Calls for American Blood at May Rally in LondonBy Evan Kohlmann
Last May, at the height of the Newsweek-Quran desecration fiasco, a group of Al-Qaida supporters and clerics held an anti-American rally in central London. The organizers included Shaykh Omar Bakri Mohammed (founder of the fanatical British Al-Muhajiroun movement) and Yasser al-Sirri (a leader of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad in exile). During the rally, dozens of demonstrators chanted responsively, "USA, you will pay! With your blood, with your blood! ...Bomb, bomb USA! Scud, scud USA! Nuke, nuke USA! The mujahideen are on their way! Jihad! Jihad! Jihad!" Omar Bakri can be seen dressed in a white gown, greeting the other speakers at the front of the crowd and wearing a photo of the Egyptian Shaykh Omar Abdel Rahman--currently imprisoned in the United States for his involvement in a series of terrorist plots targeting New York landmarks.
