SUBJECT: EMBASSY AND MEA HOLD PRODUCTIVE, FOCUSED CTJWG
2. (C) Summary: The DCM and key Embassy interlocutors on counterterrorism issues (see Paras 21-22) on May 19 reviewed with MEA Additional Secretary (International Organizations) KC Singh action items that emerged from the April 19 US-India Counterterrorism Joint Working Group (CTJWG) meeting in Washington and subsequent CT-related conversations (Refs A and B).
6. (C) Turning to the subject of counter-bio-terrorism cooperation, Singh reported that Indian intelligence is picking up chatter indicating jihadi groups are interested in bio-terrorism, for example seeking out like-minded PhD's in biology and bio-technology. He compared the prospects for nuclear terrorism ("still in the realm of the imaginary") to bio-terrorism ("an ideal weapon for terrorism ... anthrax could pose a serious problem ...it is no longer an academic exercise for us.")

Comments: Not new but just a confirmation. Saddam Hussein used chemical weapons against the Kurds and Iranians and tried to acquire nuclear weapons. Pakistan has nuclear weapons and Iran is now allegedly after them too.

WikiLeaked UK cable: Distorted Muslim view of life-world, blame game, double speak, 'moral equivalence' and, left-wing and media incite-excuse terrorism
Reference ID: 06LONDON5958
Created: 2006-08-14 17:05
Released: 2010-12-13 21:09
Classification: CONFIDENTIAL
Origin: Embassy London
¶1. (C) SUMMARY: Frustrated by the bruising that their community has taken after 24 UK-born Muslims were arrested in connection with the recently-thwarted air terrorist plot (reftels), prominent British Muslims sent an open letter to PM Tony Blair August 12 blaming his policy on Iraq and the Middle East for fueling extremism and putting British citizens at risk. HMG reacted angrily to the letter; in a series of meetings with Muslim community leaders August 14, government ministers planned to demand that the Muslim community itself do more to root out terrorists in its midst.
(U) BRITISH MUSLIMS ANGRY
¶4. (U) Prominent British Muslim leaders sent an open letter to PM Tony Blair August 12 stating that his policy on Iraq and the Middle East offers “ammunition to extremists” and puts British lives “at increased risk.” Appearing as a full page advertisement in newspapers August 13, the letter was signed by three of the four Muslim MPs, three of the five Muslim members of the House of Lords, and 38 Muslim organizations (for full text and list of signatories see para 10). Although the letter states specifically that “attacking civilians is never justified,” its signatories have used this sentence as a double-edged sword in defending the letter publicly, in effect equating civilian deaths in Lebanon with potential civilian deaths from terrorism. As MCB Secretary General Dr. Mohammed Abdul Bari told the press, “As Muslims, we condemn attacks on civilians wherever they happen. Civilians in the UK, the Middle East, and the rest of the world should all enjoy protection.”
(U) HMG ANGRY
¶5. (U) HMG reacted sharply to the letter. A spokesman for PM Blair (currently on holiday in Barbados), noting that al-Qaida terrorist attacks began well before Iraq, said, “To imply al-Qaida is driven by an honest disagreement over foreign policy is a mistake.” Home Secretary John Reid told the BBC, “I’m not going to question the motives of anyone who has signed this letter, but I think it is a dreadful
LONDON 00005958 002 OF 003
misjudgment if we believe the foreign policy of this country should be shaped in part, or in whole, under the threat of terrorist activity if we do not have a foreign policy with which the terrorists happen to agree.” Transport Secretary Douglas Alexander echoed these sentiments, saying “No government worth its salt should allow its foreign policy to be dictated to under the threat of terrorism.” Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett said it would be “the gravest
SIPDIS possible error” to blame foreign policy for the threat of terrorism. “This is part of a distorted view of the world, a distorted view of life,” she said. “Let’s put the blame where it belongs: with people who wantonly want to take innocent lives.” Other ministers called the letter “facile,” “dangerous,” and “foolish.”
¶6. (U) Communities Secretary Ruth Kelly, along with ministers from her department and the Home Office, was scheduled to meet with representatives of various Muslim groups August 14. HMG has made clear that one message officials will deliver in these meetings is that Muslim leaders must do more to tackle extremism inside their community.
(U) ELEMENTS OF UNREST
¶8. (C) Also on August 14, law enforcement officials were scheduled to meet leaders from seven communities - Newham, Hackney, Barking, Dagenham, and Waltham Forest in London, plus Birmingham and High Wycombe - where they judged the possibility for unrest might lead to street violence.
¶9. (C) COMMENT: Since 7/7, HMG has invested considerable time and resources in engaging the British Muslim community. The current tensions demonstrate just how little progress has been made. At the same time, the Muslim community’s reaction to the arrests of 24 of its own sons - a knee-jerk reaction blaming HMG - shows that its leaders too have far to go. That said, the Muslim community is not the only element in Britain blaming HMG’s foreign policy for inciting radical elements; the left in particular but even the mainstream press has expressed the belief, reportedly wide-spread, that homegrown terrorism is an “inevitable” response to the UK’s involvement in Iraq and reluctance to call for an “immediate ceasefire” in the Middle East. HMG’s rather heated response to the letter is undoubtedly aimed at swaying broader opinion.
(U) FULL TEXT OF LETTER TO PRIME MINISTER BLAIR
¶10. (U) Begin text of letter:
Prime Minister, As British Muslims we urge you to do more to fight against all those who target civilians with violence, whenever and wherever that happens.
It is our view that current British government policy risks putting civilians at increased risk both in the UK and abroad.
To combat terror the government has focused extensively on
LONDON 00005958 003 OF 003
domestic legislation. While some of this will have an impact, the government must not ignore the role of its foreign policy.
The debacle of Iraq and now the failure to do more to secure an immediate end to the attacks on civilians in the Middle East not only increases the risk to ordinary people in that region, it is also ammunition to extremists who threaten us all.
Attacking civilians is never justified. This message is a global one. We urge the Prime Minister to redouble his efforts to tackle terror and extremism and change our foreign policy to show the world that we value the lives of civilians wherever they live and whatever their religion.
Such a move would make us all safer.

