Hizb Ut-Tahrir and the Denial of the Day

The Telegraph reveals a possible connection between the London/Glasgow terrorists and the sinister Hizb ut-Tahrir organization in Cambridge:

It is an innocent looking semi-detached property in the university city of Cambridge from where an Islamic charity, dedicated to peace and interfaith friendship, operates. The leaders of the Islamic Academy are so moderate that they were recently invited to share a platform with Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Yet there are growing suspicions that this suburban house is where the origins of the suspected London and Glasgow bomb plots may lie, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

The links between Bilal Abdullah, Kafeel Ahmed and others arrested in connection with the alleged plot came as shock to the unsuspecting congregation who gathered to pray at the Islamic Academy on Friday.

Security sources have confirmed to this newspaper their interest in the activities of several of the terror plot suspects in Cambridge. Sheikh Abdul Mabud, the Academy’s chief executive, refused to discuss whether he had been contacted by police.

The academy’s unwitting connection to these events may have begun in May 2004, with Kafeel Ahmed, 27, who is under police guard in hospital suffering from 90 per cent burns sustained in the botched Glasgow attack. Between May 2004 and August 2005, as a PhD Student at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, he rented a room above the academy’s offices and prayer chamber. In the room next door, it can be revealed, was another lodger: the Cambridge organiser for Hizb ut-Tahrir (HT), the radical Islamist movement which has caused such alarm that David Cameron, the Conservative leader, called on Wednesday for it to be banned.

And in the denial of the day, Sejad Mekic, imam of the Cambridge mosque attended by Bilal Abdullah, gave a sermon “condemning all acts of terror”—then proceeded to say that he’s not sure there really was a terror attack in Glasgow.

It might have just been some petrol salesmen who had a car accident.

However, he later said he had doubts that the incident at Glasgow airport was a terrorist attack, saying it could have been a car accident. “I still haven’t made my conclusion,” he said. salesman off the year........not
When it was pointed out that containers of petrol were reportedly found in the car, he said: “Maybe they used to sell petrol.”
