An extremist Islamic cleric based in Britain said yesterday that he would support hostage-taking at British schools if carried out by terrorists with a just cause.

Omar Bakri Mohammed, the spiritual leader of the extremist sect al-Muhajiroun, said that holding women and children hostage would be a reasonable course of action for a Muslim who has suffered under British rule.

In an interview with The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Mohammed said: "If an Iraqi Muslim carried out an attack like that in Britain, it would be justified because Britain has carried out acts of terrorism in Iraq.

"As long as the Iraqi did not deliberately kill women and children, and they were killed in the crossfire, that would be okay."

Mr Mohammed, 44, who lives in Edmonton, north London, but is originally from Syria, also claimed that the Chechen rebels were not responsible for the deaths of more than 350 people - at least half of them children - who are so far known to have died in Beslan.

"The Mujahideen [Chechen rebels] would not have wanted to kill those people, because it is strictly forbidden as a Muslim to deliberately kill women and children. It is the fault of the Russians," he said.

The father of seven came to Britain in 1985 after being deported from Saudi Arabia because of his membership of a banned group. He has since been given leave by the Home Office to remain in Britain for five years but the Government is reviewing his status.

He gave an interview yesterday to promote a "celebratory" conference in London next Saturday to commemorate the third anniversary of the September 11 attacks.

Andrew Dismore, the Labour MP for Hendon, was infuriated by Mr Mohammed's comments. "That sounds to me like incitement and I will report him to Scotland Yard," he said. "It is an insult to most moderate Muslims, who are sick of people like this claiming to represent them."

What I find COMPLETELY FUCKING BIZARRE is that it seems that he was thrown out of Saudi Arabia for being an extremist muslim.

Saudi Arabia - the home of Bin Laden and most of the guys who killed 3000 innocent people!!  And he was too extreme to be allowed to live there - and the Brits let him live in England !?!?!   WTF, Over?


Why the hell wasn't this guy living in a cave in Afghanistan, or an igloo on antrarctica or something??

Britain has freedom of speech. Fraudi Arabia does not.

I am surprised no one has taken care of it unofficially.

"It is an insult to most moderate Muslims, who are sick of people like this claiming to represent them."



"Most moderate muslims"?????  

Is that like "Most vegetarian Great White sharks"?????  

If they really are "sick of people like this claiming to represent them", then they sure are being QUIET about it.  I've been checking the local news, and they have not reported any "Not in my name" demonstrations by the local followers of the "religion of peace".  I guess they are so sick they can't talk.

Freedom of speach works both ways.
Where is the outrage from the British citizens ?
I don't mean that there is no outrage but where's the demonstrations, the marches, the demands to deport this pig ?
We're the same way here in the U.S.
The fucking socialists plan rallys and marches for every pet cause they have, why doesn't the other side do the same ?

I think that he is of more use to the British where they can observe him and see who associates with him.

Quite a bit of difference between rationalizing(soliciting?) the murder of children and a political rally. If you can't see it, you have some problems...

A banned group could mean a group that opposed the royal family or something.

If this guy is suffering under British rule and doesn't like their policies,  why doesn't he get the fuck out of the country??

They kicked OBL out too...

Remember: they want their radicals throwing themselves against OUR guns, not theirs...

The whole point of this isn't iIslam, it's a bunch of middle eastern govts dumping their garbage into other nations, so they don't have to clean it up...

The point is to distract them and make them attack US instead of their home nations...

As I've said before: These governments, our ostensable 'allies' are leaving a flaming bag of revolutionary dogshit on our doorstep...

It's high time the US Army return it to the palace that sent it our way...

'License to govern revoked.

Cause: Pissing off the USA'

Now, meet your people, they're very happy to see you (or your head, anyway, we'll provide the platter)....

Hypothetically, in another time and place:

me: "Why not just snatch that guy up?"

Other: "We can do that any time.  And if he leaves the house we just might.  But right now lets just ID everyone who goes in or out, follow them, and ID everyone they associate with."
