Saved Sect Threatens UK: “Innocent Blood Flowing Down the Streets of London.”

The website of the Saved Sect, proscribed yesterday by the British government, remains in operation. In fact, the site now hosts a new post by Abu Omar that ends with a threat that unless Britain changes its policies there could be “innocent blood flowing down the streets of London.” I’ll append the entire text since it might well shortly disappear. I’ll comment below.


Do You Condemn or Condone?

By Abu Omar


Oh (so-called) nation of liberations and freedom, oh (so-called) people of justice and civilisation, oh people of Britain; in the past few years we, the Muslims, have been repeatedly asked,

Do you condemn or condone the New York bombings?
Do you condemn or condone the Madrid bombings?
Do you condemn or condone the London bombings?

To those amongst you who have intelligence and possess rational minds, we say: These are ludicrous questions! Neither condemning nor condoning has stopped those responsible for these acts, nor will it ever do so. The people you are dealing with have warned you time and time again and also addressed you, and told you as to why they continue in a path of your destruction. We say to you: Take away the reason for their formation and you will take them away.

To those amongst you that have been denied the gift of intelligence and are convinced by the spin of the politicians, irrationality of ‘The Sun’, and propaganda of the BBC (and all other media outlets): Stop being foolish, listen to our voices and read our words. Your leaders are deceiving and misleading you, they wish for you to believe that they are acting justly and upon moral grounds. They present themselves as peace makers and protectors of humanity, but in reality they and their counterpart America are the cause behind the oppression throughout the world.

Oh people of Britain we have been asked questions for years, now let us ask you a few questions:
Do you condemn or condone a government that has aided in the killing of over a million children in Iraq?
Do you condemn or condone the nations that have taken over 500 hostages to Camp X-Ray for a crime that has no name?
Do you condemn or condone the gang-rape and murder of a young Muslim girl in Mahmoodiyah by American soldiers?
Do you condemn or condone the support to the pirate state of Israel, and its continual bombardment of Muslims?
Do you condemn or condone the consistent cluster bombing of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan?
Do you condemn or condone the witch hunt of innocent Muslims in the UK?

Oh people of Britain, we live with you and amongst you, and we do not want to see innocent blood flowing down the streets of London or elsewhere. We are people of Truth, because we believe in the ultimate truth, that is: ‘None has the right to be worshipped, obeyed and followed but Allah (the true God), and Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah’, and we warn you oh people: the continual invasion, occupation, bombing, killing, murdering, and torturing of Muslims around the world will continue to give justifications to those people that desire to inflict revenge.

And if you do not take heed from our advice and warnings then do not ask us: Do you condemn or condone?

First off, the charge that the United States and Great Britain are responsible for the death of a million Iraqi children is an old canard of the Islamists and the western left. Actually, it began with a figure of a half-million, and even that presumed that there would have been zero infant-mortality in Iraq had it not been subject to the sanctions. Moreover, the responsibility for those that did die due to the UN-imposed blockade rests with Saddam Hussein. Second, I do condone holding the detainees at Camp X-Ray. And they are not being held for a crime with no name. It’s called terrorism. The third one is easy: I’m sure no one in Britain condones the rape of any Iraqi women. That’s why the United States is prosecuting the accused rapist. Fourth, I do support Israel, which I do not consider a “pirate-state.” They do bombard Muslims (don’t Muslims give a shit when Christian Arabs get bombed?) because some of them refuse to accept the fact of Israeli existence and conduct constant terror campaigns against the Jewish state. Fifth, cluster bombs aren’t some kind of new weapon. And sixth, as to the “witch hunt” of “innocent Muslims in the UK,” if Abu Omar is referring to yesterdays’ proscriptions, writing as someone familiar with the material on the website of the two groups, I was surprised they were up as long as they were. Both groups are Islamist and jihadist. They claim they do not support terror, but they praise bin Laden and other jihadists, and consider the British form of government illegitimate and call for its replacement with Islamic rule.

After reading the final paragraph of the article, can anyone wonder why the British government proscribed these groups? Talk about a classic “veiled threat”! But what I find most interesting is the mistake that appears in that final paragraph: Abu Omar acknowledges that if British actions provide “justifications to those people that desire to inflict revenge,” that revenge will strike the “innocent”—“innocent blood flowing down the streets of London or elsewhere.” In the past, the jihadists have not subscribed to the distinction between the innocent and guilty. All Britons were guilty because they live in a democratic country and support, either through action or inaction, their government, which itself is criminal no matter what it does because it vests sovereignty in the people, which is anathema to Islamists, hence the quote about worshipping only Allah.

There’s a “real war” on in the world today. The enemy’s goal is to replace western-style government with Islam. The Islamists do not hide the fact that is the goal they seek. Meanwhile, a core of Islamists—the jihadists—wage war on the West. Is the West expected to allow the Islamists to recruit and spread their message using the western media in the midst of that war? If there had been an internet during the Second World War, would those German-Americans who were pro-Hitler and calling for the replacement of the American Constitutional system with a Nazi dictatorship have had the right to maintain websites to recruit potential members and saboteurs?
