Blimey! Allahu akbar, mate!

Britain exporting jihad. "RAF find 'Taliban with British accents,'" from Metro.co.uk

AFGHANISTAN: An Islamic group expressed surprise today at reports that RAF spy planes in south Afghanistan have detected Taliban fighters speaking in British accents.
Nimrod surveillance aircraft flying over Helmand province recently picked up voices lapsing from local languages into English with Midlands and Yorkshire accents, according to reports.

Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said he was aware that some British Muslims travelled to Afghanistan to fight when hostilities began in 2001.

He had heard of no cases since then, but accepted it was "not beyond the bounds of possibility", given that the conflict had "dragged on with still no end in sight".

...and given that neither Bunglawala nor other Muslim leaders in Britain have lifted a finger to disabuse their coreligionists in that country of the jihad ideology.
