Two "males" charged for terror plots in Britain

That's it: we've got to monitor all British men. Otherwise another July 7 attack is inevitable. Monitor Males Now!
"Terrorism: Two Charged In Britain," from AKI,
London, 27 June (AKI) - A 21-year-old male from the northern British city of Bradford and a 28-year-old man from London are to appear in court on charges under Britain's Terrorism 2000 Act. The 21-year-old is accused of conspiracy to murder and to cause public nuisance by use of poisons and/or explosives to cause disruption, fear or injury. The unspecified charges against the 28-year-old, also arrested during the same international terrorism investigation, relate to a separate matter, Britain's West Yorkshire police stressed, quoted by the Guardian newspaper.
Both men were arrested on 6 June in an operation linked to the detention of a man at Manchester Airport in northern Britain. The arrests were not related to the controversial 2 June police raid on a house in Forest Gate, east London during which a young Muslim man, Abdul Kahar was accidentally shot in a struggle with armed police as they searched for a suspected chemical bomb last Friday. There was also no connection to last year's coordinated 7 July suicide bombings of central London's transport system, police said.
Also on Tuesday, two people were arrested by anti-terrorism police during a series of dawn raids on several properties in the northern British town of Bolton, police said, adding that the operation was not linked to any other recent anti-terrorism raids. Police did not release any further details of the arrests, but the suspects are believed to be male, the Independent newspaper reported.

Fury at suicide bomb rap

A RECORD label has banned the release of a new rap album because it contains songs about suicide bombers and Osama bin Laden.
The left-wing group Fun-Da-Mental — led by radical Muslim Aki Nawaz — had planned to release the album next month.
But two bosses at Nation Records threatened to resign if the record, which promotes the "benefits" of jihad, or holy war, came out.
Now the rappers are setting up their own label to sell the controversial songs. Last night an angry MP urged police to consider charging the band with encouraging terrorism. The album is called All Is War (The Benefits of G-Had) and includes a track called Cookbook DIY about a suicide bomber.
The lyrics say: "I’m strapped up cross my chest, bomb belt attached, deeply satisfied with the plan I hatched. Electrodes connected to a gas cooker lighter in my hand. The situation demands self-sacrifice, hitting back at vice with a £50 price."
And on other tracks they suggest that the popular Communist freedom fighter Che Guevara and al-Qaeda terror chief bin Laden, far right, have a lot in common. On another song the band predict the end of the United States at the hands of Islam.
Nawaz, below left, who grew up in Bradford, West Yorks, admits the lyrics could get him arrested.
He said: "I’ve already told the lyricists I’ll take all the blame.
"If they’re going to lock anyone up, they’ll lock me up.
"I’ve told my kids, I’ve told my wife that if anything goes wrong with me I want you outside Paddington Green (high security police station)."
The defiant rapper added: "I have no loyalty to any country. There is nothing on the album I do not stand by creatively or lyrically."
But Labour MP Andrew Dismore urged police to consider prosecuting Fun—Da—Mental.
He said: "There is a strong chance these rappers could be charged under anti-terrorism laws.
"The police must investigate. Rappers think what they say is above the law."
Nation Records are distributed by Beggars Banquet whose founder Martin Mills is one of the directors who threatened to quit.

BBC Prisoner Sob Story Hides Terrorist Facts

The BBC runs a story related to the Shalit kidnapping, focusing on a Palestinian man who claims his wife and 18-month old son are being held unjustly by Israel: Palestinians back prisoner release call.
For Walid al-Houdaly, 46, the capture of an Israeli soldier by Palestinian militants offers the opportunity that his wife and their 18-month-old child will be freed from prison.
The Palestinian militant factions who kidnapped Cpl Gilad Shalit on Sunday - including the Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the ruling Hamas party - have called for the release of all Palestinian women and children held in Israeli prisons in return for news on the missing soldier. ...
Like many Palestinians, Mr Houdaly believes that the world is focussing on the fate of one Israeli soldier when thousands of Palestinians have been imprisoned or detained in what they regard as their fight for independence. "There is one soldier, but there have been hundreds of Palestinians kidnapped from their houses," says the writer, referring in part to his wife who he says was dragged from their Ramallah home by Israeli soldiers early one morning.
"If the world protests about the kidnapping of one soldier, why don’t they protest about the Palestinians that have been kidnapped in the last 10 years," Mr Houdaly adds, sitting in his Ramallah office with books scattered across his desk.
Mr Houdaly says his wife, Ataf, 44, headed a women’s organisation dedicated to providing health services for poor Palestinians. But for the last seven months, Mr Houdaly says, she has been held in Israeli prison under administration detention - imprisonment without charge.
The mother went on a 16-day hunger strike before the Israeli prison authorities allowed her baby Aesha to be brought to stay with her, in the jail, Mr Houdaly says.
Notice that Mr. Houdaly doesn’t say—and the BBC apparently doesn’t care—why his wife is imprisoned. They don’t even tell us her full name.
You have to search Google’s cache to find out who his wife really is, and why she’s in an Israeli jail, but it’s very probable that this man’s wife is an Islamic Jihad terrorist who planned to execute a suicide bombing by detonating a car bomb in Jerusalem in 1987, and was jailed for 10 years.
Evidence:
From the IDF site: Inside the Circle of Terror- Palestinian Women as Terrorists:
The phenomenon of Palestinian Arab women involved in terror activities has existed for many years. One need only look into the past. One prominent example was an active senior terrorist in the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization, Ataf Alian, who planned to execute a suicide bombing by detonating a car bomb in Jerusalem in 1987. Ataf Ailan was imprisoned in Israel for 10 years and was released in 1997.
And two dead links only available in Google’s cache:
Palestinian Prisoner’s Day in Ramallah - April 19, 2004:
Mrs. Itaf Ilayan, an ex-detainee who served 10 years of a 15-year sentence gave a spine tingling testimony of her personal experience as a prisoner in Israeli prisons. She spoke of unimaginable methods of torture including 4 consecutive years of solitary confinement 34 days of which she was on a food strike, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures, humiliating and degrading treatment and beatings. Currently, she is married to ex-detainee Mr. Waleed Hodali (see below). Her struggle and determination to survive despite the animalistic aggression and cruelty she faced enthralled the audience and moved many to tears.
AL-BUSHRA Archives: A Time to Make Peace:
Ataf Ilayan is a Palestinian woman who is a member of the Islamic Jihad. When Palestinian prisoners were released as part of the Oslo Accords, Ilayan also went home. She was free until one month ago when Israeli police boarded a bus in a Palestinian- controlled area and re-arrested her, placing her in "administrative detention" — arrest without trial. Ilayan declared a total hunger strike — no food or water — until Israel releases her.
But according to the BBC, she was only guilty of heading "a women’s organisation dedicated to providing health services for poor Palestinians."
(Big hat tip to LGF reader Silhouette, who located this information.)
UPDATE at 6/29/06 8:04:08 am:
And it’s even worse than it appears, because the BBC also covered up the record of the whining husband. Biased BBC reports that Walid of the many spellings was also imprisoned by Israel—for attempting to kidnap an Israeli soldier.

Two arrested under Terrorism Act

Two people [why are the bbc scared to call them muslims] have been arrested under the Terrorism Act after police executed warrants in Greater Manchester.
Some 250 officers were involved in the operation - part of the Operation Bracco anti-terrorism initiative.
Eight addresses in the Tonge Moor, Halliwell and Great Lever areas of Bolton are said to have been raided.
A Greater Manchester Police spokeswoman said the arrests were not linked to any other investigation and that none of the officers involved was armed.
Assistant Chief Constable Dave Jones said: "We believe that the action taken today was absolutely necessary to minimise any risk to communities at home and abroad.
"The arrests have been made after careful planning and are part of an ongoing investigation.
"We have been liaising with community representatives to ensure the operation has been carried out with the minimum impact on local people."
People living in nearby communities will be able to discuss issues or concerns linked to Tuesday's operation with local officers, who are providing a high-profile presence.
Officers are also distributing letters around the area and will be meeting with community groups.
A police spokeswoman said the arrests "were targeting individuals suspected of possession of information that could be used for a terrorism purpose."
About 50 officers were directly involved in searching the raided properties.

