MUSLIM ARTIST'S VIDEO GAME CHALLENGES PLAYERS TO KILL PRESIDENT BUSH

While the continuous drumbeat of muslim claims regarding the myth of Islamophobia resound in Europe, UK & USA and while cartoons are enough to provoke muslim demonstrations and even killing - we now find a former Iraqi, Wafaa Bilel, who is now a US citizen, producing a video game -under the guise of art - that allows the player to stalk and kill US President George W. Bush. In fact, Mr Bilel appears in the video as a suicide bomber.

Mr. Bilel considers himself a political artist who's subject matter usually deals with political oppression, war and what he calls the "Iraqi experience". He was angered when he was viewed as a victim/spy, post first Gulf War, yet still looked to the USA as the place he aspired to live.  He received entry into the US and began his new life. Thus, this so -called computer based art is developed by a muslim man, who has utilized all the advantages that the USA offers new immigrants to obtain a bachelor's degree from the University of New Mexico and and MFA (Master of Fine Arts) from the School of the Art Institute in Chicago - where he currently resides as a Professor - a Country that clearly has greatly facilitated Bilel's success.

One has to wonder where and how much Wafaa Bilel touts the many liberties he has found in the USA - freedoms that allow him to produce such political "works of art" that would find him maimed or killed in any muslim nation. (also see here) In fact, Bilel had previously been arrested for his artwork by Sadaam Hussein's enforcers.

Or, as it appears, is he twisting the First Amendment to the US Constitution, under the guise of art, to further terrorism, violence and hatred toward the President of the United States and in turn the American people?

MOVIE PROPAGANDA AT ITS WORST

With the third anniversary of the horrific 7/7 London bombings in the near future what does the movie industry plan to show in it's first movie commemorating this act of Islamic terrorism against the innocent British people? Perhaps telling us the stories of some of the victims...or how their families are coping with the violent and tragic loss of loved ones?

NO!

By premiering a fictional movie about the shooting of an innocent muslim man by Metropolitan Police in the wake of the outrage about the bombings.  Islamophobia with a gun??

Needless to say the families of the victims of the 7/7 bombings are incredulous at the insensitivity shown to them.  The movie producers say they didn't mean to offend - (after all what better way to show the world the pain of terrorism then to make a muslim man the victim and to dwell on muslim hurt feelings). 

Let's hope in the tradition of the recent box office flops such as Rendition and Lions for Lambs that the British people, like the Americans, will turn their backs and close their wallets to such blatent propaganda.

Bombing victims outraged over third anniversary premiere date for 7/7 terror attack movie about innocent Muslim man being shot dead

Families of those killed by the 7 July bombings today expressed shock at the "insensitive" timing of the premiere and said they knew nothing of what is the first movie based on the attacks.

Shoot On Sight is to be premiered in London on the third anniversary of the terrorist attacks.

With a cast including Brian Cox and Greta Scacchi, the film is a fictionalised account of the killing of an innocent young Muslim man by the Metropolitan Police in the wake of the outrage.

The real incident killed 52 people as well as the four bombers. Innocent Brazilian Jean Charles de Menezes was shot dead by police in a later incident.

But Lisa Cassidy, 28, of Finsbury Park, whose 22-year-old brother Ciaran died at Russell Square, condemned the project.

"Are we going to get to see this beforehand? We want to know exactly what this film is about and what they are portraying. I think it is completely insensitive to release it on July 7 - they are just trying to make money and raise publicity."

Richard Deer, 31, lost his Polish girlfriend Karolina Gluck, 29, at Russell Square. He said: "I think it would have been nice if out of respect they had arranged a way the families could see it first. For some of the families it is still very, very raw.

"I think for this kind of film that is going to be on the world stage it is very insensitive not to tell us and to show it on July 7. We are all at different stages and dealing with it in a different ways."

Jean Charles de Menezes. A spokesman said: 'I think it is good that they are exploring the role of the police'

A spokesman for the Jean Charles de Menezes Family Campaign, Justice4Jean said: "I think it is good that they are exploring the role of the police."

However Jag Mundhra, the Indian Hindu director who was living in London at the time, said the aim of the film was not to offend.

The story is told from the perspective of a Muslim police officer - played by Naseeruddin Shah - with a white wife and children who are well integrated into British society until "something happens and there is this ripple effect in communities that were otherwise co-existing."

It stemmed from Mundhra's personal experience of the consequences of the 7 July attacks. "I couldn't stop a taxi after the bombings because of the way I looked," he said.

"Then I started noticing that on television suddenly Scotland Yard was represented by a Muslim police officer [Tarique Ghaffur]. I knew it was because the way they wanted to tell the Muslim community 'look, we have a Muslim police officer.'

"Then I could see that if I sat on an Underground train everyone looked at you and moved away. I could feel the fear."

