BANNED hate cleric Omar Bakri told Brit Muslims they must “fight and
die for Islam” as he dodged the law to preach his warped views in the
UK.
Bakri, who was booted out of Britain after calling for the West’s
downfall, addressed a meeting of young Muslims via a videolink from
his Lebanon bolthole.
The revelation comes days after Home Secretary Jacqui Smith named and
shamed foreign preachers who were barred from the UK.
But Bakri, who is on the list, sidestepped the law by not appearing at
the east London meeting in person.
Instead he was announced as “a special surprise, a special treat”,
beamed live on to a telly screen.
He was introduced to the crowd by his UK spokesman Anjem Choudary,
the former head of banned fanatics group al-Muhajiroun.
Choudary, who had booked the council-run room in Tower Hamlets for the
event, told the gathering that taking over the UK was their “duty”.
He said: “It is our religious obligation to prepare ourselves both
physically and mentally and rise up against Muslim oppression and take
what is rightfully ours.
“We will not rest until the flag of Allah and the flag of Islam is
raised above 10 Downing Street.”
He said there were only two types of proper Muslims – those in jail
and those who would shortly be in jail.
He added: “We need to submit to the will of Allah.”
As the crowd of 250 Muslims chanted pro-Allah phrases, Choudary tried
to link up to Bakri, 50, by video link.
The technology failed and only Bakri’s voice could be heard but his
message of hate was unaffected.
He raged: “Do not obey British law. We must fight and die for Islam.”
He also praised Osama bin Laden for being a “warrior” and told the
crowd to ignore man-made rules.
The police and Home Office said they were unsure if laws had been
broken by allowing Bakri to address the four-hour meeting. And they
could not confirm if Choudary, 41, who rents the room for £78 an hour
for his new group Islam For The UK, was being investigated for his own
words.
A Home Office spokesman said: “The UK is determined to stop those who
spread extremism through preaching violent messages in our
communities. It is for the police and Crown Prosecution Service to
investigate any breach of the law.”
Choudary denied his plea to “rise up” was inciting violence.
He said: “By ‘rise up’ I mean ‘rise up and air your views’.” |

The Home Office spokesman is wrong, the time of stopping extremism is long
past. The only real hope is in stopping a Government that constantly enables
it.
If the Home office cannot decide if incitement to treason and hate speech is
against the law or not then something has gone very wrong indeed. |
