An extremist Islamic movement Al-Muhajiroun in Great Britain has announced its third annual commemoration of the 9/11 attacks, with a convention in London titled, "The Choice is in Your Hands: Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels."

Al-Muhajiroun leader Omar Bakri told London's Arabic-language A-Sharq Al-Awsat that the convention would feature Al-Qaeda "surprises," with the screening of a never-before-shown video. "We want the world to remember this operation," Bakri said, "that lifted the head of the [Muslim] nation." He called 9/11 "a cry of Jihad against unbelief and oppression," and said that the aim of remembering it is to "revive the commandment of Jihad among the youth of the [Muslim] nation."

MEMRI also reported that Bakri said that a lecture will be delivered on the Islamic religious roots of "slaughtering the infidels," and that there will be films by Al-Qaeda and other terror groups. In a most timely manner, a film will also be screened on the most recent operations by Chechnyan Moslem terrorists - though it will not include the school massacre of last week.

The organization planned a similar anniversary event a year ago, called "The Magnificent 19 [Suicide Attackers]," but was forced to downgrade it at the last minute, and sufficed with a smaller "Introduction to the Magnificent 19 Conference." In 2002, it held an event called, "A Towering Day in History."

Al-Muhajiroun claimed, as of last year, no fewer than 30 offices across Britain, with branches in France, Pakistan, Algeria and throughout the Middle East. British media report that al-Muhajiroun was linked to attempts to recruit British Muslims to fight in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and to British suicide bombers who struck a pub in Israel last year.
