UK - Center of the Jihadist World

While Iraq is the center for the war on terror, the UK remains a key player for the jihadists - there's a reason they call it Londonistan.

On the first anniversary of the 7/7 Muslim terror attacks on London, Muslims are holding a seminar and conference to "...discuss ways to prevent a repetition of the attacks and the reasons behind them. " In fact, the seminar is being organized by Muslim terrorists.

One week after the Muslim terror attack on London, National Review Online took a look at "Londonistan". In that report NRO details the deep roots of al Qaeda in Britain and notes this:

Another cleric, Omar Bakri Mohammed, was the leader of the extremist British group al-Muhajiroun, which according to the British government has strong ties to terror. Bakri had written and published on his website an open letter to bin Laden, which was also read aloud at several mosques in 1999. In the letter Bakri offered his service to the al Qaeda leader. A year prior to that, bin Laden had faxed a letter to Bakri guiding him on the principles of jihad against the United States.


And Bakri is organizing the seminar to be held on the anniversary of the 7/7 Muslim terror attack on London.

Al Ghurabba, led by the controversial preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed, organizes the conference. He left London after the attacks to Beirut and has been forbidden from returning to Britain.


One year on and it's still Londonistan. Has Britain learned nothing?

In a lengthly article the New York Times takes a look at Londonistan one year on and finds not much has improved.

It's not a matter of if there will be more attacks, it's just a matter of when.

UPDATE

This Telegraph report agrees and says the attack may be a dirty bomb attack.

UPDATE

The Times (UK) reports on how the British government is actually empowering militant Muslims in the UK. Search my blog using MAB and MCB and you'll find their connections to terrorism.
