| [AmericanThinker] While journalists at The Washington Post might call Sheikh Yasser al-Habib an “austere religious scholar” (the descriptor so affectionately used to eulogize Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi after he detonated himself and his own children a tunnel to evade capture by U.S. forces), others night label the Muslim cleric a terrorist, or even just a devout Islamist, while a report at the Daily Mail describes al-Habib … Sheikh Yasser al-Habib, 45, is the soft-spoken yet fiery heretical Shiite preacher who keeps collecting lotsa money from his followers for a variety of projects, including a separate island homeland for his followers to establish a base for living and training, where they can show those other so-called Moslems how to do it right. As part of their outreach they have Al-Muhassin mosque and a £2 million compound – also known as the Minor Land of Fadak — in Fulmer, Buckinghamshire, the Fadak satellite TV station, a scattering of military training camps, and a former charity known as the Mahdi Servants Union (formerly the Khoddam Al-Mahdi Organisation). Sometimes even busy hands are the Devil’s playground… as a “vile Muslim extremist”; after the massacres in the kibbutzim on October 7th, al-Habib reportedly said he and his followers were “buoyed” by the slaughter, and rhetorically asked, “Who among us does not enjoy retaliation of the Zionist enemy?”A traditional Moslem outlook in certain circles, but then the sheikh was traditionally educated, back before he developed his own innovative ideas… Anyway, al-Habib has a substantial following, complete with his own “army” of jihadis, and he’s apparently eyeing small islands across the West—some even along the U.S. border—for purchase, in order to establish Sharia law domains, and he’s just about succeeded in buying a small uninhabited Scottish island called Torsa. As you can expect, the Western governments are radio silent on al-Habib’s ambitions.
