Taliban behind attack at Iranian Consulate.

Proving once and for all that allegations by British and US officials regarding Iran's role in Afghanistan are baseless!

The Taliban were behind the recent terrorist attack on Iran’s Consulate in Kandahar, said an informed source in Foreign Ministry. He noted that it was the second terrorist attack on Iran’s diplomatic mission in Afghanistan after the bombing of a car belonging to Iran’s Consulate, Fars reported.

The source described such hostile measures by Taliban against Iran as evidence that allegations by British and US officials regarding Iran’s role in Afghanistan are baseless.

Here's the real funny:

The British and the US media, including Jane’s Terrorism and Security Monitor (a subsidiary of Jane’s Defence), have expressed doubt about the allegations of US military officials on Iran’s interference in Afghanistan. The deny seeing any evidence of Iranians’ assistance to Afghan opposition groups.

Scotland: State funded Madrassas?

Och. If you can't beat them, join them?


Recent remarks by a spokesman for Scottish education secretary Fiona Hyslop supporting state-funded Muslim schools has sparked a fresh debate in Scotland over the question. Islamic schools raise a series of issues relating to equal opportunities, integration and school autonomy, the Youth Counselling Services Agency (YCSA)'s chief executive Anwari Din told Adnkronos International (AKI).


"It certainly is an issue of granting equal opportunities for all, but we must also be aware of the risk of such schools becoming divisive,” Din told AKI.“However, if people want these schools, then the provision of public funding might constitute an important form of check on their curriculums,” she added.

UK: Lock 'em up and throw away the key...

Now here's a War on Terror idea that I can really get behind... Gitmo on the Thames. After all, Germany is now talking about doing the same thing.

Police in Unlimited Detention Plea.

Police chiefs are demanding the power to lock up terror suspects indefinitely, it has emerged. Reopening the debate over detention without trial, the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) called for some suspects to be held for "as long as it takes".

al-Guardian's take. Complete with outraged lefty response.

The lefties are going to bellyache about this for a while so they might as well lock up this guy in the interim. Fixer for 7/21 plot free in London.

A SUSPECTED Al-Qaeda operative who is believed by MI5 to have played a key role in the events leading up to the July 21 failed bombings is at liberty and living in east London. Mohammed al-Ghabra, a 27-year-old Syrian who has been given British citizenship, is said by security sources to have arranged for the leader of the failed 21/7 London suicide attacks to travel to Pakistan for terrorist training.

Laying Siege to the Queen

I saw this headline and thought, "Oh, they must be increasing security around the Queen, what the Rushdie affair and increased AQ/Islam-o-nutter chatter and all.

Imagine my surprise to find out that they were talking about Gordon Brown laying siege to her powers.

MEMBERS of Parliament will no longer have to swear allegiance to the Queen under constitutional reforms put forward by one of Gordon Brown’s closest advisers.

The blueprint, produced by the Prime Minister’s special adviser Michael Jacobs, would also turn the British into “citizens,” rather than “subjects,” and could even spell the end for our national anthem.

Downing Street last night distanced itself from the controversial ideas, saying there were no plans to adopt them. A spokesman said Mr Jacobs advised the Prime Minister on environmental issues (ed.note: Figures.) rather than constitutional affairs.

But critics pointed out that Mr Brown had already moved quickly to adopt key parts of the Jacobs plan, including ending the Royal Prerogative and having the Gov­ernment’s programme laid out by the Prime Minister in the Commons rather than the Queen at the annual state opening of Parliament.

Royal sources said the Queen was already alarmed by the pace of change under the Brown regime.

( One can only wonder what she thought of Jacqui Smith's liberal display of cleavage during her first speech to Parliament... "Labor," she said with a sniff.)

In other UK govt news: Race chief may quit in row over Brown's All White cabinet.

Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Commission for Equality and Human Rights, also criticised the Prime Minister after he appointed two Muslims as Ministers but failed to give them ministerial salaries.

Olympic Mega Mosque linked to recent UK bomb plots

Way to go, Always on watch. This is a great find. Olympics mega-mosque linked to London and Glasgow car bomb plots: Arrested suspects radicalised by mosque promoters Tablighi Jamaat

“Government must ban construction of mega-mosque” says Cllr Alan Craig

Newham councillor Alan Craig today called on the government to formally ban the construction of a massive mosque on a site less than a mile from the main 2012 Olympic stadium at Stratford, east London.

