Britain's online imam declares war as he calls young to jihad

Omar Bakri is up to his old tricks. From the Times Online, with thanks to all who sent this in:

AN EXTREMIST London cleric is using live broadcasts on the internet to urge young British Muslims to join al-Qaeda and has condoned suicide terrorist attacks. Omar Bakri Mohammed, who has lived in the UK for 18 years on social security benefits, pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden and told his followers that they were in a state of war with Britain. The Times monitored Mr Bakri Mohammed’s nightly webcasts in which he declared that the “covenant of security” under which Muslims live peacefully in the UK had been “violated” by the Government’s tough anti-terrorist legislation, The Syrian-born radical said: “I believe the whole of Britain has become Dar ul-Harb (land of war). In such a state, he added, “the kuffar (non-believer) has no sanctity for their own life or property.”

In his broadcasts, conducted through an internet chatroom, Mr Bakri Mohammed stopped short of calling for terrorist attacks in Britain. But he said that Muslims should join the jihad “wherever you are” and told one woman that she was permitted to become a suicide bomber.

Mr Bakri Mohammed, 46, has indefinite leave to remain in the UK but could be detained without trial under the Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act if the Home Secretary were to decide he is a terrorist associate.

Last Monday he told his listeners: “Al-Qaeda and all its branches and organisations of the world, that is the victorious group and they have the emir and you are obliged to join. There is no need . . . to mess about.” Two nights later he said that the voices of dead Mujahidin were calling young Britons to fight. “These people are calling you and shouting to you from far distant places: al jihad, al jihad. They say to you my dear Muslim brothers, ‘Where is your weapon, where is your weapon?’ Come on to the jihad,” he said.

"Omar Bakri Mohammed, who has lived in the UK for 18 years on social security benefits,"

Isn't that beautiful? This bastard has spent the last 18 years living off the goodwill of people he wants to subjugate or destroy. Maybe the British gov't has some sort of public-funded bomb-building class he can take. If he has time, that is. What with his busy schedule of fomenting treason and cashing social security cheques and all.

Crime against Humanity

To deprive a Muslim child from his/her culture and language is a crime against Humanity. British education system is guilty of such crime for the last 50 years. The first wave of Muslims arrived with three or four languages including English but the next generation born and educated by native teachers has been subject to learn English in local accents, making them mis-fit not only for the British society at large but also for the whole world. A Muslim is the citizen of this small global village. On top of that they have been discouraged to learn Arabic and Urdu, making them cut off from their cultural roots. They are unable to enjoy the beauty of Urdu literature and poetry. They are unable to have a good communication with their parents and elders. All of them suffer from Identity Crises resulting in mental, emotional and social problems. We have lost three generations and fourth one is in the process of loosing its linguistic, Religious and cultural Identity. Respect and tolerance of different religions, cultures and languages are essential for positive community cohesion.

The solution of all those problems is state funded Muslim schools. Muslim parents should be given educational vouchers so that they could send their children to private Muslim schools. There are hundreds of state schools where Muslim pupils are in majority. In my opinion all such schools may be designated as Muslim community schools, under the control of Muslim Educational Trusts or Charities. Teacher is a role model. Bilingual Muslim teachers are required to teach bilingual Muslim pupils right from Nursery level.

I wonder when Mr Dashti and his clan emigrate to Mars if they will require that Martians also provide them with muslim schools instead of the traditional little green men schools?? From what I have seen in the movies, the Martians are a pretty terrifying lot, perhaps they'll have more testicular fortitude than the Brits and send the greedy arrogant bastards back to the their mud huts.

