Months of painstaking surveillance by MI5 culminated in police swooping on a group of 12 men as they sat down to a £4.99 ‘all-you-can-eat’ halal buffet in The Bridge To China Town restaurant in Borough, South London, late on Friday night, after they returned from a trip to the Islamic school.

Nothing works up an appetite like the inner struggle.

They rounded up a network of alleged terrorist recruiters after spying on them at the secluded country mansion. It is understood the group, which included several recent converts to Islam, were being schooled in fundamentalist ideals associated with Al Qaeda.

I'm betting the UK law enforcement agencies have started to infiltrate these groups. Excellent news.

Hmmm, do you think the "diving thru flaming hoops" training gave them away?

Hopefully the US authorities will learn from this and start acting on the threat here, beginning with CAIR headquarters.

PASS THE BROWN SAUCE, BROTHER!

Ethnic profiling! Discrimination! You know this is only goint to create more terrorists!

They hoped it would be mistaken for one of those flaming polynesian drinks.

Anti-terror police raided what is believed to be Britain’s first home-grown jihad training camp in the grounds of a former English ballet school.

Be vigilent about those former ballet schools.

Gee, I can't believe I'm saying this but, I think the Brits are finally getting it!

fucking aye mateys!

The covert operation involved specialist watch teams tracking the men's movements, telephone calls, e-mails and internet use.

Central to the investigation was the group's use of the Jameah Islameah School, where MI5 is believed to have planted listening devices and mini-cameras to monitor the group.

I wonder what portion of the Brits object to these tactics?

They should have ordered take-out.

"former English ballet school"

"£4.99 ‘all-you-can-eat’ halal buffet in The Bridge To China Town"

What is this, life imitates The Onion? Sometimes you just can't make this stuff up.

...and how much do you want to bet that the methods used by the Brits would've had the Anti-Constitutional Losers United screaming their lungs out about the gubmint running roughshod over their "rights" if they'd have done the same thing here in the US.

Wake Up, America!

JAFLW

_{and please, dear God, get us out of the UN. Please?}

I guess their call for converts is working against them.

allowing easier infiltration. haha

"...‘all-you-can-eat’ halal buffet'

I've just about had my fill of these fanatic cavemen.

Dammit, busted while gettin' down with the halal buffet...

Hate it when that happens

The minute someone opens a "halal buffet" in your town, time to start taking notice.

That's what I'm taking away from this.

What are our anti-terror police doing?

Do we even have any anti-terror police?

Maybe they should check out all the ballet schools in the US. Ah never mind, they're probably filled with democrats. And we all know how the democrats like to dance around the terror threats.

Arrest everyone in padded tights with a beard!

Do we even have any anti-terror police?

Uh, yeah. He have lots of them, from the FBI to the states and their departments of law-enforcement, along with a bunch of other feds, like ICE, Treasury, CIA, NSA, Coasties, and even the military collaborates.

i'm wondering if this cell's attack involved wearing leg warmers.

I saw three swarthy 'Asian' men in pink tutus at Old Country Buffet yesterday. At the time, I didn't think anything of it. But now . . . . .

The Brits have found their balls!

At that point, you have to see if they are consuming the hog. If they are stuffing themselves with bacon and sausage, you know a suicide pact has been struck...

That is your time to move.

If they stick with "halal" choosings, then you are all right, they won't be killing themselves on that day.

...but let's not jump to conclusions...I am sure a very broad strata of British society enjoys those "all-you-can-eat halal buffets...", not just jihadis-in-training.

What is the marketing slogan of this place?

"The closest to heaven you'll get without the 72 virgins!" ?

What kind of fortune cookies does one get?

"You have a beard and are named Mohammed."

"The Jews will soon cower at your feet."

"Your innards will soon be spread about a room full of dead infidels."

So are you all saying the Brits are now the fashion police?

It reminds me of that time when my Youth Pastor was hauled out of the Dennys (all you can eat buffet $5.99)and arrested after our Small arms and mine laying exercise at the church camp.

Why is it that their "holy" men are actively involved in recruiting and brain washing these "people" into jihad and the sheeple are continually told that this religion has been "hijacked" and is really a religion of peace? Seems to me that the people who have hijacked this great religion are the religious leaders themselves. Could I be wrong?