The aim of the film was to address these issues. "I wanted to see the point of view of a shooter who had to pull the trigger and shot the wrong guy. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

"I knew that it might create some controversy but I thought the issue was important enough to not fear controversy. Everyone says the wounds are still raw. But facing up to a situation is more cathartic than hiding from it."

Mundhra said he spoke to Assistant Commissioner Ghaffur before making the film and also won the cooperation of the Regent's Park mosque where some of the filming took place. The bombings themselves are not represented as the film is based on the aftermath.

The film is being released in the UK on 11 July with the premiere benefiting Flame, a charity for the education of women in Asian communities, and in America and India. It is being sold at this week's Cannes Film Festival, where there has been strong interest from the Middle East and Africa.

BBC FUNDED ISLAMIC TERRORISTS & KEPT MUM ON 21/7 UK BOMBERS ID

When does greed for having the best news story trump honesty, sanity and the safety of the British public? Well it seems that question should be posed to the BBC who not only gave money to an Islamic preacher who was radicalising & training muslim youths in the UK for jihad but also funded a paintball "fun" trip for the terrorists. To make matters worse even after the reporters AND BBC executives knew the identities of the 21/7 bombers - they felt more allegiance to the BBC and their own necks rather then give much needed information to the police.

Sure makes you want to take this BBC crew to a paintball game - doesn't it??!! Might even make for a good reality TV show for them - and -as we all know the BBC is what is really important.

BBC 'funded paintballing trip for Islamic terrorists and didn't pass on information about 21/7 bombers'

By DANIEL BATES - More by this author » Last updated at 08:04am on 5th December 2007

The BBC funded a paintballing trip for men later accused of Islamic terrorism and didn't pass on information about the 21/7 bombers to police, a court heard yesterday.

The organisation gave Mohammed Hamid, an Islamic preacher accused of radicalising British Muslims, a £300 fee and paid for fellow defendants to go and be filmed for a documentary.

After the botched July attacks Hamid told a BBC reporter he had worked with on the programme 'Don't Panic, I', Islamic' that he knew the identities of the culprits - but she felt 'no obligation' to tell police, the court heard.

BBC in hot water: As it is accused of giving Islamic preacher Mohammed Hamid, who is accused of radicalising British Muslims, £300 to be filmed

The journalist informed her boss and the information was passed on up to senior executives but a decision was taken not to pass it on.

The claims emerged during the trial of Mr Hamid who, along with four others, is accused of running a two-year radicalisation programme to groom London Muslims for jihad.

The court was told Mr Hamid was first approached by BBC researcher Nasreen Suleaman in late 2004 when she was making a documentary before the July 2005 attacks.

It was shown on June 12, 2005 on BBC2.

The BBC paid for Hamid, fellow defendants Mohammed Al Figari and Mousa Brown and others to go on a paintballing trip at the Delta Force centre in Tonbridge, Kent, in February 2005.

The court was told that July 21 bombers Ramzi Mohammed and Hussein Osman also went on a trip to the same centre before the 7/7 attacks. Ms Suleaman said she was unaware that they were on the trip.

Hamid, 50, told her he was going to use to the BBC's money to pay a fine imposed by magistrates after he was convicted of a public order offence alongside the man later exposed as the 21/7 ringleader, Muktar Said Ibrahim.

Ms Suleaman said she spoke to Hamid soon after the failed attacks on July 21 2005 and he sounded 'guarded' and 'worried'.

She claimed he had been shocked that he knew the accused and was worried they might call him as they were on the run.

Prosecuting barrister Duncan Penny asked her: 'Did you tell him to go to the police?'

Ms Suleaman replied: 'I don't think I needed to.'

Mr Penny said: 'Here was a man who told you that he knew those individuals who, as I understand it, were currently still at large for what on the face of it was the attempted bombings of the transport network a fortnight after it happened, and he was telling you he had some knowledge of them?

Ms Suleaman said: 'I got the sense that he was already talking to the police.' She added: 'I referred it to my immediate boss at the BBC. I wasn't told that there was an obligation.

'I obviously had to report back to my immediate manager at the BBC. In fact it was referred above her as well.

'It was such a big story. At one stage the head of news at the BBC was involved. No one at any stage said there was an obligation.'

Miss Suleaman also told Mr Penny, that Hamid, who she dubbed 'a documentary-maker's dream', was taken on a paintballing trip for the programme as a fun way of introducing him.

The court also heard from Ms Suleaman's former colleague Phil Rees, who produced Don't Panic, I'm Islamic. He told the court he was impressed by Hamid's sense of humour.

He said: 'I took it as more like a rather Steptoe and Son figure rather than seriously persuasive. I saw him as a kind of Cockney comic.'

Hamid is standing trial at Woolwich Crown Court with Kader Ahmed, 20, Al Figari, 42, Kibley Da Costa, 24, and Brown, 41.

Hamid denies proving weapons training, five charges of soliciting murder and three of providing training for terrorism. The others deny charges relating to training.

Atilla Ahmet, 43, has admitted soliciting murder.

The trial at Woolwich Crown Court continues.
