Dr Mohamed Haneef and his wife in a picture taken at the Sydney Aquarium. Picture: News of the World

THE doctor detained in Brisbane over alleged links to the botched car-bomb plots in London and Glasgow had also spent time in Sydney.

A photo of Dr Mohamed Haneef and his wife taken at Sydney Aquarium has emerged – a souvenir from one of a few trips the couple are believed to have made to NSW.

The joke image shows the terror suspect and his wife in a boat about to be attacked by a shark, with the Opera House and a ferry in the background.

The picture surfaced as chilling details of the car bombs plot continued to emerge.

Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism unit has uncovered evidence at least one of the suspects had been in recent contact with al-Qaida leaders in Iraq, London’s Sunday Times reported.

Britain’s Observer newspaper reported Indian doctor Kafeel Ahmed – the alleged driver of the Jeep that crashed into Glasgow airport – was a known associate of a senior al-Qaida figure caught plotting to blow up passenger jets.

Critically-ill Dr Ahmed, who suffered burns to 90 per cent of his body, was friends with convicted terrorist Abbas Boutrab, who was jailed for downloading information on how to blow up a plane, the paper claimed.

Dr Ahmed was reportedly so badly burnt in the flaming wreck, parts of his mobile phone melted into his body. The News of the World reported he was in such a rush to carry out the Glasgow attack, he didn’t have time to prepare a suicide video, though he did leave a “will of evil” bequeathing his savings to other Islamic fanatics.

The paper also said Dr Ahmed’s house was packed with bomb-making equipment including ammonia, wires, chemicals, soldering irons and triggers.

Dr Ahmed shared the house with Dr Bilal Abdulla, the alleged passenger in the Glasgow airport Jeep and the first man to be charged over the car bombs plot.

The former director of security service MI5, Dame Elizabeth Manningham-Buller, has written in a journal that more than 100 suspects are awaiting trial in Britain in 40 terrorist-related cases.

She warned of the possibility of an imminent chemical, biological or even nuclear attack.

About 1700 terrorists in 200 networks scattered across the UK were plotting an attack at any one time, she wrote in the academic journal article published last week.

She warned it was inevitable some terror attacks would slip under the radar of authorities.

Britain is expected this week to put Typhoon jet fighters on alert to intercept hijacked aircraft should the city come under a 9/11 style attack.

Police are hunting 12 more people who may be linked to the conspiracy in the southern Indian city of Bangalore – home to three suspects held in the British bomb plot.

Police studied the database at the transport office in the middle-class district of Jayanagar from where they had earlier discovered the driving licence details of Kafeel Ahmed.

The Sunday Times said the police were interested in a man it named as Saleem Ahmed, adding investigators were also probing the possibility that fake Bangalore driving licences were used in the bomb plot.

Australia: Downer sounds terrorism alert

‘Don’t go to Indonesia’

Ian McPhedran

AUSTRALIANS have been told to stay away from Indonesia because of an imminent terrorist attack against Western interests in Bali or Jakarta.

Security agencies detected a sudden rise in “chatter” between known terrorist groups late on Saturday night.

The chatter, picked up by Australian electronic intercepts, indicated an attack – linked to the recent arrest of Jemaah Islamiah leader Abu Dujana – was to take place.

Howard warning: Visa system overhaul

Britain: 15-year war on radicals

“These attacks could take place at any time and could be imminent,” the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade warned.

“Australians should consider this information carefully when considering travel to Indonesia.”

The Telegraph reveals a possible connection between the London/Glasgow terrorists and the sinister Hizb ut-Tahrir organization in Cambridge: Islamic charity linked to car bomb suspect.

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.

When it was pointed out that containers of petrol were reportedly found in the car, he said: “Maybe they used to sell petrol.”

* If that doesn’t crack you up, what does? These guys must just sit around, laughing at how oblivious we are to the growing Islamist threat.