¶4. (SBU) The following are excerpts from the UK's Office of
National Statistics (ONS), all data is from the 2001 UK
census unless otherwise noted.
-- Unemployment rates were higher for Muslims than any other
religion, for both men and women. Muslim male unemployment
rate was 13% in 2004, and for women it was 18%.
-- Muslims between the ages of 16 and 24 had the highest
unemployment rates at 28%; 11% of Muslims over the age of 25
were unemployed.
-- Muslims were most likely to be unavailable or not actively
seeking work due to reasons such as disability, being a
student, or looking after the family and home. 31% of
working-age men were economically inactive, as were 69% of
working-age women.
-- Muslims, both male and female, had the highest rates of
reported ill health in 2000. Age-standardized rates of "not
good" health were 13% for Muslim males and 16% for Muslim
females.
-- Muslims had the highest rates of disability, with 24% of
females and 21% of males claiming a disability.
-- 33% of working-age Muslims in Great Britain had no
qualifications in 2004, which is the highest rate of any
religious group. At 12%, they were also the least likely to
have degrees or equivalent qualifications.
-- In 2006, controversy arose after 100 Islamic private
schools turned out to be "little more than places where the
Koran is recited," the schools promised to upgrade their
instruction and they are due for review in 2010.
-- According to a poll of 600 Muslim and 800 non-Muslim
students at thirty universities throughout the UK conducted
by the Centre for Social Cohesion (CSC), as reported ref B,
32 percent of Muslims on UK campuses believe killing in the
name of religion is justified, 54 percent wanted a Muslim
Party to represent their world view in Parliament, and 40
percent want Muslims in the UK to be under Sharia law. Only
2 percent of non-Muslims felt killing in the name of religion
could be justified and none believed it was acceptable for
Muslims in the UK to have a religious-based party, or to be
under Sharia law. 73 percent of Muslim students are at least
occasional participants in Friday services while only 2
percent of non-Muslim students attend any religious service.
The poll results also found that 73 percent of Muslim
students believe it is possible to be both Muslim and British
and a similar number believe their parents are "much more or
somewhat more" strict Muslims than they are. In addition
only six percent believed that people who leave Islam for
another religion should be "punished according to Sharia law"
(killed).

Comments: Not sure if those statistics have changed since then but at least it shows the history.
Muslims have these social problems worse than those from other religions and they also are the most religious.
This shows once again that the problem with Muslims isn't restricted to terrorism.
It wouldn't be surprising if young religious Muslims with social problems end up as terrorists, although terrorists come from all backgrounds.
Some will argue that social problems cause terrorism but this is not the whole story.
Social problems in Muslim communities are linked to their culture and religion.
And also, unlike Muslims, those from other religions who face the same social problems do not engage in terrorism as a result (or if they do then not nearly as severely as the Muslims).
The hight rate of marriage between close relatives among Muslims must contribute to the hight rate of disability.

