Maybe more Charlie Chaplin than Osama bin Laden, but you never know. “Exposed, the ‘Blackburn Resistance’: Gang ‘filmed preparations for terror,'” by James Tozer in the Telegraph, February 24 (thanks to Twostellas):
Brandishing machetes and guns, the young men pose for the video camera.
The three British Muslims filmed themselves as they prepared for a terrorist attack, a court was told yesterday.
They also recorded themselves crawling on their bellies through piles of leaves in a town centre park for a military-style training video, it was alleged.
The prosecution claimed that while the footage might appear ‘almost comical in its amateurishness’, in reality it showed a group ‘intoxicated by the evil of terrorism’….
Of course, they didn’t believe what they were doing was evil. They thought they were serving the supreme deity. That made it all the more intoxicating.
