Guardian Employs Known Member of Terrorist Organization

…and refuses to fire him.

Dilpazier Aslam, who has been allowed to report on the London bombings from Leeds and was also given space to write a column in last Wednesday’s edition of The Guardian, is a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir, a radical world organisation which seeks to form a global Islamic state regulated by sharia law.

It is understood that staff at The Guardian were unaware that Mr Aslam was a member of Hizb ut-Tahrir until allegations surfaced on “The Daily Ablution”, a blog run by Scott Burgess. Speculation is mounting that it may have been a sting by Hizb ut-Tahrir to infiltrate the mainstream media.

The western left, with its inapt calls for tolerance and diversity, and with the everlasting anti-war streak, represents a grand opportunity for these terrorists.

RELATED: The Guardian editorial today calls for not strengthening terror laws and for not allowing law enforcement agencies more leeway in finding terrorists and for not, essentially, mounting any response whatsoever to the London terrorist attacks. The current state of affairs is dandy, and to alter them would, of course, oppress Muslims.
