Sling your hook ... Sun's Duncan confronts Hamza
Thug ... minders with scarves masking their faces try to prevent us taking photos of their leader
Preacher is Ham bushed
By IAN HEPBURN, DUNCAN LARCOMBE and LUCY HAGANTHE SUN socked it to hook-handed Abu Hamza yesterday as the number of readers who want him out of Britain soared past 100,000.
Sun man Duncan Larcombe confronted the race-hate Muslim cleric with a hard-hitting poster telling him he was not wanted.
It spelled out the message in the starkest possible terms: 100,000 Say Get Out!
Last night, that number had grown to 124,077, an astonishing 98 per cent of all calls.
We are keeping open our You The Jury phone lines on whether or not readers think Hamza should be kicked out out the country.
Only 2,481 (two per cent) had voted No, he should stay.
Reporter Duncan ambushed Hamza as he arrived for his weekly rant outside Finsbury Park Mosque, North London.
Our man nipped between six minders, thrust our poster under his nose and told him: This is what our readers think. When are you going to go?
Hamza, 46, was clearly rattled and departed from his usual anti-Western tirade to sneer his contempt for The Sun and its readers.
He ranted: The people in this country, because of The Sun, have become very retarded.
They want only to look at nude pictures, go to football matches, have a few pints in the pub at the end of the day and go to sleep. They have become slaves.
What is 100,000 people compared to 60million and who believes The Sun anyway?
About 100 fanatical supporters knelt in prayer as menacing young men, masked by scarves, formed a protective shield around the cleric, trying to stop The Sun from taking pictures.
Benefits sponger Hamza had arrived in a Mercedes driven by a flunky.
After the two-hour service, the rabble-rouser was led away by his bodyguards.
A police inspector overseeing their operation said: We have a large presence here today because we are aware of The Sun campaign and felt there could be some friction. We cant object to The Sun showing posters to the cleric as it is a peaceful protest and we respect freedom of speech.
He accused The Sun of trying to brainwash people and starting a campaign against people like himself. He added: Let them go to Hell.
Dozens of uniformed police had closed the road and stood guard as Hamza who claims he lost both hands and an eye fighting in Afghanistan poured out his hatred.
As well as our phone vote, we are printing petitions above for readers to fill in and post to us, calling for Home Secretary David Blunkett to deport Hamza.
Muslims are supporting our Sling Your Hook campaign.
Taoufik Sabour said: As a Muslim Arab living in the UK, I feel sad about the fact that a person like Abu Hamza is allowed to speak for Muslims.
What Hamza says has nothing to do with Islam. And I challenge him to provide a single verse from Koran supporting what he has said.
Another who gave his name as Mr Verma wrote: People like him give British Asians like me a bad name. Many people cant differentiate between fanatical lunatics like him and Asian Brits, proud to be members of the British community.

Hook's insult
THIS time Abu Hamza has gone too far.
We dont care what lies he peddles about The Sun being insulted by a creep like him confirms were doing our job properly.
But when he turns his bile on to our army of loyal, decent readers then hes asking for trouble. Captain Hook reckons were all retarded.
What a terrible insult to people who want nothing more than to eject hate-filled spongers like him from their land.
Hook then attacks The Sun for trying to brainwash people.
Thats rich, coming from a vile zealot who spends his life trying to convince his followers to overthrow the very democratic system which allows him to spout his racist nonsense.
The people of Britain dont ask for much: They just want to be left in peace without fanatics like Hook stirring up trouble.
More than 124,000 of our readers have backed our campaign to have Hook deported.
There can be no doubt they are just the tip of a very large iceberg.
The day Hook is booted out, the air will smell very much sweeter.

He preaches in the UK that they should kill Brits and Americans and be suicide bombers. He's also getting British money since he's disabled!

I wish we had a paper with enough guts to tell the Islamofascists to get out. I hope the Brits do kick that scum out.

I saw a hilarious tagline here on Free Republic, but don't remember who uses it:
I've got my eye out for Abu Hamza.

I know. I love the Sun. They definitely have the guts.
The NY Post (also owned by Rupert Murdoch) doesn't have 1/2 the guts the Sun does.
However their pagesix.com feature has totally pissed off a lot of celebs like Alec Baldwin. I love page six.

They want only to look at nude pictures, go to football matches, have a few pints in the pub at the end of the day and go to sleep. They have become slaves. Here, my child, strap on this explosive vest to combat the enemy's football, nude women and beer...and when you die, there will be virgins and screaming fans in heaven for you...but (sadly)no beer...
To: Dutchgirl
Muslims believe that all they were denied here on earth will be waiting for them in paradise so, yes, there will be intoxicants for them while they nail the virgins. It will be like one big Super Bowl party for them.
To: I_Love_My_Husband
Good for them, I hope their campaign succeeds.
Why are all these losers blind, or one-eyed, or handless, or some combination?
I may splurge and call myself.