Sweetie, you've got your wires crossed...Ali Dashti is a Jihad Watcher and only POSTED that article.
Re: Omar Bakri, another disgraceful case of British Dhimmitude ACTUALLY FUNDING A GUY[and dependants] WHO OPENLY WANTS TO KILL THE VERY ONES
WHO ARE FEEDING AND SHELTERING HIM!! Dhimmitude is so bad that you have to wonder how these people held an Empire together -no wonder they lost it along with their self respect.
ALI DASHTI - Gee, that article just shows how GRATEFUL the Umma are claiming refuge from persecution and welfare benefits!! And the poor sods are 'robbed of their cultural heritage by the British??' Wonder why they don't return to their countries of origin and 'their heritage' instead of remaining amongst Infidels [pardon -
Dar ul-Harb]. And to think of all those persecuted
Coptic and Middle Eastern Christians who are refused entry into Britain by crazy British Authorities....

Whatever happened to the British S.A.S.? Can't they simply catch and throw this guy down a closed mineshaft in Cornwall and do the world a favor?

What does he have to do, get caught with a bomb as he is planting it under Parliament (Guy Fawkes, phone home!)?

Of course, then he could just say it was a Wahabbi-Anglo Renovation Project (WARP), cry "Islamophobia!" and get some quasi-communist London lawyer to drag the court case out for another 18 years of social welfare.

What next, Prince Harry converting is Islam?

Here's a similar case from Canada.

Ahmed Ressam was the Millinium-Bomber that was on a mission to blow-up the LAX Airport and slaughter people during the peak period of human traffic in the airport.
This peaceful,god-laving Muslim had lived in Canada on welfare for 5 years and suplimented that income by stealing luggage at hotels as guests arrived,he would sell the ID papers that might be in them or use the Credit cards if any were found.
Ressam attend a Local Mosque in Montreal that was being watched by the RCMP for it's Al-Qaeda connections that used it to raise funds by selling "Jihad" videos to inspire young Muslims to murder for Allah as Muhammed did in Medina.


Ressam was caught trying to enter the USA at a Washington state port,the Canadian Liberals excused away the lifestyle of this freeloading Muslim terrorists by saying they watched him while in Canada but had no control over what he did outside Cananda.
The Immigration minister said that he didn't commit terrorists acts in Canada and as a refugee he was protected from deportation by the refugee-laws that exempt crimes as the grounds for renouncing a claim. The logic is that the refugee
could suffer harm if sent back to the place they fled the oppressed them.


Canada's rules have changed for 2005 and many
asylum seekers can no longer globetrot to canada and go right on welfare.
Of course CAIR and their ilk scream racism and say this new law hurts children,but so did the 9/11 attack and they didn't seem to care at that time. Why even now a imam is declaring that the Tsunami was Allah's way of tellng people to turn to Islam,even though the victims were mainly woman and children.
These are the men that demand Shariah-law in Canada,that showa what little value they put on females and babies that Allah willed them to die as martyrs for the Islamic cause.

even a scum like Bakri has a use.
He can serve as a vocal example of what could be in store from British mualims.
The more his statements are braodcast for ALL to hear, ( and i would love to see the BBC and the rest of the UK MSM to do just that), the more the british will learn and start educating themselves to the "peaceful religion".
Robert Spencer and Bat ye'or will be read more profusely and this can only be good thing.
Yes it is Bakri who is "the useful idiot here", a welcome change from the moonbat left!

If the Muslim extremists do carry out an attack in the UK then they should be aware that the British response will not be like the Spannish one of caving in and running away, it will be a measured gritty determination to win, much like we did in the second world war.

People like me almost want these idiots to launch an attack in the UK, it will wake our people up from their slumber!! Most people are fed up with Islam, they keep saying "but we can not do anything", but if these backward half-wits do kill a lot of people, well they will... just watch.

Here in the U.S. we have been attacked yet again on our soil as a FAMILY has been slaughtered after confronting muslims with Christianity.
This drew very little media coverage and as I've been watching this morning have not seen mention of it YET.Very few of us are willing to do any thing about it and since 9-11-01 my fellow citizens still slumber as though in hibernation.

It is up to people like us who visit sites to learn about what is really happening and then when we find out how sick it is we go and run around like "chicken little screaming the sky is falling" but no one looks up to take refuge.

