British-based jihadi forum calls for spread of riots to UK cities

A posting this morning on a well known Arabic-language jihadi forum based in the UK is calling the Muslims in London and other British cities to follow the example of the Muslims in France, and take to the streets.

The individual posting the comment has only posted 14 times in the
past, although the individual has been registered since April of this year.

It is impossible to determine the credibility of the post; however, the posting has been reported to law enforcement in the UK.

It is interesting to note that the posting follows closely the format of the postings that are used by Al Qaeda of Mesopotamia to take credit for attacks in Iraq. It is not commonly seen in casual postings on message boards.

The posting was made in Arabic, and appears to have been written by a native speaker of Arabic - the grammar and spelling of the posting are correct.

The translation follows:

In the name of Allah, the merciful, the compassionate.

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the words; and prayers and greetings to the Prophet Mohamed, to the mujahideen, and to his family and companions.

And then:

My brothers in the ummah in London, why do you let your fellow Muslims in Paris take the burden only upon themselves. Why do you not join them in the streets? Why do you not take your place in the jihad.

Our brothers in France are setting the Crusaders on fire. And you, do you not feel the sting every day? Do you not find yourselves set upon by the kufirs? Do you not see your brothers in Guantanamo and Iraq and Afghanistant and Chechnya and Palestine tortured and killed each day?


It is time for each of us to step up to take our place in the jihad. Spread the fire of Islam to all the Crusaders. Destroy their land like they have destroyed our lands in Palestine and Iraq and Afghanistan and Chechnya.
