Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Shi’ite Muslim cleric raises $3,850,000 to buy small island and turn it into Sharia-adherent Islamic state

By

A man should not be able to buy land in a sovereign nation and enforce a legal system separate from that of the nation itself. But shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain is unlikely to summon the will to stop Yasser al-Habib. To do so would be “Islamophobic.”

Anyway, Yasser al-Habib is impatient. Before too long, the whole country will be under Sharia anyway.

“Hate cleric with his own ‘army’ raises £3m to create Islamic homeland on Scottish island – as the extremist who already runs military-style training camps bids to build his own school, hospital and mosque and practise sharia law at remote spot,” by Abul Taher and Daisy Graham-Brown, Daily Mail, July 28, 2024:

A firebrand cleric who has been accused of spreading hate has raised more than £3 million to buy a small British island and turn it into his own Islamic state.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Sheikh Yasser al-Habib, 45 – who claimed asylum in Britain 20 years ago after fleeing his native Kuwait – and his followers are in advanced talks to buy the remote isle of Torsa, off the west coast of Scotland.

The extremist scholar, who already runs military-style training camps, hopes his organisation can build its own school, hospital and mosque on the island, where it intends to practise sharia law.

In a video encouraging supporters to donate towards their £3.5 million target, the cleric says he will negotiate with the Government to allow Muslims ‘from all over the world’ to be given a visa in order for them to live in their new ‘homeland’.

Residents on the neighbouring island of Luing reacted with concern when The Mail on Sunday revealed his plans to them.

One man said: ‘I’ve spent much of my life working in Muslim countries so have no issues whatsoever with that community, but this group do seem alarming from what I’ve just seen now.’

Al-Habib, who is accused of stirring up sectarian hatred in Britain and in the Arab world between Shias and rival Sunni Muslims, has his ‘global headquarters’ in the picturesque village of Fulmer, South Buckinghamshire….

Al-Habib has since said on Fadak TV that Torsa, which comes with two little adjoining islets, is an ‘irreplaceable opportunity’.

Encouraging supporters to donate, he said Torsa will become an Islamic ‘homeland’ which they will create to prepare for the coming of their messiah, known as mahdi.

In one three-minute video, al-Habib says: ‘If you want to live free under the banner of the imam [Shia leader], in a special homeland where you feel everything in it reminds you of the awaited mahdi, everything is the Shia homeland…support this project.’

In the same video, another man, who is filming from Torsa, says: ‘Here, my brothers, God willing, we want to build a large mosque, a school and a hawza [Shia seminary]. We want this place to be a homeland to the Shias and the believers.’ The footage switches to images of al-Habib’s ‘army’, called Al-Shurta Al-Khamis, training and doing drills in the grounds of his mosque in Fulmer.

In another video, al-Habib, who spent nearly three months in jail in Kuwait for insulting the Sunni faith, said the MSU will obtain the right for Shias from around the world to immigrate to the island….

  1. Mr. Spencer: WHO are YOU to say that an Islamist SHITE SHMENDRIK plans to turn a Scots Island into a DIARRHOEA-ADHERENT, Islamic STEAK?????

    First of all, that “shmendrik ” as you call him, happens to have good taste, in choosing a Scots island! If it’s not Scottish, it’s crrrrrap!!

    Secondly, his head gear looks pretty cool, almost like a type of hoodie-scarf hybrid-combo. It’s much better than the toiletlike turbans sported by many members of Whizz-Bowl-Ahh! His beard and moustache also look relatively well-maintained.

    Thirdly, an Islamic steak, if properly-prepared, does not induce diarrhoea! If it does, it must be the fault of those treacherous, dirty Jews!

    Really, Mr Spencer, you are clueless par excellence! You probably think that the Isle of Eigg is a poultry farm!

    Please concern yourself with YOUR infidel, swine-munching country, and let US concern ourselves with OURS! All right??!!!

    (Sincerely, John Allan!!)

  2. “…the remote isle of Torsa, off the west coast of Scotland.”

    Luck wid dat, Habibi. There’s a reason no one lives on that island.