Muslims urged on Christian rights

The head of the Roman Catholic Church in England and Wales has called for improved rights for Christians in Muslim countries.
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor told the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies they should have the same freedoms as Muslims in countries such as Britain.
He said the image of Islam was damaged when the religious rights of minorities in Muslim nations are denied.
Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor urged British Muslims to speak out on the issue.
In Tuesday's lecture, he said : "Where Christians are being denied their rights, or are subject to Sharia law, that is not a matter on which Muslims in Britain should remain silent.

Our mutual understanding is crucial for world peace and human progress Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor
"Where religious rights of minorities are disrespected in the name of Islam, the face of Islam is tarnished elsewhere in the world."
Christian-Muslim dialogue was vital, but it necessitated Christians being able to worship freely in the likes of Riyadh or Kabul, just as Muslims could do in Britain, he said.
"Our mutual understanding is crucial for world peace and human progress, not least in this era when globalisation and mass migration have placed Christians and Muslims ever closer to each others, as neighbours in the same European towns and cities," he said.
BBC religious affairs correspondent Robert Piggott said Cardinal Murphy-O'Connor's comments come as church leaders start to speak robustly about the treatment of Christian minorities in some Muslim countries.

Poll shows Muslims in Britain are the most anti-western in Europe

Public opinion in Britain is mostly favourable towards Muslims, but the feeling is not requited by British Muslims, who are among the most embittered in the western world, according to a global poll published yesterday.
The poll, by the Washington-based Pew Global Attitudes Project, asked Muslims and non-Muslims about each other in 13 countries. In most, it found suspicion and contempt to be mostly mutual, but uncovered a significant mismatch in Britain.
The poll found that 63% of all Britons had a favourable opinion of Muslims, down slightly from 67% in 2004, suggesting last year's London bombings did not trigger a significant rise in prejudice. Attitudes in Britain were more positive than in the US, Germany and Spain (where the popularity of Muslims has plummeted to 29%), and about the same as in France.
Less than a third of British non-Muslims said they viewed Muslims as violent, significantly fewer than non-Muslims in Spain (60%), Germany (52%), the US (45%) and France (41%).
By contrast, the poll found that British Muslims represented a "notable exception" in Europe, with far more negative views of westerners than Islamic minorities elsewhere on the continent. A significant majority viewed western populations as selfish, arrogant, greedy and immoral. Just over half said westerners were violent. While the overwhelming majority of European Muslims said westerners were respectful of women, fewer than half British Muslims agreed. Another startling result found that only 32% of Muslims in Britain had a favourable opinion of Jews, compared with 71% of French Muslims.
Across the board, Muslim attitudes in Britain more resembled public opinion in Islamic countries in the Middle East and Asia than elsewhere in Europe. And on the whole, British Muslims were more pessimistic than those in Germany, France and Spain about the feasibility of living in a modern society while remaining devout.
The Pew poll found that British Muslims are far more likely than their European counterparts to harbour conspiracy theories about the September 11 attacks. Only 17% believed that Arabs were involved, compared with 48% in France.
There was general agreement that relations are bad, but Britons as a whole were much less likely than other Europeans to blame Muslims. More Britons faulted westerners (27%) than Muslims (25%), with a third saying both are equally responsible. British Muslims were less ambivalent. Nearly half blamed westerners. By comparison, in Germany and France both communities blamed each other in roughly equal measure.
Unlike the rest of Europe, a majority of Britons declared themselves sympathetic to Muslims offended by the cartoons of the prophet Muhammad published in the European press last year. But most Britons said the outbreak of violence was the result of Muslim intolerance for western freedom of expression. Only 9% of British Muslims agreed with that view. Nearly three-quarters blamed the controversy on western disrespect of Islam.
While finding ample confirmation of the rift between Muslims and non-Muslims around the world, the poll did find some signs of encouragement.
"Confidence in Osama bin Laden has ... fallen in most Muslim countries in recent years," the survey concluded. That was particularly true in Jordan, where 24% expressed confidence in the al-Qaida leader, compared with 60% a year ago.
Support for suicide bombing has also plummeted in Jordan, Pakistan and Indonesia. In Pakistan now, 69% said the terrorist tactic was never justified, compared with 38% four years ago
In Britain, 56 percent of the Muslims surveyed did not believe that Arabs carried out the 9/11 attacks. The results, Mr. Kohut said, show that "many Muslims are still in denial" about something that even Osama bin Laden has acknowledged.

Charges dropped over cartoon hate banner

A MAN accused of holding racist banners that called for a terrorist attack has had charges against him dropped.
Omar Zaheer was arrested over a protest in February in London against newspaper cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, but the Crown Prosecution Service said yesterday that there was insufficient evidence for the case to proceed.
Police were no longer satisfied that it was Mr Zaheer who held a banner during the rally. Some of the many banners said: "UK you must pray. 7/7 on its way. UK you must pay. Bin Laden is on his way."
The decision has caused further embarrassment for the Metropolitan Police over its counter-terrorism measures. Last week the force relased without charge two brothers arrested in an anti-terror raid in Forest Gate, East London.David Davis, the Shadow Home Secretary, said: "It’s not good enough for the police to act in a way that does not allow it to secure convictions for blatant incitement ."

Police may still prosecute free speech protester

Remember Reza Moradi? He was the man arrested at the free speech demonstration in Trafalgar Square, for holding a placard displaying the Danish Mohammed cartoons.
Like many people, I assumed that the charges had been quietly dropped. Not so, I'm afraid. It appears that the defenders of our liberty and security are determined to prosecute Reza. The case has not come to court yet because the police say that they are still gathering evidence, although what more they will find two months after the event is anyone's guess.
The National Secular Society has fixed Reza up with a good lawyer who has agreed to take the case without payment. Writing on Maryam Namazie's blog, Reza says:
We want to make sure this case gets its day in court and that with your support - with the support of all those who seek justice when our civil liberties and freedoms are under attack - we will win and raise the banner of unconditional freedoms higher than ever before.We fight both the political Islamic movement and the laws that support it and provide it with cover to make sure there can be no justification and excuse for such attacks on human values again.I will keep you posted. I will be needing your support in defence of free expression and against political Islam's encroachment on universal values.
If and when this case gets to court we will need to make sure that it gets as much publicity as possible and that people are outside the court to give him moral support.
If you want to send Reza a message of support, his email is rezamoradi@gmail.com.

Radical British Imam Invited to Toronto

A radical British imam will visit Toronto, at the invitation of a Scarborough mosque, and the Toronto Star does their level best to whitewash his hate speech and history of extremism:
A charismatic British imam who has been accused of publicly vilifying Hindus, Jews and liberal Muslims is making a return visit to Toronto this month at the invitation of a Scarborough mosque.

Sheik Riyadh ul Haq is slated to be keynote speaker at a youth conference - a visit already being protested by at least one group and by individuals who accuse him of lifting passages from the Qur’an and altering them to suit his often controversial conclusions.

Federal Immigration Minister Monte Solberg has been urged to deny him entry.

Ul Haq, a prominent cleric in England, had mostly passed unnoticed during at least four previous appearances in Canada. The recent arrests of 17 GTA residents on terrorism-related charges, however, provoked questions about just who is preaching to Canada’s Muslim youth - and led to concerns about ul Haq’s presence at the Youth Tarbiyah conference.

In Toronto, he’ll address an audience of 2,000 on current issues facing Muslim youth, according to Mohammad Alam, president of the Islamic Foundation of Toronto, the event organizer.

“Whoever is objecting should make their own judgment and come hear him speak. He is a very learned scholar in Europe, or at least that’s my understanding,” said Alam.

But some Muslim scholars say ul Haq often quotes the Qur’an out of context, and also refers to events out of historical context.

For instance, in a speech posted on an Islamic website he quotes a Qur’an passage that says, “Of the whole of mankind, you shall find the most intense in their hatred and enmity towards the believers, al-Yahood (Jews) and the mushrikeen, the idolators.” Then he paraphrases, saying that “the ones who are bitterest in their enmity towards Muslims, the most unrelenting, unforgiving, are the Jews and the mushrikeen, idolators in all their forms. And lest someone say that’s provocative or that is anti-Semitic, Allah, the creator of the Semite, says that.” And, he adds, the “chief idolators” today are the Hindus.

