UK Muslim Brotherhood Opposes PM Cameron's Plan To Combat Extremism.

UK Muslim Brotherhood Opposes Prime Minister’s Plan To Combat Extremism. (GlobalMuslimBrotherhoodReport).

According to various reports, the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas support networks in the UK are universally opposed to the counter-extremism proposals announced by Prime Minister David Cameron last week and which emphasized the need to combat extremist ideology.

The head of the Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) said the strategies will “cause more hard to British Muslims than good”.

The head of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) said Cameron was “erroneous, wrong and counter-productive”:

UK Brotherhood figure and Hamas spokesman Azzam Tammi wondered in a tweet if David Cameron would “dare call Pope & Catholic Church extremists, or would he dare lable Orthodox #Jews as such.”

Perhaps the most detailed series of objections were contained in a series of tweets by UK Muslim Brotherhood leader Anas Altikriti. In perhaps the most telling of these, and the most representative of the Muslim Brotherhood counter-narrative, Altikriti said that one of the “sure signs of failure” was “failing to admit what every security expert knows; Foreign Policy is key to extremism.”

Rep. Peter King, chairman of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, tells Newsmax TV that Islamic State [ISIS] terrorists may be plotting to explode a bomb in the New York metropolitan area on the Fourth of July.

Making the threat even more real is the fact that a supply of explosives were discovered in the lair of one ISIS operative in the region earlier this month, according to King.

“I’ve been aware of this now for about the last two or three weeks … the real possibility of something being attempted on the Fourth of July,” King, a New York Republican, said Tuesday on “The Steve Malzberg Show.”

“There’s a number of things — intelligence that’s been picked up … and the last week to 10 days, there’s been five ISIS operatives arrested in New York City. That’s not coincidental.


“It’s one thing you say someone’s a lone wolf. You don’t find five lone wolves operating together at the same time.” Read the full story here.

Director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warns Al-Qaeda switching tactics.

Director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warns Al-Qaeda switching tactics.(Yahoo).As many as 60 Canadians have journeyed abroad to train as al-Qaeda terrorists, this country’s spy chief revealed as he sounded a warning over the group’s shift to a much harder to detect “lone-wolf” style of attack. Richard Fadden, director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, also acknowledged Monday that al-Qaeda’s switch to a sole-actor approach to inflicting damage is presenting a problem for Western anti-terrorist agencies. “This really makes things very complicated for us,” he told a Senate committee.
He said this lone-wolf approach tends to attract individuals driven by ideology as well as “serious personal problems,” a combination that makes them more unpredictable. Mr. Fadden was speaking in favour of a new Harper government bill that aims to thwart budding Canadian terrorists who wish to visit foreign training camps. The legislation, S-7, would make it a federal crime to leave, or try to leave, Canada for the purpose of committing terrorism. “There has … been an alarming number of Canadians who have travelled, are planning, or have expressed a desire to engage in terrorist activities,” the CSIS director told senators.
He said he’s worried about the consequences for Canada if these would-be terrorists return home after acquiring the skills needed to cause havoc. Mr. Fadden predicted al-Qaeda’s recent embrace of smaller, leaderless acts of terror is a sign of things to come. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has as recently as last fall published an online magazine called Inspire that called for “open source jihad” and instructed readers to how to carry out their own attacks, he noted. “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom” was the title of article in the Summer, 2010, issue. “My colleagues in Britain, Australia and the United States are of the same opinion: We are seeing an increase in the number of people who are acting on their own,” he said. “When there are a certain number of people involved, there is a possibility of intercepting communications; the chances of errors are far greater. But when there’s one person who’s not talking to anybody, [counterterrorism agencies] have to be really lucky.” The CSIS director served notice his agency is also paying close attention to another emerging trend: the increasing potential for women in Canada to become radicalized as jihadists. He said injunctions against female participation in violent jihad have begun to disappear from extremist websites.Hmmm......Yup the "War on terror" is over ..........in Unicorn country.Read the full story here.