Reports that Tablighi Jamaat - the fundamentalist Islamic sect who propose to build the mosque as their international headquarters - are directly responsible for radicalising two of the London and Glasgow car bomb suspects has added to suspicions that the sect are not the peaceable group they claim to be.

“The dangerous truth about Tablighi Jamaat is coming out. We must watch the gap between what they say and what they do,” said Cllr Craig, leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance group on Newham Council, who lives with his young family a mile from the mosque site.” It will be a horrendous security nightmare if they are allowed to build this large mosque so close to the Olympics.”

The family says that these guys changed after hooking up with this bunch. Read it all at Always on Watch.

Grand Ayatollah: Wah! UK provoked us with that Rushdie business

Sky News:

Britain has provoked al Qaeda into a possible terror attack by knighting Salman Rushdie, one of Iran's top religious leaders has exclusively told Sky News. The terror group has warned there will be a retaliatory strike against the UK following the novelist's honour. In response, Iran's Grand Ayatollah Saanei has told Sky News:

"When your Queen awards Salman Rushdie and turns him into a knight, what do you expect? This is a blasphemy. This is an insult to all the prophets of the world. Apart from the fact that this issue insults all the religions of the world, the terrorists can use this as a pretext and do something against Britain. This act of the Queen was a very, very vast action against Islam."



There's video of this joker at the link. As I was watching it all I could think about was hitting him right in the old mufti with a cream pie. How's that for provocation, possums?

Well, that's a fine how do you do...

Who knew the Army of Islam had a Complete Etiquette Guide to Hostage Taking?

It seems that certain members of the Army of Islam have their kaffiyehs in a knot at Alan Johnston's for not being sufficiently grateful to them for being held captive at gunpoint for four months. "He didn't even say thanks," they grouse.

The kidnappers expressed bizarre resentment that Johnston, 45, had done nothing to thank them for their hospitality while they held him at gunpoint in a tiny cell.

“We used to give him everything he wanted,” Abu Zobayer, an aide to Dagmoush, said.

“We spent £70 on his food every week. The Matouk restaurant [one of the best eateries in Gaza] got rich because we had to feed him.”

Johnston has said that he fell ill from the food he was served. Zobayer commented: “It’s not our problem that we gave him everything and he only ate a little.”

Although they did not torture him physically, the kidnappers seemed to have no concept of the psychological torture they were inflicting on the BBC correspondent.

“We had people with him all the time to try to help him to relax,” said Zobayer.

“We gave him a radio so that he could listen to his own channel. I myself sat with him to try to make him feel comfortable and feel that he will be released.”

UK: Juror held in contempt for music under hajib (sic)

Hey, It's The Sun, what do you expect?

ANOTHER indication of the respect the average Muslim has for the United Kingdom and it's laws.

A MUSLIM woman juror could be facing jail after she was arrested in court for apparently listening to music during a murder trial.

She is said to have used a traditional hijab headscarf to hide earphones to her MP3 player while ignoring vital evidence from a retired businessman who brutally bludgeoned his disabled wife to death.

She has been accused of contempt, an offence which can carry an unlimited fine and indefinite imprisonment.

More about this "unidentified due to legal reasons" piece of work at the link - and she is definitely a piece of work. It did my heart good to at least see that they used the word "Muslim" in the piece - even if they did spell hijab wrong.

Sheik Google.

Just one more reason for me to hate Google: Modern Militant recruits himself.

According to an analysis from the Australian Federal Police counter-terrorism division, presented to a terrorism course in Sydney this week: "These extremists are previously unknown to authorities, exhibit no prior extremist tendencies publicly, do not associate with known extremists and are assimilated into the greater community. From all appearances and actions they are moderate members of society."

Their indoctrination and expertise comes from "Sheik Google" and the world wide web. "To a large extent, the internet has replaced actual training camps as a source of instruction and inspiration for militant Muslims," says the AFP analysis.

Everything they need can be found on the hundreds of extremist websites: how to make bombs, avoid surveillance, achieve physical fitness and justify violence on religious grounds
.
The internet is now "the greatest enabler of teaching, nurturing and sustenance of extremist jihadi ideology".

This was evidenced by recent terrorism raids in Australia, which recovered hundreds of "terabytes" of material - enough to fill several rooms up to the ceiling - downloaded from the internet.

It's sad but true. I hate google and yet, I use it shamelessly and boldly. Even worse - here I am on blogger! (although I've been thinking of moving onto another platform-warning techtard alert.)

