Storm Track Infiltration: Jihadist Inroads in the UK and A Miss Martyr Camp at the Y

From The Gathering Storm

UK parks are being used to train jihadists, UK Muslim clerics command secret militias, and the YMCA hosts radical speakers at a ‘Miss Martyr’ camp in the USA.

First – the UK.

“Popular national parks in England and Wales are being used by suspected terrorists in Britain to carry out training exercises, a media report said today. A total of 20 men belonging to various groups, some of them with known terrorist links, are being monitored by the anti-terrorist branch of London's metropolitan police after this trend came to light, the Guardian newspaper reported, quoting unnamed security sources. "Police believe they have clear evidence that the men were preparing for a mission of some sort," the newspaper quoted the sources as saying.”

And this too.

“Now that radical imam Abu Hamza is a convicted felon and probably will be extradited and face terror charges in the United States, clerics from other mosques are finally coming forward to tell the world how Hamza sent teams of young supporters -- his own private militia -- in Britain with orders to takeover other mosques. Several clerics told stories of being threatened by gangs claiming to be members of Abu Hamza’s Supporters of Sharia group. Some of the clerics were beaten inside their own mosques, and worshippers were bullied into finding new places to pray -- and the police refused to intervene, they claim. One police official, under condition of anonymity, said that law enforcement executives in Britain were overly cautious about their interaction with Muslim leaders and their mosques. He claims that several radical Islamic clerics possess their own private militias -- fully armed and operating in total secrecy.”

Meanwhile, back in the US of A - Miss Martyr Camp at the Y.

YMCA stands for Young Men's Christian Association. That being the case, why would the athletic group allow an anti-Christian young Muslim girl's organization to use their facilities for a jihad camp? On the heels of their counterpart Young Muslims brotherhood's secret camp, the Young Muslims Sisters (YMS) will be holding their own camp, today, August 18th through the 20th, at the most unlikely of places – Port Murray, New Jersey's YMCA Camp Bernie. While the destination may be different, and the attire might have changed, the speakers at the event will be just as radical.

Those speakers included Imam Siraj Wahhaj, the Imam of the Masjid At-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn and a listed potential co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, Sheikh Ibrahim Negm, the Director of ICA's Islamic Learning Foundation, and Dr. Obeydullah Choudry, the former President of the Muslim Students Association (MSA) at Rutgers University and one of the founders of Young Muslims.

Here’s what the young impressible Muslim girls heard.

Imam Siraj Wahhaj has said about the stoning of women accused of adultery, "If Allah says stone them to death, through the Prophet Muhammad, then you stone them to death, because it's the obedience of Allah and his messenger -- nothing personal."

In his speech, entitled ‘The Passion of the Youth,' which is found on the Young Muslims website, Sheikh Ibrahim Negm indoctrinated his audience with an ultimatum, by repeating the bigoted statement, "With Islam youth are going to be something, but without Islam they are going to be nothing."

Dr. Obeydullah Choudry tried to put a good face on the term "jihad" (holy war), when in his review of the book ‘Jihad in Islam,' he stated, "The disbelievers were fought by the Muslims not for their disbelief but because they showed belligerence or hostility to the Islamic state," and jihad "may be offensive, with Muslims taking the lead in averting the enemy's conspiracies and impending plots."

Some of the other YMS invited speakers have expertise in teaching the concept of death to easily influenced young minds. One of them, Br. Nouman Ali Khan, a former MSA representative, gave a February 2005 speech sponsored by the MSA of Hofstra, entitled ‘Preparation for Death.'

“Another, Sr. Iman Badawi gave a speech at a June 2003 camp sponsored by the Muslim American Society (MAS) of Minnesota, entitled ‘The Life in the Grave.' One of her former campers had this to say about her, "…Iman Badawi and her wonderful style of talking about our deen [religion] always made our camps something else. Sitting outside in the night while listening to one of her talks on death is something to remember…"

I bet it was.

“Recently, the YMCA branch office in the West Bank was firebombed. One of the reports quotes Deputy Mayor and Hamas member, Hashem al Masri, as stating, "I know it is not civilized to attack it, but it is a challenge to the feeling of our people." How ironic that one YMCA is being attacked by Islamic militants, while another is opening its arms to them.”

How ironic indeed.
