Hot, or Not?
The three are the first defendants in Britain to be convicted of inciting terrorist murder on the internet. They waged cyber-jihad on websites run from their bedrooms.
Tsouli promoted the ideology of Osama bin Laden via email and radical websites. He said in one message he was “very happy” about the July 7 bombings in London in 2005.
Tsouli, along with Tariq Daour, a biochemistry student, and Waseem Mughal, a law student, were intelligent, computer-literate men who promoted violent propaganda.
They created chat forums to direct willing fighters to Iraq and discuss murderous bomb attacks around the world. Films of hostages and beheadings were found by police.
Daour, 21, of Bayswater, west London, who was born in the United Arab Emirates, yesterday admitted inciting another person to commit an act of terrorism wholly or partly outside Britain. Moroccan-born Tsouli, 23, of Shepherd’s Bush, west London, and British-born Mughal, 24, of Chatham, Kent, admitted the same charge on Monday.
They are due to be sentenced today. They also admitted conspiring together and with others to defraud banks, credit card companies and charge card companies. Daour had instructions for making explosives and poisons, the court was told. Police found instructions on causing an explosion with “rocket propellant” and constructing a car bomb.
In one on-line conversation, Daour, asked what he would do with £1 million, replied: “Sponsor terrorist attacks, become the new Osama.”
The three men outwardly appeared to be leading normal lives, studying and living with their parents. Tsouli had come to the UK with his family from Morocco in 2001.
Wait, now I’m confused. I’ve been told over and over that Islamic terrorists were uneducated, poverty-stricken, disenfranchised and oppressed.
Well, they won’t be virgins long.
Did someone torture the middle guy by writing on his face with a crayon? (Yes, these days, that’s considered torture:()
Curly, Larry, and Mohammad.
We have been fortunate that these morons are our enemy.
Advances in the physical sciences in the West challenged religion, leading many to embrace materialism as the only truth. Why has this failed to happen in Islam, or is Islamism a reaction to challenges to belief to an Islamic mind?
Subimitting pictures of captured terrorists to AmIHotOrNot.com? I was going to be productive today, but then you had to go and put the idea in my head.
Great, Cincinnatus! Give us the links, please!
“We have been fortunate that these morons are our enemy.”
Except that ‘They created chat forums to direct willing fighters to Iraq…’ Who knows how many resultant deaths these “morons” may have caused? Yeah, they look funny – but I still consider them my enemies and take them seriously.
Laughing at our enemies is a time-honored American tradition. It doesn’t mean they are not taken seriously.
Hear: Spike Jones — “Der Fuehrer’s Face”
I am particularly impressed by the excerpt about what the one fellow said he’d do with a million pounds. He’d SPONSOR terror. These sorts of scoundrels are always willing to send pawns to do their murders for them.

Sidney, Clayton, Mohammad, Jagdish…

Geezer;
Exactly right. From Taymiyya to Wahab to Riva to Qutb to bin Laden the mantra is the same with little variation: Falling from the original “true” faith is the result of power mongering, materialisnm, secular/pagan influences and, worst of all, the insidious faith cancer that is Western influence, political(democracy,) economic (materialism) and cultural(sex, equality and loose morals.) You have to read Qutb’s description of a 1947 church social dance he witnessed on his student trip to the US. Seven Day Roman orgies have been described with less shock and power.
We could call these guys some cute name like “radical priggish prudes” if it weren’t for that inconvenient fact that they like to blow up shit and kill as many non-prudes, infidels and apostate Muslims as they can.
Of course, we evangelical Christian conservatives are really prudes and quite the problem, dontcha know. Well, Rosie says so…
These sorts of scoundrels are always willing to send pawns to do their murders for them.
And here’s yet another example of Jihadist Heroism ™:

Hey, you think we can get Budweiser to sponsor a new advertising campaign?

I take my enemies seriously too. Nancy Pelosi, Charles Rangel, Harry Ried, Trent Lott, George Bush. When oh when will the treason trials finally start? We already have laws against treason on the books. When can we start enforcing them?????
Say, #17 was rather well done, I think.
Agree, Major John. Sometimes LOL is true.
Thanks, Gents.
Poopstain, in a hurry to see yourself convicted?
BTW, is it me or does the one in the middle look like he’s still trying to convince Allah that he has both X and Y chromosomes?
Actually, Pouty-Boy looks like he’s just realized that he’s going to end up being somewhere between #58 and #71 for someone else.
The guy in the middle is obviously there to provide the MWR function – as butt boy.
I’d let him off with time served.
And what’s the deal with the Prince Valiant hair style?
I read ahead and saw that they were not, in fact, the Glasgow terrorists, so the answer is “Not Hot”. (Was that against the rules?)
You rat! Start posting again, you bastard!
The guy in the middle looks like he got a little ‘good news’ from the police on the way to the station.