Janet Albrechtsen from the Australian: It is time we banned Hizb ut-Tahrir

Banned in parts of Europe and in many Muslim countries, Hizb ut-Tahrir quickly worked out where to set up its home: in Britain. Multicultural Britain welcomed Syrian born cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed who was expelled from Saudi Arabia. The radical cleric who preached violence and cheered the September 11 terrorist attacks headed up Hizb ut-Tahrir, and later led extremist group al-Muhajiroun.

In the land of free speech, Hizb ut-Tahrir preaches its extremist ideology to huge crowds. The Guardian reported on the group’s 2003 annual conference in Birmingham, which attracted 8000 people “by the far the most for a Muslim organisation.”

* Sheik Yer’mami sez: A ‘good’ Muslim is a terrorist!

Al Qaeda, Al Schmaeda

Once again: It is totally irrelevant what these groups call themselves. Hamas, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, Jemal Islamiah, Hizbollah, Black September, Hizb-ut Tahrir and many more – each and every one of them uses the Koran as a war manual, which it is. The ‘immutable’ Koran is the ‘Mein Kampf’ of Islam. Not militant Islam, not Islamism, not extremism, not Wahabism, not fundamentalist something, Islam. Simply ISLAM.

A good Muslim follows the Koran and the teachings of his profit Muhammad, a delusional 7th century warlord who was a genocidal maniac, a serial rapist and child-molester, who made jihad mandatory for every man woman and child in order to spread Islam. Muhammad fought his war’s for conquest, booty and slaves, and his followers worldwide are commanded to do the same.

Volume 4, Book 52, Number 269:

“War is Deceit”- said Muhammad

Islam is at war with the world since its inception:

It is a combination of our own ignorance, political correctness and self hatred that encourages the deliberate, willful stupidity and denial by our elected leaders, those who are sworn to protect us and who diddle while the farm is on fire.

Time for change. No more mosques, no more madrassah’s, no more visa’s for imam’s, mufti’s, mullah’s or other hate-preachers. What we need immediately is a 10-year moratorium on Muhammedan immigration, re-education of those who are here, and if they refuse, what stands in the way of their eventual repatriation? Even if they are born here, if their loyalties lie with the ummah, the nation of believers, they should be encouraged to move to Islamic lands where they can engage in whatever Islam demands of them, like here: “Fighting is prescribed upon you, and you may dislike it. But it may happen that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and it may happen that you love a thing which is bad for you. And Allah knows and you know not.” (2:216)

We cannot coexist!

A letter to the editor of the Cairns Fishwrap, from the Bishop of Cairns, James Foley:

The war against the free world (7)

Meanwhile, the scale of infiltration by Islamists into mainstream British society becomes ever more astounding and alarming. While we are still digesting the indigestible possibility that doctors and other health staff working in our National Health Service have been involved in trying to murder as many British citizens as possible, we learn from the Daily Mail that a convicted Islamist terrorist has been working as a traffic warden in a well-heeled London suburb:

If you don’t like Melanie Phillips, perhaps you like Winston Churchill better, Bishop Foley:

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as
hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The
effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly
systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of
property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A
degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the
next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every
woman must belong to some man as his absolute property must delay the
final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a
great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities.
Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how
to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social
development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists
in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and
proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa,
raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that
Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science the civilisation
of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

More Than 100 People Killed in Iraq Market Blast

* Sunni Muslims come down hard on a Shiite township, showing the world that the Shia are ‘rafidite dogs’… because ‘my Allah is better than yours’

Zarqawi is dead. But there are hundreds, if not thousands like him who are willing to kill and die for Allah… 

TUZ KHORMATO, Iraq —

A homicide truck bomber blasted a Shiite town north of Baghdad on Saturday, killing more than 100 people, police said, in a sign Sunni insurgents are pulling away from a U.S. offensive around the capital to attack where security is thinner.
The marketplace devastation underlined a hard reality in Iraq: There are not enough forces to protect everywhere. U.S. troops, already increased by 28,000 this year, are focused on bringing calm to Baghdad, while the Iraqi military and police remain overstretched and undertrained.