Palestinian terrorist sues UK gov't

A Palestinian terrorist leader held by Israel filed a lawsuit against the British government for pulling wardens out of a West Bank prison that was later stormed by Israeli forces, his lawyer said Wednesday.
Attorney Kate Maynard said she had filed papers on behalf of Ahmed Saadat alleging his human rights had been violated.
The Foreign Office said it was aware the legal claim had been lodged. A High Court judge will decide whether the case can proceed.Saadat, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, claims his human rights were violated by the March withdrawal of British wardens from a prison in Jericho where he was held.
British and US monitors supervised the prison under an unusual 2002 agreement.Minutes after the monitors withdrew, 1,000 Israeli troops stormed the prison, seizing Saadat and four of his alleged accomplices in the 2001 assassination of an Israeli Cabinet minister. The raid left three Palestinians dead and sparked reprisals against foreigners in the Palestinian territories.
Britain's then-Foreign Secretary Jack Straw said at the time that the 14 British and U.S. monitors had been withdrawn because of threats to their security.
Maynard accused the British government of acting "with complete disregard for the lives of Mr. Saadat and the other prisoners by giving (Israel) advance notice of their withdrawal and then telling them as they left."
Saadat was accused by Israel of masterminding the 2001 assassination of Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi. He was arrested by Palestinian police, though never charged, but was held in the Jericho jail anyway, partly to protect him from being targeted by Israel.
Four men seized with Saadat are being tried by Israel for Zeevi's murder, but the attorney general Mazuz ruled there was insufficient evidence charge Saadat. He is awaiting trial by an Israeli military court on several other terrorism-related charges.

US confirms Heathrow hijack plot

An official US report has confirmed al-Qaeda planned to hijack flights from Heathrow and fly planes into the airport and a Canary Wharf skyscraper.
Reports of such a plot had surfaced in the media before but have not previously been confirmed.
It is believed the plot was disrupted by security services, although arrests are not thought to have been made.
The report lists nine attempts by al-Qaeda - aside from 11 September - to attack aviation targets worldwide.
Crashed into targets
One of these is the plot to fly into Canary Wharf. Another is an attempt in the summer of 2003 to use camera flash attachments as stun guns as well as cameras to disguise bomb components.
In this plot, the airliners were to be crashed into targets in the east coast of the US, Australia, Britain and Italy.
Other plots are well known, including that of the so-called shoe-bomber Richard Reid and attempts to use portable surface to air missiles to attack planes, including in Kenya.
The original reports of a possible plot against Canary Wharf emerged in late 2004, but the details were murky and officials declined to confirm them.
In February 2003, tanks were also deployed to Heathrow Airport to deal with a suspected terrorist threat, a move which proved controversial. It is not believed the deployment of the tanks was linked to the same Canary Wharf plot confirmed by the US report.
The Department of Homeland Security report, dated 16 June 2006 and marked unclassified, was first reported by ABC News in the US and has since also been seen by the BBC.
It makes clear that al-Qaeda remains interested in attacking aviation targets and "likely desires a successful repeat of a 2001 suicide hijacking against the United States".
It lists a number of ways that it could use aircraft as weapons or target different parts of the industry. Amongst the areas of concern are the use of lasers to blind or distract pilots.
Helicopter 'threat'
Three hundred and eleven possible laser incidents have occurred since late November 2004 although the number has recently declined.
Another fear is the transfer of a particular tactic used in Iraq to attack US military helicopters being used against commercial helicopters elsewhere.
Improved security has helped protect aviation, although al-Qaeda also continually appears to be searching for new approaches and probing for vulnerabilities, for instance trying to take advance of less effective security screening in some countries.
The report says the department "continues to receive information on terrorist threats to the US aviation industry worldwide; however, there is no recent information to suggest near-term operational planning may be under way within the United States".

Four men arrested in terror raids

Four men have been arrested in London under anti-terror laws as part of a major investigation into alleged international terrorism, say police.
The arrests are part of an operation linked to the arrest of a man at Manchester airport on 6 June.
One man, 28, was arrested on Tuesday in south-east London and three men, aged 29 and two aged 21, on Monday in Hackney, east London.
They are in custody at a central London police station.
All four men are British citizens and were arrested on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism under the Terrorism Act 2000.

Police are trying to establish whether they were giving support to an alleged al-Qaeda cell in Canada
Margaret Gilmore, home affairs correspondent
Margaret Gilmore, BBC home affairs correspondent, said the arrested men were being held at Paddington Green police station in west London.
She said: "Police are trying to establish whether they [the arrested men] were giving support to an alleged al-Qaeda cell in Canada. The operation leading to their arrests involved West Yorkshire Police, MI5 and Scotland Yard."
Police said the arrests were not linked to the Forest Gate raid in east London or the 7 July attacks last year.
Scotland Yard said the police operation did not involve firearms officers. The arrested men can be held for 14 days, after which they have to be charged or released.
The arrests are linked to the investigation, led by West Yorkshire Police, in which a man and a youth were charged earlier this month with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause public nuisance by using poisons or explosives.
Aabid Hussain Khan, 21, of West Yorkshire, was arrested at Manchester Airport in early June and later charged under Section 57 of the Terrorism Act.
He appeared in court on 15 June and was remanded in custody by Bow Street magistrates until 30 June to appear at the Old Bailey.
Khan appeared alongside a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, who was charged with conspiracy to murder and conspiracy to cause a public nuisance by use of poisons and/or explosives.

Muslim girl cyclists given a push

Bicycles are being made available for Muslim girls at a school in east London to encourage them to take up cycling.
The Transport for London (TfL) grant is part of a £150,000 scheme to help encourage communities who do not use bikes to take up the activity.
Eighty girls and relatives have signed up for a cycling club at the Central Foundation School in Bow, east London.
Head teacher Anne Hudson said the scheme would help the girls experience the "sheer joy" of cycling.
Benefits of cycling
A TfL spokeswoman said the scheme was part of the Cycle London Promotional Partnership (CLPP), and would help pay for 20 bikes and for two teachers to be trained as cycling teachers.
"It's not just for the pupils - it's something the whole community can become involved in," she said.
The school was chosen to host the sessions because it is based in a predominantly Muslim community and the scheme is designed to encourage people to take up riding in communities which do not normally cycle.
Seventy per cent of the pupils at the school are Muslim.
TfL said many women from Muslim communities do not know how to cycle because they had come from communities where "they did not have the opportunity to cycle, or cycling is uncommon for women in their communities, or the cost of purchasing cycles is a barrier".
Ms Hudson said: "The CLPP community grant is giving our students and members of the local community the opportunity to experience the benefits of cycling - for their health, the environment and for the independence and sheer joy cycling gives."
I wonder what the response would be if it was only Jewish girls, or only white girls... No wonder your average white council estate tenant is thinking of voting BNP.

do you remeber this from earlier in the year.

"Positive Discrimination"

The chairman of the British Commission for Racial Equality is in favor of "positive discrimination" to increase the number of Muslims in the police force: Race law update needed, Phillips.
Britain’s race laws need updating to help in the battle against terrorism, the chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) has said.
Trevor Phillips has called for a debate on positive discrimination in favour of Muslims applying to join the police.
"Positive discrimination." That one gets a 9+ on the LGF Euphemism Scale.
In the speech to be given at the Social Policy Forum at the Government Office for London, he will say that British Muslims are as committed to tackling "terrorism" as anyone else.
Actually, there’s more than a little evidence that exactly the opposite is true. Here’s one story we linked to last February: British Muslims: 40% Want Shari’a Law.
Here’s another one, from last July: Poll: 1/4 of UK Muslims Support 7/7 Bombers.
Not to mention this: Secret UK Report: Muslim Police Corrupt.
And then, of course, there’s this: Cartoon Madness on Video.
The initiative to recruit more Muslim police officers isn’t necessarily a terrible idea, although doing it via "positive discrimination" gives me a headache. But what do you want to bet these new police recruits will never be asked where they stand on the global jihad? Without some kind of screening for radicals, this initiative is simply asking for the police to be infiltrated—just like the British media already have been.
And of course, where would any such initiative be without an implicit threat?
Mr Phillips, a former head of the National Union of Students, will also warn that it cannot be taken for granted that Muslim communities will put up with anti-terror searches indefinitely.

