UK: East London Mosque Invites 9/11 Hijackers Spiritual Mentor to Address Conference, Flier for Event Depicts New York in Flames....
With any luck a Muslim will explode during the conference......
The End of Time event at the East London Mosque, which is being publicised on internet sites including Facebook, will feature a videotaped lecture from Anwar al-Awlaki, who is banned from entering the United States after allegedly acting as a spiritual adviser to three of the September 11 terrorists.
Mr Awlaki, who lives in Yemen, has been described as "an al-Qaeda supporter" by the US Department of Homeland Security, which has accused him in recent months of using video lectures to "encourage terrorist attacks".
He is due to deliver a video lecture at the mosque in Whitechapel on New Year's Day. Speeches will have titles such as The sound of the trumpet – the real terror starts.
Other speakers will include Suhaib Hasan, who advocates implementing sharia in Britain, and Khalid Yasin, who has described the beliefs of Christians and Jews as "filth".
The publicity material for the all-day event appears to be a clear reference to the attacks on New York, and features meteors raining down on Manhattan, setting fire to the city and shattering the Statue of Liberty.
It has already drawn comparisons with the "Magnificent 19" poster, which praised the September 11 hijackers and was used to publicise a 2003 event organised by Al-Muhajiroun, whose leader Omar Bakri Mohammed was later banned from Britain.
Dominic Grieve, the shadow home secretary, said: "I would be extremely concerned if the East London Mosque, which has said it is committed to peace, diversity and interfaith dialogue, is giving a platform to such individuals."
In October, Charles Allen, America's undersecretary of homeland security for intelligence and analysis, described Mr Awlaki as "an al-Qaeda supporter, and former spiritual leader to three of the September 11 hijackers".

* The sound of the trumpet – the real terror starts
If they only knew!
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with
the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the
dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with
them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall
always be with the Lord.

Dominic Grieve, I would be very surprised if the East London Mosque
was even remotely "committed to peace, diversity and interfaith
dialogue", but I'm not surprised that you fell for it.

You stole my comment, ML. Mr. Grieve would be "concerned"? Will he be "concerned" enough to write a "strongly-worded" letter voicing such "concern"? Give me a break. When will Britain wake up and see that these mosques are not simply places of worship, but sanctuaries and training facilities for anti-British action?

* When will Britain wake up ...
I don't see it happening, GW - Churchill died many years ago, and no
replacement is in sight ... just more appeasement & fawning & setting
the stage for sharia in the UK.
