Omar Bakri: "Blair's policies creating militants"

From Gulf News, "Cleric: Blair's policies creating militants," with thanks to Skeetstreet

London : An Islamic cleric who admits to supporting Al Qaida has warned that thousands of Muslims could take up arms against the British Government.

Shaikh Omar Bakri Mohammad told Gulf News Prime Minister Tony Blair's policies were creating extremists and possible terrorists throughout the country.

"From my own experience I do not believe anybody in the UK is planning any action at all ... but there is the potential to have a few thousand if the government continues with its own policies of terrifying [the Muslim community].

"[The government is] pressuring the youth to become radical, extremist, fundamentalist, and now [the youth] enjoy the term terrorist it's something good."

Omar Bakri is the former leader of Al Muhajiroun, a group of Wahabis who once called on people to actively support Osama Bin Laden.

His views inhabit the extreme fringes of Britain's Islamic community and they are shunned by the overwhelming majority of Muslims in Britain.

Even though Al Muhajiroun was once referred to as Britain's largest Muslim group by the New York Times?

During an exclusive interview with Gulf News in north London, he praised the actions of Al Qaida, accused the British Government of discriminating against the Islamic community and denounced the up-coming United Kingdom parliamentary election.

"Obviously I do respect Bin Laden because he is my Muslim brother. I respect what he stands for; maybe I disagree with some of his techniques and methods. But you see if I disagree with somebody's methods it doesn't mean I disagree with his objectives," said Omar Bakri on Thursday.

Al Muhajiroun was formed as an independent group here in 1996. The organisation went on to cause great controversy in Britain, particularly after the September 11 attacks in the US.

Intense pressure from the government and the police led to Omar Bakri's London home being raided in the summer of 2003 and he eventually decided to dissolve Al Muhajiroun last year.

"We started to find ourselves labelled terrorists, sometimes Al Qaida, and they started to dictate upon us what to say, what to believe," he told Gulf News.

"[The police] took two vans [full of my possessions] and they gave it back to me only two months ago. They found nothing. They found a lot of books, a lot of videotapes, yes, a lot of quotes about jihad, yes, but jihad for me is not always by the sword. My jihad was by the word."...

I agree with one objective of Abu Bakri's:

Destroy those who oppose you.

Since he opposes the Western vision of freedom:

deport this Muslo-psycho to Mecca and let them play with him.

(While he would just kill aim to us, we in the West prefer to let the Muslims solve their own festering problems when they can...)

If they cannot, we'll have to turn Bakri into something nice and quiet later.

Perhaps a flowerbed?

Separation of means and ends again...

Am sure Omar would be more comfortable in Saudi Arabia among 'holy wannabes wahabbis'. Britain would be a better place without this dangerous Muslim parasite. By the way is Omar still on welfare, collecting every benefit going for himself, slave mate & brood mare and their seven brats [that I know of]?? Real CRIME of Blair is that he allows these Islamic fanatics comfortable sanctury in Britain and panders to their every whim whilst British people who have worked for years can't get a hospital bed or accomodation. SHAME ON YOU BLAIR!!


So it's now official,Muslims are so pre-disposed
to violence and murder that the slightist perception of being offended triggers the "Jihad-Gene" to go into survival mode and slaughter
any enemies of the Merciful,Loving,Peaceful
god of Islam to preserve the tolerant mindsets of its followers.
This explains why CAIR can't comprehend the Western value of human rights and security of Persons,murder only applies to the innocent,and all non-Muslims are guilty of being the enemies of Allah and a threat to the Dawah that spreads the "True" and "Only" real religion from God.



BTW,at the rate that Muslims are killing other Muslims I find it hard to believe that Islam's
population will stay above 1 Billion in this decade and even be around at the end of this century.
Watch "Planet of the Apes" DVD #2,the similarity
of the Apes having Nuclear missiles and Iran
hell bend on wanting to kill everybody for Allah
makes for a interesting observation and predictible outcome from these followers of the
"Prophet Of Doom" (Muhammed) that killed at will
after getting instruction from the voices in his head.


NO ISLAM - KNOW PEACE

Omar Bakri is the former [leader] of Al Muhajiroun, a group of Wahabis who once called on people to actively support Osama Bin Laden...mi5 has been made aware that there will be a anti-voting march in Bradford (northern UK) on Monday 2nd May 2005. (it's a holiday there)

Speakers at the Conference/March will, surprise! be Shaykh Omar Bakri Mohammed, Azzudeen and Yahya. This is billed as dawah to benefit the call of the proper at-Tawheed. They had riots this past weekend, let's see what today brings.
Not a pretty picture; am sure.
