Bakri Mohammed preaches again

Omar Bakri Mohammed is an extremist Moslem cleric who used to lead the Al-Muhajiroun organization. He disbanded them in October, much to my disappointment. I used to like reading them and quoting them on a slow day.

Now he is having broadcasts in an internet chatroom. "I believe the whole of Britain has become Dar ul-Harb (land of war)," - he said. In such a state, he added, "the kuffar (non-believer) has no sanctity for their own life or property." He also urged his followers to join Al Qaeda.

One of his avid readers was The Times. When confronted by them, he said that he did not, of course, mean anything bad or violent. His definition of Dar ul-Harb is, of course, purely theoretical, and he just wanted to encourage Moslems to move away from such a horrible place. Mr. Bakri Mohammed himself is, of course, still in UK and has been for 18 years now, living on social security benefits. I am sure he wants to remain in Britain for a while to watch over the spiritual welfare of the Moslems who are still there. Now, I understand that it's not nice to kick people for living on social security benefits, but if the esteemed welfare father spends most of his days urging part of the population of his host country to take arms against the rest of the population, wouldn't you think that it might be nice to find him a real job? Aren't there any toilets in UK that need to be cleaned?
