A loving father, an Afghan hero and a fine soldier. The innocent drummer, 25, ‘butchered in the street by Muslim fanatics’ The murdered British soldier executed by two Islamist fanatics was today named as Lee Rigby. The 25-year-old ‘cheeky and humorous’ serviceman – described as a ‘loving father’ to his two-year-old son Jack – was identified as police guarded his home in Middleton, Greater Manchester. Drummer Rigby, a keen football fan who followed Manchester United FC, started his Army career in 2006, and had recently fought in Afghanistan with the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers.

But as he walked towards the Royal Artillery Barracks in Woolwich, South-East London, yesterday afternoon, he was run down by a car on the pavement and hacked to death in a shocking attack. Drummer Rigby was known to his comrades as ‘Riggers’, they said he was a “popular and very bubbly character”. He was “one of the battalion’s great characters, always smiling”.

Announcing his death tonight, the Ministry of Defence said in a statement: ‘Drummer Lee Rigby, or ‘Riggers’ to his friends, was born in July 1987 in Crumpsall, Manchester.

Drummer Lee Rigby RIP

Drummer Rigby, 25, known as ‘Riggers’, was known as a brave soldier

‘He joined the Army in 2006 and on successful completion of his infantry training course at The Infantry Training Centre Catterick, he was selected to be a member of the Corps of Drums and posted to 2nd Battalion, The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers. ’His first posting was as a machine gunner in Cyprus where the Battalion was serving as the resident Infantry Battalion based in Dhekelia. ’Having performed a plethora of tasks while in Cyprus, he returned to the UK in the early part of 2008 to Hounslow, west London. Here, Drummer Rigby stood proudly outside the Royal Palaces as part of the Battalion’s public duties commitment. ’He was an integral member of the Corps of Drums throughout the Battalion’s time on public duties, the highlight of which was being a part of the Household Division’s Beating the Retreat – a real honour for a line infantry Corps of Drums. 

‘In April 2009 Drummer Rigby deployed on Operations for the first time to Helmand province, Afghanistan, where he served as a member of the Fire Support Group in Patrol Base Woqab. ‘On returning to the UK he completed a second tour of public duties and then moved with the Battalion to Celle, Germany, to be held at a state of high readiness for contingency operations as part of the Small Scale Contingency Battle Group.

‘In 2011 Drummer Rigby took up a Recruiting post in London where he also assisted with duties at Regimental Headquarters in the Tower of London. ‘An extremely popular and witty soldier, Drummer Rigby was a larger than life personality within the Corps of Drums and was well known, liked and respected across the Second Fusiliers. He was a passionate and life-long Manchester United fan.

‘A loving father to his son Jack, aged two years, he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. The regiment’s thoughts and prayers are with his family during this extremely difficult time. “Once a Fusilier, always a Fusilier.”’

Lieutenant Colonel Jim Taylor MBE, Second Fusiliers Commanding Officer, described Drummer Rigby as a ‘dedicated and professional soldier’ who was a ‘real character within the Second Fusiliers’. He added: ‘Larger than life, he was at the heart of our Corps of Drums. An experienced and talented side drummer and machine gunner, he was a true warrior and served with distinction in Afghanistan, Germany and Cyprus. ‘His ability, talent and personality made him a natural choice to work in the recruiting group.  He will be sorely missed by everyone in the Second Fusiliers.’

Captain Alan Williamson, Drummer Rigby’s Platoon Commander from 2010 to 2011, added that he was ‘a cheeky and humorous man, always there with a joke to brighten the mood’. ‘An excellent side drummer and highly competent machine gunner, he was always there to help out the younger members of the Fire Support Group whenever possible. 

And Warrant Officer 1st Class, Ned Miller, Regimental Sergeant Major Second Fusiliers, said: ‘Riggers is what every Battalion needs. He was one of the Battalion’s great characters, always smiling’.

Yours Aye.

Pure evil came to the streets of Woolwich today, and left its hideous mark for the world to see. However, we have endured worse atrocities, and over come those who would wish to seek the destruction of our democracy.

We are still a Christian nation that can form a Crusade, some thing we have also excelled in through years gone by.

‘We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you’: What man holding bloody cleaver said after ‘hacking soldier in Help For Heroes T-shirt to death just yards from Woolwich barracks’

I may be an Ex-Bootneck, but I am still quite capable of employing the skills taught through the Commando Training Centre, and those beyond; as are thousands of others.

The words I truly want to use are not for this Blog.

Azan: The Cool, Shady Mag

I know one magazine I would be unlikely to read. It is called Azan. And the main article for the latest issue is the Taliban in Kuhrasan. 

I like to post links like this because it upticks folks coming here from shady places. And when I say shady, I am not talking California Redwood shady.

Imagine how annoyed an anxious jihadi, or jihadi wannabe, would be in reading this. Sorry fellas! I know this post bombed. And not the bombs you guys like!

Misha, from Boston

Posted on by

Misha, an Armenian from BostonIf you live in Boston, do you by chance know of a convert to Islam (or revert as they like to call it) named Misha? Perhaps he is Armenian?

