The Mohammed B. court case part 3

Posted on July 26th, 2005 by .
Categories: International Terrorism, Murder on theo Van Gogh and related issues, Religious and Political Radicalization, Young Muslims.

Today Mohammed B. was sentenced to life in prison. Not a big surprise for most of us probably. The prosecutor demanded a life sentence, Mohammed B. asked for a life sentence and the public wanted no less then a life sentence.

According to the court it was proven that Mohammed B.’s act was a terrorist act, that he hindered Hirsi Ali in her work and that he willingly caused huge friction in society. He is also found guilty in the attempted murderer of several policemen and -women and two passersby.

For the people who don’t know, a life sentence in the Netherlands is a sentence for life. There is no possibilty for parole. He can only get out of there sooner, when the queen (i.e. the dutch government) allows him. I don’t think that will happen.

Mohammed B. will probably not appeal, but I don’t think that means that this is the last we hear from him…

C L O S E R The Mohammed B. Court Case part 0

Posted on July 10th, 2005 by .
Categories: International Terrorism, Religious and Political Radicalization, Young Muslims.

Tomorrow will begin the court case against the murderer of Theo van Gogh, who was killed 2 November 2004 by Mohammed B. who claimed to have a islamic motive.

He left a note on his body in which he treatened Hirsi Ali and that had several references to the Egyptian Takfir wal-Hijra.. Mohammed B. is also accused of being part of a terrorist network, the so-called Hofstadgroup.

Mohammed B. is refusing to appear before the court tomorrow, therefore he will be forced to appear. His lawyer will plea for him. Perhaps Mohammed B. is giving a statement but I doubt it. Theo van Gogh’s mother will give a statement before court.

Several questions remain at this moment. What is his place in this so-called Hofstadgroup? They were very much focused on a violent jihad in Chechnya, Palestina and other places but not in the Netherlands. Why did they change their minds, apparently in two or three months? What kind of group was the hofstadgroup. In my mind not a very professional one, although very serious with several international connections.

Questions, questions, questions…answers? Not yet. Perhaps in the coming days. I will attend the court case and inform you and at the same time report the debates about it on the internet (I wanted to do that now already, but it is very quiet).

C L O S E R – Mohammed B. Court Case Part 0

Posted on July 9th, 2005 by .

Op maandag begint het proces tegen Mohammed B. Ik zal daar hier ook verslag van doen. Als ‘opwarmer’ (1 van 2) de NRC van vandaag met een zeer uitgebreid portret van deze man:

Mohammed B. was bezig met de dood

De wereld van Mohammed B.

Er blijven toch nog wel wat vragen over na het lezen van deze artikelen. Het wordt duidelijk dat Mohammed B. zich op een gegeven moment gaat richten op de gewelddadige jihad in Nederland. Dit is een duidelijke breuk met het eerdere patroon van de vermeende hofstadgroep. Wat bracht hem daar toe?

Wat was zijn positie binnen die vermeende groep?

Wat drijft hem nu precies? Nou ja en nog wel wat meer…

This is London |Terror on the dole

Posted on July 8th, 2005 by .

This is London | London news

Until recently, nobody took the fanatical beliefs of al-Muhajiroun too seriously, believing that a British-based group so brazenly “out there” could not be involved in something as “underground” as terrorism. The group is led by the exiled Saudi, Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammad, from his base in north London. Yesterday, in a magazine article, Bakri warned that several radical groups are poised to strike in London.

For all its inflammatory rhetoric, al-Muhajiroun has never been linked to actual violence. Yet, with the discovery last month of half-a-tonne of ammonium nitrate fertiliser – the same explosive ingredient used in the Bali and Turkey terror attacks – and with the arrest of eight young British Muslims in London and the South-East, including six in Luton, extremist groups such as al-Muhajiroun are under the spotlight like never before.

LookSmart’s FindArticles – Australian Journal of Anthropology, The: Islamic radicalism online: the Moluccan mission of the Laskar Jihad in cyberspace

Posted on July 4th, 2005 by .
Categories: Religious and Political Radicalization.

Throught Gary Bunt’s blog I found this article: LookSmart’s FindArticles – Australian Journal of Anthropology, The: Islamic radicalism online: the Moluccan mission of the Laskar Jihad in cyberspace

Birgit Brauchler

Since the investigations of the September 11, 2001 event, it has become increasingly obvious that terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism–interconnected or not–cannot be separated any more from cyberspace. (1) Radical Muslims as well as terrorists worldwide use the Internet to build up effective communication networks and to spread information and propaganda. Since the Bali bombing in October 2002, much effort has been put into the investigation of Islamism in Indonesia, the country with the world’s largest Muslim population. (2) The Laskar Jihad is one of the Islamist groups that have emerged in Indonesia recently. The Internet provided its members with the means to spread news and images of the Moluccan conflict in which they were actively involved, to project the image of an idealised Islamic identity and to express their attitude towards the September 11 attack and the group thought obviously responsible for it. This shows how the Internet has become an important instrument for the information politics of radical Muslim groups. Therefore, this is not a paper about the Laskar Jihad per se but is, rather, focused on its self-presentation in cyberspace, i.e. the social space constituted by the Internet.