Unbelievable that Bakri's still in our country. The Daily Star did a poll to vote to have him deported, most newspapers reported the sick scumbags involvement with the 9/11 celebrations, and he still walks among us. This is the doing of those insufferable himan rights activist. It's about time they all started working for the human rights of actual humnas instead of neanderthals like Bakri.

Greetings,

Though i am a regular reader of this site This is my first comment.

I request Brits not be offended by my comment But I will say that almost all Terrorists (read muslim) leaders are given asylum in Britian by the British. This Bakri, Pakistani Altaf hussien Who is declared a terrorist by pakis, Kashmiri terrorists, and mostly all middle eastern ones who have a terrorist connection.
Also they are FED by the innocent Christian Brits whom this Bakri wants to kill.

If the British want to be safe in Britian they have to stop all Visas or immigration provided to Muslims. They can encourage immigration and give visas to poor Christians those who belong to Christian countries like Mexico,Philipines,Brazil, and also to people from secular countries like India,Nepal,Thailand,etc. by this way British can solve 2 things in one shot, they can get cheap and good labour force and also will not be threatned by Islam and islamic Maniacs.

Also encourage young British couples to have more children and lead a good christian life.

thanking you

Lets get one thing perfectly clear Islam will never rule the UK !!! that will never happen. What will happen is Islam will bring misery and death and pain and suffering. There is no doubt in my mind that Islam will kill in the UK to advance its filth of the Poligamous cult it calls Islam. Most of the UK are unaware of the real threat these Islamofacists but when the nature of the beast rises, which it will, the People of this country will quickly halt is course far more quickly then other European countries, but Islam will have a painful hold by then and we (UK) will suffer. Children will be slaughtered as in Russia, prominant voices will be silenced as in holland, (Van Gogh), honour killings will happen as in Saudi, and converts from Islam to christianity will be punished as in the New Jersey murders just gone. But they will never be able to gain much control which will frustrate them immensly, they know this ! But who are they ? why are the government so willingly blind to this? the best source of infomation i find in my opinion is the "Paltalk" on the internet social issues catagory and you will find many rooms debating the real face of Islam which is not pretty at all. Islam is not a peaceful religion (cult) it is not a religion that is tolerant to others it is not a religion that is close to Christianity that is a myth, and in fact it is a religion that calls for the death of all that will not convert, espically the Jews. There is a lot to learn about this cult and its Master Mohammed. There prophet was a murder rapist poligamous thug who marrried a 6 year old child, and prophecised nothing at all!!! Why do we allow them any freedom in our country and why do we allow them any respect ???

I know, it was a noble thing to offer asylum, but this has been mis-used for years. I am at a total loss to why these terrorists have not been rounded up.

Posted by: Daffersd [TypeKey Profile Page] at January 17, 2005 1:14 PM

They haven't rounded them up because it will offend the politically correct brainwashed masses.

Someone once came on JihadWatch and quoted the German Chancellor who said:

HE WHO LOVES DEATH SO MUCH - MUST BE CAREFUL THAT IT IS NOT HIS DEATH THAT HE GETS.


This guy Bakri and others are angry - because the British Government has a few terror suspects locked up and plans to hold them indefinately.

Human rights people are saying that it is an outrage - but the British Government is saying that this is a matter concerning National Security and for this reason normal judicial rules won't apply.

The terror suspects argument is that the information gained on them - may have been gained through the use of torture - namely by Americans in prison camps.

That the whole case against them should be thrown out on these grounds. And for this reason many Muslims were counting on their release.


Most of these men come from countries were human rights are virtually none existant. And when they see our system - they are not thinking about the right to free speech - the right to a fair trail - they are thinking about how they can use our - hard won freedoms - to kill and to subjugate us.

THESE PEOPLE SIMPLY WANT THE 'RIGHT' TO KILL US - IF THEY WANT TO.

There should be no 9/11 commission - because there should be no 9/11. We have to understand how these people think and what their aims are - if they have not come to our countries to fulfill a dream of working to better their living standard - then we need to know why have they come.
