Islamist Muslim planned jihad

British Islamist Muslim planned jihad, court testimony states

Duncan Gardham with the London Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday, Feb. 5, on an Islamist Muslim preacher, already a noted anti-government heckler, charged in a jihad terror plot.

Trevor Brooks, with the Islamic alias, Omar Brooks Abu Izzadeen, is one of seven defendants in a terrorism plot to recruit Muslims into a factional group to fight British soldiers and raise money for global terrorism.

Defense claims include arguments of the 2007 arrests being “politically motivated.” 

In a video played to the jury, one of the accused, Abdul Rehman Saleem, praised Osama bin Laden and said Islam was a "religion of terrorism.”

"Terrorism against the kufar, terrorism against those that terrorize us, terrorism against those that terrorize our women and children. Yes we have terrorized them so when they call you terrorist, be proud to have that title,” Saleem said.

As the audience at Regents Park Mosque, central London, joined in, he chanted: "Oh Allah support Sheikh Osama, Oh Allah destroy America.

"Destroy the kufar wherever they are,” he added. “Let their blood run in the mountains of Afghanistan, let their women become widows, may their children become orphans, let them be bombed. Let death come to them by the hands of the mujahideen."

Kingston Crown Court, in south-west London, was told that the speakers referred to the September 11 hijackers as the "magnificent 19" and the audience clapped those who had "chosen to answer the call by becoming martyrs.”

When police arrived, after being called by mosque security staff, they were forced from the building by the angry crowd.

Along with Brooks, 32, and Saleem, 32, the other speakers included Shah Jalal Hussain, 25, Rajib Khan, 29, and Simon Keeler, 36, who called himself "Suliman.”

The speeches were recorded Nov. 9, 2004, the day after US forces tried to retake control of the Iraqi city of Fallujah - attacks referred to by the speakers.

It’s interesting to note the DVD recording of the speeches was recovered in a raid on Sheikh Omar Bakri’s London home in March 2006 on the heels of protests against Danish cartoons.

Bakri led the al-Muhajiroun group; he and Brooks, Saleem, Keeler, Khan and Ibrahim Abdullah Hassan, 25, are charged with inciting terrorism.

Maybe if they had found a rural area, say in Scottland, for a terrorist training camp, local authorities would have named a street in Sheikh Bakri’s honor and left them alone.

Oh, and by the way, other DVDs of the goings and sayings of other Sheikhs are surfacing – stay tuned…