The top U.S. commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, told The Associated Press he expected Sunni extremists to try to “pull off a variety of sensational attacks and grab the headlines to create a `mini-Tet.'”

He was referring to the 1968 Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Tet offensive that undermined public support for the Vietnam War in the United States.

* Iraq is not Vietnam. But the delusions of the Bush government beat Vietnam 2 hands down.

The U.S. military on Saturday also reported that eight American service members were killed in fighting in Baghdad and western Anbar province over two days, reflecting the increased U.S. casualties that have come with the new offensives. A British soldier was killed in fighting with Shiite militias overnight in the southern city of Basra.

In Saturday’s attack — among the deadliest this year in Iraq — the truck detonation ripped through the market in the farming town of Armili at around 8:30 am, as crowds had gathered for morning shopping.

It demolished several dozen old mud-brick homes and shops, burying dozens of people under the rubble, and set cars on fire, survivors said.

While residents and police dug through the wreckage for hours, victims were ferried in farmers’ pickup trucks 30 miles to the nearest hospital, in Tuz Khormato.

Weeping and screaming relatives searched Tuz Khormato’s hospital frantically for word of loved ones. Ali Hussein read the names of victims being moved further north to Kirkuk for treatment. “My cousin died in the explosion, but I don’t know the fate of my brother,” he said in tears.

Abdullah Jabara, deputy governor of Salahuddin province where the town is located, told Iraqi state television that 115 died — nearly three-quarters of them women, children and elderly — and blamed Al Qaeda. Police gave a similar death toll, along with more than 200 wounded, though Tuz Khormato’s police chief, Col. Abbas Mohammed Amin, put the toll at 150 dead.

The attack’s location suggested it was carried out by Sunni extremists fleeing the three-week old U.S. offensive centered at the city of Baqouba, 60 miles to the south on Baghdad’s northern doorstep. The sweep aims to uproot Al Qaeda militants and Sunni insurgents using the area to stage car bomb attacks in the capital.

But U.S. commanders acknowledge that many insurgents fled Baqouba before the assault, and they may have found easier ground for attacks further north.

Reuters Update: Iraq town digs for bodies after bomb kills 150

Iraqi police and residents using heavy machinery and small shovels searched for bodies in the ruins of a market in northern Iraq after a huge truck bomb killed 150 people.
Two police officers in the Shi’ite town of Tuz Khurmato confirmed 150 people had been killed in Saturday’s explosion that Iraqi officials blamed on Sunni Islamist al Qaeda. The officers said 20 people were still missing and 250 wounded.
As the clean-up work progressed fresh bomb attacks in and around Baghdad on Sunday killed at least 25 people, including 17 Iraqi army recruits when their truck was attacked on a road near the capital.

London car bombs are linked with Iraq’s Al-Qaeda

The development has fuelled a theory that the failed attacks in London and Glasgow were designed as a farewell to Tony Blair to punish him for his role in Iraq. Details of the Al-Qaeda role in the three failed car bombings are expected to emerge over the next few days.

Al Qaeda, Al Schmaeda…

May Allah bless the mujaheddin with more names than bullets…

Whatever they call themselves, is irrelevant. AQ is one group of many, a group like a thousand others that share the same goals, that live by the same rules and read the same book: The Koran.

Hamas or Fatah, the ‘Al Aqsa Martyr’s Brigades’-, Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines, Jemah Islamiyah in Indonesia, Taliban in Afghanistan and so-called Janjaweed in Darfur; To us infidels or ‘kuffars’ it should be irrelevant what these fanatics call themselves: All belong to a totalitarian belief-system called Islam, all are soldiers for Allah, all are willing to kill and die to make Islam dominate, to make the world Islamic, and to either kill or forcibly convert us infidels, unless we submit to live as slaves under Islamic rule and pay the Jiziyah ‘with willing submission’…

All are united under the black flag of Islam and use terror, illegal immigration, intimidation, blackmail, kidnappings, all kinds of fraud, deceit and genocide to make the world Islamic.Their ultimate goal is to bring about the caliphate, which is nothing other than world domination under the sharia.