Why do I hate Google? 9 times out of 10 I am unable to access Little Green Footballs when I click on an LGF link. Same with Power Line. But let a Jihadi scumbag try and hook up with say - plans for a nuclear bomb and bang! (literally) - they've got it. And I know it's because Google wants it that way.

Why do I use it shamelessly? Unfortunately, it's the only game in town.

I think there will come a time when the Crusaders (that means you and me, white man) will have to come up with an alternative. Until then, I say, Google be damned. Let's take the fight to the enemy using every tool at our disposal.)

And then there's wICKipedia. Sometimes you'll find me playing in that fever swamp.

UK bombings: Follow the money...Mohammed Haneef

Current jihadi money man
Former Walmart greeter

Did they find the bagman?

AUSTRALIAN authorities are investigating whether Gold Coast doctor Mohamed Haneef is part of a national sleeper cell of foreign doctors established here to fund overseas terrorist activities including the botched bomb attacks in the United Kingdom.

Federal and Queensland police are currently tracking overseas and local transactions from the bank accounts of Indian-born Dr Haneef who was the eighth suspect arrested over the attacks in London and Glasgow late last month, law enforcement sources said.

Each overseas transaction is believed to be below $10,000 which would avoid any scrutiny from AUSTRAC – a Federal Government regulator of transactions of $10,000 or more.

If the funds can be directly linked to terrorist activity, UK authorities could extradite Dr Haneef, 27, who remains in custody at the Brisbane police watchhouse.

Yesterday, as a bomb squad opened his locker at the Gold Coast Hospital, it turned out not to be his and it turned out to be clean. This is most interesting:

The Sunday Mail can also reveal that police are examining signature stamps found in computer software on Dr Haneef's laptop which was seized during raids at his Gold Coast unit last Tuesday. Police suspect the stamps, believed to be of Indian origin, may be from an overseas university.

Law enforcement sources said the discovery of the stamps has sparked concerns that they could be used to falsify documents. It is understood an AFP officer will travel to India to trace the origin of the stamps.

God bless the Aussies. It sounds like they are all over this guy like a cheap suit.

Dr Haneef's every association and movement since his arrival in Australia last year will come under scrutiny as police seek to determine whether a terror cell had taken hold here. With no scenario ruled out, flight schools will be contacted to see if Dr Haneef was taking flying lessons and Gold Coast internet cafes will be checked.

Up to 50 specialist investigators from Queensland police's State Crime Operations Command and forensic units are working on the investigation with the Australian Federal Police.

The FBI yesterday confirmed a report Dr Haneef had sought to work at a US hospital last year prior to coming to Australia.

Haneef and Jordanian neurologist Mohammed Jamil Asha (the islam-o-nutjob arrested with his wife in Manchester), tried to work the Philadelphia angle to get into the US.

We keep getting better and better at rounding them up, now we need to get better at keeping them from even getting started. A.) Don't let them in. B.) Stop accommodating the ones that are here. Any other suggestions?

Glasgow: Bomber so burnt his mobile melted into his body.

That's hot!

Kafeel Ahmed - 1986

or so says The Times of India.

They also keep throwing the word "allegedly" around when they describe the actions of this evil idiot. Like we didn't all see him doing it! Sometimes they really carry this presumed innocent business too far especially when it comes to acts of terror. It if walks like a duck, etc.

Kafeel Ahmed, the Indian engineer who allegedly drove a blazing jeep into the Glasgow airport, had left a suicide note at his house, a media report said on Sunday amid claims that he had links with a senior Al-Qaeda operative.

Old Kafeel was "allegedly" radicalized by Hizb ut-Tahrir back in 2004 while he was doing research at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge. He's chummy with Al Qaeda bombmaker Abbas Boutrab and they may have belonged to the same AQ cell in "the quiet base" of Ireland. Oh and he also had jihadi materials in his possession.

More juicy bits at the link, including this:

...The disclosure will raise fresh questions over the extent of information held by Mi5, the British Intelligence Service, on suspects involved in the attempted car bomb attacks.

... Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorism Command SO15 is understood to have uncovered evidence that in the months leading up to the attacks one or more of the suspects communicated by telephone or e-mail with terrorist leaders in Iraq.

....Details of the Al-Qaeda role in the three failed car bombings are expected to emerge over the next few days.