    • True–if an island is too remote or has too harsh a climate *for the Scots* to inhabit it, you know it is pretty inhospitable…

  3. Thank you,Mike, for using a word I did not know. but prompted by its appearance above, I now do: “Shmendrik.”

    • Hugh: you’re welcome! You and Mr. Spencer (and Daniel Greenfield, and other contributors here) have also helped me to improve my vocabulary.

    • You provide so much info, I thought to at least look it up for you for further clarification.
      “A schlemiel is a bungler who can’t do anything right. A schlimazel is a person who has no luck. When bringing his date a glass of wine at a romantic dinner, a schlemiel trips and spills it. A schlimazel is the person he spill it on. And a schmendrick is a small schlemiel. A schmegegge is someone who is just plain petty. A shmegegge will alway pick on a schmendrick.”

      • Mgoldberg: thanks. I’m not that great at Yiddish-derived terms, but I know a bit from listening to Lenny Bruce, or reading humour magazines such as MAD, for example.

        I also speak some German, and there’s some overlap there.

        I understand that in Yiddish, the insult “schmuck” is much stronger than it is in English; it’s like calling someone a “malicious A-hole.”

        However, in English it’s not much stronger than calling someone a “sap”, “loser” or even a “nebbish.” That’s my understanding, anyhow.

    • Wow! There’s a word that the erudite Hugh Fitzgerald is not familiar with?

      And yes–Shmendrik is a wonderful word.

  4. The owner of the island said he won’t sell to these savages. But you know they’ll get their way.
    Can’t go anywhere in the UK now, the turds are everywhere.
    You end invaders and that is the only option.

      • It’s only around a 1×1 miles, not populated. For decades there was an island further North of the West coast of Scotland polluted by anthrax, this would be much worse.

  5. There is of course today the small matter of the multiple death and mass stabbing in Southport England of kids and adults.
    If he’s non-white, it’ll be the usual excuses of mental health and how everyone should feel sorry for him.
    If white, then a perfect example of the threat to all by white guys, despite such being rare.

    The name going around at the moment is a 17 year old Ali al-shakati or similar bollocks.

    • I have read that they’re not releasing his full name because he’s under 18. Well, if a young offender is 16 or 17, and they’re involved in a felony like this, then the courts and the media should have the option of releasing their full name, and a mugshot of them as well.

      • That would be usual in the UK. Although after conviction it can change case by case.
        People claiming that name say he came here recently yet the police say born in Cardiff.

  8. Well, after Hamza Yousaf got removed and Scotland – for the time being at least – stopped being a shariah state, they needed alternatives, and therefore put a bid on this island

  9. This island can never be this guy’s fiefdom or “homeland”. It is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain & N Ireland, and cannot be separated from it, even if he is the current proprietor of it. It is therefore subject to all the laws (and taxes) of the United Kingdom. The Sovereign of this island is King Charles.

  10. Turns out the 17 year Southport child murderer is from a family of nogs from Rwanda.

  11. I forecast after the first winter there the ‘inhabitants’ will be begging to be let off the island paradise.

  12. Don’t worry even if he buys it the UK planning system will stop anything happening for about 30 years.

  13. UK: Shi’ite Muslim cleric raises $3,850,000 to buy small island and turn it into Sharia-adherent Islamic state
    …………………………………………….

    Is Britain going to allow a Shari’ah state on their land? There was a time when this would have been a ridiculous question–at this point, I’m not so sure…

  15. I was born in Scotland and I find this disgraceful that any muslim gang could set up a sharia compliant scene on a small Island off the Coast of West Scotland, first if the Scotsman that sells it to them should be condemned but I wonder why they didn’t buy a small island off the Coast of Indonesia and there are many there with nobody around plus Indonesia is in fact an islamic Nation, so we all know the main reason they chose the UK.
    I hope the guy doesn’t sell it and if he does then the local council will not give permission to build on it and if they build on it anyway without permission then burn it down with them inside the building.
    I dont live in Scotland since decades and live on the other side of the World from the UK.