‘I am not angry at anyone. I want to go find out the truth,’ said Anzor Tsarnaeva, who took off his sunglasses only when photographers asked him to.

He said he would go as soon as possible but that he had not yet bought a plane ticket.

Zubeidat Tsarnaeva said she was still thinking over whether to travel to the U.S. Her hesitation to travel may be based on the fact that she was charged with shoplifting last summer and is concerned that she could be arrested.

However Tsarnaeva said that she had been assured by lawyers that she would not be.

The Tsarnaev family emigrated to the U.S. a decade ago, but both parents returned to Russia last year.

Zubeidat also described a figure known only as ‘Misha’ – who has been pinpointed as a source of radicalization for her son Tamerlan.

She said that he was a ‘very nice man’, of Armenian origin and living in Boston. ‘Misha’ is also apparently a convert to the Islamic faith.

Of course, he was a very nice man. A Red Sox fan. All his fellow Bostonians must love him.

Who Is Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi?

Just who is Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi? His last name is a derivative of the Arabic word for war, as in warlike. And this does not look too good for him either:

Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi

A grinning Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi or El DeBarge?

Training with the Turkistan Islamic Party

Posted on by

Ever wonder why there is collateral damage when we bomb terrorist training camps? Take a peek at this Al Qaeda cell in north Waziristan, near the Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Children are training right alongside the adults, courtesy of the Turkistan Islamic Party. Note to all Afghanis and Pakistanis: shut your yapper with the collateral damage drivel. If they are holding a gun, they are lawful combatants. Sad, tragically so. But the truth. . .

Canadians Thwart Al Qaida Attack

Posted on by

Royal Canadian Mounted Police, RCMP, Maintiens le Droit Project SmoothI was training a fellow Sailor today for his Navy qual and I happened to peer into a lounge as we walked from one office to the next. On the tv was a Canadian unmounted Mountie discussing a terrorist attack. I spent the next several hours immersed in work, wondering what the details were. Now that I am home, you are undoubtedly up to speed on this:

Two men were arrested and charged with plotting a terrorist attack against a Canadian passenger train with support from al-Qaida ”elements” in Iran, police said Monday.

Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, and Raed Jaser, 35, who live in Montreal and Toronto, were planning to derail a Via Rail passenger train in Toronto but posed no immediate threat, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said.

“This is the first known al-Qaida planned attack that we’ve experienced in Canada,” Superintendent Doug Best told a news conference.

RCMP Assistant Commissioner James Malizia said the two men had “direction and guidance” from “al-Qaida elements located in Iran,” though there was no reason to think the planned attacks were state-sponsored. Police said the men did not get financial support from al-Qaida, but declined to provide more details.

Al Qaida and Iran? Sunni and Shia? Interesting.

Good Job Abdella Ahmad Tounisi

Posted on by

In naming folks in the Middle East, often a country or city is used as a way of identification. Like Saddam Hussein was known as Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti, with the Tikriti meaning from Tikrit or the city north of Baghdad, his hometown. Likewise, Abdella Ahmad Tounisi is probably from Tunisia:

An 18-year-old Chicago-area man accused of planning to join an al Qaeda-linked group fighting in Syria has been arrested by the FBI, the agency said on Saturday.

Abdella Ahmad Tounisi of Aurora, Illinois, was taken into custody late on Friday as he prepared to board a plane at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport bound for Turkey, the FBI said in a statement.

It added that Tounisi was a friend of Adel Daoud, an American accused of trying to stage a bombing outside a downtown Chicago bar last year. The agency said Tounisi had not been involved in that plot.

Too bad Abdella Ahmad Tounisi. Enjoy jail.

A Radical Muslim in America

Posted on by

I am gratified Boston can finally gain some measure of peace after a tumultuous week. I won’t bother quoting what the Tsarnaev family said about their sons, but I did find these two tidbits interesting:

-Shocked family of All-American girl who converted to Islam to marry Boston bomber say tragedy proves ‘we never really knew him’: Tamerlan Tsarnaev was married to middle class college student Katherine Russell

-But you’re allowed to be a radical Muslim in America. You’re allowed to believe that the Qu’ran proscribes the most elegant set of laws. You’re allowed to believe that one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. And you can say, in America, pretty much anything you want. Not everything, and after 9/11, a little less, but you can still make very unpopular arguments.

The first link is tragic. And the second, by Marc Ambinder, is asinine.

Manscaping and Your Local Jihadi

When it comes to manscaping (A fine artform exclusive to men; the continued upkeep of exceptional hygeine and strategic hair removal as they pertain to the male body), you can tell which of these below clowns took care of their uni-brow and which one went au naturel:

Zahid Iqbal (L-R), Syed Farhan Hussain, Mohammed Sharfaraz Ahmed and Umar Arshad are seen in this combination photograph of undated photographs released by the Metropolitan Police Service in London April 18, 2013. Four Britons were jailed on Thursday for plotting al Qaeda inspired bombings across the country, including an attack on an army base using a remote-controlled toy car packed with explosives which they planned to drive under the gates.
