About time. From ITV.com, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
Police are examining an internet sermon given by a radical cleric which reportedly called for young British Muslims to join al-Qaeda.Syrian-born Omar Bakri Mohammed, 46, reportedly used a webcast to address his followers, claiming that Britain had become a "land of war" for the Muslim community.
Detectives are "assessing" his latest remarks, in which he also allegedly pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden and told listeners they were "obliged" to join the Mujahidin.
A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "We are assessing purported comments made by an individual to determine whether a criminal offence has been committed."
Bakri, a father-of-seven, moved to the UK in 1985 after being deported from Saudi Arabia because of his membership of a banned group.
The Home Office has since given him leave to remain in the UK for five years but is reviewing his status.
Last year he sparked outrage by suggesting that an attack on a British school, as happened in Beslan, Russia, would be justified as long as women and children were not deliberately killed and only died in crossfire.
He also once praised the September 11 hijackers as the "magnificent 19".
And at the Quaker meeting house, Bakri calls for Brits to join the jihad. From the TimesOnline, "Extremist cleric staged al-Qaeda recruiting rally":
THE radical Islamist cleric whose internet sermons are being investigated by police has held a secret conference at which British Muslims were urged to join al-Qaeda.About 600 people, including women and children, punched the air and chanted Allahu akbar (God is greatest) as they were shown videos of hijacked airliners crashing into the World Trade Centre in New York on September 11, 2001. Omar Bakri Mohammed, the radical Syrian-born cleric, said that if the British Government did not relax its tough anti- terrorism laws, the response from Muslims would be “horrendous”. He added: “I declare we should ourselves join the global Islamic camp against the global crusade camp.”
The event was held this month at The Friends Meeting House in Central London, the British headquarters of the Quaker movement. Mr Bakri Mohammed’s followers booked the hall for a health conference entitled Women’s Dawah UK and the Quakers were unaware that it was a political gathering.
Two reporters from United Press International, a United States-based news agency, attended and reported a series of inflammatory speeches by Mr Bakri Mohammed and his cohorts. One speaker said that Western governments would face “a 9/11 day after day after day”.
As the crowd chanted, the man shouted: “Whether they be stones, whether they be sticks, whether they be knives, whether they be bombs, whatever they may be, prepare as much as you can.”

Calls to Jihad from a Quaker House? You couldn't make this up. The sooner he goes the better.

Calls for Jihad at a Quaker meeting house?
Only Yeats can make sense of this strange, topsey-turvey world that we live in.
The Second Coming -- W. B. Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all convictions, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

This parasite on the same lines as hook hand Hamza and should, like him, be residing at H.M. Queen Elizabeths pleasure in some dungeon. He comes from a wealthy family but has been living on benefit in the UK for 18 years.
He was interviewed on channel 4 news after chat room rants were made public and he immediately went into taquiya, apologetic mode, saying that there are many forms of Jihad.. it was all taken out of context... blah di blah di blah. All you here know the routine so well I don't need to say more.
One thing that did stand out however is :
Has anyone else noticed that ALL these slapheads when being interviewed always "stab" their fingers in the direction of the interviewers in the most aggressive intimidating manner. It seems to be inherent in the entire cult.

I would certainly be happier to keep them in a dungeon, even though it's my taxes that pay for it, rather than to deport them and not know where they are and what they were doing.
The Sun was recommending that he be relocated to Rockhall yesterday; Gruinard Island might suit?

One speaker said that Western governments would face “a 9/11 day after day after day”.And the Muhammadens would in that case face a Hiroshima and Nagasaki day after day after day after year after century after millenium. The craters in the desert once occupied by Mecca and Medina could have fences around them with signs stating "Radiation Hazard: Do not enter for the next 100,000 years." Let us all hope that these death cult fanatics do not truly awaken Yamamoto's mythical Giant.

I'm sure CAIR and all the "True" Muslims denounce these comments as un-Islamic and inciteful words that are forbidden in the Quran.
Blah blah,blah blah...blah blah blah blah blah
blah...............

When the so-called 'moderate Muslim' start shutting up their maniacs like Omar B.M., then there will be a hint of sympathy for them as relatively sane.
And when cows give whipped cream and chickens lay
square eggs we'll know it is about to happen.
Meanwhile, the Brits insult their ass-saving allies (Lend-Lease; Marshall Plan) by permitting this vile scum from even continuing to exist outside of a solitary confinement cell.
With his only reading matter -either:
"Reality and the Mind" by Celestine Bittle;
or:
"The Wit of the Jews" compiled by Groucho Marx.

Sheikh Omar Bakri, born in Syria and now a British subject, is founder and head of the Islamic Religious Court in London, and head of the Al-Muhajiroun Islamist organization. He explains his program for his adopted country in an interview with MEMRI, 9 August 2002:
Question: I listened to your lesson on the foundations of belief, and it seems that you are not interested in bringing students into British society - that is, you are not helping them to be British Muslims.
Bakri: In my method of education, I am opposed to the idea of integration. We do not believe that it is permitted to integrate into the societies in which we live. I am not a supporter of seclusion from society, and I am not a supporter of integration into it. I am a supporter of interaction with society, by means of my religion and my belief, in order to change the environment, not to be changed by it.
Question: And where will this life of estrangement lead?
Bakri: The life of estrangement will lead . . . to [a] change in the situation of the country in which we live, as the Muslims changed the situation in Abyssinia and Indonesia. Allah willing, we will transform the West into Dar Al-Islam [that is, a region under Islamic rule] by means of invasion from without. If an Islamic state arises and invades [the West] we will be its army and its soldiers from within. If not, [we will change the West] through ideological invasion from here, without war and killing.
Either we will preach to them and they will accept [Islam], or we will live among them and they will be influenced by our lives and will accept Islam as a political solution to their problems, not as an ideological solution. [. . . .] Laws can be Islamic-religious and they can be man-made.
They [the West] have imposed man-made law on us, and the [future] Islamic regime will impose Islamic religious rulings on them. The Muslim will act according to this law out of obedience [that is, willingly], and anyone who is not a Muslim will do so by force of law. I do not obey the man-made law. Even if I don't break it, I do not obey it. Allah said: 'Do not obey the infidels and the hypocrites
IS THIS ANYTHING LESS THAN WHAT THE MUFFIE SAID WITH THE GERMANS IN WW2??
I SAY NOT THE ANSWER IS TO ARM YOURSELVES...
THEY ARE DECLARING WAR ON ALL HEAR WHAT THIS MONSTER SAYS HE MEANS WHAT HE IS SAYING AND WHERE ARE TO WHO SAY WE ARE NOT LIKE THIS ?? ARE THEY NOT IN THE WEST AND FOLLOWING HIM??

God Bless the USA and her Fightig Forces and ALL who Fight with her give them Strength, Sight, Wisdom, and Courage to stay the course to Destroy ALL Islamic Terrorist and ALL who Support them Amen
