‘I Dared To Seek The Truth In A False World’ - Babar Ahmad
I am in prison today because I committed a crime. But the crime I committed is not what I am being accused of. The crime that I committed is that I dared to ask for answers in a silent world. I dared to seek justice in an unjust world and I dared to search for the truth in a false world.
The authorities could not accept that they had made a mistake by torturing me and insulting my religion. They were too proud to apologise to me. Instead they wanted to make an example out of me when the physical and emotional scars from my last ordeal have not even healed yet.
This is the “war on terror”. It is a situation in which innocent, law abiding members of the public are terrorised in order to satisfy some political ambitions.
I lived all my life in this country. I obeyed the law, I paid taxes, I ran for disabled children’s charities and I never usurped anyone’s rights. In return for all this, they want to extradite me to the US, the country that invented Guantanamo Bay, Bagram and Abu Ghraib concentration camps.
They want to extradite me because I have not committed any “crime” that I can be charged with under British law. If this is not betrayal, then what is?
I am keeping company with murderers, armed robbers and drug dealers, who are all better off than me because they will serve fixed sentences and then be released.
Sometimes I ask myself, “Would I have been better off if I was an armed robber or drug dealer?”. At least then I would have been entitled to justice and more rights than being a law abiding British Muslim.
Justice and the protection of minorities are the pillars of a democracy. When either of these pillars fall, the democracy crumbles into the dustbin of history.
Yesterday it was the Irish. Today it is the Muslims.
And tomorrow it will be the leftists, socialists, anti-war and anti-racism campaigners if this is allowed to continue.
As for myself, I never harmed anyone, or abused anyone, or took anyone’s rights, or committed any other crime. Therefore I am confident that God will give me honour, justice and freedom one day, on the day that he wills.

No, professor, I don't "got it".
I'd like to clear up a few inevitable misconceptions. First, on Muslims - I have nothing against you in spite of your beliefs and deeds.
The errant recasting of the religion as peaceful, the reshaping of jihad into a spiritual struggle, the impression you convey that Islam is tolerant and that the terrorists have corrupted their religion, is wrong. Thousands have died in the wake of your illusions.
Islam itself - without deceit and sword, Islam would have been stillborn. An infinitesimal fraction of the one billion people subservient to Islam today actually chose their fate. In Mecca, fourteen hundred years ago, after a decade of preaching, as few as fifty men chose to follow Muhammad. But that all changed in Medina. There, according to the Qur’an and Hadith, Muhammad became a political tyrant, a terrorist, and a thief. His willingness to lead seventy-five armed raids against defenseless civilians swelled his ranks as swiftly as the spoils of "war" filled his pockets.
Equipped with booty stolen from others, Muhammad and his followers conquered and then plundered their neighbors, starting with Arabia. The only choice they offered their victims was "your money or your life." Once subjected to their will, Muslims compelled submission under penalty of death. Islam is, and has always been, a doctrine devoid of choice. It prospers at the business end of a bloody sword.
Muslims were the first victims of Islam.
I would like nothing more than to free you from Islam.

So all those people who are flooding in to Islam (Islam is the fastest growing religion by the way - quoted by the New York times).. are doing so for the 'booty' that the muslims took more then fourteen hundred years ago??
Aren't you a genius.

What is this BS crap? You sound like a brainwashed fool :wacko:
If the Prophet :saw: was only interested in acquiring 'booty' then why did he live so poorly? Why did he give all of his money off to charity?

Sorry friend, the only "brainwashed fool" is the poor souls that have no choice but to submitted to Muhammad's Islam. I pray you will share my heart for the plight of Muslims. I would like nothing more than to set them free from Islam, and in so doing, free the world from the terror their doctrine inspires.

Babar Ahmad Loses Appeal Against Extradition (http://www.ummah.com/forum/showthread.php?t=128054)
"Our Lord, the Blessed and the Exalted, descends every night to the lowest heaven when one-third of the latter part of the night is left, and says: Who supplicates Me so that I may answer him? Who asks Me so that I may give to him? Who asks Me forgiveness so that I may forgive him?" Muslim
Please do not forget brother Babar and all our muslim brothers and sisters around the world suffering at the hands of their oppressors; remember them all in your supplications, especially in the night prayer - in the last third of the night - when you stand before Allah(swt). Jazakallah khair.
The European courts have asked the UK Extradition on hold until they have properly considered the case . We do not know whether they will take hours or days yet.
Alhumdulillah, Allah(swt) has granted the adiyah of the Ummah so please continue to make sincere dua! Jazakallah khair!
Europe Puts Stay On Extradition To Give It 'Proper Consideration'
The President of the Grand Chamber in the European Court, has now replied back and requested that a hold be placed on the extradition, to allow them to give the case 'proper consideration'.
Following the Lords refusal for leave to appeal, Babar Ahmad’s solicitors, from Birnberg Peirce and Partners, made representations on 11 June 2007 to the European Court of Human Rights. The European Court subsequently, not only requested a hold to be placed on the extradition, but also warned the British government against removing Babar and hence breaching various articles of the Human Rights Act.
It is still unclear as to how long this stay will be. If the European Court of Human Rights refuses to intervene, then no other appeal stage remains and Babar would be extradited to the US imminently.
Babar Ahmad's family stated: “This intervention by the European Court in asking for a stay is a sign of hope for us. We are still unsure how long this will actually be and will have to wait and see what their response is. We continue to have hope and pray for Babar's swift return.”

Judgement Day Begins Monday 2nd July 2007
On Monday 2nd July 2007, The European Court of Human Rights are expected to sit and begin deciding on whether or not to hear Babar Ahmad's case.
Previously, the President of the Grand Chamber in the European Court requested that a hold be placed on the extradition, to allow them to give the case 'proper consideration'.
Babar Ahmad’s solicitors, from Birnberg Peirce and Partners, are now due to make final representations to Europe on Friday 29th June 2007.
If the European Court of Human Rights refuses to intervene, then no other appeal stage remains and Babar would be extradited to the US imminently.
Babar Ahmad's family stated: “We hope that the European Court will decide that Babar should not be extradited, especially without a prima facie case. The assurance given by the US Embassy is not sufficient, in our opinion, to safeguard Babar's Human Rights. We continue to have hope whilst remaining positive and pray for Babar's swift return.”
