Robert Spencer från Jihadwatch.org ger följande analys av attackerna mot London:

…Sheikh Omar Bakri, leader of the now-disbanded openly pro-Osama group Al-Muhajiroun, who in April 2004 revealed that a group calling itself Al Qaeda Europe “has a great appeal for young Muslims. I know that they are ready to launch a big operation.” Could “Al Qaeda Europe” be the “Secret Organization of Al-Qaeda’s Jihad in Europe”?

Bakri himself was nowhere to be seen on July 7, but wherever he was, he must have been rejoicing. He has remarked that an Islamic terrorist attack in London was not only “inevitable,” but perfectly justified: “We don’t make a distinction between civilians and non-civilians, innocents and non-innocents. Only between Muslims and unbelievers. And the life of an unbeliever has no value. It has no sanctity.” Just last month he declared: “We’re going to incite people to do jihad, incite people to hate the new pharaoh (President Bush). Why not do more? Maybe take over the Embassy.” In February he spoke of possible suicide attacks at No. 10 Downing Street: “Somebody he fly aeroplane and he decide to fly the aeroplane over 10 Downing Street…. It’s another self-sacrifice operation…What people call suicide operations they mean somebody he wear explosives or he carries explosives and he go and he blow it in the building with the people…Martyrdom is what you want. Make sure you have nothing left behind you to think about or cry for and fight in the name of Allah.”

Bakri has also stated, drawing on the distinction in classic Islamic theology between the dar al-Islam (house of Islam) and the dar al-harb (house of war): “I believe the whole of Britain has become Dar ul-Harb….The kuffar (unbeliever) has no sanctity for their own life or property.”

Ändå insisterar somliga på att förneka de uppenbart religiösa motiven för attackerna mot Storbritannien!
