A Muslim cleric? But how could a man who has devoted his life to understanding Islam properly and communicating it effectively have gotten the idea that the Religion of Peace was exhorting him to wage war against unbelievers? Learned imams such as Pope Francis and H.R. McMaster need to travel to Jamaica forthwith to explain to Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal that authentic Islam and the proper understanding of the Qur’an reject every form of violence.
“U.S. indicts radical cleric on terror charges,” by Karen Matthews, Associated Press, August 27, 2017:
NEW YORK — A radical Muslim cleric who was convicted of stirring up racial hatred in Britain was indicted Friday in New York on charges of recruiting potential terrorists.
Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal was arrested in Jamaica, where he had been deported a decade ago….
According to the Manhattan district attorney, el-Faisal offered to help the undercover officer travel to the Middle East and join fighters with the Islamic State extremist group….
The 53-year-old el-Faisal was born Trevor William Forrest in Jamaica.
U.S. authorities had long been concerned about him, fearing that he would emerge as a recruiter of marginalized, disaffected youth in Jamaica.
Born to Christian parents, he converted to Islam as a teenager and later left Jamaica for religious study. He preached in London mosques, delivering sermons that advocated war with Jews, Hindus and other groups and the use of chemical weapons to exterminate nonbelievers.
“The way forward is the bullet,” he said in one recorded message.
Those talks got renewed attention after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. In 2003, he was convicted under of a seldom-used British law for inciting murder. After his release from prison in 2007, he was deported to Jamaica. The Islamic Council of Jamaica, which had banned el-Faisal from preaching in the country’s mosques because of his inflammatory sermons, said it was not affiliated with el-Faisal and had no information regarding his arrest.
El-Faisal was subsequently ejected from Kenya after a trip there in 2009 because of suspicions of encouraging young men to join an Islamic extremist group in Somalia. He was then deported to Jamaica again in early 2010.
In diplomatic cables, first obtained and released by WikiLeaks, U.S. officials said he or his associates had been linked with several suspected terror plots.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said el-Faisal “has dedicated his life to terror recruitment.”
“Through his lectures, website and videos, he incites untold numbers of people around the world to take up the cause of jihad,” Vance said. “As is alleged in this case, he provided material support to the Islamic State by facilitating the passage of a self-described [Islamic State] sympathizer from New York to Syria. A charismatic leader, the defendant’s rhetoric has been cited by several convicted or suspected terrorists in New York, London and beyond.”
Jaladhi says
He understands his religion well and that is why he is calling for the terror attacks on non-Muslims!! Islam is terror as Mohammad himself says !Only the West thinks Islam is peace when the originator of islam says otherwise! Who do you think is right – Mo or the West?

A convert. Conversion to Islam is by that very fact a repudiation of the Constitution, and of one’s American citizenship. Conversion must be followed by surrender of passport, cessation of all welfare benefits, and deportation to the Muslim country of one’s choice.
Oliver says
He was born in Jamaica
Does not say that he had or has American citizenship
dumbledoresarmy says
So, *Jamaica* which is overwhelmingly non-Islamic, and majority – at least nominally – Christian, is surely under no obligation to keep this creep. They could sentence him to Life-Long Exile… in the Mohammedan country of his choice. Give him the boot.
He has repudiated non-Islamic, Christian Jamaica. He has dishonoured the memory of the *millions* of black African victims of Jihad, by embracing the genocidal war-cult that is Islam, Islam which views black people with contempt, Islam that used castrated black boys as eunuchs in the harems.

It’s about time we start eradicating this fifth column from our lands. Thank you Trump, keep rounding them up. The entire world needs to start rounding up every similar hate preacher asap and dealing with them in the harshest possible manner.

HOW IS THE FOLLOWING FOR HATE SPEECH? BUT WE MUST NOT QUOTE HIM or WE are intolerant!
Starting in 1984, El-Faisal studied Islam for seven years on a Saudi government scholarship at the Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
After a four-week trial at the Old Bailey, el-Faisal was found guilty by a jury of six men and six women on 24 February 2003 of: (a) three charges of soliciting the murder of Jews, Americans, Hindus, and Christians; and (b) two charges of using threatening words to stir up racial hatred, in tapes of speeches to his followers. He was the first Muslim cleric to be tried in the UK.
In tapes of lectures he had given, he exhorted Muslim women to buy toy guns for their children, to train them for jihad. El-Faisal tried to recruit British schoolboys for Jihad training camps, promising them “seventy-two virgins in paradise” if they died fighting a holy war. El-Faisal said “Those who want to go to Jannah [paradise], it’s easy, just kill a Kaffar [unbeliever] … by killing that Kaffar you have purchased your ticket to paradise.” He suggested killing non-Muslims like “cockroaches.”
On one tape, titled “Jihad”, he said: “Our methodology is the bullet, not the ballot.” In a tape called “Rules of Jihad”, thought to have been made before the 9/11 attacks, he said: “You have to learn how to shoot. You have to learn how to fly planes, drive tanks, and you have to learn how to load your guns and to use missiles. You are only allowed to use nuclear weapons in that country which is 100% unbelievers.” He encouraged the use of “anything, even chemical weapons,” to “exterminate non-believers.” A picture of the burning World Trade Center was on the cover of one recording.
He lectured: “You can go to India, and if you see a Hindu walking down the road you are allowed to kill him and take his money, is that clear, because there is no peace treaty between us.” He also suggested that power plants could use the dead bodies of Hindus as fuel. “Jews,” el-Faisal said, “should be killed … as by Hitler.” He said: “People with British passports, if you fly into Israel, it is easy. Fly into Israel and do whatever you can. If you die, you are up in paradise. How do you fight a Jew? You kill a Jew. In the case of Hindus, by bombing their businesses.”