What is the marketing slogan of this place?

Come to where the pleasure boys dine...

They're starting to fill up the jails in the UK with the radical islamists. Good.

Is that Irony?

There are reportedly at least 12 Hezbollah cells in the US, and as many or more radical Islamic groups. I don't think they're here to do good deeds for the American people.

I really don't understand why they are allowed to come here and set up camps. And no one seems to care.

It's really scary!

The banner read: HUNG-LO'S ALL-U-CAN EAT BUFFET WELCOMES THE AL-QAEDA SCHOOL OF TERROR AND DANCE

Is that Irony?

Almost (thumps finger on side of jaw)...

"ballet" is French...

Are they listening here in the USA? I hope they're doing the same here as they're now doing in Britain, and not wait until something happens.

We don't have a hallal buffet but one of our convenience stores is owned by a man from the region once known as Palestine.

Truck Monkey

Dennys!? No wonder, that is KKK hangout, ask Jesse Jackson

I really don't understand why they are allowed to come here and set up camps. And no one seems to care.

Trust me, Monique, we don't just let them "set up camps" like they pull permits and the like.

They do it surreptitiously. In other words, they don't pull permits.

Rest assured that when we find something like that, we kill it.

The guy from sky news kept repeating that this arrest had ties to groups in the U.S.

From THIS swoop, I see a bigger, brighter picture:

Details learned from computers and personal notes seized in these raids, lead to and will lead to MORE RAIDS, and RISING PUBLIC AWARENESS of the seriousness of the DISEASE STATE in England!

The Islamo-Terrorists may get in a few more Splodey-Attacks, but this swoop is already a good sign of a massive re-alignment of resources to deal with these scabrous thugs!

And about time, too, Brit Buddies! Good for you!

And some say that the West hasn't a clue as to the threat.

/treading ever so circumspectly since yesterday, happy to be here

I'll have the egg foo young, but hold the nitro glycerine.

Note to self; tell militia to get caterer.

Too little, too late, for Europe...

Unfortunately for the cell they showed up on Future Martyrs Eat For Free Night.

At least now they'll do a proper pel&acutee; before they chop your head off.

I agree. We have the right dynamic with more and more arrests by UK Police. Next step is for Islamics in UK to complain, public gets annoyed with those complaints.

That reminds me of the time a friend and I were walking in the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs in the spring of 2002. There was a group of Arabs (coulda' been Persians) there, taking photographs of the range leading down to Mt. Cheyenne, NORAD's mountain.

They didn't walk around a lot until my friend and I started trying to photograph them. To a man, they ducked their heads and covered their faces. Other things they did were extremely furtive.

I contacted the FBI that afternoon.

Maybe they were students in Golden, just tired of the scrutiny from the public. But, I didn't care then or now.

I see a major lawsuit developing. Apparently the suspects were treated rather badly.

All of them, even though being isolated, after arrested complained of being hungry exactly one hour after their arrest!

The Bridge to China halal buffet, no MSG but plenty of TNT.

Where did you hear about the cells? How do you know that they've set up the camps?

It's Bush's fault there are training camps in Britain. Can't you see! Bush and Rove drive people to insurgency!

/sarc, natch

OMG I saw a group of asians in Waldo yesterday taking pictures of the G&R Grill (world famous baloney sandwich) and the Village Tavern, I think they may have been down the street at Ingles too! Not sure about the Legion though. OR maybe it was all a ruse to infiltrate Groll's!

Among those being monitored is Abu Abdullah, a British-born firebrand who is an associate of jailed hook-handed cleric Abu Hamza, who has been alleged to have links to the Jameah Islameah School.

Last week, Abdullah was quoted praising the July 7 London Tube and bus bombers and defending suicide attacks against Britons.

Gee, ya think there was something suspicious about that place?

Can't imagine what it could have been...

Jihad & Ballet.

That's right up there with Taxidermy & Cheese, as far as strange pairings go.

Did you see the picture of the place someone posted on the other thread? Pretty fancy-shmancy place, which I would estimate could easily handle 500 students. And they have 9. Smell of fish.