WkikLeaks: US and Karzai say UK 'not up to the task' in Afghanistan and ‘made a mess of things’ according to ‘dismayed’ U.S. General Dan McNeil
Daily Mail reports that,
Source: Daily Mail (UK)
Comment: Can we trust Hillary's apology? We will have to wait until the next leaks to find out but judging from what was revealed in the current leaks, she probably was just being 'diplomatic'.
Here is a previous comment regarding the British
This is symptomatic, especially of the British among the rest of the wishful thinkers, who in their immature and childish psychology, naively and arrogantly think that being 'nice' will solve everything. (There were reports that British troops were replaced by the Americans in Musa Qala, Helmand province, Afghanistan, after their be 'nice' approach didn't work, with Marine commander Lt. Col. Michael Manning saying, "They didn't pursue the Taliban," "We'll go after them." There were also earlier claims by US General Jack Keane and Col Peter Mansoor that the Brits left in disgrace and defeat from souther Iraq after a similar approach failed and handed the place over to Islamic extremists and as a result, among other things, '45 women were killed by the militia for "un-Islamic" behaviour'. So being nice to terrorists is not nice to their victims. The French intelligence even claimed their own capital has been taken over by the Islamists and called it 'Londonistan'. The British are only hard on other British and non-British who speaks out against Islamic extremism as the recent example of 'anti-terror' police John Larkin shows.)

Michael Manning saying, "They didn't pursue the Taliban," "We'll go after them." There were also earlier claims by US General Jack Keane and Col Peter Mansoor that the Brits left in disgrace and defeat from souther Iraq after a similar approach failed and handed the place over to Islamic extremists and as a result, among other things, '45 women were killed by the militia for "un-Islamic" behaviour'. So being nice to terrorists is not nice to their victims. The French intelligence even claimed their own capital has been taken over by the Islamists and called it 'Londonistan'. The British are only hard on other British and non-British who speaks out against Islamic extremism as the recent example of 'anti-terror' police John Larkin shows.)

COVER-UP: Brazil denies terrorism threat as it is “extremely sensitive” towards Muslim community in the country – WikiLeaks US embassy cables
In January 2008 cables, the U.S. Ambassador at that time, Clifford Sobel said that Brazilians were
In one cable Sobel said, the Brazilians have

Comment: Yet another hypersensitivity and cover-up case by the politically correct elites and (PC) censors, who only allow positive things to be said about Islam and Muslims, and label any criticism, even when legitimate, as 'hate' and 'Islamophobia'.
Here is what a Muslims said in another leaked cable,
The alarming thing to note here yet again is the fact that authorities are covering up the danger and are thereby endangering the public. They are putting political correctness before innocent lives.
They would covering-up any negative information about Islam and Muslims but publicize even the slightest of wrongs or alleged wrongs suffered by Muslims and feed this false victim psychology among Muslims that further encourages more terrorism.
Unless Muslims are told in no uncertain terms that there is a problem in their communities and they accept this fact and work against it, the problem of terrorism will continue.
Telling them that they are good and nice will only give them a false sense of being right and make them think terrorism is a justified and that they, perversely, are the victims.

aware of the potential threat from terrorists exploiting the favorable conditions existing in Brazil [and were working against threats]But according to the Associated Press, he added that
officials at the highest levels of the Brazilian government "are extremely sensitive" to any public claims that terrorists have a presence in Brazil and "will vigorously reject" such claims.This sensitivity was due to fear of stigmatizing the country's Muslims community, concern for the tourist industry and to not bee seen as too close to the US' 'overly aggressive War on Terrorism'.
In one cable Sobel said, the Brazilians have
"arrested various individuals engaged in suspected terrorism financing activity but have based their arrests on narcotics and customs charges."There has been allegations in the past that terrorists or their financiers were operating in the so-called Triple Border region between Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina.

'King Abdullah who called President Asif Ali Zardari the greatest obstacle to progress, adding: “When the head is rotten, it affects the whole body.”Now the Saudi king maybe right or maybe he was being sectarian since Zardari is a Shiite, but it is true however that when the head is rotten, it does effect the whole body.

Qatar "hesitant to act against known terrorists" fearing reprisals and appearing to be too close to the US - WikiLeak US embassy cable
The State Department labeled Qatar the worst country in the region for counterterrorism efforts. The country's security services were "hesitant to act against known terrorists out of concern for appearing to be aligned with the U.S. and provoking reprisals," according to one cable.

