In Contrast - London will host a gathering of fundamentalist Islamofascists on Wednesday, celebrating September 11.
Which isn't the big news - you'll find plenty of Americans, in Berkley, Madison and Dinkytown celebrating the date as well.
Here's the money graf:
The clerics claim that the ICB [Islamic Council of Britain] is funded by Saudi-based businessmen, which, if true, will embarrass Saudi Arabia. The Riyadh government expelled Mr Mohammed in 1986 and recently launched a multi-million-dollar public relations campaign to persuade America that it is rooting out Islamic militants.Celebrating the deaths of 3,116 innocent people.Al-Muhajiroun claims to have secured a six-figure sum for funding the ICB and said it would build a dozen Islamic centres, launch a website and hold seminars and classes for Muslims..."We have been working on getting the funding for six months: it is from a group of Saudi businessmen. Please don't write about this. I am against the killing of innocent people; we are not at war with anybody in this country."
While I've always been happy to be an ecumenical, there are times, deep in the recesses of my heart, when I think Ann Coulter was right...
