After two of the men were released last week, the local Muslim community accused the police of stirring up racial tension.
One of the released men, Abu Bakr, later said: "These laws are designed specifically for Muslims. We are feeling the brunt of it all. We are the ones that are being locked up, detained, and then told to go back to our lives."
Mr Bakr told BBC2’s Newsnight the episode would live with him for the rest of his life.
Mr. Bakr's key point: the government, not the terrorists, are stirring up tension.
Newspeak: Notice also how the tension is described as "racial". Islam is an ideology. Even if you insist on calling it a religion, it is still a cultural trait of a person, not a physical trait; hence, it cannot be "racial". The attempt here is to try to get the government to back off by name-calling.
However, a racist crime is being committed here -- by the radical Islamic community. It is responsible for the terrorism, but is also aiding and abetting racism, because, by "crying wolf" about racism all the time, society is being desensitized to the word "racism"; when true racist acts occur, they may not get the attention they need. The blame for all this goes right into those radical mosques, and the Saudi connections that are funding and training those mullahs who are preaching hatred.
In another article Terror suspect tells of time in detention, Mr. Bakr says:
"I'm not playing the race card, but people seem to think you don't have feelings for your parents or your child; if you're Muslim you're like a race from another planet. There's a difference in this country between a Muslim and a white person."
Oh, really? "There's a difference ... between a Muslim and a white person." What about if a person of European descent becomes a Muslim?
You can't help but "play the race card", Mr. Bakr, because you are a racist; you think in colors.
"Prejudice is natural, but taken to the next level it can ruin people's lives."
No, prejudice is not natural, Mr. Bakr. You have to be taught to hate people without knowing them. Who taught you?
"I think the justice system here did prevail, because the judge said 'you've had enough time, charge him or let him go home'," he said.
"I think the justice system here did prevail...." Please repeat that a few more times, and maybe it will sink in. While you're doing that, consider what happens daily to people accused in the Islamic world of something far less serious.
Sky News also has a recap of the situation, minus Mr. Bakr's viewpoints.
Further information on the plot can be found in local Birmingham (UK) sources: Man charged with kidnap and murder plot.
The UK is finally starting to do something about the cause of all this. In an article entitled Muslim preacher arrested over Birmingham speech, the story begins:
Abu Izzadeen, the radical Muslim who barracked Home Secretary John Reid last year, has been arrested for allegedly encouraging terrorism.
Other key quotes from the article include the following piece of Newspeak:
Radical Muslim leader Anjem Choudhury responded to news of his arrest by saying that Muslims were now the subject of a "witchhunt".
A legitimate investigation into a serious situation is a "witchhunt"; the radicals know they can't win with the truth, so they have to redefine the way we think about things by redefining the terms we use to think. Only by changing the meanings of words can they suppress the truth enough to stand a chance.
Izzadeen allegedly praised the July 7 bombers and mocked victims of suicide attacks while speaking at the council-owned centre, according to reports.
Of course, if you draw a picture of his prophet doing that, then that is unacceptable and will provoke a violent reaction.
He is a well-known Islamic extremist who came to public prominence after refusing to condemn the 7/7 London bombings. Instead, he described the attacks as "mujahideen activity" which would make people "wake up and smell the coffee".
Thank you, Mr. Izzadeen, for bringing up some good points: This is "mujahideen activity", and perhaps (and hopefully) it will make people "wake up and smell the coffee".
Inayat Bunglawala, assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Britain, said: "Abu Izzadeen is a character who has made some incendiary remarks in the past. He is someone who the mainstream Muslim community has kept at a distance because of his attempts to create mischief."
Is this true? I bet many in the Muslim community appreciate life in a more secular country, and don't want their community radicalized, which is the clear objective of the Saudi-funded and -supported efforts. But, this could just be al-taqqiya (official Islamic legal permission to lie to and mislead infidels, since a lie to an infidel isn't really a lie).
"This arrest does not come as a surprise to many, I expect, however he is entitled to a fair trial and if police believe he has broken any laws he is entitled to due process."
Actually, what is surprising is that somebody is finally doing something about the cause of all this, rather than just cleaning up after the terrorist acts are committed. And, this may be a surprise among the radicals, who perhaps thought they had the government dhimmied-down already.
And, yes, there must be an investigation and "due process", the implied request for which contradicts all the spouting about "witchhunts".
In September last year, Izzadeen hijacked Mr Reid’s attempt to connect with British Muslims. Amid anger over Mr Reid’s call for Muslim parents to look out for the signs of brain-washing in their children in the fight against terrorism, Izzadeen interrupted the Home Secretary and launched into an angry tirade.
"How dare you come to a Muslim area when over 1,000 Muslims have been arrested?" he said. "You are an enemy of Islam and Muslims, you are a tyrant. Shame on all of us for sitting down and listening to him.
"State terrorism by British police."
Terrorism? Racism? Look who's talking!
