The crazy Bakri and band of merry men seem very quiet since 7/7. One wonders why the big mouth of Britain went silent so quickly?

The man, who told everyone else to go and fight, seemed to happier sitting on his fat backside in Britain. So where is he and why did his big mouth go so very quiet?

I never really trusted Bakri, he seemed to love the Media too much for a man who wanted to take part in Jihad or spreading it? He seemed to aid Israel and MI5 more then any Jihad around the world.

Every time I woke up he or his goons were in the media. He seemed to have so much space dedicated to him that page three girls were getting jealous.

The more he opened his big mouth, the more our sisters and mothers were beaten up on the streets. The more the Zionist machine would attack Muslims as extremists. He was paid off by someone I believe, and if he wasn’t he should have been, because he was helping them more then any million dollar add campaign could do.

Now they are using clips of him to demand new legislation against us. So one wonders should we have legislation that bangs up people like him or deports them? If we had it five years ago, maybe they would have less chance to demand we be shackled with ever-tighter laws.

Maybe thats why he was put there?

At first I was against it, now after seeing this maniac muppet on television still making our lives a living hell I’m not so sure?

[b]SO DO YOU AGREE WITH THE ABOVE? IS HE AN EXTREMIST, RADICAL AND FANATIC PREACHER? DOES HE INCITE HATRED? DOES HE MAKE LIFE HELL IN UK FOR BRITISH MUSLIMS? SHOULD HE BE KICKED OUT OF UK? OR IS HE MISUNDERSTOOD? IS HE A GOOD PERSON? IS HE A GOOD SCHOLAR? IS HE RIGHT TO BE OUTSPOKEN?[/b]

HAVE YOUR SAY!

[b]No proof bombers Muslims - Bakri [/b]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4702107.stm
(you can also watch his interview from this link aswell)
Islamic cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed does not believe the London bombers were Muslims, he has told BBC News.
Omar Bakri Mohammed says he would never co-operate with police

The UK-based Syrian-born preacher said there was no evidence four young Muslim men filmed at a station prior to the attacks were responsible for the bombs.

He condemned "any killing of innocent people here and abroad" but said he would never co-operate with police.

The cleric is facing demands for his deportation after making comments partly blaming Britain for the bombs.

Tabloids

In an interview with BBC News 24, he said the government, the public and the Muslim community were all to blame for not doing enough to prevent the 7 July attacks, in which 56 people died including the four bombing suspects.

And he blamed the tabloid press for "distorting" his views and those of other clerics, including Sheikh Abu Hamza, currently on trial for allegedly soliciting people to murder non-Muslims and inciting racial hatred.

But in another interview, with BBC1's 10 o'clock News, he said there was "no way" he would condemn Osama bin Laden.

He said: "Why I condemn Osama bin Laden for? I condemn Tony Blair, I condemn George Bush. I would never condemn Osama bin Laden or any Muslims."

And he blamed the UK government's "evil foreign policy and the war on terror" for pushing Muslims in "the wrong direction".

On Radio 4's Today programme, Omar Bakri Mohammed said Britons should use all political means "to make the British government realise that they create enemy, whether abroad or at home because of their own invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan".

But said he believed Islam forbade Muslims to fight the people they lived side by side with.

"To live among them, and sell with them and deal with them and trade with them and then fight them, that is completely not Islamic."

Word of God

The London-based preacher told BBC News 24 radical Muslims were "part of the solution" not part of the problem, because they were respected by Muslim youths.

By imposing restrictions on radical clerics, the government had reduced their ability to "hold back" young Muslims angry at events in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Bosnia, the Palestinian territories and Kashmir, he said.

He distanced himself from "moderate" Muslims, who he said "cannot hold anyone back".

He added that he would not co-operate with the British police, even to alert them if he knew another terror attack was imminent.

"I believe co-operation with the British police would never ever prevent any action like this.

"The youth will leave us. The youth will see us, at that time, the voice, the eyes and the ears of the British government.

"The way to earn the heart of the British youth is by the divine text, to say God say it and ... Mohammed say it, 'Do not attack the people you live among.' Not to tell them, 'Tony Blair say it, the law say it, don't do so.'"

The cleric, who has lived in Britain for 20 years, indicated he would not resist if he were to be deported, saying: "If God destined for me to be deported, or to be imprisoned, nobody can save me."
