Danish Imam Abu Laban knew about planned Martyr operation

BREAKING NEWS
This just in. One down. One being tackled as we speak. Imam Abu Laban of pig-eared fame apparently knew about a planned “Martyr action” on February 21st. Quoting from my transcript of previously unreleased footage from Mohammed Sifaoui, the journalist who broke the news of Imam Ahmed Akkari’s death threats against Naser Khader. Imam Abu Laban is speaking of a man who plans to execute a martyr operation in connection with the Battle of Khartoon:

{He’s doing everything to get contacts.}
{He’s contacted Amr Moussa and he means to wreak absolute havoc.}
{He wants to join the fray and turn it into a Martyr operation right now.}

Screenshot of Imam Abu Laban before entering the car where he spoke the words that already now spell the doom of his career as a spokesman for Moslems and a citizen of Denmark.

Danish Politicians are shocked.

Marianne Jelved of the Social Liberals:

I find it very unpleasant. Very unpleasant indeed. And I think that Abu Laban, if he wishes to remain in Denmark, ought to consider the rules here.

Helge Adam Møller of the Conservatives:

With 99 percent certainty it’s an act of terrorism to which we are referring. Because a martyr operation is to blow oneself and innocents sky high. Whether it’s in Denmark or someplace else, it’s equally serious. It’s innocents who are killed. He apparently knows something about that. If he hasn’t himself gone to the police, he incurs a colossal responsibility and he is in direct breach of Danish law.

Pia Kjærsgaard of the Danish People’s Party:

I have come to think that all of these more or less festering persons from the Islamic Faith Community should be interrogated, all of them, by the police naturally, and that this matter must be thoroughly investigated because it sounds very scary. And that isn’t something we as politicians should let pass by. Therefore I will talk to the Justice Minister and inquire as to the reaction to this and get her to step in.

UPDATE 1 MARCH 25 00:52 CET
Photographs of Abu Laban:

Abu Laban preaching. Subtitles say: “These people I call rats in holes.” From this article. The ‘rats’ are Naser Khader and Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

UPDATE 2 MARCH 25 01:07 CET
Gateway Pundit reminds me of his dossier on Abu Laban. Excerpts:

  • Entertained the “Blind Sheikh” behind the first World Trade Center attacks
  • Praised Osama Bin Laden after 9-11 Attacks
  • Preached he “Shed no tears” after 9-11 Attacks
  • Accused of giving Political support to Osama bin Laden’s network
  • Accused of giving Financial support to Osama bin Laden’s network
  • Joined with 225 Islamic Radicals to form Global Jihadist Group in 2003
  • Said that Theo van Gogh - “Had it coming!”
  • Called on his flock to Give Their Lives to Global Jihad for Palestinians
  • Met with Sheikh Qaradawi in Saudi Arabia who has legalized the murder of American soldiers in Iraq
  • Much more at Gateway Pundit

    UPDATE 3 MARCH 25 01:42 CET
    Killgore Trout remarks at LGF that he’s still a little unclear about what the quote means. Mohammed Sifaoui explains (from the transcript):

    {I didn’t use that piece in my documentary because we assesed -}
    {- that we didn’t have enough details to know of whom he was talking -}
    {- and whether the operation was to take place in Denmark or somewhere else.}
    {But I am convinced that he was speaking of someone -}
    {- who was ready to execute a suicide operation.}

    Amr Moussa is the Chairman of the Arab League.

    [In news studio]

    NEWS ANCHOR: Good evening, this is the late TV-Avisen, which will also take a look at this evening’s EU meeting in Brussels.
    First, new accusations by the French TV journalist who infiltrated the Danish Imam environment. One of hisrecordings with a hidden camera reveals that Imam Abu Laban speaks of a person who, quoting: “Wants to wreak absolute havoc and conduct a Martyr-operation.” Danish Police plans to question Imam Abu Laban about that as soon as he return from a conference of Imams in Bahrain.

    A Shitstorm of Blasphemy from Denmark

    The last couple of days we’ve been having a shitstorm of blasphemy in Denmark. The Moslems have been complaining, of course, but our Prime Minister seems not to care. Poor Moslems.

    First, the good stuff. I bring you blasphemy. This satirical cartoon was published this Tuesday, March 21 on the last page of Berlingske Tidende’s first section.

    Now, for some reason, this piece of satire has made some Moslems feel ‘disgruntled’. In the same way postal workers who are about to go postal are ‘disgruntled’, I imagine. Allow me to
    translate. Note that Jyllands-Posten has a motto that goes: “Jyllands-Posten: Denmark’s International Newspaper”.

    The trip goes to….
    Itinerary for the Danish Imams’ trip to the conference in Bahrain:

  • Buy some Bahrain-clothes at the airport at the last moment in case some Bahrain-weather is coming up.
  • Remember to turn back the clocks 632 years before landing.
  • Orientation about the Crown’s Prosecutor who refuses to flog the Prime Minister and burn Jyllands-Posten down to the ground.
  • Following a short round of misinformation, the book “French Clowns in Colours” will be distributed to the 300 other delegates - it is known to usually make Denmark’s International Newspaper even more known abroad.
  • Possibly catch halal an hour of shut-eye before departure.
  • Today the Prime Minister refused to give his opinion on whether Berlingske Tidende has overstepped the bounds of “demonisation” of religions. Quoting and translating the last part of this article from B.T.:

    The Prime Minister has as one of his few areas of responsibility the Press, yet Anders Fogh Rasmussen states to Ritzau’s Bureau that he has no opinion on whether Berlingske Tidende in the name of fun has overstepped the bounds of “demonisation” of religions.

    “I refuse to enter that fray. What you’re asking only emphasises that it’s wise to stick to what’s true in a state founded on the rule of law, i.e. that we have a very far-reaching Freedom of Speech. The law defines some boundaries and if anyone thinks those boundaries have been crossed, it’s a matter for the courts and certainly not for the Government and the Prime Minister,” Anders Fogh Rasmussen says.