Imam backs terror attack against Blair

A RADICAL Muslim who ousted a leading moderate cleric from his mosque on the south coast with a campaign of violence has said he believes Tony Blair is a "legitimate target" for terrorists.
Abubaker Deghayes, who now runs the mosque in Brighton and whose brother Omar is a detainee at Guantanamo Bay, told an undercover reporter that he endorsed the views of George Galloway, the Respect MP, who said an attack on the prime minister by a suicide bomber could be morally justified. Deghayes said he prayed for Allah to support anyone who attacked Blair.
Court documents show Deghayes took over the mosque using violence, intimidation and threats. Dr Abduljalil Sajid, a leading imam and a government adviser on Islam, was forced out as head of the mosque by Deghayes and his supporters.
It is understood Sussex police Special Branch held a number of meetings with Sajid about extremist elements at the site, but no overt action was taken. Sajid, chairman of the Muslim Council for Religious and Racial Harmony, is understood to have raised his concerns about the mosque with Blair.
Police sources have confirmed that in the past extremist literature had been found at the site and that some of those attending the mosque were suspected of having fought as "mercenaries" abroad.
The Charity Commission, which has jurisdiction over the mosque because it is run as a charity, said it did not know how the mosque was receiving and spending money and added that it was operating "in breach of legal requirements".
A reporter spent two weeks undercover at the Al-Quds mosque, which is in a detached house in Brighton. On Fridays, it can attract 100-200 worshippers. Deghayes made his extremist views clear while chatting to the reporter. Asked whether he shared Galloway’s view that the prime minister was a legitimate target for suicide bombers, he replied: "Yes, I do, I do."
In another conversation, Deghayes said: "He is a legitimate target. Him and Bush are part of all that we see now."
Later asked if he ever prayed for Blair to be attacked by a Muslim, he said: "I pray to Allah to support them. Of course, I know anybody who attacks in the name of Islam, Allah will take care of him."
Deghayes also said he was unconcerned about British troops being killed in Iraq because the issue was "all clear in international law". "Under international law anybody who’s been invaded, they are entitled to self-defence," he said.
"It’s something all countries are signatories to. So what’s happening is an occupation. People in Iraq have every right to liberate themselves."
But he urged the reporter to be careful with whom he discussed his views for fear of prosecution. Deghayes said: "Don’t talk openly, like ‘Tony Blair (is) an open target’. Now you can be taken in for glorifying terrorism.
"(Even) among Muslim brothers . . . there are hypocrites, munafiqs (hypocrites). There are spies, all sorts of people. There’s no need to talk about it, to say like this."
Deghayes this weekend insisted he had understood Galloway to mean Blair was a legitimate political target. Deghayes, who is from Libya but now has British citizenship, said he was personally opposed to violence.
The Al-Quds mosque run by Deghayes has links with extremists, according to court testimony.
David Courtailler, a convicted supporter of Al-Qaeda who is connected to a number of terrorists responsible for the Madrid bombings and 9/11, converted to Islam at the Brighton mosque days before travelling to Afghanistan.
Courtailler, who was sentenced to four years in prison in 2004 for aiding terrorists, was given £1,000 by Omar Deghayes to travel to a jihad training camp in Afghanistan, according to records of his Paris trial.
The revelation surprised supporters of the campaign to free 36-year-old Omar Deghayes from Guantanamo, where he was sent after being arrested in Pakistan in 2002. He had earlier left Afghanistan where he had lived with his Afghan wife under the Taliban regime.
Activists have criticised the lack of evidence to justify holding Omar Deghayes, saying his incarceration is a case of mistaken identity.
According to court records, his older brother Abubaker Deghayes orchestrated a sustained campaign of intimidation against Sajid.
Deghayes, 38, became aggressive towards those running the Brighton mosque after they were sceptical about his plan to start an Islamic primary school on the site in 1996. He told the trustees he wanted to give Muslim children an education away from "western influences" and "misleading ideologies", but the scheme was rejected.
In May 1997 Brighton county court found Sajid had been assaulted four times by Deghayes in December 1996 and January 1997 and was also spat upon and threatened with a knife by one of his supporters.
Injunctions were issued to prevent Deghayes and his supporters approaching Sajid but he was forced out of the mosque, followed by the trustees of the Sussex Muslim Society charity, which operates it.
Deghayes wrote to the Charity Commission in 1996 stating that he and his followers were in charge but regulators at the commission said at the time they had not been properly elected and were not entitled to run the charity.
The Charity Commission closed the case in 2004 when new elections were promised, although by then all the charity’s ties with the original trustees had been severed.
Charity Commission records indicate that since 1998 the charity has filed incomplete and sporadic accounts. No accounts for the past four financial years have been received.
The commission said: "The charity is currently in breach of legal requirements by filing inadequate accounts."
The takeover of the mosque is similar to the coup executed at the Finsbury Park mosque in north London by Abu Hamza, the hook-handed cleric jailed last year for inciting murder, who drove out the trustees and imam using violence and slander so he could use the site to expound his extremist rhetoric.
Hamza also spent some time living at the Brighton mosque in the late 1980s. Rafique Miah, one of the trustees before the takeover, said: "Abubaker came in as a worshipper. Then he started to take over. When we told Abubaker, ‘This is England, we have to follow the law,’ he would say ‘British law under my foot’."
Deghayes insisted his charity had filed accounts regularly. When asked about his brother’s alleged links to Courtailler, he said: "I have no idea what this is about. The name does not really mean anything to me."
He added: "I don’t think George Galloway meant Tony Blair was a target for assassination, I think he means he is a target to be brought down as a prime minister, that is how I understood it.
"Anyone who attacks Islam I believe that Allah will take care of him, that is, Allah will defend Islam. This is what I believe as a Muslim."

Woman killed in double stabbing

A 23-year-old woman has died and another was seriously injured in a double stabbing in Blackburn.
The pair were rushed to hospital after being attacked in a house on Shear Bank Road on Saturday afternoon.
One of the victims died at Blackburn Royal Infirmary. The other, a 20-year-old woman, is said to be in a serious condition.
Police are looking for an Asian man seen fleeing the area, who they think would have been heavily blood-stained.
He is described as in his mid-20s, about 5ft 10in tall and with a slim to medium build.
He has a short, rough beard and swept back hair and was wearing brownish green jeans.

Second Algerian suspect deported

Sister is stabbed to death for loving the wrong man.

Children were made to watch an attack on a woman who was forbidden to marry outside her caste
Samaira Nazir was murdered by her brother and his cousin. Her father, allegedly involved in the attack, is in hiding .

