Abu Hamza Says He Will Defy Ban
2003-02-05
Source: The Independent
A Muslim preacher pledged yesterday to defy a decision by the Charity Commission banning him from a mosque in north London. Abu Hamza al-Masri was banned from acting as an agent or officer of Finsbury Park mosque after complaints by its trustees. The chief charity commissioner, John Stoker, said Abu Hamza was preventing the mosque from being run as a charity.
After all, it's their mosque...
The cleric [Abu Hamza] accused Mr Stoker of taking a political decision and said the Charity Commission had ignored the wishes of worshippers. He said: "It's not part of his job to take political sides."
"That's my job..."
"This is an important part of my preaching, to join the realities of the time to the verses of the Koran." He said he would defy the ban and hold Friday prayers in the street outside the mosque.
And when does he leave for Yemen?

#6  The fact that he doesn't own the place doesn't seem to register...

Look, Hammy - we all think it'd be just peachy for you to keep preachin' that old time jihad, as long as you do it in your own mosque. But seein' as how you don't pay the upkeep on this one, how about you and your little pack of whackos take a fucking hike?

#2  Drop him out of the space station, and let him be a flaming symbol of Muslim re-entry into modern society.