...The development suggests that intelligence received by Mi5, British Intelligence Service, earlier this year about a possible Al-Qaeda attack to mark Blair's departure was accurate. A report in April by the Joint Terrorism Analysis Centre (JTAC) warned that a senior Iraqi Al-Qaeda commander had outlined details of a big attack in Britain. The report said the commander "stressed the need to take care to ensure the attack was successful and on a large scale". It was aimed "ideally" to take place before Blair stepped down. It said JTAC which is based at Mi5's London headquarters, was "aware that AQ-I (Al Qaeda in Iraq)... networks are active in the UK".

UK Dhimmis spring into action! Can't bend over fast enough.

From the Scotsman: Muslims are welcomed as the 'latest of Jock Tamson's bairns.'

KENNY MacAskill, the Cabinet secretary for justice, embraced Scotland's muslim community as "the latest of Jock Tamson's bairns" yesterday in an attempt to heal any divisions caused by the terrorist attack in Glasgow. (this in itself is ludicrous on its face.)

Mr MacAskill praised the muslim community during a visit to the Edinburgh Central Mosque, insisting that Scotland had a long history of welcoming people from different countries and religions.

He said he wanted "to pay respect to the muslim community in Scotland, to recognise they are a vital factor in 21st century Scotland, they are just the latest of Jock Tamson's bairns."

The Justice Secretary also condemned acts of retaliation and vandalism against the muslim community after the Glasgow airport attack. Mr MacAskill said: "Any incident is an incident too many.

"Police, prosecution and government will not countenance anybody seeking to vent their racist spleen on individuals."

Oh, cry me a river you big bunch of Muslim babies.

So what's been happening in the racist spleen dept that required a "special meeting"????

A MOSQUE was targeted in a revenge attack for the Glasgow strike, it was feared yesterday. An estate agents next to the Islamic centre in Bathgate, West Lothian, was attacked on Sunday night when what appeared to be a petrol bomb was thrown through a window...

Shami Khan, a community activist and an Edinburgh city councillor until the May elections, said last night: "People will be victimised and there will be a backlash after the Glasgow attack."...

Jalal Chaudry, a spokesman for the Edinburgh Muslim community, said anti-Muslim graffiti had been spotted in Edinburgh. He had been to an emergency meeting of Muslim leaders, also attended by Alex Salmond and the justice minister, Kenny McAskill, in Glasgow on Sunday.

The difference between us and them...

From the off-duty officer that hosed off the Muslim petrol bomber:

Bravo, Officer Ferguson...well done.

"...Ahmed, 27, who doused himself in petrol and set himself alight in the attack, was saved by an off-duty British police officer who hosed him down.

'It never entered my consciousness to walk away from the guy - I would have been failing in my duty to preserve life - and it doesn't matter whose life that is at the end of the day,' the officer, Stewart Ferguson, has said.

Also from the article...Australian hospitals searched, laptops seized. Looks like there are doctors in the house.

Investigators in Australia, where Indian doctor Mohammed Haneef, 27, is being held, Friday searched hospitals in connection with the botched attacks.

They said laptops and telephones were seized in Perth and Sydney as counter-terrorism police investigated a possible network of Muslim militants.

But Federal Police Commissioner Mick Keelty stressed that only one person was in custody and that no charges had been brought.

And in India...
Indian police Friday questioned the families of three Indian suspects as the authorities in Bangalore said they had launched a full investigation into the terrorist plot.

UK's Brown: 'I now propose to surrender..."

This guy is even worse than I thought.

Hat tip Free Republic... Brown surrenders war powers to Parliament.

In his first statement to the House of Commons since assuming power last week, Brown said he would surrender to Parliament 12 powers traditionally reserved for the prime minister under the "Royal prerogative," including the power to declare war, along with the power to dissolve the House, and the right to appoint judges and bishops.

"I now propose to surrender or limit these powers to make for a more open 21st century British democracy which better serves the British people," he told MPs, to loud Labour cheers.

Taxi driver helps fill in the blanks in Scottish blast

Tax-i!

As the evening wore on, it transpired that a local taxi firm, Paisley Cab Company, had been unwittingly transporting the alleged bombers in the days leading up the attack.

One member of staff said: "The police interviewed us and put some names to us. They wanted to know if they had used our services in the last five or six weeks. I was able to confirm they had."

One suspect is understood to have made a total of 19 journeys with the company, between 21 May and 28 June.

The majority were taken to and from the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley and an address in nearby Houston, with one journey to Glasgow airport on 13 June.

I don't know, I'm not feeling too charitable after that Glasgow bombing

Islamic Relief launches Action for Africa appeal. Take their case to Scottish Parliament.