A BUSINESSMAN is facing a life sentence for stabbing his sister to death in front of his two young daughters in a so-called honour killing.
Azhar Nazir, 30, and his cousin, 17, used four knives to cut Samaira Nazir’s throat and repeatedly stab her after she fell in love with an asylum-seeker from what they saw as an unsuitable caste.
Miss Nazir, 25, had rejected suitors lined up to meet her in Pakistan and had been summoned to the family home in Southall, Middlesex.
The father, also called Azhar, Nazir and the youth launched the attack and at one point dragged her by her hair back into the property.
Miss Nazir, a businesswoman described as “strong-willed”, was heard to shout at her mother, Irshad Begum: “You are not my mother any more.” She was then held down as a scarf was tied around her neck and her throat was cut in three places. Nazir’s daughters, aged 2 and 4, were screaming and were splattered with blood. Police fear that they were ordered to watch as a warning to them. Neighbours called the police after hearing the screaming.
Nazir was found guilty yesterday of murdering his sister; a day after his cousin, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was convicted for his part in the murder. They were remanded in custody and will be sentenced at the Old Bailey in London next month.
The court was told that the 17-year-old believed that Miss Nazir had become a victim of black magic at the hands of Mr Mohammad, an Afghan asylum-seeker. Nazir denied murder but told police that his sister “had to be stopped”.
The father was also charged with the murder but fled to Pakistan, where he has gone into hiding. Charges against the mother were later dropped.
The court was told that Nazir and his father ran Rana Brothers, a successful grocery store on Southall Broadway. The son also owned a recruitment company, S & F Staffing, which supplied workers for the Hilton hotel chain and had made Miss Nazir a director.
She was articulate and well-educated and had studied travel and tourism at Thames University. She was described as the brightest in the family.
She clashed with her family when she told them that she wanted to marry Mr Mohammad, who become known to the family after he came to the country illegally.
After the couple fell in love,Mr Mohammad tried to ingratiate himself with the family by arranging to bring the 17-year-old cousin to Britain from Pakistan. Mr Mohammad and Miss Nazir kept their affair secret for years.
He told jurors: “We were as boyfriend and girlfriend for about five or six years. But we couldn’t tell her family because Samaira said her father was a very strict man who would not allow any female in his family to marry outside of his caste or tribe. We had discussed marriage. Samaira wanted to tell her family herself. Her father was very upset and said I was only after their money.”
When the couple announced their engagement, Mr Mohammad, who ran a stall selling phone cards, said the father went at him with a knife and threatened to kill him.
In April last year Miss Nazir was summoned to the home to be killed to protect the family’s honour. As she screamed for help one neighbour banged on the front door, but the father emerged claiming that his daughter was having a fit.
When police arrived they found a trail of blood from the front of the house to the back door and then to the hallway where Miss Nazir’s body was slumped in a pool of blood.
The amount of blood on the children suggested that they were only feet from the attack. A neighbour spotted Miss Nazir’s bloodstained arm emerge momentarily from the front door before she was dragged back inside and the door slammed shut.
She received 18 stab wounds and three cuts to her throat.

Police may let Muslims see terrorism intelligence

The police are considering a proposal to let selected British Muslims examine the intelligence used to mount anti-terrorism raids before they take place, the Guardian has learned.
The proposal will be considered as part of a review of the raid in Forest Gate, east London, a fortnight ago when 250 officers stormed a family house searching for a chemical weapon which was not found. One man was shot and police have apologised for the “hurt” caused by the raid which has further damaged strained relations with the local community. The review began this week and is expected to be completed before the end of the month.
the head of Labour's ethnic minority taskforce will today warn that the anti-terrorism battle will not work while Muslims feel picked on.
While such a review after a controversial incident is standard, this one is unique because British Muslims are involved from the start.
A senior police source with knowledge of the issues involved said: “We are working on sharing more information with the community before, during and after events so they understand as much of the context as we can provide.”
Other sources said the review would look at the gathering and assessment of intelligence, which is sparser than in other serious crime. The review will also look at what action police then take, and whether hundreds of police need to storm a private family house. Also on the table is more rapid compensation, whether police can do more to stop or counteract leaks “smearing” suspects.

'30 hijackers on BA jet'

TWO terror suspects discussed using 30 suicide hijackers to crash a BA plane — killing 300 passengers, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.
Omar Khyam, 24, and Jawad Akbar, 22, are accused of being part of a UK-based al-Qaeda cell
The pair were caught on secret surveillance tapes played to the court and allegedly tested bombs at a Pakistan terror training camp and stashed 600kg of fertiliser in a lock-up.
But they were secretly followed and bugged by MI5 agents in 2004 and were arrested before they could strike, it is claimed. Khyam and Akbar talked about the possibility of an attack but it was "just an idea right now", the court heard.
In one conversation recorded at Akbar’s home in Uxbridge, West London, Khyam said: "Nobody knows what’s really going on, it’s just ideas coming out.
"Imagine you’ve got a plane, 300 people in it, you buy tickets for 30 brothers in there.
"They’re massive brothers, you just crash the plane. You could do it easy, it’s just an idea."
Akbar, a student at Brunel University, replied: "Thirty brothers, to find 30 brothers willing to commit suicide."
Khyam: "If you spoke to some serious brothers, to the right people, you’d probably get it, bro."
Akbar: "Thirty brothers who’d be willing to give their lives.’
Khyam: "Yeah, you’d get it bro, whether they were from abroad, you’d get it."
He later added: "As soon as an air marshal gets up and shoots one the others just jump him."
Earlier the pair talked about launching attacks such as poisoning water supplies, cutting power cables and targeting gas pipes.
Akbar and Khyam, both now of Crawley, West Sussex, and three other men deny a variety of charges relating to causing explosions and terrorism.

little john speaks out

Losing your legs on 7/7 justifies a £500,000 payout... losing your liberty for a few days doesn't, says RICHARD LITTLEJOHN.
The two men arrested as terror suspects in Forest Gate are reported to be in line for compensation payments up to £500,000.
Why?
They have been released, declared innocent and left Paddington Green police station without, as the saying goes, a stain on their character.
Background• Terror raid: the backlash• Comment: MI5, the police and the inside story of a raid that went wrong
It is now glaringly apparent that the police acted on faulty or deliberately misleading intelligence.
No one believes these men are guilty. Their reputations have not been traduced. Most of us don't even know who they are. So how could we possibly ostracise them socially?
In fact, to some they will now become heroes and can expect lucrative newspaper, book and television deals for the story of their ordeal.
If anyone comes out of this with an omelette on their helmet, it is the police, even though they were only doing their job. They have apologised publicly to the men and their family.
There might be a case for a small amount of compensation, particularly to the brother who suffered a minor gunshot wound. And, clearly, Scotland Yard will have to send in the builders to repair broken doors and windows and torn-up floorboards.
But talk of half a million pounds is ludicrous. A couple of grand should cover any inconvenience and loss of earnings.
Unfortunately, the Yard's track record in doling out largesse isn't encouraging. Their instinct is always to break the bank to assuage any slight, real or perceived, to the ethnic communities.
If we are to believe what we are told, the eventual bill should be passed on to the Funny People. The intelligence failure has been laid at the door of MI5. Let's hope the spooks take it out on their informant's kneecaps.
Ultimately, any compensation to these two men will come out of public funds. And the public — even those of us who fully supported the raid — will rightly come to the conclusion that enough money has been wasted already.
If these men weren't Muslim and were, say, suspected bank robbers detained for a week after a dawn raid, they wouldn't now be looking at a windfall in the region of half a million.
That's the kind of settlement which is likely to be paid to survivors and relatives of those killed in the 7/ 7 bombings. No one is going to convince me that losing your liberty for a few days equates to losing your legs, losing your life or losing a loved one.
Yet the authorities are so terrified of upsetting the 'community' that they will inevitably throw a parachute-bag full of money at it.
There have been a couple of halfhearted demonstrations accusing the police of targeting young Muslim men. I'm afraid that's an unfortunate consequence of the war on terror.
Most young Muslim men are decent, respectable members of society. But a sizeable minority are not, as we saw during the Danish cartoons demonstration in London, which gleefully threatened more terrorist attacks on British soil and included the brother of the two men arrested in Forest Gate.
Those who attacked London on 7/ 7 and those who tried to repeat that carnage two weeks later were all Muslims.
And the one thing that the terrorist murderers of 9/ 11, Madrid and Bali all have in common is the M-word. And we're not talking Methodist.
The preachers of death and hatred are all Muslims, too. You can argue that they're the 'wrong kind' of Muslims, but the antiterrorist squad can be forgiven for not concentrating their attention on Baptists or Rastafarians.
There are Muslims living in Britain who wish us harm. This weekend, I picked up my local newspaper, which was leading its front page on a concerted campaign by Islamic extremists to take over the North Finchley mosque.
It can't be much fun for young Muslims to feel under constant suspicion, but the fault for that lies not with the police or the wider population but with their own co-religionists.
Nor is the situation helped by the posturing and politicking of self-appointed, rent-a-gob 'community leaders' like in the ginger syrup who now runs the Muslim Council and who in a newspaper interview this weekend complained that Britain was not Islamic enough and should adopt arranged marriages.
Talk about winning friends and influencing people. He should be asserting that Britain is a liberal, tolerant country with an honourable history of religious freedom, its own laws and customs and one in which we all have duties as well as rights. If anyone here wants to live under Sharia law, they should move to a country more to their liking.
If he really wants to break down tensions, he should be urging Muslims to abandon the grievance culture, assimilate into British society, get involved in democratic local and national politics, join the police and security services and shop the troublemakers and terrorists in their midst to the authorities.
If that happens — and don't hold your breath — then maybe, just maybe, we will be able to prevent not just another 7/ 7, but also stop a monumental cock-up such as Forest Gate from happening again.

