| Any UK Moslem Who Co-Operates With UK Authorities Against Other Moslems Is an Apostate | |
| 2004-04-01 | |
Muslims cannot co-operate with local authorities against other members of the faith, the outspoken leader of an Islamic group has said. Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad was reacting to a call from the Muslim Council of Britain for the community to play its part in the fight against terrorism, following the anti-terrorism raids earlier this week in which eight men were arrested. ... Sheikh Omar told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: "Muslims have a unique way of life. Co-operating with the authorities against any other Muslims, that is an act of apostasy in Islam.

| #10 Geeze: All the Kill Him/Them Now posts... Hell, me, I'd take his word for it and start deporting anyone who agrees. Take this recent business where the same imams are complaining about the Brit version of the Pledge of Allegiance (to country and Queen). You don't like it? You don't have to be here. It's simple; it's non-discriminatory (it doesn't care if you're green, yellow, black, or white so long as you agree); and it cuts to the chase... Are you willing to state your allegiance, and risk the consequences of breaking them, or are you just a freeloader? If more people were presented with that sort of "black-and-white" option, I think you might see some push-back from the legendary "moderate Muslim" community against the extremists. But until it becomes an issue that impacts on people's livelihoods, then everyone (ourselves included), will just slough it off. |

| #9 a "cycle of violence" has been created by both terrorists and the British and American response. .... There's that damned "cycle of violence" again. Because he names three parties, doesn't that really make it a tri-cycle? Obviously, to him, it's wrong because there's a response. Play the good dhimmi, and the cycle goes away. Bastard. |

| #7 This is why I said, several months ago, that Islam is incompatible with freedom. Freedom means the right to say "NO". Islam gives you no such right - it's either Islam or death. The choice is clear: destroy Islam or give up all freedom. I will NOT surrender. KILL THEM ALL NOW. |

| #6 Sheikh Omar claims the "media" is "demonizing the Muslims? That's such BS. The bulk of mainstream media covers for the Muslims who do a very efficient job of demonizing themselves. Exhibit A: witness Sheikh Omar's comments to the BBC. |

| #4 The Imams ARE the cause of that 'Cycle of Violence (tm)'... I think Al-Beeb did us a favour; give these guys enough rope so that they hang themselves... |

| #3 Well, for better or for worse, Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad has set the battle lines. On BBC radio he has documented that he will not cooperate with authorities in certain instances. The govt needs to act on this incitment speech. I do not know if he is a British subject (citizen) but if he is not, he needs to be shown the door. The govt cannot back down on this. It is a fundamental issue, and like the scarf issue in France, it is a calculated step by the Islamists to establish Sharia in their |