Bradley Manning, alleged WikiLeak's US files source was a homosexual defined by his sexuality, opinionated about politics, religion and secularism
World Net Daily reports the following citing a New York Times article
Private Mannding, 22, was 'defined by his homosexuality from a young age.'
a place [Cambridge, Mass.] where he fit in, part of a social circle that included politically motivated computer hackers and his boyfriend, a self-described drag queen.
And now some of those friends say they wonder whether his desperation for acceptance – or delusions of grandeur – may have led him to disclose [the secret files]
[When he was at school Manning was]
opinionated beyond his years about politics, religion and even about keeping religion out of politics.
refused to recite the parts of the Pledge of Allegiance that referred to God or do homework assignments that involved the Scriptures
Sources: World Net Daily (Note: The World Net Daily article cites an article from the New York Times)
Comment: Very unsurprising. Angry, naive or misguided people, whether homosexual or straight, men or women, liberals, left-wingers, racial or ethnic minorities, politically correct wishful thinkers and others like them have an irrational desire to help Islamic extremists and terrorists, who stand for everything that they claim they are against.
Wonder if Manning or WikiLeak might have held back some material, such as on homosexuals, leftists, Muslims and Islam, not for security reasons but for PC considerations.
Manning sounds similar to Zachary Adam Chesser who has pleaded guilty to terror charges in the US. An article on him published on this site reported that 'A high school friend Drew Harrington said Chester was "always trying to find himself" and "just wanted to be part of something."'

WikiLeaks summary - Saudis donors fund terrorists, Saudi king wants Iranian snake's head cut off, Iranian Red Crescent is a front group for Iran
A brief summary of a few of the details to emerge from the US embassy cables leaked by WikiLeaks
Saudi donors were chief financiers of militant groups such as al-Qaeda2
Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah “frequently exhorted the US to attack Iran to put an end to its nuclear weapons programme” and asked them to “cut off the head of the snake” at a meeting in 2008.2
Leaders in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt referred to Iran as "evil", an "existential threat" and a power that "is going to take us to war"3
Officials in Jordan and Bahrain have openly called for Iran's nuclear programme to be stopped by any means, including military.3
Iranian Red Crescent was used by Iran to smuggle Iranian weapons and agents to Hezbollah during 2006 Israel-Lebanon war.4
'He [a credible source] said Iran used the IRC to enter Iraq during the 1980-86 war between the two countries, to get into the Balkans in the 1990s and to support Shia opposition in Bahrain and Yemen from 1997-2000. According to the cable, he said he was asked to sign certificates for two or three al-Quds officers to travel to Iraq under cover of the IRC after the US invasion. He was then asked to sign between 10 and 30 certificates. He said he refused and they were signed by a superior.'4
Israel says Palestinian Red Crescent also help move Palestinian fighters around.4
Kim Jong-il, of North Korea, was said to suffer from epileptic fits2
'Iran had obtained missiles from North Korea to give it the capacity to launch strikes on capitals in Western Europe for the first time.'2
'According to a cable dated last Feb 24, North Korea sent to Iran 19 of the missiles, capable of carrying a nuclear warhead' and it 'significantly advanced Iran’s development of intercontinental ballistic missiles'2
'UAE foreign minister says Iran's support for terrorism is far broader than Hamas and Hizbollah'1
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is described as being 'like Hitler'.1
'King Abdullah who called President Asif Ali Zardari the greatest obstacle to progress, adding: “When the head is rotten, it affects the whole body.”'2
Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi is accompanied everywhere by a ‘voluptuous blonde’ Ukrainian nurse.1

Comment: Not very politically correct talks in secret while censoring everyone else. Nothing too new or too much either. It can all be easily guessed even with the tiny amount of information that had been put up on this site over the past two months.
The real revelation from these leaks is the absence of any mention by the polite PC diplomats of the religion of Islam or Muslims and their culture, and the role they play in all of the world's problems.
As Germany's Family Minister Kristina Schröder said 'Religion was part of culture and culture shaped behaviour'
Or could it be that WikiLeaks did not leak any critical assessment of Islam, Muslims or their culture?
There is no hope of a solution unless the problem is honestly and truthfully stated.
And it is no time for political correctness when innocent people are being persecuted and even killed daily.

Arrest warrant relating to Swedish rape charge for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange who published leaked US files on Iraq and Afghan war
Sweden is to issue an international arrest warrant for the Australian founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, 39, after a court there ordered his detention for questioning in relation to charges of2 "rape, sexual molestation and unlawful coercion."4
Sweden's Director of Prosecution, Marianne Ny, said prosecutors "have not been able to meet with him to accomplish the interrogations".2
Assange is currently 'hiding' in Britain.4
The charges against him stems from "an incident of consensual sex where the condom broke".1
At that time, Assange was in Sweden lecturing on the leaking of confidential U.S. military files on the war in Afghanistan.3
Investigation against him was initially dropped in August by the prosecutor, Eva Finne, but later resumed by Ny in September.2
WikiLeaks has so far published 400,000 classified US documents on the Iraq war and 77,000 on the Afghan war.1
Sources: 1. AFP, 2. BBC, 3. Bloomberg 4. Telegraph (U.K)
[Are there any similarities between Eva Finne, who initially dropped the investigation against Assange, and the judges suspected of bias in the failed first trial of Geert Wilders?
Judicial and official bias against those criticizing Islam, and bias for Islam and its supporters is something to watch out for.]
