Omar Bakri Mohammed was one of three expected to face scrutiny
And he's the type you expect to bravely run away...
A controversial Islamic cleric has left the UK for the Middle East amid speculation he would be investigated for treason, said his spokesman. Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed - former head of radical group Al Muhajiroun - left on Saturday for Lebanon, his colleague Anjem Choudary told the BBC. Tony Blair had warned Mr Mohammed's organisations faced a potential ban under new anti-terrorism measures. Mr Choudary said the cleric believed "Britain had declared war on Muslims".
More like they're fighting back, which is why the "sheikh" ran away. Wotta putz.

#14  On the other hand, I can see this being a pre-arranged "starters pistol" for pre-planned attacks from his followers.

#13  Proved he is a coward. Watch them claim a victory as they run like little girls for a spider.

#10  Bravely Sheikh Mohammed rode forth from Camelot
He was not afraid to die, O brave Sheikh Mohammed
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways
Brave, brave, brave, Sheikh Mohammed
He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp
Or to have his eyes gouged out and his elbows broken
To have his kneecaps split and his body burned away
And all his limbs hacked and mangled, brave Sheikh Mohammed
His head smashed in and his heart cut out
And his liver removed and his bowels unplugged
And his nostrils raped and his bottom burnt off and his penis...
He is brave Sheikh Mohammed,
Brave Sheikh Mohammed who...
...............
Sheikh Mohammed ran away
Bravely, ran away...away...
When danger reared its ugly head
He bravely turned his tail and fled
Yes, brave Sheikh Mohammed turned about
And gallantly he chickened out
Bravely talking to his feet
He beat a very brave retreat
Bravest of the brave, Sheikh Mohammed

#9  You think the threat of treason charges might have been what done it? Kinda of rich to say the UK has declared wars on Muslims...seeing as it was his lot that tried to blow the hell out of Londons not once but twice.

#7  I wonder why he didn't go to Iraq or Afghanistan, isn't he concerned about all the suffering there? Oh yeah, forgot, a little too dangerous there right now.

#2  But his parasite wives and parasite children remain, to be fed, clother, housed and driven by the British taxpayer.
