From the Jerusalem Post:
An Iranian terrorist group stated on Wednesday that it was recruiting Muslim British citizens to come to Israel to execute suicide bombing attacks against Israelis.
A spokesman for the group, Mohammad Samadi, told the London-based Guardian that Israel was the primary target of their attacks. “All the Jews are targets, whether military or civilian. It’s our land and they are in the wrong place. It’s their duty to pay attention to the safety of their own families and move them away from the battlefield,” he stated.
He claimed that there were many disaffected Muslims throughout Europe that could volunteer for such a mission. “We understand the suspicion with which Britain, America and other western countries regard their Muslim populations,” he said, adding “We don’t condemn them for this because we believe every Muslim has the potential to turn into a bomb against the west.”
The terrorist group, called The Committee for the Commemoration of Martyrs of the Global Islamic Campaign, reportedly received strong support from the Iranian regime […]
According to The Guardian’s report, the prospective terrorists were to enter Israel using European passports under the guise of visiting tourists. Samadi claimed that obtaining a British passport was not a difficult task. He noted that dozens of Iranian asylum-seekers receive passports every day.
This would not be the first time that British Muslims were recruited for a suicide bombing attack in Israel. In April 2003 two Britons were sent to blow themselves up at Mike’s Place restaurant in Tel Aviv. Three Israelis were killed in the attack and dozens of others were wounded. The two reportedly passed between the West Bank and Israel under the guise of peace activists.

h/t San Jose’s Craig C, who notes, “[Groups like this] are utterly convinced that we’re so tied up by PC concerns that they can tell us right up front what their intent is, and we won’t do anything about it. Hello, dhimmitude.”
To which I say, well, it’s not that we won’t do anything about it. It’s more that what we do about it is totally wrongheaded, incoherent, irresponsible, accomodating, and weak.

Really gives a whole new meaning to the idea of the “population bomb.”
I’m going to go ahead and open the betting pools here, on when the first blog will pop up that publishes only cartoon images of Muhammed. Surely, someone in America (Boston maybe? New York?) still has stones enough to stare someone in the face and laugh at them. They could have reader submission days, where people send in their crayon/paintshop/pencil drawings for review on the blog. And you could have contests, like ‘Muhammed in the Strangest of Places’, or maybe ‘What Hairstyle best befits Muhammed’ Day. You know, really let those creative juices fly. Wow, this could really be something man.
Shank,
Fun until someone publishes the home address and the Yahoo! directions to the webmaster’s house.
Just giving you a be-heads up.
Egads.
Or, you could get fired from your job at a University for drawing a crude cartoon of Mohammed.
That no one really saw until your local weekly decided to say something about it.
Which led to your resignation/firing from your job as PR director at a university.
Something like that.

Man, Brezhnev had nuthin’ on these guys and their funky, totalitarianish names.
Time to order that darn Farsi language course material from Rosetta Stone…
This has a familiar ring. Sounds very much like the Reconquistas here in L.A.
It’s gonna make for a bloody ugly ululation, mind…
“Allah! Allah! Allah! Oi! Oi! Oi!”
