The Reid incident is giving us a glimpse into the mindset of all too many British Muslims. This kind of story then comes as no surprise.
It is to this case that we owe the memorable and telling phrase, “Keep up the dawah and the psychological warfare.”
From the UK’s Life Style Extra, with thanks to DFS:
A British Muslim accused of plotting terror attacks against the US Navy appeared in court today facing extradition to the United States.
Syed Talha Ahsan, who turns 27 tomorrow, is also alleged to have been recruiting and raising money for the Taliban and of having US Navy battle plans detailing American warships’ vulnerability to terrorist attacks.
He is also alleged to have been in touch with a US Navy enlistee sympathetic to his views and urged him to “keep up the psychological warfare”….
Ahsan was arrested at his Tooting home in July after a court in Connecticut returned a three count indictment alleging terror offences spanning seven years. This followed a long investigation by FBI and customs agents and naval and anti-terror investigators.
US authorities say Ahsan ran websites with another Briton, Babar Ahmad, in an organisation called Azzam Publications, which supported terror groups.
The alleged conspirators, through websites hosted in the US, are said to have provided expert advice for terrorists and helped raise money and recruit personnel for guerrilla groups in Afghanistan and Chechnya.
