Mosque: Incubator and HQ for Islamic Terror

Hizb ut-Tahrir influence in all 3 recent bomb plots. The mosques must be monitored.

"I think it was a coincidence that the mosque is connected to the terror cases,’ Al-subeihi told Berlingske Tidende newspaper. ‘There aren’t any activities for young people at the mosque. It’s more the older generation that goes there."

Co-ink-keydink? Yeah we'll buy that. We buy anything!

Heimdalsgade Mosque, Copenhagen

 

No young people? What are these? Midgets?

Mohammed el-Banna, an imam from the famous family of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna, said, “They like heroes, and heroes, from their point of view, are not those who talk but those who fight.” He preaches at a mosque in Heimdalsgade that Politiken, a leading newspaper here, reported had been attended by suspects in all three of the alleged plots. “We cannot check the ID cards of people who attend the prayers,” he said.

Mr. Banna, 49, moved to Denmark from Egypt in 1985. He is a Danish citizen and has four children, the eldest of whom is studying computer science at a university in Denmark. Saying he was speaking for himself and not the mosque, Mr. Banna said that before the cartoon controversy, Denmark enjoyed a very good reputation in the Muslim world, as a nation that did business in the Middle East rather than fighting or keeping colonies there.

The people who have been arrested in the terrorism case in Copenhagen and the former Glostrup case members both have connections to the same radical Islamist environment, having taught in the same mosque in Heimdalsgade in Copenhagen.

Several of the suspects involved in the first case initiated under Denmark’s new anti-terror laws, the Glostrup case, were known to attend the Heimdalsgade mosque. The radical Muslim, Said Mansour, who was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison in April was also known to act as a mentor for many young Muslims attending the mosque.

According to Lene Kühle, a religion scholar at Aarhus University, the mosque is known for being inaccessible to the media and where women are denied entry. In contrast to other mosques, it attracts younger Muslims - especially Danish converts - and is one of the only ones who have allowed the radical organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir influence.

The older of the eight men arrested inthe Glostrup case, SA, functioned as "spiritual leader" for one of the case's main suspects, AT (21), giving him and other youth Koran lessons in Avedøre, and introducing him to the extremist scene in the capital.  SA (29) was released but is still a suspect.  AT and HK, both 21 years old, have been arrested for 27 days on suspicion of planning a terror attack.

Berlingske Tidende's sources say that SA was inspired by Abu Ahmed, self-appointed imam. Abu Ahmed is also related to the Glostrup case, where he provided spiritual guidance for Abu Lifa (recently sentenced to 7 years in prison) and his three co-suspects at the mosque in Heimdalsgade (Nørrebro).

The mosque is not the only connection between the new terror case suspects and the Glostrup suspects.  According to Danish TV2, AT and HK were in telephone contact with the main suspects of the Glostrup case.  The two Glostrup case suspects also knew 29 year old SA, the "spiritual leader" from Avedøre.  In 2004 the three visited London together, where they met imam Omar Bakri Muhammed.  What happened to Bakri Mohammad is unclear. He is believed to have gone from the Muslim Brotherhood to Hizb ut Tahrir, another banned Islamist organisation.

Monitor them? Hell! Knock them all down.

You want to be a Muslim, fine, but do it in your own damned house.

It should be illegal to go to a Mosque and preach or listen to hatred. Thats what Islam is - a religion of hate.

So, knock them all down and outlaw this death cult married to a crime syndicate.
