Hi Kids! Remember, Annihilate Those Who Insult Islam
This is a cross-post from Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens
Both on this blog and Harry’s Place, Moazzam Begg’s CagePrisoners (CP) group has featured fairly regularly – especially since one of their favourite ‘Sheikhs’, Anwar al-Awlaki, turned out to be an al-Qaeda supporter.
Although CP claims to campaign for raising ‘awareness of the plight of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and other detainees held as part of the War on Terror’, much of its website is dedicated to individuals convicted of terrorism offences in the UK. These people are not ‘detainees’ who are ‘held’, they are prisoners who are guilty of either trying to kill civilians, or encouraging others to do so.
In the website’s ‘From Behind Bars’ section, there are pages of letters from convicted Islamist terrorists, and in the case of Mohamed Hamid (aka Osama bin London), some stratospherically awful poetry.
Of course, there is no attempt by CP to remind us that they are reproducing the words of murderous fascists, and it all feels very sympathetic.
The latest in the series of letters provided by CP is this one from Abdul Muhid, where he thanks them for their help:
Thank you for passing my details to the Ummah who have sent comforting words of advice to me, in the form of letters and cards for Eid-ul-Fitr. There are many people who wrote to me but did not give me a return address to write to and thank them, a group of children from a playgroup sent me a Eid Card and signed it with the names Maryam, Sulaymaan, Mustapha Ibraheem & Abdullah, if you know who they are please thank them on my behalf.
Considering that this is a letter ‘from behind bars’, this is likely to be the same Abdul Muhid who was jailed in 2007 after reportedly leading the Mohammed cartoon protests in central London during which, according to the BBC, he ‘chanted "Bomb, bomb the UK" and waved placards with slogans such as "Annihilate those who insult Islam".’ What is a group that purports to be a human rights organisation doing facilitating contact between a bloodthirsty maniac and young children?
If an organisation that was sympathetic to the far-right was found to be putting kids in touch with violent white supremacists behind bars, they would be rightly shut down and investigated. Make no mistake about it: Abdul Muhid is no different to the most vile far-right fascists. The fact that his middlemen at CP held an event in Parliament only last month suggests that many people have yet to understand this.
HP adds: on 22 February Moazzam Begg will be welcomed at SOAS by the university’s Islamic society. He will give a lecture titled “Justice in Islam”.

Abdul Muhid, is of course, the same Abdul Muhid who was arrested in 2005 for proclaiming in the street that British soldiers and homosexuals should be killed. Despite the police having witnesses ready to testify, the CPS refused to prosecute, on the grounds that it would be impossible to establish that Mr Muhid and not some other bearded Muslim had made the comments.
Muhid and the others at the cartoon protests were only convicted after a very tardy process following arrests which only followed a public outcry when the government and police initially described the cartoon protests as ‘peaceful’.
The British establishment is very reluctant to prosecute Islamists who incite murder, and the CPS is positively defensive of them. The constant complaints about harassment of Muslims by the state is a public pantomime. The Islamists are hand in glove with the British state to a far greater degree than is acknowledged or understood.

It’s the “Religion of Peace”.
And the maniacs of Islam will (if given the chance) slaughter “Anyone” who says it isn’t.
“Justice in Islam”.
Which Islam, the one that believes that “Allah’s” Law overrules man made Law or the other Islam.
Hold on a moment, I am confused, I must be getting old and forgetful or something, you see I can’t for the Life of me remember what the “other” Islam actually is.
Maybe one of the really smart intellectuals could tell me what the other “Islam” stands for.
Is it the Egyptian form of Islam, Ba’ath party Islam, Indonesian, Malayan, Saudi Islam, which one doesn’t believe that the Koran is the “Final and Unalterable word of God”?
“Abdul Muhid is no different to the most vile far-right fascists.”
Hmm, I would agree but there are some people who may question the “is no different to the most vile far-right fascists” part of your post, obviously Abdul Muhid and his mates Must be different, Abdul Muhid and his mates don’t all carry fasces or wear swastika armbands, Abdul Muhid and his mates don’t all speak German or Italian, Abdul Muhid and his mates don’t all openly call for the worlds Jews to be exterminated, just the Israeli ones apparently and Abdul Muhid and his mates don’t all want to conquer the world and force everyone to follow their vile inhuman ideology, apparently.
As I say, I agree that they are “no different to the most vile far-right fascists” but one must not muddy the waters, they are not “exactly” the same, apparently.

I would favour the death penalty based solely on the quality of that poetry.

Stanislaw, the nutters have declared death on themselves. OK they take out decent human beings on their way to whatever nonsense they believe in. That has always happened historically. Just get on with exposing the idiots.

… Abdul Muhid and his mates don’t all openly call for the worlds Jews to be exterminated, just the Israeli ones apparently and Abdul Muhid and his mates don’t all want to conquer the world and force everyone to follow their vile inhuman ideology, apparently…
They do occasionally call for all the Jews to be exterminated, but admittedly they don’t seem to care about it very much and they change their tune on that one. And they definately want to conquer the world and force everyone to follow their vile inhuman idiology, Sheikh Ahmed Ismail Hassan Yassin (the “spiritual leader of Hamas”) was very clear on that point, though perhaps not often enough to get people’s attention.
In any case all you can say is that someone who’s only against a fascist if he’s white is enough of a racist to be a Nazi anyway. Paternalistic (or should I say maternalistic) racism is no better than other forms of racism – just look at the results.

So when your happy Lib Dem prospective candidate calls round at the coming election remind the twat that, that piss head of an ex leader of theirs shared a platform with these arseoles on the famous anti war rally. He was filmed with a palastine properganda poster behind him. And the current leader has no understanding of middle east politics. Dont even mention why they promoted Tonge the terrible.
How about a lecture title: “Under their noses and in their face: How the stupid Kuffar doesn’t get Islamic Terror and Jihad”
