Jihadists still openly preaching death and ruin to Britain

Two years after the London bombings, radical Muslim clerics freely preach hate against non-Muslims and the takeover of Britain by sharia law. These people have not been arrested for violating Britain’s Racial and Religious Hatred Act, which makes it an offense to stir up racial or religious hatred. One of the preachers is Abdul Latif, whose sermons at a Sutton mosque the Mail monitored over a period of a month. The Mail reports:

Mr Latif has called Tony Blair a “murderer”; he says that every British soldier in Iraq should be killed and he proclaims that the London bombings in July 2005 (an atrocity in which 57 innocents died) was orchestrated by the Government.

“We don’t have Muslim terrorists … they do not exist. But anything that they (the Government) claim is Muslim terror, they do it themselves,” Mr Latif informed his devoted followers one week.

A week later, he said: “The British soldiers are the soldiers of Satan, the soldiers of evil, of evilness. And I pray to Allah openly and in English that they will not return back except when they are dead—all of them.”

During these religious speeches, monitored by the Mail over a period of a month, he also condemned the Pope as a loud-mouthed drunk and said President Bush’s Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice, was an unclean fornicator.

Non-Muslims in Britain, declared Mr Latif, are dirty, unclean people who never wash their hands and become ill because of their own sexual promiscuity. He went on to denounce British democracy as “demon-ocracy” and praised the shariah laws of Islam under which thieves have their hands cut off and adulterous women are stoned to death in public.

In another inflammatory outburst, made directly to “youngsters” at the prayer meeting, Mr Latif said that the British and Americans were deliberately trying to destroy the reputation of Islam and Muslims….

Would you say that sounds like the stirring up of religious or racial hatred? Yet Latif has not had any visits from the police, while Nick Griffin was tried for merely saying that Islam is “wicked” faith. After Griffin was acquitted, several MP’s urged that the religious and racial hatred law be strengthened so that Griffin could be sent to jail for saying that Islam is a “wicked” faith. Yet Latif is still untouched.

Here is more from the article:

Yet on Monday, another investigation into Britain’s mosques, by Channel 4’s respected Dispatches programme, will reveal worrying evidence of just how rife Islamic extremism is among Muslim preachers.

The undercover TV inquiry, conducted over ten months, reveals some religious clerics urging their congregations to start preparing for jihad (holy war) against infidels or non-Muslims. Another is caught on camera telling families to hit their daughters for not covering their heads with the veil or hijab.

One imam from a Derby mosque, called Dr Ijaz Mian, was filmed calling for the creation of an Islamic “state within a state” in Britain before the country is taken over by Muslims.

Addressing a group of youths, he said: “King. Queen. House of Commons … if you accept it, you are part of it. If you don’t accept it, you have to dismantle it. So you being a Muslim, you have to fix a target. There will be no House of Commons … Muslims just grow in strength … then take over.”

The programme paints an alarming picture of how preachers, even at what are regarded as the most moderate mosques, urge their followers to reject Britain’s legal system in favour of shariah law and its radical rulebook.

The investigators spent four months filming undercover at one mosque, Green Lane in Birmingham, which caters for thousands of worshippers.

The main preacher is Abu Usamah, an American convert to Islam, who studied at Medinah University in Saudi Arabia, before coming to Britain. He is seen telling worshippers not to believe that Islamic terrorists are operating in Britain, as all non-Muslims are liars.

In another sequence, he is heard saying that Christians and Jews are “kuffaars” (non-believers) and the enemies of Islam. “No one loves the kuffaar, not a single person loves the kuffaar,” he rants. “We hate the kuffaar!” Then he adds, triumphantly: “Allah has not given those people who are kuffaar a way over the believer. They shouldn’t be in authority over us. Muslims shouldn’t be satisfied with anything other than a total Islamic state.

“I encourage all of you to begin to cultivate ourselves for the time that is fast approaching—where the tables are going to turn and the Muslims are going to be in the position of being uppermost in strength. And when that happens, people won’t get killed—unjustly,” he promises.

This important article shows why we must consider removal of certain UK Muslim preachers immediately. When will the UK populace wake up I ask for the millionth time? Tomorrow night is the Dispatches TV programme which investigates the ongoing anti-Western anti-Judaic-Christian propoganda being preached in many UK mosques by various Muslim imams. TV programme: Monday, Jan. 15, 8 to 9 p.m. British time, Channel 4. Repeated very early Saturday morning 3:30-4:20 a.m. Essential viewing.

LA replies:

I spoke of enforcing the racial hatred law rather than of just removing these people to make the point that even the laws Britain has it doesn’t enforce, against Muslims. It passes belief that the Brit authorities get so “stirred up” by Nick Griffin saying to a small group in a closed meeting that Islam is a wicked faith, but the same authorities do nothing about these preachers openly invoking the most disgusting hatred against all non-Muslims and calling for the destruction of Britain.
