Islamic Tolerance Alert. “I’ll be Bak-ri,” by Daniel Jones for The People:
Outlawed Islamic fanatic Omar Bakri Mohammed has vowed to defy a ban on him returning to Britain – and challenged anti-terror cops to charge him or leave him alone.
The cleric – accused of turning young British Muslims to al-Qaeda with hate-filled sermons – claims he must fly to London to see his sick 12-year-old daughter.
Bakri begged Government officials to give him a two-week visa, insisting he’d had NOTHING to do with terrorism during the 20 years he lived in the UK.
But then he shot himself in the foot by launching a bizarre videoed rant against the country which still shelters his wife and six children.
The video can be seen here.

Amazingly we captured him on video as he exploded. He shook his fist and shouted: “You are just a people of fish and chips and hot dogs.
“Don’t tell me you are the best nation. This idea you are the best nation. You are the best nation for your culture. What is your culture?”
Later, at a seaside restaurant, he said he hoped Islam’s draconian Sharia law would be global.
He said: “Yes, I do want to see the black flag of Islam over 10 Downing Street as I want to see it everywhere in the world. That is God’s will.
“It doesn’t matter if not everyone is Muslim so long as we get rid of this man-made law.
“Man-made law is corrupted. One minute you say homosexuals are banned then they are allowed. Man changes his mind. Sharia law is based on a message from God.” And he dismissed claims he had urged Muslims to blow up Dublin airport last November, insisting it was a “sarcastic” joke because he knew he was being monitored by government agents.
Bakri – currently living in a posh three-bedroom flat overlooking the Mediterranean – was mobbed by supporters when he gave us a tour of the area and bragged: “I have got a very strong influence here.”
Asked about the crowds waiting to greet him, he told us: “You are used to seeing that only when people do it with a star, a pop star. But for them they do it out of respect. They treat me like a spiritual leader.”
Bakri claimed British backers help fund his lifestyle.
He said: “When people like you they have an Islamic bond with you – it is so powerful. They treat you like a brother or father – sometimes more than that.”

Bakri’s rants sparked fury in Britain last night.
Top Tory MP David Willetts said: “He should never be allowed to set foot on British soil again.”
And the Lib Dems’ Home Affairs spokesman Jeremy Browne said:
“We are a welcoming nation – but our distinctive hospitality should not be abused.”
