Jihad Watch

Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK Muslim who called 9/11 jihad bombings a “blessing” had library of jihad terror manuals

Aug 6, 2014 9:45 am By Robert Spencer

AfsorAli“Ali was said to be the spokesman of banned extremist group Muslims Against Crusades when he praised the suicide attacks on America. The radical Muslim warned of a terrorist attack on the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and called for a Burn American Flag Day in YouTube videos, the Old Bailey heard.” And like Hinda Osman Dhirane in Washington state, he called jihad mass murder attacks a “blessing.” And of course, from the jihadis’ point of view, they are blessings: they are what their bloodthirsty god wants.

“Radical Muslim ‘had library of terror manuals,'” by Paul Cheston, London Evening Standard, August 6, 2014:

A Muslim extremist who claimed that the 9/11 attacks were a blessing had a library of terror manuals including personal tutorials on Jihad with radical preacher Omar Bakri, the Old Bailey has heard.

Afsor Ali, 27, kept a stash of al-Qaeda documents, bomb-making plans and extremist lectures on his computer, selecting some to carry with him on his MP3 player, it was alleged.

Ali was said to be the spokesman of banned extremist group Muslims Against Crusades when he praised the suicide attacks on America. The radical Muslim warned of a terrorist attack on the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and called for a Burn American Flag Day in YouTube videos, the Old Bailey heard.

Ali was personally counselled by Bakri, the militant cleric dubbed the Tottenham Ayatollah, and recorded two of their conversations about Jihadi fighting and martyrdom.

Ali is on trial for having the al-Qaeda magazine Inspire and terrorist manual “39 Ways to Serve and Participate in Jihad” on his computers and MP3 player. Prosecutor Oliver Glasgow said he was a leader of Muslims Against Crusades and appeared in four YouTube videos under the alias Abu Assadullah promoting extremism.

Ali’s activities were investigated after he was arrested outside the US embassy on December 2, 2011, while leading a violent protest against drone strikes in Pakistan.

Ali of Scott Street, Bethnal Green, denies four counts of possessing documents containing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism.

The trial continues.

    Once again, Islam proves it is not really a religion.

      When has the western democracy proved that it is a system(religion) of peace and prosperity and human rights? remember GTMO? Iraq(for possessing WMD)?

        “Tu Quoque is a very common fallacy in which one attempts to defend oneself or another from criticism by turning the critique back against the accuser. This is a classic Red Herring since whether the accuser is guilty of the same, or a similar, wrong is irrelevant to the truth of the original charge. However, as a diversionary tactic, Tu Quoque can be very effective, since the accuser is put on the defensive, and frequently feels compelled to defend against the accusation.”

        From http://www.fallacyfiles.org/tuquoque.html.

        Many Western countries, and Western-aligned nations, opposed the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. It was due to a failure of democracy, but not because of democracy itself.

      Right. It’s a violent political ideology. There are no “moderates” in Islam, merely barbaric savages that are a threat wherever you find them. (And always will be). All they know is death, destruction and war. There is a reason Islamists cannot live in peace, anywhere. If there are no Americans or Brits , etc. convenient to slaughter, they just start slaughtering each other. Imagine a world without Islam.

        A world without Islam would be heaven on earth.

    “Muslim against Crusades”. Is this the same group who used to say the Queen should wear a headveil?

    This UK Muslim must hate the American people very much to view 9/11 as as “blessing” This brutal, cruel and murderous mind is the result of Islam with its Quran. As The Quran teaches in Sura47:4. “Whenever you encounter the unbelievers strike off their heads until you make a great slaughter among them…”
    Using jet aircraft as bombs can make a greater “slaughter among them” a sword can. Thomas Paine wrote “Any system of religion that has anything in it that shocks the mind of a child, cannot be a true system.”

    Prosecutor Oliver Glasgow said he was a leader of Muslims Against Crusades

    The last crusade took place almost 800 years ago. Further evidence that muslims are not living in the 21st century.
