Al-Qaeda targets UK muslims in new terror campaign from The Scotsman


ONE of al-Qaeda’s top officials has ordered the killing of Muslim leaders if they co-operate with intelligence services and the police to thwart terrorist attacks.

In a message to the followers of Osama bin Laden around the world, Abdul Aziz al-Muqrin, the new leader of the terror network in Saudi Arabia, listed Muslim clerics "who co-operate with the enemy" as one of the top two targets for future attacks.

The warning of attacks on clerics came just three days after the Muslim Council of Britain decided to write to every mosque in the country urging them to help police fight terrorism and to be alert for possible illegal activities, a message welcomed by Tony Blair.

Yesterday, the council, which speaks for the moderate majority of British Muslims, said it would not be intimidated by the threats. Inayat Bunglawala, a spokesman for the Muslim Council, said: "Unfortunately, al-Qaeda knows nothing better than the language of death and destruction and Islam is about mercy."

See, that wasn't so hard was it Mr. Bunglawala? Now make the news and chat show rounds with some other Muslim leaders and do the same thing.

Anyone see this on the SCBBC or in the Guardian? No? Didn't think so.