The nutroots are irritated because the terrorists were doctors this time. What’s the big deal? The Muhammedans have already hundreds of lawyers furthering Islam in the West, so why not doctors or any other highly skilled persons?

They are soldiers for Allah and they follow their ideology, nothing else. Especially not the hypocritc oath…

Didn’t the Nazi’s have doctors, lawyers, judges, military people, and each and every profession known to man in their ranks?

The south of Thailand is ‘restive’ again: ‘Rebels’ are killing people…

‘Militants and insurgents’ have been spotted also!

From AFP of course…

AFP/File Photo: A Thai solder patrols in a sensitive area of the troubled southern Yala province, 04…

* Restive” is the mainstream media’s Homeric epithet of choice for jihad activity in Thailand. Here it is applied in connection with the closing of an Islamic school that was linked to the jihadists. Imagine! An Islamic school, where presumably the students learned all about the peaceful teachings of the Qur’an and Muhammad, and yet they turned to jihad violence! Now how could it have possibly happened that the jihad ideology could have gained traction in an Islamic school? Hmm…

Thai authorities said Friday they have shut down an Islamic school with alleged links to separatist rebels in the nation’s restive south, where three people were killed in fresh unrest.

The licence for the Islam Burapha religious school was revoked after seven bomb makers were arrested there on Monday, said Natthaphon Vichienpres, deputy governor of Narathiwat province.

Narathiwat is one of three Muslim-majority provinces where more than 2,300 people have been killed since an insurgency broke out in January 2004.

“A provincial meeting agreed that this school is a gathering place for planning terrorist attacks and it implanted separatist ideology and used the school premises as a training ground,” Natthaphon told reporters.

An eighth man, a 43-year-old religious teacher, was also arrested Friday in connection with the boys boarding school.

Natthaphon said authorities were planning to issue more arrest warrants for teachers and students at the school.

Also Friday, police said separatist insurgents had shot dead three people in the turbulent region.

A 50-year-old Muslim man, a former member of Narathiwat provincial council, was killed in that province as he returned home from a local football match on Thursday evening, local police said.

The victim was accused of having links with insurgents, who are fighting for a separate Muslim state in Thailand’s far south, and was wanted for questioning over a gun robbery. He surrendered to the authorities last year.

* Imagine: you have to read almost through the whole thing before the AFP stringer tells you that ‘insurgents are fighting for a separate state in the south’

In nearby Pattani province on Thursday, a 50-year-old Buddhist woman was shot dead at her grocery shop by two suspected militants who posed as customers, Pattani police told AFP.

On Friday, a 59-year-old Muslim man was shot dead in an ambush in Yala province as he returned home from work at a rubber plantation, police said.

The violence has continued despite peace-building efforts by the military-installed government, which came to power following a coup in September last year.

* Watch also the video by a sanctimonious lisping twit of a reporter, who can’t find anything wrong with Islam, but instead peddles the ‘discrimination’ BS that flies in the face of all the evidence. The lying, grinning imam from the central mosque of Pattani tops it off: ‘We don’t know who is responsible for the violence’-

* Hugh Fitzgerald rips the suckers who fail to protect us and exposes the lies of the Islamofascist fifth column:

This statement issued by some Muslim groups, in order to protect Islam from scrutiny and to prolong the unwariness of Infidels, is a farrago of nonsense and lies.

My favorite is this:

“The unity of our society must be maintained and we must not allow divisions to emerge between us. We must remain friends, neighbours and colleagues, and take Britain forward as one nation – towards a Greater Britain.”

“Unity of our society”? We “must remain friends”?

Well, the authors of this document must then publicly take issue with what Islam tells them to believe, how it tells them to regard Infidels, and how they are told not even to recognize by a greeting the religious holidays — the worthless holidays — of Infidels, unless of course such a greeting, not heartfelt but feigned, is offered in order to further the interests of Islam and its image.

