Militants in Europe Openly Call for Jihad and the Rule of Islam

[floda]

UTON, England, April 24 — The call to jihad is rising in the streets of Europe, and is being answered, counterterrorism officials say.

In this former industrial town north of London, a small group of young Britons whose parents emigrated from Pakistan after World War II have turned against their families' new home. They say they would like to see Prime Minister Tony Blair dead or deposed and an Islamic flag hanging outside No. 10 Downing Street.

In Hamburg, Dr. Mustafa Yoldas, the director of the Council of Islamic Communities, saw a correlation to the discord in Iraq. "This is a very dangerous situation at the moment," Dr. Yoldas said. "My impression is that Muslims have become more and more angry against the United States."

"Iraq dramatically strengthened their recruitment efforts," one counterterrorism official said. He added that some mosques now display photos of American soldiers fighting in Iraq alongside bloody scenes of bombed out Iraqi neighborhoods. Detecting actual recruitments is almost impossible, he said, because it is typically done face to face.

2. Is this,....propaganda, exaggeration or for real?

None of those three choices are positive or good.

Why ever would they be upset at the US, It's not like the US is currently engaged in a Crusade and both canadates for the office of President are anti-palistinian...

Oh wait... We are/they are.

8. Agreed. Besides, Muslims aren't the only ones who are angry.

There are people around this globe, including Americans, who are outraged at this administration.

7. After getting a taste of the rule of the West

What would you be calling for if you were a Muslim? An elegant dinner-party with Bush & Blair.

It's not like the US, the UK and Israel weren't warned.

Had to go ahead anyway didn't they with their crazy crusade but now all those flag-waving fools who were yelling for revenge against people who had never done anything to us don't like the results.

Well, tut, tut.

The New York Times of course, is only too happy to shill for more bad blood in the idiot king's "crusade".

9. I was raised in Luton, the town mentioned in this article.

It hardly ever makes the news, except when the Monty Python gang are
leaving town, they always mention that they are leaving from Luton Airport.

There is a sizeable Indian and Pakistani community there but I don't
think very many of them are dangerous. Of course, they are not alone in wanting Blair out of Downing Street, nothing wrong with that.
