Now British police - Scotland Yard's anti-terrorist branch - is investigating Bakri Mohammed's online sermons and having discussions with the Crown Prosecution Service. They found out, for one thing, that he has held an Al Qaeda recruiting rally this month. At the British headquarters of the Quaker movement, no less (they were not informed what the metting was about).
"I declare we should ourselves join the global Islamic camp against the global crusade camp," - said Bakri Mohammed. He can consider all Christians or the Western world in general as an enemy, of course, but doesn't it strike him that declaring war on the enemy while being in the enemy camp and surrounded by overwhelming numbers of the same enemy might not be the most winning survival strategy? OK, the man is a cleric and not a general, but you really don't need to be an Einstein to figure that one out. I recommend him Carl von Clausewitz, On War, book 3, chapter 8. The warfare has changed a lot since Clausewitz's times, but it's still not worth attacking the UK with an army of 600 thugs.
