==Accusations of creating fake Islamist terror stories== |
|||
Jenvey has been accused of manufacturing evidence of [[Islamist]] threats. On 7 January 2009 the [[UK]] [[tabloid newspaper]] ''[[The Sun]]'' ran an exclusive front page story claiming that participants in a discussion on Ummah.com, a [[British Muslim]] [[internet forum]], had made a "''hate hit list''" of [[British Jews]] to be targeted by extremists over the [[2008–2009 Israel–Gaza conflict]]. The story, which Jenvey had sold to news agency South West News Service [http://www.swns.com/] featured Jenvey as an 'anti-terror expert', stating, "''Those listed'' [on the forum] ''should treat it very seriously. Expect a hate campaign and intimidation by 20 or 30 thugs.''" |

The UK magazine [[Private Eye]] later revealed that Jenvey, posting to the forum under the pseudonym "''Abuislam''", had in fact created the only evidence that pointed to anything other than a peaceful letter-writing campaign against supporters of Israel (as distinct from Jews, as claimed in the article), . The story has since been removed from ''The Sun'''s website following complaints to the UK's [[Press Complaints Commission]].<ref>{{Citation | date = 2009-01-21 | title = How Extremism Works | periodical = [[Private Eye]] | place = London | publisher = Pressdram Ltd | issue = No. 1228 | page = p.4 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |first=Leigh |last=Holmwood |coauthors=Brook, Stephen |title=Sun front-page story on 'terror target' Sir Alan Sugar under investigation |url=http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/jan/28/sun-story-on-alan-sugar-investigated |work=[[The Guardian]] |date=28 January 2009 |accessdate=31 January 2009 }}</ref> |

Glen Jenvey claims to have devoted much of his time to infiltrating, undermining and exposing radical Islamic groups. He also claims to have infilitrated the Tamil Tigers, working for them in London.[1][2]
Jenvey further claims to have used the internet to infiltrate terrorist organizations, and to have developed a relationship with Abu Hamza al-Masri through these means (via Jenvey's 'Islamic News' website, which posed as a genuine extremist site). Recorded film footage with James Ujaama was, he claims, obtained through similar means. Jenvey claimed that his tapes, in which Hamza called for Jihad, were responsible for Hamza's arrest and trial.[3][4] In the event, Hamza was convicted only of charges related possession of the Encyclopedia of Afghan Jihad.
Jenvey appeared in the film Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West.[5]
