View Full Version : Six to be sentenced for terrorism offences

LONDON (Reuters) - Six British Muslim men were due to be sentenced on Friday after being found guilty of inciting acts of terrorism or raising money for terrorist purposes.

Among them was Omar Brooks, also known as Abu Izzadeen, a man who leapt to public attention in 2006 when he heckled then Home Secretary John Reid in front of television cameras.

Thursday's guilty verdicts followed a three-month trial at Kingston Crown Court in Surrey.

One of the six jumped bail while the jury was considering its verdict and is being hunted by police.

"These are extremely serious offences. The overwhelming majority of people totally reject the deeply offensive views peddled by these defendants," said John McDowall, head of the Metropolitan Police Service's Counter Terrorism Command.

"They deliberately set out to incite people to carry out terrorist acts."

The charges arise from speeches and preaching the men were involved in at London's Regents Park Mosque on November 9, 2004.

The court was told that the men had gone to the mosque to observe Ramadan. During the late afternoon and evening their speeches became progressively more inflammatory.

The men called on people to fight British and American forces in Iraq and to donate money to fund terrorism.

Police were called to the mosque in the evening by security staff who were concerned about the activities of the men and the content of their speeches.

During searches of a property following the Danish cartoon protests in central London in February 2006, police discovered video tapes of some of the speeches made by the men in the November 2004 incident.

UK cant afford another bomb attack made by misunderstood young religious men. So they do what they should do. The safety of brittish citizens is most important.

They were inciting terrorism. One of them said something like 'terrorism is part and parcel of Islam' and went on to talk about how Muslims should attack and terrorise non-Muslims.

it gets me angry because
they overlook their own terrorism
And, as evidenced by your post, Muslims overlook their own terrorism as well.

The thing is that muslims wouldnt tolerate people calling to crusade in the muslim country, so you shouldnt expect that people would be allowed to call for jihad in the middle of Europe.

That rather depends on your point of view as to what constitutes "aid" and who are the "oppressors".

aid = help fight off those who have unjustly invaded the lands of the muslims (iraq/afghanistan/palestine)


oppressors = mostly american/british and israelli's

Muslims inciting violent acts -> supporting muslims.

do you really believe this?
don't you think that there really are muslims who do bad things?
granted that they are a minority, but they do indeed exist.
this is not to say that others (including governments such as my own) don't do bad things too.
do you think that muslims who do bad things shouldn't be criticized by muslims?

^ Some Muslims do exist like that (even if its a minority).

This is why it is up to the rest of the Muslims to convey the right message of Islaam :)

No, not all muslims do violent acts. However I wasnt the first who so casually called them brothers. And I admit in the heat of the moment I used wrong wording there, but seriously how should the following view be criticised properly?

Incite violence -> support muslims.

Let's deconstruct and view this through the skewed lens of my personal morality.

The men called on people to fight British and American forces in Iraq
Okay. The fact that it's British and American forces rather than civilians is, well, excusable. War and all that. The fact that the speeches were being given in Britain, essentially encouraging the listeners to become traitors? Less so. A lot less so.

...and to donate money to fund terrorism.
Okay. No-no. I define terrorism as the reckless or deliberate killing of civilians, which I don't justify, and don't think should be justified or invoked, whoever the person responsible or whatever the circumstances.

My statement was general in meaning, and no - i don't support that innocents should be killed.


But what i do believe is that any form of collecting money in support of innocent Muslims, such as Palestine, Bosnia etc. it is automatically counted as something suspicious, and that's what i really find sad. (that's what i meant in my first post without going into detail.)

I don't see what's wrong with collecting charity money to help people either. But these people were not collecting charity money, they were collecting money to give to millitant groups and terrorists, the kind who set up roadside bombs and kill policemen and Iraqi army soldiers and ordinary people shopping. they are also fighting against Britian, which makes collecting money for them treason, a capital offense in some circumstances.

i don't know about this specific case - was it proven that the money was going for terrorist causes, as opposed to humanitarian causes?
i do think sometimes people are afraid to give money now to causes like helping the palestinian children, etc.

Cripes. this thread is so due to head down the pan.
Simply take a look at who is responsible for deaths in Afganistan and Iraq. Its so simple to do. Good luck.

Yup, six people intent of slaughtering civilains in this country, for no purpose, for no reason.
Lets see who excuses and jumps to the defence of butchers. Lets see who condems wanton murder in the name of politics and religion.

If guilty, I would say bang em up for life. Preferably with swimsuit wearing gaurds.

Spot on. The army takes its chances. It does its job trying to protect the civilains from the suicide market butchers, and the extremists cause death where they can find it at a rate of 70 muslims to each Kuffar.

They still manage to keep this facade of respectability because. Hey ...they blew up the marketplace killing 120 Muslims and wounding 200 muslims, but at least theyre not Kuffar. (Thats the Kuffar thats trying to kill the gunmen by the way)

I hope you said that without realising what it is that he's said:

He visited Pakistan in 2001, before the September 11 attacks, as part of Al-Muhajiroun; he claims he went there to give a series of lectures. He also claimed to have attended terror training camps in Afghanistan.[4][5]

He described the 7/7 suicide bombers in London as "completely praiseworthy".[7]

On the eve of the anniversary of the 7/7 attacks in London, he was filmed preaching to a group of Muslims in Birmingham (UK) mocking and laughing at the victims of 9/11 and threatening further terror attacks in the UK.[8]

He has openly stated that he wishes to die as a suicide bomber.[9]

On 20 September 2006, Abu Izadeen and Anjem Choudary disrupted Home Secretary John Reid's first public meeting with Muslims since his appointment. He called Reid an "enemy" of Islam.[10]. John Humphrys interviewed Izzadeen on the 22 September 2006 edition of BBC Radio 4's Today programme. In a heated discussion Abu Izadeen stated that his aim was for the UK to become an Islamic state and that this should be achieved without following the democratic process.[11]

In early February 2007, ITV broadcast a video made in the summer of 2004 that was discovered on a password-protected website by Glen Jenvey. In the video Abu Izadeen told his audience in Regents Park Mosque, to murder British and American Muslim soldiers:

"Whoever allies himself with the Kaffirs against the believers - he is one of them. So those so-called enemies to Allah who join the British Government - 'cos remember the British Government, my dear Muslim brothers, are crusaders... crusaders come to kill and rape Muslims. Whoever joins them - he who joins the British Army, the American Army, he is a mortal kaffir and his only hukum (punishment) is for his head to be removed. Indeed, whoever changes his deen (religious way of life); kill him."[12][13]
