Al-Muhajiroun: Muslims must stay away from Bush protests or face death

Abu Hamza al-Masri | 17.11.2003 19:11

Finally, we would like to emphasise that regardless of the high and real risks involved, it is not allowed (i.e. Prohibited) for any Muslims to participate in any demonstrations organised by non-Muslims, be they MP's, communists, anarchists or socialists, such as those demonstrations which are in fact due to take place on the day in question.

PRESS RELEASE DATED 14TH NOVEMBER 2003 - It is entirely understandable why Muslims and non-Muslims will be demonstrating on the 20th of November 2003 when the Pharaoh of today, George Bush, comes to London in his state visit to Tony Blair, his partner in crime. The list of reasons to demonstrate includes atrocities committed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and Palestine, the call to stop further aggression in Iraq, the call to stop the funding of the pirate State of Israel and the call for the punishment of Bush and Blair for their many and continuing crimes.

However, this time around many Islamic Movements will not be demonstrating due to the overriding grave and very real threat of an operation, similar to 9/11, against the US President in light of the various specific warnings and threats which have been made by Sheikh Usama Bin laden and Al-Qaa'eda in their press releases against the US and UK.

With this in mind we, Al-Muhajiroun, urge those within the Muslim community to be responsible and not to encourage Muslims to demonstrate on the 20th of November 2003, which might thereby make Muslims part of a target if any operation does take place. It is a responsibility upon the heads of all Islamic Movements to warn Muslims of this danger and the wise people among non-Muslims will no doubt do the same. In particular we remind those secular bodies such as the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) and the Islamic Society of Britain (ISB) not to demonstrate and not to ask any Muslims to demonstrate in light of the risks recognised by all responsible bodies.

The UK government's security measures are therefore wise considering the hatred held for George Bush across the world for the heinous crimes committed by his fascist regime (together with the dictator Blair) in Afghanistan and now in Iraq. Although Muslims in Britain have a covenant of Security and are therefore not allowed to target anyone in the UK, the same evidently does not apply for Muslims from abroad or who do not have such a covenant, as was transparent on 9/11.

In addition we must ensure that Muslims stay away from any high risk targets in general, such as the Israeli and US embassies, which would appear to be higher on the list of potential targets.

Finally, we would like to emphasise that regardless of the high and real risks involved, it is not allowed (i.e. Prohibited) for any Muslims to participate in any demonstrations organised by non-Muslims, be they MP's, communists, anarchists or socialists, such as those demonstrations which are in fact due to take place on the day in question.

Religion Sucks

17.11.2003 19:29

We Americans have become highly sensitized to the negative effects of religion upon public life. I agree, the religious should take no part in political events: For 99% of the time they will be supporters, not opponents of people like Bu$h.

Churches and other religious entities should be resolutely denied any public space and especially any public subsidy whatsoever.

The Muslim Association of Britain will be out on the streets on Thursday.

The press release went out on the 14th. Al-Muhajiroun was set up as a splinter from banned student group Hizbut Tahir.

The man behind Al-Muhajiroun, Omar Bakri Muhammad, was born in Aleppo, Syria, in 1958 and grew up in a wealthy Muslim family, becoming a serious student of Islam and the Koran.

According to the Middle East Media Research Institute, Muhammad portrays himself as being the spokesman for bin Laden's International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders and according to MEMRI has admitted that the organization raises funds for the Hamas, the Islamic Jihad, and is "in touch" with the Hizbullah.

According to MEMRI, Muhammad has lived in London since 1985 and preaches at a number of London mosques. He also routinely presents himself as a spokesman for the International Islamic Front, which he describes as being the political wing of Osama bin Laden's Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders.

Muhammad has also been linked to British suicide bombers in Israel and has also issued calls to overthrow the British government.

What You are suggesting is that muslims stay away from protests...
and this is absolute and total cowardice.....
you bow to the same master that is busy enslaving your religion and way of life....???
the same master that orchestrated the"terror attacks" known as 911
muslims were not on any of those four" hijacked planes" Ihave the passenger lists the official story is all total bullshit......
for instance t`he part about the "islamic extremists passport" miraculously flutterin down to the streets after having survived the 1000% plus temperatures of an exploding jet airliner which not even the er..balck box flight recorders survived which are purpose built to do so.......so do we now have fire retardant passports in our midst?
you had better wake up and stop hiding behind your religion ......
the truth is is that life is good for you in the uk the job the money the house the mortgage etc,,,and you will let nothing rock your dirty little boat....you grow fat and complacent while thw very same terrorisy organisation you bow to{UK and US govt} are routinely murdering YOUR "muslim brothers and sisters"
you are a despicable example of cowardice

yes it does, but

but Americans seem to be convinced that merely denying public status to religion has any impact on how it operates. speaking as a citizen, there's no doubt that religion runs this country, but liberal-lefties think that as long as it's not publicly supported everything is fine. we need to look behind the legal formalities to the social relations that really determine the functioning of our lives...

If this person believes a terrorist attack may happen on the day of demos then he should be telling us all to not go to the demos regardless of religion unless of course he believes non-believers deserve it.

MEMRI is a pro-zionist, pro-bush, neoconservative propaganda engine. Take anything they say with a huge pinch of salt.