They must further explain all the passages in the Qur’an, all the stories in the Hadith, and all the details in Muhammad’s life that uncompromisingly divide the world between Believer and Infidel, and require a permanent state of war — though not necessarily of active warfare — between them. This doctrine lies at the heart of Islam, a belief-system cobbled together from pre-Islamic Arab pagan lore, stories and figures appropriated (and distorted) from Judaism and Christianity, and all put together as a belief-system useful for justifying, and promoting, conquest of peoples (at first Christians, Jews, and then Zoroastrians in Sassanian Persia) far more advanced, settled, and wealthy than the primitive Arabs who conquered them.

Let’s just start with a simple passage, utterly unambiguous, and see how those who wrote the document above would care to explain it, or harmonize the sly blague they have offered us with this from the Qur’an, the immutable Word of God:

5:51 “O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.”

And yet instead of challenging them on this, the British authorities are delighted.

There’s more:

“British Muslims, who number 1.6 million, are reportedly funding advertising campaigns across Britain that proclaim Islam is “the religion of peace” — in the process also implicitly warning fellow Britons against criticizing their faith.”

……….according to recent polls taken in UK in the Muslim communities, the PRO JIHAD endearment is quite strong….their implicit warnings are the same as the warnings given to many Muslims murder victims just before they are slain….

President Musharraf this morning approved a general amnesty for all those still holed up in the Lal Masjid, the “Red Mosque” of the capital that has been caught up in a firefight with the Pakistani army since 4 July.
The government has also decided to withdraw all the charges leveled against Muslim militants since last February, the period when the latter embarked on the “talibanization” of the country. According to internal sources, the measures were decided to avoid further bloodshed.

By Patrick O’Flynn / The Daily Express

* Peaceful Buddhists, Methodists & Jews demonstrating in London on behalf of oppressed Muslims. Not!

Following the heated exchanges on my blog about the proposed mega-Mosque in London, I have been struck by another aspect of the debate about Muslims in Britain.

People on the radical Left have been accusing commentators like me of suffering from “Islamophobia”.

Lefties like Ken Livingstone use the term all the time. It is meant to carry the meaning that anyone worried about the impact of Islamic values upon our society is a senseless bigot and should shut up.

A phobia is a fear of something. According to the dictionary the term does carry overtones of irrationality. But basically it means you are scared of a particular phenomenon.

So I hold my hands up and say that yes, I am certainly deeply concerned and worried by forced marriages, honour killings, book-burning, fatwas, electoral fraud, veil-wearing and all kinds of other alien customs associated with Muslim ghettos in Britain.

I am fearful about the fundamentalists who wish to establish an Islamic caliphate across the United Kingdom and truly scared of the lunatic fringe who are prepared to engage in murderous acts of terrorism to pursue that end.

But what I do reject is the implication that any of these opinions are irrational. Following the attacks of 7/7 and the many attempted attacks since, it is quite logical to be worried about the separate Islamic communities in our midst which do not share mainstream British values.

By using the term “Islamophobic” Mr Livingstone and his supporters are unfairly smearing the majority of the British public. They are also giving Britain’s Muslim communities carte blanche to avoid changing their ways. They are giving them the impression that, somehow, the rest of us are being unreasonable for wanting to stand up for our democratic, modern society.

This is doing a grave disservice to everyone, Muslims most of all. The truth is that our so-called multicultural society is breaking down. There is no popular consensus in favour of British Islam developing along the lines it currently is heading.

If core common values do not soon reassert themselves then we are heading for civil strife on a major scale in our big cities. Communities are living cheek by jowel with nothing in common and with increasingly contradictory values and aspirations.

In my book trying to dismiss this all and shut down debate by flinging around the term “Islamophobia” is both misconceived and dangerous.

What do you all think?

* ‘Red Ken’ Livingstone is not ‘unfair’– he is an Islamofascist commie rat bag with an agenda, just like the despicable ‘gorgeous’ George Gallowswine, who is deep in the Arab pocket. In a sane world these people would have been tarred and feathered and run out of town long ago. Ask yourself, why must we tolerate the presence of these traitors among us ?
