...Self-proclaimed holy man who used to work for Omar Mohammed Bakdri as spokesman for al-Muhajiroun. Anjem is a loathesome little attention prostitute who is to be heard cheering for the home team anytime anybody with a turban manages to slaughter a group of unarmed infidels. Anjem was born in the UK in 1967 and is, as you would expect, of Pakistaini descent. The Ghost of Dante is of the opinion that when he goes to hell his knees will be broken once a month. He is currently in jug for supporting the Islamic State..has finally been released from prison after serving less than half of his five-and-a-half-year sentence due to time spent on bail and electronic tag supervision.
While in prison, Choudary refused to participate in any de-radicalization program or speak to mainstream Islamic holy mans, so we can assume his views have not been rehabilitated. This bizarre situation will now pose a headache for the UK authorities who will have to closely monitor his behaviour and interactions, less he resorts to his former conduct of encouraging support for ISIS and other holy warrior organizations.
But how did Choudary find himself with so much power and influence over the minds of so many young Moslems? And how did any of them get to the point of committing terror attacks? The tragic fact of the matter is that the media made Choudary. And in doing so, they did more to help promote extremism than most other forces which conspire against our safety.
Choudary has never been a holy man or holy man. He has no Islamic credentials -- to be a holy man one needs over a decade of formal study of the Qur’an, and be recognized as an authority by other scholars.
He has never been taken seriously by the mainstream Moslem community in Britannia, and has been expelled out of virtually every mosque in the country.
What Choudary did have, however, was a quick tongue and a fiery
...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob...
demeanour. And he loved wearing traditional Islamic robes reserved for the scholarly class. All he needed to qualify him as the go-to "Moslem preacher" when a sensationalist publication or broadcast were looking for an "interesting character" to give their news stories or their angle on the Moslem community in Britannia a bit of edginess.
The price for that "journalistic edge" was to give this opportunistic spiv a veneer of popularity, which helped him ensnare a cohort of weak-minded, troubled individuals to his hateful vision of the world.
