Muslim Extremists Preach Violence in Europe

With a Koran in one hand and pistol in the other, the British rapper calls for
the murder of non-Muslims, including several world leaders, on a videotape.
The video is well known in one London mosque, whose imam — or leader — is
accused of setting up a terrorist training camp in Oregon and whose followers
don't like Western media.
Abu Hamza (search), who lost two hands and an eye in Afghanistan, is in jail
now but other extremists from among Britain's two million Muslims continue to
preach violence, veiling the message to take advantage of some of Europe's most
liberal freedom-of-speech laws.
"We cannot tolerate a crocodile in our bedroom," said Sheik Omar Bakri. "U.S.
forces in Muslim countries are crocodiles in our bedrooms. So we are not going
to give them ice cream."
Bakri says the terrorists who staged the Sept. 11, 2001, (search) attacks on
the United States are magnificent and Westerners in Arab lands need to be
killed by any means necessary. He makes the threats with a smile.
"If we use violence, you will forget the name of your mother and father," he
said.
The drawing power of the extremists, especially among the youth, has posed a
challenge for mainstream Muslim leaders across Europe.
Part of Britain's problem is that it can't provide native-trained imams; more
than 90 percent are foreigners with very limited training or, some like Hamza,
have none at all.
To prevent more mosques from being hijacked, London's Muslim college is trying
to educate home-grown British imams but the voices of moderation struggle to be
heard over media-savvy terrorists.
When a hostage gets beheaded in Iraq, the images spread through this community
almost instantly. It is a real mix of barbarity and technology.
The beheading of British engineer Kenneth Bigley (search) in Iraq went from
videotape to the Internet, then from cell phone to cell phone, bringing a smile
from one young British Muslim who says he knows who the real killers are.
"They are not Muslims. They are Jews," the young man said.
An old message of hatred for a new generation of consumers who can spread
murder across a continent with the push of a button, or a song and a laugh.

I had a dream that Oral Roberts, Jerry Farwell, Pat Robertson and Billy Graham
declared war against all muslim extremist but, never got to it
because they killed each other fighting over the war budget.
Tangents are infinite in all of nature in
all universes constantly and at random.
