Update:

Australia: Somali jihadists operated out of mosque

Here is yet another story that follows the now-familiar pattern: a Westernized, secular Muslim becomes more religious, joins a prayer group, and ends up being caught up in terrorist activity. Yet despite the recurrence of this pattern, we are simultaneously commanded, on pain of being branded a “bigot” and a “racist,” to adopt unquestioningly the dogma that those who commit violence in the name of Islam are twisting and hijacking the religion. The implications of the fact that the “hijackers” seem always to claim that they represent true and authentic Islam, and to be operating out of mosques, seem to escape all the learned analysts.

Decent Fellows Update: “Somali terror suspects ‘new to mosque,'” by Drew Warne-Smith and Lauren Wilson in The Australian, August 6 (thanks to Jihad Watch):

SOMALI terror suspects Saney Edow Aweys, Yacqub Khayre and Abdirahman Ahmed began attending the controversial 8 Blacks prayer centre in North Melbourne this year, only a few months before they were charged with plotting a terrorist attack.Police and intelligence agencies have long regarded the old snooker hall turned makeshift mosque, nestled behind a 7-Eleven store on Boundary Road, as a key hub in the militant islamist net-work.

Agencies had placed the hall under surveillance.

All three accused had previously prayed at another Melbourne mosque — the name of which is suppressed — before moving to 8 Blacks, where they took religious instruction in the same small “reading group” throughout this year. Read the whole thing>>>

The arrested Somali’s won’t stand for the judge and call Australians the “real terrorists”- straight from the Al Qaeda playbook….

A tiny, unrepresentative minority of Somali Australians – charged over an alleged terrorist plot – turns out to have a few friends:

“In principle, Jihad is an offensive Jihad, which was instated in order to spread Islam throughout the world”

An American branch of this group met recently in Chicago. No one seemed to mind. Note also that when non-Muslims point out that according to mainstream Islamic teaching, “in principle, Jihad is an offensive Jihad, which was instated in order to spread Islam throughout the world,” thuggish pseudo-moderate groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations charge them with “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.” But don’t hold your breath waiting for CAIR’s Honest Ibe Hooper or Brave Ahmed Rehab to charge Salah Al-Din ‘Adhadhda or Muhammad Ibrahim with “bigotry” and “Islamophobia.”

“Lebanese Islamists in Favor of ‘Offensive Jihad’ to Conquer the World and Impose Islam,” from MEMRI, July 21 (thanks to JW):

Following are excerpts from a public address delivered by members of the Islamist group Hizb Al-Tahrir in Lebanon, which aired on Al-Jazeera TV on July 21, 2009.Salah Al-Din ‘Adhadhda, member of the press bureau of Hizb Al-Tahrir in Lebanon: We have come here to talk about the pinnacle of Islam – Jihad for the sake of Allah. Since Jihad – like other precepts of the Shari’a – has been subjected to distortion and perversion, due to the ideological and cultural invasion from which our nation continues to suffer, and since the nation has lost the true meaning of Jihad, and in the mind of many of us, Jihad has become tantamount to resistance, conducted by a group of young Muslim men with some capabilities – the Jihad of a nation over 1.5 billion strong has been reduced to the killing of an American in Iraq, a Briton in Afghanistan, a Jew in Palestine, or a Russian in Chechnya. Thus, the nation takes to the streets of its cities to celebrate the killing of a dozen here or a hundred there.