Raid brothers had £38,000 cash stashed in a bedroom

Anti-terror police discovered £38,000 in cash at the home of two brothers arrested over a suspected chemical bomb plot.
See also...Top Asian officer's grave concerns over terror raid
Officers came across the money in a bedroom after Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, and Abul Koyair, 20, were held during a raid at the family's terraced house.
It is not known how Kahar, a postal worker, and Koyair, a shelf-stacker at Tesco, came to have such a large amount of money - much of it in £50 notes - at the property.
Last night security sources confirmed that £38,000 had been found at the house in Forest Gate, East London.
But they believe there was not a sinister reason for so much cash being hidden there.
Muslims frown upon the payment of interest - making it difficult for them to use banks and building societies.
A security source told the Mail: "It is true that we recovered nearly £40,000 in cash, but we believe there are cultural reasons why the money was being stored in the property."
Kahar and Koyair were quizzed for a week at high-security Paddington Green police station in London after being arrested.
They were targeted after an MI5 informant said he had seen a poison device which was understood to have been stored at their home.
But after spending a week in custody, they were were released without charge - prompting questions about why the raid was carried out in the first place.
Police said they had 'no choice' but to arrest the men and search their home after receiving 'specific and credible' intelligence about a terror plot involving a poison bomb.
But no weapon was ever found - despite police carrying out a fingertip search of the property.
Kahar was shot in the chest as armed officers stormed the house. This week he accused the police of 'brutality'.
The brothers claim they were kicked and verbally abused when they were detained by anti-terror officers.
Asked at a press conference on Tuesday why he had been targeted by police, Kahar said: "The only crime I have done in their eyes is being Asian and having a full-length beard."
As well as fearing a potentially-deadly chemical weapon was being stored in the property, firearms officers were deployed because the address has previously been linked with guns.
Kahar and Koyair's elder brother, Mohammed Abdullah Hasneth, was arrested for three armed robberies in 2002 and later jailed for six years.
Legal experts say the brothers could receive a six-figure compensation sum after being apparently libelled by officers.
Neither the brothers nor their lawyers are thought to have revealed during questioning why they had such vast sums of money stored in the house.
This week Chancellor Gordon Brown acknowledged that devout Muslims often found it difficult to access traditional financial services in Britain.
Many Muslims refuse to open accounts with banks and building societies because the payment of interest on money in accounts is considered usury - and against their religion.
Mr Brown pledged to make it easier for them to save their money by making London a centre for Islamic banking.

BBC: Youth, Man Charged in Terror Probe

A youth, 16, and a man, 21, have been charged with conspiracy to murder and conspiring to cause public nuisance by using poisons or explosives.
The man, from Bradford, was arrested at Manchester airport. He is also accused of possessing a computer hard drive for a purpose connected with terrorism.
He and the 16-year-old, from Dewsbury, will appear at Bow Street Magistrates’ Court in central London on Thursday
The man and the youth were arrested under terrorism laws last week.
The police are apologizing to the religious community of the "youth" and the "man" for any inconvenience or humiliation that their attempt to prevent mass murder may have caused.
Police say they are aware operations "of this nature" can cause public concern and have been meeting religious and civic leaders in Dewsbury and Bradford to keep them informed of events.

"This is a serious and complex investigation.

Forced Marriages OK in the UK

The custom of forced marriages, practiced almost exclusively by Britain’s Muslim community, is given an official pass by the British government: Forced marriage law ‘not needed’.

The Home Office has decided a specific law to ban forced marriages in the UK is not needed.
Ministers had asked groups and individuals if there should be a law criminalising the act of forcing someone into marriage.
Most thought the disadvantages of a new law would outweigh the advantages, and possibly drive the practice of forced marriages underground.
Britain's track record on documenting and dealing with forced marriage is marred ultimately by two factors - politicians' desire to woo the Muslim vote preventing actual legislation, and a climate of political correctness. There is a politically correct notion which assumes that arranged marriages are somehow "culturally acceptable", even though these marriages are a back-door means of increasing immigration into Britain's already overcrowded shores. But Britain is not alone. These desires not to "offend" or "alienate" are the reasons why so far, only Norway and Belgium have legislation against forced marriages in the ENTIRE WORLD.
Over the past four years, the UK Home Office has dealt with 1,000 cases of forced marriage. On Wednesday, 27 October, 2004, the BBC reported that the Home Office was planning a consultation exercise to consider if forced marriages should be banned.
Baroness Scotland, Home Office minister, said: "Forced marriage is part of no one's culture and I think some people conflate arranged marriage, which is consensual and perfectly proper, with marriages where people are forced into it. No religion, no cultural norm says that is OK. It is a breach of human rights."
Baroness Scotland is unaware, it seems, how closely arranged marriages are to forced marriages. I knew Muslim women whose parents used every conceivable emotional blackmail, with the ever-attendant threat of violence from cousins and other relatives, to force their daughters to marry on the parents' terms.
There were an estimated 300 cases of forced marriages between April 2003 and April 2004 in Britain.
In 2005, the notion of making forced marriages illegal once again was set forward by the UK parliament, but once again, nothing has been done. No parliamentary motions have been tabled, and considering the politically correct temperament of Tony Blair's Labour Party, such moves are not likely to happen in the duration of this parliament.

Secret UK Report: Muslim Police Corrupt

The Guardian says they’ve seen a secret report by the Metropolitan Police concluding that Muslim officers are more likely to become corrupt.

A secret high-level Metropolitan police report has concluded that Muslim officers are more likely to become corrupt than white officers because of their cultural and family backgrounds.
The document, which has been seen by the Guardian, has caused outrage among ethnic minorities within the force, who have labelled it racist and proof that there is a gulf in understanding between the police force and the wider Muslim community. The document was written as an attempt to investigate why complaints of misconduct and corruption against Asian officers are 10 times higher than against their white colleagues.

The main conclusions of the study, commissioned by the Directorate of Professional Standards and written by an Asian detective chief inspector, stated: “Asian officers and in particular Pakistani Muslim officers are under greater pressure from the family, the extended family ... and their community against that of their white colleagues to engage in activity that might lead to misconduct or criminality.”
It recommended that Asian officers needed special anti-corruption training and is now being considered by a working party of senior staff.

The report argued that British Pakistanis live in a cash culture in which “assisting your extended family is considered a duty” and in an environment in which large amounts of money are loaned between relatives and friends.
The leaking of the report comes at a time when the Met needs the cooperation and trust of the Muslim community more than ever and as the force tries to contain the fallout from last week’s anti-terrorist raid in Forest Gate in which a man was shot. The first version was considered so inflammatory when it was shown to representatives from the staff associations for black, Hindu, Sikh and Muslim officers, that it had to be toned down.
There are 31,000 officers in the Met - 7%, or 2,170, are black and minority ethnic; among these an estimated 300 are Muslim

Muslims protest over terror raid

Er, check that. They are protesting against counter-terrorism. And the Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner is already playing the dhimmi, apologizing to the Muslim community instead of saying: "If you acted on your professed moderation and contacted us about people teaching jihadist violence and plotting attacks, such raids would not be necessary."
"Muslims protest at police treatment," from the Telegraph, with thanks to Interested, who points out that if hundreds of Muslim demonstrators really do turn out for this, that will be "hundreds more than protested against the actions of their coreligionists on July 7."

