Hate cleric leads jihad cash appeal
March 16, 2009
Sunday Times - hate cleric Anjem Choudary
AN Islamic cleric, whose supporters led a hate-filled protest against British troops returning from Iraq, has urged his followers to give cash to front-line mujaheddin fighters
So says The Times. The article quotes:-
Imam Abdul Jalil Sajid, a leading Muslim cleric, said: “When people like Choudary say mujaheddin, they mean armed struggle against Britain and America.
Just what is happening to Britain?

Anjem Choudary also has an infamous history when in 2006 he called for ‘capital punishment’ for the Pope at a demonstration outside London’s Roman Catholic cathedral. The Pope, and with the Muslim world having purposely misrepresented the Popes remarks, had argued in a theological lecture pertaining to whether holy war could ever be justified by having quoted an obscure 14th century Christian Byzantine emperor, Manuel II Paleologos.
The irony of all Choudary’s pious calls for Islamist ideology is presented in the Daily Mail report http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1161909/Swilling-beer-smoking-dope-leering-porn-hate-preacher-Andy-Choudary.html
The British government has opted for dialogue with what they thought was mainstream moderate Muslim communities under the self-delusion that this would stem the rise of Islamic extremism only to realise that all these communities actually had extremist views while truly moderate Muslims have repeatedly begged the government not to engage with extremists in the community because it emboldens them and undermines true moderates
An example of this governmental folly is Dr Daud Abdullah, deputy director-general of the Muslim Council of Britain and a member of the Mosques and Imams National Advisory Board, the government-appointed body that trains supposedly ‘moderate’ imams and is designed to curtail the activities of extremist clerics. In January, Dr Abdullah briefed the home secretary, Jacqui Smith, and communities secretary Hazel Blears on the situation in Gaza and its likely impact on social cohesion in the UK. But as the Observer reported, it has now emerged that he was one of 90 Muslim leaders from around the world who signed a public declaration in support of Hamas and military action – and advocated attacks on the Royal Navy if it tried to stop arms for Hamas being smuggled into Gaza.