Officials from British Muslim charity, Islamic Relief, have appealed to the Scottish parliament to help raise awareness of the humanitarian impact of conflict and famine in areas such as Darfur, Niger, Mali and Somalia. Makki Hamid, Islamic Relief’s Head of Africa Region, was part of the team briefing Scottish MPs after returning from Darfur, Niger and Mali.

"The situation in Darfur is chaotic - at least 20 groups are fighting each other, while the ancient reconciliation process based on the traditional tribal system has been destroyed by years of military regime,” Hamid told Adnkronos International (AKI) in an interview."Contrarily to how it is portrayed in the media, this conflict is not a religious one, such as the one in Southern Sudan, where it is Muslims against Christians. This [Darfur] is Muslims fighting other Muslims over resources and unresolved land disputes between farmers and nomads,” he said.

Oh - like that makes it different? It's still Muslim nutjobs going off. Even worse, listen to this reference to the dhimmis in Westminister.

The visit to the Scottish parliament, which was promoted by the first Muslim Scottish MP, Bashir Ahmad, included a presentation of the charity’s activities in Africa and a questions-and -answers session with a group of parliamentarians.Habib Malik, Islamic Relief’s coordinator for Scotland, welcomed the opportunity to speak at the Scottish Parliament and said this kind of initiatives should be “of inspiration for what is done down at Westminster (Seat of the English parliament).”

And get a load of this line of Islamospeak...

“Islamic charities can play a fundamental role there because they have a better understanding of people’s needs, and not only the material ones.” “We use quotes from the Koran to persuade them that Islam does not support any of their violence,” he said.

Charity begins at home. Perhaps instead of going to Africa they could use some of those quotes on the ones who are blowing all that stuff up in the UK.

Father of Taliban denied British Visa

Jesus. I should hope so.

The British High Commission in Islamabad has denied visa to the hardline Muslim senator and chief of the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam, Maulana Samiul-Haq.

Dubbed "the father of the Taliban" because many Taliban, including Mullah Omar, were schooled in a madrassa he ran, Haq had applied for the visa to attend the multi-party conference scheduled to be held in London this month. A press release issued in Peshawar on Sunday said the High Commission had given Maulana Haq a charge sheet and even barred him from filing an appeal against the decision. The party has requisitioned a meeting of the Standing Committee of the house to discuss the issue.

(So pretty, isn't he? He also advocates the killing of Salman Rushdie and is one of the dirty nutbags calling for the knighting of OBL.)

Salman Rushdie linkage to UK bombings? Gee, ya think?

The real reason the Muzzies hate Salman? They're jealous of his lovely wife, Padma

It has become quite clear that the media would rather play up the Iraq-War-terror-tactic-moving-to-our-shores angle than focus on the Salman Rushdie angle.



Despite things like this:



Police say there was no prior indication of a possible terrorist threat - yet it has emerged that a message appeared on a popular jihadist website on Thursday night seemingly predicting an attack.


Hours before police dismantled the first car bomb, a posting on the Al Hesbah chat forum pointed to an imminent Al Qaeda bombing in London.


The message, posted under the name Abu Osama al-Hazeen, gave the invasion of Iraq and the recent knighthood for Salman Rushdie as justification for a fresh terrorist attack on Britain.



Al-Hazeen wrote: "Is Britain longing for Al Qaeda's bombings? We, and the whole world has seen what Britain has done ... their intention to honour Salman Rushdie who insulted and slandered Islam. This 'honouring' came at a crucial time, a time when the whole nation is reeling from the Crusaders attacks on all Muslim lands.



"The British capital has witnessed blessed operations that shook it to its foundations. This was because the British had attacked the lands of Muslims and Al Qaeda is still threatening to strike against Britain to throw it out of the lands of Islam. But now, there's yet another reason for Al Qaeda to carry out such threats; the honouring of the apostate Salman Rushdie by the Crusaders ... Rushdie who insulted Islam ... and this reason has led Muslims to become even more sympathetic with the Mujahideen.


"The question now is: Has London longed for the bombings of Al Qaeda? We say to Britain, the Emir of Al Qaeda, Sheikh Osama, has once threatened you, and he carried out his threats.
"Today I say: Rejoice ... By Allah London shall be bombed."


Another poster on the forum responded: "Amen - we pray to Allah that the development of such operations would be under way." "Amen - O Allah make us witness this soon."


Al-Hazeen replied: "Victory is very close - but you are just rushing it!"
