Caged: British Bus Drivers Admits Terror Charges

A member of the British National Party has been jailed for 11 years after being found guilty of terror activities. Bus driver Terrance Gavan stored a cache of weapons at his mother’s home and had a “dislike” of immigrants:

A BNP member who spent a decade building up a cache of weapons in a bedroom hideaway has been jailed for 11 years.

Bus driver Terrance Gavan manufactured highly dangerous firearms and explosives at the home where he lived with his mother in Batley, West Yorkshire.

Police discovered 54 improvised explosive devices including nail bombs and a booby-trapped cigarette packet at the address, as well as 12 firearms.

The former soldier told detectives that he had “a fascination with things that go bang”, the Old Bailey heard….

…Gavan pleaded guilty to 22 counts including collecting information useful for terrorism and possessing explosives and firearms.” [Source: Press Association]

Wonder where are all the street protests by right-wing non-Muslims against this chap are ? Since they’ve not been publicised in the press does that mean they all support  the actions of this terrorist ?

All Terrorists Are Muslims

Have you ever heard the canard that not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslim ? Well guess what it’s not true. Its a glib statement used to disarm opponents and close down any discussion.  Naturally it does not hold water, there are a plethora of  terrorist organisations the world over not connected with Islam or Muslims in any way. As the following report on a recent murderous attack in Angola demonstrates:

The West African republic of Togo has gone into three days of official mourning, after two members of its national soccer delegation were killed in a rebel ambush before the African Nations Cup in Angola…

…The attack happened in the enclave of Cabinda where the team were heading by bus for a match against Ghana.

The Angolan minister in charge of Cabinda’s affairs promised to pursue the leaders of the FLEC rebels, who have been directing a campaign from Paris for the region’s independence.” [Source: Euronews]

Last time I checked the FLEC “rebels” were not fighting for the establishment of the global caliphate nor were they trying to kill every infidel. If this is so how can the statement “not all Muslims are terrorists but all terrorists are Muslim” be true ?

Indian Muslims Refuse To Bury Mumbai Terrorists

Militants Overcome As Siege Ends In Mumbai

Back in December 2008 Islaam TV carried a news report from Indian television detailing how Indian Muslims were refusing to bury the terrorists that attacked Mumbai.

It looks like after a year the terrorists are still waiting for their burials as Indian Muslims refuse to bury them and Pakistan has not answered calls for repatriation:

A year after nine Islamist terrorists were shot dead (one was captured alive) after a three-day rampage in Mumbai that killed 166 people at two luxury hotels and a Jewish center, the bodies of the men lie unclaimed in a hospital morgue….

…Mumbai police are in a difficult position after Indian Muslim groups refused to provide burial plots for the nine suspected terrorists. Pakistani officials have not responded to requests from India’s Ministry of External Affairs to bring the bodies home to Pakistan…..

…Two days after the gunmen were killed, the Jama Masjid Trust, which manages Muslim cemeteries in Mumbai, said the terrorists were not true followers of Islam and therefore could not be buried on their land. The Muslim Council of India and the influential Darul Uloom Islamic seminary in India’s northern Uttar Pradesh state supported that decision.

The trust’s position reflects Indian Muslims’ sentiment against terrorism, said Zafarul Islam Khan, president of the All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat, a forum of influential Islamic organizations and individuals.

“The bodies should be thrown into the Arabian Sea,” Khan said, anger evident in his voice. Khan added that the government could simply bury them on land that is not consecrated as a Muslim cemetery.

Khan conceded the dispute is a “very peculiar case,” but said “the bodies belong to the foreigners who brought such destruction and mayhem in the country.” {Source: The Salt Lake Tribune}