Around 100 people have protested about an anti-terror raid in east London a week ago, claiming it was symptomatic of oppression of the Islamic community.
Earlier the sister of two brothers held in connection with an alleged terror plot criticised the police's "barbaric and horrific actions".
Humeya Kalam's brothers, Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, and Abul Koyair, 20, were arrested in Forest Gate last week.
Ms Kalam backed a separate "peaceful" protest in Plashet Park next Sunday.
At Friday's demonstration outside Forest Gate police station protesters chanted: "British police go to hell" and "Tony Blair murderer" and waved plaques condemning the police and the government.
Protest organiser Anjem Choudary said: "When you start to violate the sanctity of Muslims and their homes, and handle their mothers and fathers then there is going to be some kind of backlash."
The Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Ian Blair, has defended the raid.
In an interview with BBC News Sir Ian said the police had taken action on behalf of all communities in the fight against terror.
He said: "This is not a police force on behalf of one community against another. We're all in danger of terrorism together."
Scotland Yard Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman said he regretted the disruption caused to the community in east London but that police had to act on intelligence received.
Mr Hayman said they would continue "to try and bottom it out" and indicated police would meet the local community to reflect on their tactics.
Family statement
Ms Kalam's comments mark the first time the family have spoken since the raid, in which Mr Kahar was shot.
In a statement, issued by Ms Kalam on behalf of her family, she said: "On the morning of Friday 2 June 2006, my family were awakened by what can only be described as barbaric and horrific actions taken against an innocent family."

My family were awakened by what can only be described as barbaric and horrific actions taken against an innocent family Humeya Kalam
She also thanked "each and everyone in the community for their tremendous support".

Her statement is thought to have been read out in a number of east London mosques at the end of prayers on Friday afternoon.
Mr Kahar and Mr Koyair, who both deny the allegations, are still being held without charge at Paddington Green police station.
Police, who say they are not prepared to comment on the case, have until Saturday to question the pair.
Officers have yet to find what specific intelligence suggested they would find in the raided house - reportedly a chemical-based explosive device.
It was also read out to reporters by another family member in Forest Gate.
Local Muslims who stayed away said later that they were worried their cause was being hijacked by outsiders. Many of those who attended wore long thobs - traditional wear in the Gulf - and masked their faces, as did a handful of women protestors wearing burqas.
A bearded Irishman from Dublin, a convert of five years who gave his name as Khaled, said: "The Prophet Mohammed said ‘you should carry weapons’ and he is right."
And an English convert, of 10 years, Abu Ibrahim, a self-confessed fundamentalist shouted: "We are hear to highlight the oppression. To highlight the tyranny of the British."

Briton Arrested in Canadian Terror Investigation

A British Muslim with possible connections to both the London 7/7 bombings and the alleged plots in Toronto has been arrested at Manchester airport.
A BRITON said to be a key figure in an alleged plot to bomb public buildings in Canada, including the Parliament, was arrested by counter-terrorist police as he stepped off a plane at Manchester airport.
The 21-year-old man had arrived from Canada, where security services claimed that he had been living alongside some of the 17 terror suspects arrested in Toronto at the weekend in one of the biggest operations in North America. Hours later police in West Yorkshire arrested a 16-year-old youth after documents and mobile phone records seized in Canada revealed a British link to the alleged gang of Muslim militants operating from their homes in the Toronto suburbs.
Canadian prosecutors have claimed that the plot involved taking over the Parliament building, holding MPs hostage and beheading Stephen Harper, the Prime Minister. They wanted to force Canada to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.
A security source told The Times yesterday: "We believe that people living in the UK played a pivotal role in helping to organise this series of planned attacks."
The 21-year-old man was seized as he tried to leave the airport on Tuesday night. Scotland Yard officers were also present, but police say that no guns were used.
The suspect was born in Pakistan but is believed to have British citizenship and lived at a number of addresses in Dewsbury, the home town of Mohammad Sidique Khan, the leader of the July 7 suicide bombers. He is understood to have spent much of this year living in Toronto.

Muslims urged to end police co-operation

Muslims in east London should withdraw co-operation with the police in the wake of last week's terror raid in which a man was shot, a Respect party activist has said.

Yvonne Ridley, a former journalist who converted to Islam after being kidnapped by the Taliban, said the community was being "terrorised" by the Metropolitan Police and should end all contact with the force.
But a senior officer said relations on the ground were vital to ensuring difficult issues were handled in a sensitive way.
Ms Ridley said: "I don't think the Muslim community should communicate with the police any more until they start showing some respect to the community.
"There are Muslim community leaders - largely self-appointed - who regularly hold meetings with the police,"
"I'm afraid these leaders are confusing access to the top brass with influence. The reality is that they have neither. What we are witnessing now is the terrorisation of one community."
At a meeting of the party last night in the area of the raid, she suggested non-co-operation "goes from asking the community copper for directions to passing the time of the day with the beat officers".
Commander Steve Allen, who heads territorial policing, said: "What is more likely to deliver effective police and community and responses to situations like this?
"Is it when we talk to each other, when we spend time trying to understand each other's perspective or is it when we call for complete disengagement?
"I'm sure your listeners will have a view on that."
He added: "Society has to trust us to make decisions based on sometimes less than perfect information.
"The best interests of the community always lies in preventing acts of terrorism, and we have to make those difficult decisions about when to act and when not to act.
"Our view and our job is always to do that job alongside and in engagement with the people for whom we work, i.e. the communities of London.
"The daily reality in London is that we are seeing falling crime, rising confidence. "We wouldn't be seeing those things if we weren't daily engaged with the people for whom we work."
Ms Ridley said the police should respond to terror threats "in a responsible way and stop shooting people".
Commander Allen urged Ms Ridley to hold talks with him on the subject, warning her that communities needed to be "deeply engaged" in the fight against terrorism.

Brother of terror raid men took part in Prophet cartoon demo

When this photograph of a man dressed up as a suicide bomber was published around the world, it caused widespread disgust.
But today it has taken on a more significant meaning, for the man on the left is an older brother of the suspects arrested during last Friday's controversial terror raid in East London.
Mohammed Abdullah Hasnath was pictured standing next to Omar Khayam, who was dressed as a suicide bomber at a demonstration in London in February against the publication of satirised cartoons featuring the Prophet Mohammed.
He was pictured wearing a scarf on his face and waving a black flag during the protest. Khayam, 22, later publicly apologised for causing offence by dressing up as a suicide bomber.
The publication of the photograph comes the day after Prime Minister Tony Blair was forced to defend the raid on the address in Lansdown Road, Forest Gate.
One man, 23-year-old Abdul Kahar, was shot during the swoop. He is being held along with his brother, Abdul Koyair, 20, at Paddington Green police station in connection with inquiries into a chemical bomb plot.
The Prime Minister refused to be drawn on claims that police had "drawn a blank" since their raid on the address.
And he dismissed suggestions of a "Muslim backlash" in the wake of the raid, saying that the community fully understood the need to combat the terrorist threat.

THE jailed half-brother of two terror suspects seized over a feared "poison bomb" plot is a vicious armed robber, The Sun can reveal.

Muslim Council of Britain Threatens Violence

The Muslim Council of Britain’s new general secretary Muhammad Abdul Bari is threatening violence over last week’s British anti-terror raid: Muslims could take ‘law into own hands’ over terror raid: MCB.

The police were under pressure to clear up the confusion over last week’s massive anti-terror raid or risk seeing angry Muslims “take the law into their own hands,” a Muslim community leader has warned.
The Muslim Council of Britain’s new leader Muhammed Abdul Bari said “trust could break down” if the police failed to explain why they launched last Friday’s raid, which has turned up nothing of a reported chemical weapons plot.
Relaying the sentiment that he heard during a visit late Monday to the east London neighborhood which was raided, Abdul Bari said “the message is the confusion, it’s the frustration and to some extent anger.”
Police arrested Mohammed Abdul Kahar, 23, and his brother Abul Koyair, 20, during the raid on their home at dawn by 250 officers. Abdul Kahar, who was shot and wounded, and Koyair have vehemently denied involvement in terrorism.
“People want to know what exactly happened and about the intelligence — is it genuine information, is it flawed — these are the questions police have to answer as soon as possible,” Abdul Bari said Tuesday.
“Trust could break down if things are not clarified,” said Abdul Bari, the secretary general of Britain’s largest Muslim organization. “Angry people can do anything, angry people can even feel that they should take the law into their own hands, so anger has to be directed into positive action,” he warned.

Islamic Web Site: "Remove All British Values"

Following the anti-terror raids in London, Islamic web sites in Britain and other countries are seething with hatred for the kuffar: UK site: Can we help dying infidel?

