Omar Bakri: "I cannot be British. I cannot be English."
 | Then begone, you arrogant arsehat. |
The radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed inflamed tensions further yesterday with an attack on Muslims who took part in inter-faith services after the bombings. He branded any Muslims who attended the Trafalgar Square vigil last week as "hypocrites and apostates". In an interview, Bakri said: "God forbids us from praying with Jews and Christians side by side. These are part-time Muslims or chocolate Muslims. I cannot be British. I cannot be English. Even if I change my colour, like Michael Jackson, I could not be English." | "Read my lips. I hate you. I hate the guy standing next to you. I spit upon your laws, and work every day to plan your death. Now give me some money or I'll seethe some more." |
The Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, has said that he will be making greater use of powers to exclude from Britain people already here who encourage violence. And he suggested that such powers might be used against Bakri and other radical clerics who have made outspoken comments. | Yesterday would be a fine day for a deportation, Mr. Clarke. Or even the day before yesterday. |