9 students. And nothing else going on. Right.

Anyhow, if NFL football players can take ballet, why not terrorists? They just have to learn to be secure in their masculinity. One and two and three and boom....

Hi Mandy.

This is an excerpt from the Washington Times editorial on May 20, 2005

"Aside from al Qaeda, no terrorist group has killed more Americans than Hezbollah, which is bankrolled by Iran to the tune of at least $100 million a year. Hezbollah's main theaters of operation are Lebanon, its home country (where it killed hundreds of Americans during the 1980s), and the West Bank and Gaza, where it helps Palestinian rejectionists target Israel. But the group is active in the United States as well. Hezbollah is believed to have cells in at least 10 U.S. cities.
Although the organization has yet to launch an attack on U.S. soil, its U.S. activities are far from benign. Its work in this country has two major purposes: One is to raise money and smuggle arms to Hezbollah fighters, often by criminal activities ranging from credit-card fraud to cigarette smuggling; and the other is to conduct surveillance behind enemy lines, with a possible eye toward launching attacks on U.S. targets in the event of an armed conflict between the United States and Tehran. We ignore the group's operations in this country at our peril."

E2m

Was probably some muckety-muck's country place once upon a time, and he couldn't pay the taxes.

But yeah, 9 "students" rattling around in a place like that would sure get my antennae up.

Peilé =Plie

Whatever.

i'm tittering away thinking that considering the ambiance one can't help thinking what evelyn waugh would have made of all this.

Giving these animals the benefits of our freedoms is a problem. The brits have had a great deal of difficulty actually getting convictions to go along with all of the arrests. If they get a conviction, European penal codes and conditions instill no fear in these islamists.

Just make them disappear, I don't need to the good news.

de la Vallette:

The brits have had a great deal of difficulty actually getting convictions to go along with all of the arrests. If they get a conviction, European penal codes and conditions instill no fear in these islamists.

Both we and the Euros are still trying to solve this with cops and courts--ie, it isn't a war, but a law enforcement problem. Hence, all the high arrest numbers.

Once you hear of anti-terror police killing and wounding jihadis in Brooklyn, Bath, and the Bois, then we'll know our governments have accepted the real nature of this conflict: a religious world war.

What the government inspectors found...

[Link: www.ofsted.gov.uk...]

Purpose and scope of the inspection
This inspection was carried out by the Office for Standards in Education under
Section 162A of the Education Act 2002 in order to advise the Secretary of State for
Education and Skills about the school’s suitability for continued registration as an
independent school.

Summary of main findings

Jameah Islameah School does not provide a satisfactory education for its pupils. It
has not made sufficient progress towards fulfilling its aims since it was established.
It does not provide an adequate preparation and strong foundation for the next stage
of the pupils’ education. The school has improved in some respects but not
sufficiently to have a positive impact on pupils’ achievement. It still has a significant
number of major weaknesses. The curriculum is not broad and balanced. Although
there has been some improvement in teaching, the quality of teaching remains
unsatisfactory and prevents pupils making the progress of which they are capable.
Provision for pupils’ spiritual and moral development is good but there are insufficient
opportunities to promote their social and cultural development.
The provision for the welfare, health and safety of pupils is unsatisfactory as the
school does not provide a safe environment in which learning can take place. Pupils
are well behaved and self-disciplined but are given too few opportunities to make
academic progress, to develop a healthy lifestyle and to flourish as young people.
Teachers are committed to improvement but do not receive sufficient training to
enable them to develop their teaching skills. The newly appointed headteacher has
had too little time to bring about the necessary improvements that will have an
impact on teaching and learning.

Like I said before, those Airbus A380's in 800 passenger configuration are going to come in really handy. Not politically correct but I'm usually way ahead of my time anyway

You've got to take a side here: are Airbus shitty planes or not?
Is the A380 a terrorist magnet or the perfect deportation tool?

As for the halal buffet in a chinese restaurant, it must be market forces: you're not going to sell a lot of roast pork belly in a mainly muslim area.

Multiculturalism run amok = europe starts to look more like the desolate areas of afghanistan and pakistan every day. i always thought jihad training camps would be relegated to those obscure places.

i am an idiot.
