Muslim cleric wants 'women of mass destruction'
2004-10-09
In a tape seized by authorities, radical Islamic cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri is heard urging Muslim women to breed children for the purpose of creating suicide bombers. Lauding a mother who encouraged her son to carry out a suicide bombing in Israel, the British-based leader said in the lecture: "Everywhere, these are the women of mass destruction to the kuffar [unbelievers], and these are the action [sic] that put terror in their hearts."

The recording, one of dozens handed over to authorities, was reported by British investigative journalist Neil Doyle in his new book "Terror Tracker," which chronicles his efforts to penetrate the internal workings of the al-Qaida terrorist network. Hamza has been indicted by the U.S. on 11 terrorism charges. Authorities are studying the tape to build a case for the cleric's extradiction to the U.S, Doyle said. The recordings were discovered by a British undercover investigator who infiltrated Hamza's group at the Finsbury Park mosque in London. In the lecture reported by Doyle, Hamza refers to a suicide bombing in Israel and says:
"Last week we seen a mother ... she put happiness in the hearts of every Muslim on earth and for years to come. She took her son, she took him herself, and she filmed a video with him for him to go and do a martyrdom operation against the Zionists. She's encouraging him. She's left a message for the Ummah [Islamic nation] — 'this is my son, I'm giving him for you, for the Ummah of Mohammad to wake up, for the mothers to follow!' And he wrote a will and said how much his mother she was encouraging him. And she was waiting all night and after that he went for his mission. Waiting all night, not for the news that her son had passed his A-level [British school exam] or he has got his degree, or he has married the most beautiful woman in the club, but he was shaheed [martyred] and he inflict a lot of suffering and terror in the hearts of Zionists! ... this happened right now in the front of us, in the television [sic], we have seen the tape, you've seen the video — if you haven't seen it, go and ask for it! Everywhere, these are the women of mass destruction to the kuffar [unbelievers], and these are the action [sic] that put terror in their hearts. This kind of women, when they miss their killed children, they don't go and look for their graves ... they look for their position in paradise, so they become more happy, more anxious to go and see them, they want to sacrifice more and more."

#14  Yo! Russia! This is one of the people you should KILL. With prejudice. As in chop him into pieces with a machete and take some home with you for later in a pigskin doggy bag.

#13  The thing that really concerns me is the agonizingly long time that the Brits have pussyfooted around this guy. Hell, they even put him on the dole, IIRC. PC is a mental disease.

#11  I didn't know about the Churchhill Petard . I wouldn't want to be a crewman in that tank, or worse an infantryman supporting it.

#10  Think of it as a 50th trimester abortion. Yes, I know that's harsh, but if the kids are birthed only to die before they reach adulthood, what else is it, really?

JFM, I think you may mean firecrackers.

#9  I got the word from the "Churchill Petard" a special tank used in D-Day. It consisted of a Churchill tank (whose armor was thicker than Sherman's armor) and at end of a long set of metallic arms a BIG explosive charge (several hundreds of pounds). It was used for clearing obstacles and Germans.

I figured "petard" was the proper word for the small sticks of explosive fired by children at July 4th and similar celebrations.

#8  Petard
Haven't heard that in a while. Put in a long fuse to give Abu a chance to dig it out, using his hooks.

#2  Yes. An appropriate punishment for this coward is to wrap him in explosives and detonate him somewhere where he can't do any harm to others.
