Hizbullah's wish for the future Britain
Melanie Philips wrote a magnificent article for The Spectator (subscription only, but it's free). In it she emphasizes that Iran is the driving force behind Hizbullah and that the Mullahs of Iran seem to influence Hamas greatly these days as well.
From the BBC, protests in London by supporters of Al Qaeda et al, in response to the Muhammed cartoons
These days more and more Hizbullah supporters raise their voices in Britain and confront the Brits with the extremism present and growing in their country. These Hizbullah supporters organize protests in favor of Hizbullah and calling for the destruction of Israel, the United States and Britain.
Protestors in London carry signs: "Massacre to those who insult Islam", "behead those who insult Islam" and more friendly oneliners like that
It seems that Hizbullah told its sleep cells in the West to stand by:
Some people in the West argue that if Israel would not have reacted the way she did to the kidnapping of two of her soldiers by Hizbullah and of 1 by Hamas, the current threat to the West posed by Hizbullah and its sleeper cells would not exist. Melanie deals with that:
Iran's Revolutionary Guards
Ahmadinejad has now decided that Islam has three main enemies: Israel, the US and Britain:
Lastly, to all those who think that these extremists will back off if Israel will 'compromize', here is a quote from Nasrallah:

Hizbullah In Britain
Hizbullah's wish for the future Britain
Melanie Philips wrote a magnificent article for The Spectator (subscription only, but it's free). In it she emphasizes that Iran is the driving force behind Hizbullah and that the Mullahs of Iran seem to influence Hamas greatly these days as well.
From the BBC, protests in London by supporters of Al Qaeda et al, in response to the Muhammed cartoons
These days more and more Hizbullah supporters raise their voices in Britain and confront the Brits with the extremism present and growing in their country. These Hizbullah supporters organize protests in favor of Hizbullah and calling for the destruction of Israel, the United States and Britain.
Protestors in London carry signs: "Massacre to those who insult Islam", "behead those who insult Islam" and more friendly oneliners like that
It seems that Hizbullah told its sleep cells in the West to stand by:
According to German and Israeli intelligence sources, Hezbollah sleeper cells are present in more than 20 countries in Western Europe, Latin America and Southeast Asia, and have been told to be ready to carry out terrorist attacks should Israel prolong its military action in Lebanon. The Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett has told the Commons that ‘there are indeed concerns’ about Iran-backed terrorists attacking the UK.
Some people in the West argue that if Israel would not have reacted the way she did to the kidnapping of two of her soldiers by Hizbullah and of 1 by Hamas, the current threat to the West posed by Hizbullah and its sleeper cells would not exist. Melanie deals with that:
But the belief that there would be no threat to Britain or America without these recent events is demonstrably false. Way back in 1994 Shadjareh spoke on a platform in Trafalgar Square draped with a banner which read, ‘Death To The Enemies Of Islam’.
Until 11 September 2001, Hezbollah was responsible for more American deaths than any other terrorist organisation. It is known or suspected to have been involved in the suicide truck bombings of the US embassy and US Marine Corps barracks in Beirut in 1983, the bombing of the US embassy annexe in Beirut in 1984 and the 1985 hijacking of TWA Flight 847 en route from Athens to Rome. And it is said by various intelligence agencies to have kidnapped over 30 Westerners between 1982 and 1992.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards
Ahmadinejad has now decided that Islam has three main enemies: Israel, the US and Britain:
And now Iran has explicitly singled out Britain as a target for attack — not because of Lebanon or any other recent event, but because of the British Balfour Declaration of 1917, which led eventually to the restoration of the Jews to part of their ancient homeland in the state of Israel.
In an Iranian TV interview on 23 July, Iran’s president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed that ‘England was the founder of this sinister regime’ (Israel) and, like America, was ‘an accomplice to all its crimes’.
Lastly, to all those who think that these extremists will back off if Israel will 'compromize', here is a quote from Nasrallah:
‘If we searched the entire world for a person more cowardly, despicable, weak and feeble in psyche, mind, ideology and religion, we would not find anyone like the Jew. Notice I do not say the Israeli.’
