Muslim Cleric Banned from Britain Claims Al Qaeda Poised to Launch Su[i]cide Attacks in Syria
THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: Omar Bakri Mohammed, the radical cleric banned from the United Kingdom for 'glorifying terrorism', has told the Daily Telegraph from his base in the Middle East that al Qaeda is poised to wage war against the Syrian regime.

Bakri, once nicknamed the 'Tottenham Ayatollah', said hard line Salafi Muslim groups, including al Qaeda, and his own Al-Ghuraba group, also proscribed in the UK, are ready to help their 'Muslim brothers' with a campaign of suicide attacks against President Bashar al Assad.

"In two or three operations, [al Qaeda] can make the Ba'ath party run away," he added. "With self sacrifices operations – you call them suicide bombings, al Qaeda will go to the Parliament when the Ba'ath are inside, he will explode and he will say 'Oh God receive me. Oh God I am hurrying towards you'".

"Al Qaeda are so clever, they can make so many weapons from nothing. They can go to any kitchen, make a very nice pizza bomb and deliver it fresh," added Bakri.

Speaking from his new home in Lebanon, the self styled cleric who caused controversy after the 2005 London bombings by blaming them on the government and British public, called the wave of pro-democracy revolutions that have swept the Middle East in the past year, 'al-Qaeda's victory'.

The volatility in the Arab world, and the dismantling of authoritarian regimes and ruthless intelligence services have given Salafist groups room to breathe and the thousands of jailed Islamists in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, released as the dictatorships crumbled, have been perfect for recruiting he added. » | Ruth Sherlock, Beirut | Wednesday, January 25, 2012

Kuwaiti Royal Prince Reportedly Converts to Christianity
WILMINGTON POLITICAL BUZZ EXAMINER: A member of the Kuwait's royal family has reportedly renounced his Islamic beliefs and has embraced Christianity.

It's being reported in the Italian newspaper La Stampa’s 'Vatican Insider' section, that Prince Abdullah al-Sabah announced his conversion in an audio file on the Arabic-language Christian television station al-Haqiqa.

According to the report, Abdullah stated:

"First of all, I fully agree with the distribution of this audio file and I now declare that if they kill me because of it, then I will appear before Jesus Christ and be with Him for all eternity."

In an apparent acknowledgment to the real possibility of martyrdom due to his embrace of Christianity, Prince Abdullah declared:

"I will accept whatever they do to me, because the truth in the Bible has guided me towards the right path."

The Prince is also reported to have stated:

"Islamic communities have always wanted to attack in different parts of the world but God has preserved the world and still protects it.

This is why we have recently seen disagreements appearing among Islamic groups who are now fighting with each other.

They are about to divide further into different groups."

Police Trainees See Anti-Islam Film

THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD: Mayor Michael Bloomberg said New York police used "terrible judgment" showing counterterrorism trainees a documentary-style film that says Muslim extremists are masquerading as moderates to destroy America from within.

Bloomberg said police have stopped showing officers The Third Jihad, a 72-minute movie that has been branded inflammatory by some Muslim organisations and was produced by a conservative group called the Clarion Fund.

"Somebody exercised some terrible judgment," he said in Albany, the state capital. "As soon as they found out about it, they stopped it." » | AP | Thursday, January 26, 2012

Gingrich Is Obama’s Best Surrogate
THE WEASHINGTON POST: The most important figure in Tuesday night’s State of the Union address wasn’t on the House floor. In fact, he hasn’t taken a seat in front of the chamber in 13 years.

But as he campaigned for the Republican presidential nomination in Florida, former House speaker Newt Gingrich was doing more to boost President Obama’s reelection prospects than anything Obama himself could do. While Obama was using the speech to portray the Republicans as plutocrats, Gingrich was doing all he could to prove the caricature true.

Google to Track Users... Like Never Before!
RT: In a move that has triggered outrage, Google has announced plans to bring all data collected from users’ separate accounts on its sites into a combined profile. Besides raising dubious questions about privacy, this offer is one you… cannot refuse.

The changes will take effect on March 1. Before that date, Google will notify its hundreds of millions of users about the new rules of the game. In preparation, the company is boosting its privacy policy and terms of service. Users will have to decide whether to agree with the new terms – or lose access to some of their favorite sites. There is no way of opting out of the changes.

Some say Google’s privacy announcement is frustrating and a little frightening."Even if the company believes that tracking users across all platforms improves their services, consumers should still have the option to opt out,” said Common Sense Media chief executive James Steyer, as cited by the Washington Post.

Google says the new policy reflects a “desire to create a simple product experience” that does what one needs, when one needs it. The changes, apparently, will also allow Google to offer more new services and other “cool things.” » | Wednesday, January 25, 2012
