Abu Hamza
The British Sun tabloid (thanks to Robin) has run a series of pictures from inside the radical Muslim imam’s Finsbury Park Mosque — from which he has been expelled. A few highlights from the accompanying story:
We found details of Hamza’s preaching that clearly prove his support for terrorism, al-Qaeda and its leader Osama Bin Laden.
Amid the mess, walls were scrawled with Arabic graffiti, doors ripped off their hinges and sinks and lavatories smashed. …
Evidence that Hamza and his followers were making thousands of pounds from daily collections was also unearthed by The Sun.
Hundreds of empty plastic bank cash bags were strewn over the building — to deal with money from tins used to raise funds for militant groups in Afghanistan.
The source added: “Hamza and his cronies collected a fortune. None of the money went back into the mosque.”
The sermons scattered around revealed the one-eyed fanatic’s hatred for the country that has given him sanctuary.
In one, called Massacres Until We Change, he calls for more terrorist atrocities like September 11.
Other titles include Blessed Hijacking, Hijacking Indian Planes and America Begs For Condemnation: World Trade Series.
The insider said: “He used to talk like he ran the world. It was obvious he hated the West and gave his full support to terrorism.”
Work has begun on renovating the mosque in a bid to re-open it — and estimates are as high as £200,000.
Hamza — whose family receives £1,000 a week in state handouts — now preaches his hate in the street outside.
He split from mosque trustees following the police raid, which unearthed a stun gun and a blank-firing replica.
But he faces deportation to the Yemen, where he is wanted on terrorist charges.
