Terrorist Training Camps in Rural England




Oh boy. First the British gave in and bent over for the islamists, then they bore the brunt of their own terrorist attacks and now, NOW the Brits find out that terrorists and gang members arrested were actually trained at terrorist camps...no, not in Pakistan, not in Afghanistan, but out in the hinterlands of rural ENGLAND!
Here's a bit from the MSNBC story:



Security officials believe hundreds of men — including a gang that made a failed attempt to bomb London's transit network — passed through camps set up across the English countryside.

British intelligence and police actually infiltrated the camps with moles and even shot video of the training camp activities...here's another excerpt:



Video secretly made at the camps showed recruits marching with backpacks — like those used by London's transit network attackers to carry their deadly suicide bombs in 2005 — and conducting weapons drills used by insurgents in Iraq and the Taliban in Afghanistan.
An undercover police officer, code-named "Dawood," infiltrated one group and captured cell phone video of the training. One clip showed trainees rehearsing a beheading with a watermelon

So the question for Americans is this: Do we poke fun at the dhimmi Brits or do we look at ourselves and say, "Is this going on in America?" I'd say chances are very good we have camps right here on U.S. soil and if you don't believe me, well...don't say I didn't tell you so.



Network of terrorist camps in rural England

LONDON - Clad in mud-smeared combat fatigues, the young Muslims trained on picturesque British farmland, hurling imaginary grenades, wielding sticks as mock rifles and chopping watermelons in simulated beheadings.
A four-year inquiry, which came to a close Tuesday with guilty pleas from the last two of seven gang members, has exposed a network of alleged British terrorism training camps meant to prepare recruits for mass murder.
Security officials believe hundreds of men — including a gang that made a failed attempt to bomb London's transit network — passed through camps set up across the English countryside.

Investigators say it was a worrying discovery at the heart of Britain's homegrown terrorism: training camps once thought to be exclusive to northern Pakistan or Afghanistan are being held in sleepy rural England.
"The exposure to that ideology — that radicalism, that extremism, that 'them-and-us' mind set — starts here on our streets in Britain," a former extremist, Ed Husain, told Britain's first police counterterrorism conference in Brighton.
Husain said British officials had been too tolerant of Islamic radicalism taught in universities and mosques during the 1980s and '90s.
The two training camp ringleaders — one who claimed to be the "No. 1 al-Qaida in Europe" and the other who nicknamed himself "Osama bin London — will be sentenced next month on charges of running the camps and inciting participants to murder. Five others were each sentenced Tuesday to at least 3 1/2 years in prison on charges of attending terrorism training.
