The transformation of four young British men into terrorists appears to have taken place at a government-funded storefront youth centre in Leeds that, according to youth workers, was a hub of radical Islamist activity.
The centre was sealed off and searched by police yesterday after three of its workers said in an interview on the street outside that at least two of the suicide bombers had been "very regular" visitors at all hours to the Hamara Youth Access Point, and a third had been seen there occasionally.
"It had become so radical and so hateful that I asked if I could stop working there," said one of the workers, who along with two others described the storefront drop-in centre as a hub of radical Muslim politics and a hotbed of Islamic organizing, routinely hosting mysterious figures to speak about extremist politics.
And who is the hero of this youth centre?
On its walls were posters from the Respect Party, an extremist pro-Islamic party founded by MP George Galloway, that showed Israeli soldiers pointing rifles at Palestinian children. When some workers complained about these, they were harassed by other staffers.
No doubt Galloway is proud of the terrorists he supports. Which brings up an interesting point. Would Galloway be prosecuted under new powers instigated by Charles Clarke?
British Home Secretary Charles Clarke instigated a review of his powers to exclude and deport people likely to incite terrorism, the paper reported.
I doubt it. They didn't prosecute him when he urged British troops to commit treason.
