Cleric supports targeting children

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."
Death toll above 350
The Russians are getting a taste because they didn't go after these people hard. France and Germany are no doubt gonna get some too. These assholes eat appeasement for breakfast. It's interesting that to some none of the murders they commit are their "fault". What a wonderful mindset to have, especially if you're allowed to get away with it. End of rant.

Just so we're clear here, not all muslims are terrorists right?

Not all Muslims are terrorists. I'm just pissed off at the radicals. By the way happy Labor Day. Snow will be here soon.

I am amazed that this is the only thread on this board that has even mentioned the Beslan massacre. I felt as sickened watching that on the news as I did when the WTC was attacked. It was utterly shameful.

We do have a problem with idiot extremists in London but they are in the minority. There has recently been a spate of attacks on Islamic centres with racist gaffiti etc. I suppose the ignorant will see the wall to wall coverage of terrorist acts in the name of Islam and blame those around them. Hate breeds hate after all.

[Edit: Sorry, not the only thread. I just saw the one the Rev started]

How many Muslim clerics have you heard come out against terrorism? They are all a suicide bomb waiting to happen. If we don't start shipping them back or sticking gps units up their ass , a trip to Wal-mart will be a life risking experience
