Britain
Attacks on UK will continue, radical cleric says
2005-07-22
Poster boy for the face of evil
Militant Islamists will continue to attack Britain until the government pulls its troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, one of the country's most outspoken Islamic clerics said on Friday. Speaking 15 days after bombers killed over 50 people in London and a day after a series of failed attacks on the city's transport network, Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed said the British capital should expect more violence.
After all he has a pipeline to Allah, doesn't he?
"Kill the infidels 'cause God is Great!"
"What happened yesterday confirmed that as long as the cause and the root problem is still there ... we will see the same effect we saw on July 7," Bakri said.
You mean the fact that Britain's chock full of nasty holy men, firing up rubes to get them to boom their fellow citizens?
"If the cause is still there the effect will happen again and again," he said, adding he had no information about future attacks or contacts with people planning to carry out attacks.
"No, no! Certainly not! I'm not involved. Nope. Nope."
Bakri, a Syrian-born cleric who has been vilified in Britain since 2001 when he praised the September 11 hijackers, said he did not believe the bombings and attempted attacks on London were carried out by British Muslims.
"They were Lutherans. Definitely Lutherans..."
Did they check him for LSD?
He condemned the killing of all innocent civilians but described attacks on British and U.S. troops in Muslim countries as "pro-life" and justified. In an interview with Reuters, Bakri described Osama bin Laden, leader of the radical Islamist network al Qaeda, as "a sincere man who fights against evil forces".
In 1933 a lot of Germans said the same of Hitler...
Bakri said he would like Britain to become an Islamic state but feared he would be deported before his dream was realised.
Hopefully, it'll be well before his dream is realized.
"I would like to see the Islamic flag fly, not only over number 10 Downing Street, but over the whole world," he said.
I'd like to see this guy flying on a satellite launch as ballast on the rocket...

A hate figure for the British tabloid press, (al-Rooters shows itself) the bearded and bespectacled Bakri said Islam contained "a message of peace for those who want to live with the Muslims in peace".
Fertilizer...
"But Islam is a message of war for those who declare war against Muslims," he said. "I condemn any killing and any bombing against any innocent people in Britain or abroad, but I expect the British people to condemn the killing of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Condemn in one hand and poop in the other. See which fills first.
However, asked about Islamist attacks on British and U.S. troops and on Israelis, he said: "If violence is pro-life I don't condemn it"... Bakri, a 46-year-old father of six, was born in Syria and lived in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. When the Saudi government expelled him in 1985 he came to London.
Who the F let him in?
Nicknamed "The Tottenham Ayatollah" after the area of north London in which he lives, he has infuriated many Britons with his firebrand speeches and refusal to condemn suicide bombings.
I guess one man's "firebrand speeches" is another man's "insane ranting."
He founded the British branch of Hizb ut-Tahrir, which describes itself as a non-violent political party dedicated to creating an Islamic caliphate centred on the Middle East.
Huh?
Hizb ut-Tahrir's an al-Qaeda front organization that's primarily a recruiting tool...
But he split from the group in 1996 and set up al Muhajiroun, which won notoriety in 2001 for celebrating the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon which killed nearly 3,000 people.
Yeah, a real man of pisseace
Bakri has Syrian and Lebanese citizenship and says he thinks the British government might deport him to one of those two countries in the wake of this month's bombings.
Kick the bastard out! Send him back to Syria...
Memo to Dan Darling: Dan, find a nice, quiet place for this guy. Not Gitmo, not Bagram. Diego would be okay.
"But I think that would be political suicide for the British government if they started to deport and imprison all extremists and radicals," he said. "Because if, God forbid, something happened again, they would have nobody left to blame."
If they truly "deport(ed) and imprison(ed) all extremists and radicals", then the attack would not come from inside Britain

#41  If you ship this asswipre anywhere that doesn't immediately take a cheese grater to his forehead, then he is going to keep preaching his hateful muzzie caliphate crap on tapes, CD's, etc. He needs to be iced. Of course he will then be a martyr. One of his kids will do that Tater thing and try and follow in dad's footsteps. At least Hitler had the decency of not having children and Himmler killed his. This guy is a stain and, I'm guessing, that the apples aren't falling far from the tree.

#38  Why should this bastard be extradited to Jordan when he's Syrian?
Besides, preaching jihad murder probably isn't a crime in either country.
I'm with the rest of the Crusader gang here--shipped back to wherever in a cheap coffin with raisins, covered in lard, etc.
Case closed...literally.

#36  Never happen. Britain has more of a problem with liberals than we do.

Free-range liberals are just one of the hassles of an open society. Like the seriously mentally ill wandering the street homeless.

#35  Extradition is one thing. Expulsion is another, and that is what this person should get. He has two passports, let him use one of them; or let Lebanon and Syria strip him of citizenship. Such persons are not entitled to house space in the civilized world.

#34  OOOH, Jordan!!! He does NOT want to get extradited to Jordan. They get "inventive" while interrogating people; finding all sorts of unpleasant uses for common household objects :)

#33  they dont need to use a sedition law. They need some country in the ME to ask for him to be extradited. Note that UK has recently to come to an agreement on extradition with Jordan.

#25  King Tubby Omar's caliphate dreamer/monger scum are not compatible with an free, open and tolerant society. Despite slipspeak he's making a public pronouncement of his hatred for and an endorsement of violence against the UK and western civilization. Don't have to connect all too many dots to understand it. Begone I'd say. But on second thought why inflict him upon anyone else's society by deportation? Lifetime solitary confinement (on a local diet!) would probably do him well if the 7.62mm trepanation cure isn't legally possible.

#24  I am pretty sure the UK has a sedition law they can use on him if they have the will. What ever he should not be allow to speak in public ever at all. Every statement he makes is an incitwement to violence.

#22  What is wrong with the British? I think Mussarhif (spelling?) had it right when he said that it was Britian that needed to do more about these IslamoFacists. Pakistan could always do more, but Britian just lets these HitlerMullahs continue to advocate murder and terrorism in thier own country (Britian) and does't do a thing about it. Are they trying to commit suicide? And the mayor of London is allmost a blood Brother to them.

#21  Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed said the British capital should expect more violence.

In context with his other statements and the recent attacks, this is akin to a declaration of war. Bakri is even more dangerous than the guy who ran in Stockwell. Shoot him and deport his widow+kids.

Their intentions are clear. Islam needs a lesson.

If you do that, then it will just be some other reason. "Abandon Israel or more attacks", then "all westerners must leave the arabian peninsula or more attacks", the "world must be ruled by caliphate or more attacks". Where would it end? Which points do the liberals want to capitulate on? The destruction of israel? Worldwide caliphate? Banned from middle east/ arabian peninsula?

and then the attacks will continue until you appease us yet again and again and again after that.

"I expect the British people to condemn the killing of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan."

Many Britons and many of us Americans do condemn the killings--but it's MUSLIMS killing other MUSLIMS. Hello!

Be grateful he has a mouth to guide you to his empty heart... its the quiet ones that jump you when least expected. The barking dog lets you know he is there... its the biters that should worry us more.
