UK: While Others Mourn 7/7 Victims, Muslims Will Be Celebrating

Soon, it will be the anniversary of that fateful day last year, when on July 7, four young Muslims boarded three tube trains and a London bus, with triacetone peroxide (TATP) packed into small black rucksacks. By 11 am, 52 people had been killed, and hundreds more injured, with many victims scarred or maimed for life.

And on the 7th July this year, while those who were connected with the event will be evoking memories of trauma and loss, the Islamic community will be holding a festival, complete with a fun-zone and events for kids, celebrating how "wonderful" Islam is.

With a hat tip to Little Green Footballs, this is like a public celebration of the murders of 52 Londoners. Having lived in London for twenty good years of my life, I find it hard to believe the bad taste of such an event.

If it were only scheduled for a week later, it would be less offensive. But a quick look at the list of confirmed speakers shows that this is a carefully stage-managed piece of propaganda, designed by dhimmis and Islamists to try to obliterate the memory of what four devout Muslims did in the name of their faith.

Not only will the odious Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, be attending the event and giving a speech, but also the new fuehrer at the Muslim Council for Britain, Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari, and the MCB's former secretary general "Sir" Iqbal Sacranie. Sacranie tried to invite Osama bin Laden to Britain in 1996, refuses to support Holocaust Memorial Day, and said at the time of the Salman Rushdie/Satanic Verses that "death was too good for him (Rushdie)". Sacranie also attended a memorial service for Shekh Yassin, founder of the terrorist group Hamas, whom he called a "freedom fighter".

Also giving a speech will be Tariq Ramadan, the controversial Muslim scholar, grandson of Hassan al-Banna who founded the Muslim Brotherhood.

But worst of all, the Islamist leader of the opposition alliance of Pakistan, the Muttahida Majlis-e-Ama (MMA), 67-year old Qazi Hussain Ahmed (pictured). This individual called for a revolution in Pakistan at the end of Ramadan last year. The earthquake of October 8 put paid to his plans for an armed uprising.

Head of the Jamaat-e-Islami party in Pakistan, Sheikh Qazi Hussain Ahmad instigated much of the violent demonstrations against the Danish cartoons, which turned into anti-Musharraf riots, in which several people lost their lives. Two died in Punjab province, and three were killed in Peshawar.

Qazi Hussain Ahmad was placed under house arrest at his home in Lahore in late February this year, to prevent him instigating more riots.

According to Norway's Aftenposten, which exposed his views when he was invited to speak in Groenland, Oslo in 2004: "Qazi Hussain Ahmed has earlier made flattering comments about Osama bin Laden, and his party, Jamaat-e-Islami, also has hailed al-Qaeda members as heroes."

"The party also has allegedly encouraged its members to shield al-Qaeda members who are fleeing US troops in Afghanistan. Because of this, both Belgium and the Netherlands blocked his entry as late as May of this year."

Qazi runs a madrassa, from where "thousands of fighters" were provided to the Taliban when they seized power in Afghanistan.

In 2003, four leading Al Qaeda members were found in the homes of members of his party, Jamaat-e-Islami, although Hussain Ahmad has denied that its women party members shielded Al Qaeda terrorists.

Last July, an article in CNS News reported that Yehudit Barsky, director of the Division on Middle East and International Terrorism at the American Jewish Committee claimed that Jamaat-e-Islami "is not just a political party. They are known to have hosted and assisted bin Laden in Pakistan and have supported the Taliban."

Qazi Hussain Ahmad had links with a US group calling itself the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), which was based in Woodside, New York, and was under federal investigation last July.

According to CNS: "Qazi Hussein Ahmed has called the United States a "world terrorist." He has also advocated "martyrdom operations" in Iraq, Israel, Chechnya and Kashmir. JI boasts of maintaining "close brotherly relations" with and "practical links" to the Middle Eastern terrorist group Hamas."

"Terrorism experts say Ahmed met with al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden in Sudan and received a "fiery message of support" from bin Laden in 1998. They add that Ahmed had already invited bin Laden to speak at JI rallies."

So between the 6th of July and the 9th of July, London will be having this dangerous and anti-democratic individual, a supporter of terror, preaching at an Islamic festival, called Islam Expo.

And while Muslims and Islamists will be busy promoting their "religion of peace", the relatives of victims, and the survivors of 7/7 will be given the biggest possible insult. And all in the name of multicultural celebration. 7/7 was a serious and odious event, which was never condemned en masse by Muslims in Britain. Following the Danish cartoon saga, a grouping of 300 Muslim imams, calling themselves the Muslim Action Committee mobilised 10,000 Muslims to demonstrate in Trafalgar Square on February 18.

British Muslims cared when some pictures of their child-molesting "prophet" featured in cartoons never published in the mainstream UK press. They never publicly demonstrated against 7/7, to show to the UK that they disapproved of the London Transport murders.

But now, while the rest of the nation remembers, and those with any decency will mourn the loss of our national innocence regarding Islamism, British Muslims will be whooping it up, and spreading the taqqiya lie, that Islam is a great thing for Britain. When presented as tactlessly as this, it is not.

If you, like myself, feel angered that this event is poorly timed to coincide with what should be a national day of mourning, then you can write to the mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, by email.

His email address is: mayor@london.gov.uk

If you wish to gain a written reply, then write to him by post.

UPDATE: Fortunately, Qazi Hussain Ahmad did not get to London in time to speak at Islam Expo, which finished its stint at Alexandra Palace, north London, on 9th July. The Pakistan Daily Times for Friday, July 7, noted that he would only be leaving for Pakistan on Monday 10th July.

However, in London, Qazi Hussain Ahmed will be attending the UK Islamic Mission Conference, and also he will be meeting Mian Nawaz Sharif and PPP Chairperson Benazir Bhutto, though there may not be enough time on his schedule to meet former leader Bhutto. The Daily Times states: "Sources said that Qazi Hussain would try to convince Sharif and Ms Bhutto to cooperate with the MMA in its anti-government movement."