Internet sites run by young extremist Muslims in Britain and other Western countries have begun reacting to the anti-terror operation in London in which a 23 year-old suspect was shot.
"What filthy kuffar (infidels)," wrote one user on the Muntadaa jihadist forum. Similar messages expressing hatred for non-Muslims were echoed by other members of the site.
"There is little doubt left in the minds of the majority of Muslims that we are a community under siege," wrote Anjem Choudary, media secretary of the jihadist al-Ghurabaa website. "On the domestic front the British regime have brought in a range of draconian laws targeted specifically at Muslims and which facilitate the kind of oppressive tactics we saw employed on Friday (in the police raid)," Choudary said.
A protest against the shooting and arrests has also been organized by Islamist groups. "Make sure that you are there, we cannot watch the police shoot our brothers and remain silent!" A user said.
A leaflet advertising the protest, entitled "police target Muslims: Will you be next?" charged the British government with "occupying Muslim lands… the murder of innocent Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq, and (being) an active participant of torture experiments with the USA."
'Can we save dying infidel?'
Meanwhile, at the al-Ghurabaa website, a reader sent in a question, asking: "If a kaffir (infidel) is about to die on the road, can we help him?"
He was told that a dying 'infidel' could only be helped on the condition that he was called to Islam.
"If someone had covenant of security with the people he is living with, and the person was not at war with Islam and Muslims, it is allowed to help the person as part of his da'wah (Islamic spiritual awakening) to show his good character. But he must call him to Islam by it, and not do it out of love," the site's web team answered.
A man who wrote in to say he was offended by posters put up by the group in east London was told in response: "The way to better British society is to remove all the British values and to teach the people the Islamic values. If it wasn't for the man-made way of life in britain, we would never have seen such high levels of crime, rape, alcoholism, homosexuality, adultery, theft, burglary, exploitation and terrorism in the UK and the world today! Rather we must continue to struggle and change the British way of life and introduce and teach the Islamic values to all, so that all the people in Britain can flourish."
Members with usernames such as Zarqawi, and the base (al-Qaeda) continue to fill English-speaking Islamist forums with jihad rhetoric.
Quoting an Islamic medieval scholar, one forum member wrote: "The Jews are the cursed nation whom Allah is angry with. They are the people of lies, fabrications, treachery, conspiracies, and are murderers of Prophets and Messengers."
The same post describes Christians as "misguided cross worshipers. They are those who swear at Allah the Creator… and their biggest curse against Allah is the Trinity. According to the Christians, Mary is the lover of Allah and Jesus is His son. They claim the Almighty God came down from his great chair and melted in the womb of Mary, until he was killed and buried at the hands of man…They drink alcohol, eat pork, desert circumcision, worship with impurity and eat everything, even if it is filthy, whether that be the elephant or the mosquito."

"Religious" Man Shot in British Anti-Terror Raid

British police have shot a Muslim man in an anti-terrorism raid, but if all you read are reports from al-Reuters, you might never know there’s a connection to Islam:

British anti-terrorist police, backed up by the bomb squad and officers in protective suits, shot a man in a dawn raid on a house in east London on Friday.
Scotland Yard said the 23-year-old man was wounded after more than 250 officers, acting on intelligence, staged the raid, one of the biggest since last July’s suicide bombings on the capital’s transport system. "During the operation, a man was shot by police and has been taken to a nearby hospital," a statement said.
No details about the shot man or what had provoked the raid were given. The man was arrested in hospital on suspicion of "the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism," police said. A 20-year-old man was also arrested at the scene and was taken to a central London police station for questioning.
The shooting incident has been routinely referred to the Independent Police Complaints Commission, who said the man’s injuries were not life-threatening and one shot had been fired. Police said the operation followed close liaison between security services and the Health Protection Agency, a body charged with guarding against infectious diseases.

And two Ministry of Defence scientists - one male and one female - who are working on producing a vaccine for bubonic plague have been called to the house to check for plague spores. 'We were told on Friday that we were needed to check the house because of our expertise on the plague project,' said the male scientist. 'We were told to drop everything, pack a bag and stand by to be driven to London.'
Sky News, citing unnamed sources, said the raided house had been a suspected bomb factory.

It was a chemical suicide vest — and it’s missing

THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT WHO RAPED A GIRL OF 12

AN illegal immigrant raped a girl of 12 and assaulted her friend aged 14 after the Home Office failed to deport him.
Mohammed Murad, 29, is now serving seven years after he plied the young runaways with booze and drugs, then attacked them as they slept.
The Bangladeshi restaurant worker's visa had run out - but he simply ignored deportation papers and was never picked up.
Police only learnt about the bid to kick him out during the court case.
Local Tory MP Henry Bellingham yesterday said he would write to Home Secretary John Reid over the fiasco and ask questions in Parliament.
He stormed: "Confidence in the Immigration Service is in meltdown.
"We're not talking about stealing a handbag here. He's guilty of some of the worst crimes known to man."
Murad lured the vulnerable girls to his flat in King's Lynn, Norfolk, in May last year with promises of food.
But he gave them alcohol and pot and made them strip for card games.
When they returned the next day, he again gave them drink and drugs and attacked them when they fell asleep.
Murad also made them perform sex acts on him and took lewd photos.
The pervert was convicted of rape, two counts of attempted rape and 12 other sex offences.
Judge Alasdair Darroch recommended he be deported after half his term and said at Norwich crown court: "It was your business to control yourself, not destroy their lives." The Home Office would not say how long he was here illegally, adding: "We can't give details of an individual's case."

England expects flags

TODAY The Sun goes into battle to defend the right of all English men and women to fly our national flag.
Nothing unites the nation quite like sporting passion.
And nothing gets small-minded killjoys on their high horses quite like signs of national pride.
The sight of English flags proudly fluttering all around the country ahead of this month’s World Cup has got the petty jobsworths up in arms.
They brand anyone who dares to show their love for our country as racist — and sneer at anyone who takes pride in being English.
We have news for them. Patriotism is NOT a dirty word
The cross of St George no more belongs to the loony busybodies than it does to loathsome bigoted racists. It belongs to us — the English — whatever colour our skin; whatever our cultural or religious background.
Today, in the spirit of our patron saint, The Sun calls for the slaying of the dragon of political correctness — and urges readers to fly the flag with pride.
Killjoys at cable giant NTL are among the latest party-poopers — ordering van drivers and subcontractors to tear down their flags in case they offend Muslims.
One shocked driver said: "If we’re seen with any flags on our vans we’ll be given a written warning."
The company insisted: "We work in many multicultural areas and in different countries within Britain so we want to maintain a professional image and a sense of impartiality." Among others to be hit by a flag ban are:
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS at Heathrow’s Terminal 5. Bosses claim St George crosses pose a health and safety risk — because the flags might get caught in the wind and fly on to a runway.
TAXI DRIVERS in Blackpool — also banned from wearing England shirts in case they upset foreign visitors.
CABBIES in Cheltenham, Gloucs, who have been threatened with having licences revoked. The council claims flags are dangerous since they could fall off — a view now backed by Hampshire Police.
They want a blitz on drivers flying "unsafe" flags, claiming they could frighten horses and strike pedestrians.
FIREMEN in Barking, East London — barred from hoisting the flag at their station. The ruling was imposed despite Barking Mosque Secretary Ashfaq Siddique declaring: "We’re not offended — it’s a national flag!"
TESCO also got in on the act by banning its lorry drivers from flying the flag — although the supermarket giant later backtracked. Yesterday Massoud Shadjareh, leader of the Islamic Human Rights Commission, claimed English or British flags still conjure images of racism and the British National Party.
But The Sun says that banning ordinary English men and women from flying the flag only surrenders it to the moronic minority.
It is up to us all to clamp down on bigots who would use our national flag to excuse vile behaviour.
The town hall tyrants hell-bent on spoiling the World Cup party should hang their heads in shame. Most of the country’s Muslims are happy to get behind the flag — although there are some who never will.
Anjem Choudary, a former leader of the Islamic extremist group Al-Muhajiroun, claimed the St George flag symbolised a bloodthirsty past. He said: "The cross does represent Christianity and for Muslims it also represents a crusader history of occupation and murder."
