprtation/extradition of criminals/terrorists and people.
Until the above is implemented, nothing will stop Islamisation.
Remove Islam from the West once and for all!

Did the British Gov. really believe that true Muslims could really be British? They need to understand Islam but the effort is evidently too much trouble, and the sellouts among their irresponsible politicians are just too many.
Ending Muslim immigration is the minimum that should be done.

Find the next of kin in the UK: parents, siblings, children, spouses. Deport them from the UK to the Islamic country of origin. Wherever that is in doubt, deport them to Saudi Arabia.
