British Muslims are lying, hypocrites.of course.
Bruce British Muslims denounce strike as London man linked to attack Islamic reformist hosts website used by group to claim responsibility Ian MacLeod The Ottawa Citizen Saturday, July 09, 2005 LONDON - As British Muslim leaders intensified their condemnations of the terror strikes against the city, a London Islamic reformist was identified yesterday as the operator of the website al-Qaeda sympathizers used to claim responsibility for the carnage. The Evening Standard newspaper says London-based Saudi dissident Saad Al-Fagih, an Iraqi-born doctor and founder of the Movement for Islamic Reform in Arabia, runs the Al-Qal'ah Internet site used by a group calling itself the Secret Organization of al-Qaeda in Europe to claim responsibility for Thursday's attacks. Authorities have yet to verify the claim by the previously unknown group and Mr. Al-Fagih, 48, has denied involvement. But the newspaper said Mr. Al-Fagih has previously been linked to terrorism by U.S. officials. In December, his assets, including his comfortable suburban home, were frozen by the Bank of England after U.S. Treasury officials accused his website of being routinely used to transmit clandestine messages to groups affiliated with al-Qaeda and to potential new terror recruits, the newspaper said. The report comes as a rift appears to be surfacing between some of the city's hardline Muslims and religious and community leaders who have roundly condemned the attacks amid rising tensions about a possible backlash against their community. The London-based Islamic Human Rights Commission received a threatening e-mail yesterday morning, said Massoud Shadjareh, the group's chairman. "A gentleman said: 'I hope some football hooligan is going to kill as many of you guys as possible.' " Hours later and with scores of police standing guard, hundreds of Muslims gathered yesterday for prayers at the city's notorious Finsbury Park mosque -- accused in recent years of links to Muslim terror suspects. Officially known as the North London Central Mosque, its extremist cleric, Abu Hamza, was charged by British authorities last year with, among other things, inciting the killing of Jews and other non-Muslims. Those charges have delayed his possible extradition to the U.S., where he is wanted on terrorism charges. Though the vast majority of those who attend the mosque are law-abiding, peaceful Muslims, its other worshippers have included "shoe-bomber" Richard Reid, who tried to blow up a flight to the U.S. a few years ago; Zacarias Moussaoui, a French national who is the only person convicted so far in connection with the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks; Djamel Beghal, accused of plotting terrorist attacks in France; and Feroz Abbasi, a Briton detained by the U.S. at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The mosque is so infamous here, that a cab driver refused to take this reporter there yesterday. But given the rising anger among Britons over this week's attacks, the mosque adopted a conciliatory public tone yesterday. Speaking to reporters after prayers, spokesman Mohammed Kozbar said mosque leaders urged followers, "to show their anger and their concern about what has happened and, that this has nothing to do with Islam as a religion. "We're pretty sure that some of (those who carried out the attacks) will be Muslims. We hope that these people will be caught and brought to justice. Our advice to the community is to keep quiet and calm and live their lives as usual." But as Mr. Kozbar spoke, Ahamed Uddin, 26, handed out leaflets nearby to people leaving the prayer service to support a group calling itself Hizb ut-Tahrir, dedicated to liberation of Islamic lands from western powers. "Stay strong and firm to Islam," it read, adding western politicians and the media are using this week's attacks, "to further the spread of suspicion against our community. "Britain could become a new frontline in the conflict between Islamic militants and the West," Muhammad Saalah, an expert on militancy at the pan-Arab newspaper Al-Hay-at said this week. "It has become harder for militants to reach the United States. That makes Britain a more tempting target, especially because the militants have had a long time to establish networks there."
