Hate cleric Omar Bakri calls for 'ban' on Christmas (the perfect day to launch a terror attack)

Hate preacher Omar Bakri, who is barred from Britain, is calling on Brits to boycott Christmas.

Using the internet to post a rant against the festive season, Bakri claims Christmas should be "completely forbidden".

In another chilling post the radical cleric said Christmas Day would be the perfect day to launch a terror attack on the UK.

He said: "To have Christmas tree, visit so-called Christmas Father - that is completely forbidden.

"Make sure you do not watch TV. Do not let them hear jingle bells. Do not send your children on Christmas trip."

Bakri's previous vile rants included his belief that the British public and the Government were responsible for the 7/7 London bombings.

In 2005 he was excluded by the then Home Secretary Charles Clarke from returning to Britain.

The move came after Bakri reportedly said he had left Britain for good and intended to set up home in the Lebanon.

He was duly arrested by Lebanese security forces.

Bakri, 46, was the London-based spiritual leader of the extremist group Al-Muhajiroun while claiming benefits from social services.

Although the group had supposedly disbanded, Prime Minister Tony Blair said that its successor organisation would be outlawed.

The Syrian-born preacher moved to the UK in 1985 after being deported from Saudi Arabia because of his membership of a banned group there.

In 1996 he created Al-Muhajiroun (The Eyes and Ears of the Muslims), which praised the 'Magnificent 19' hijackers after September 11.

In October 2004, he announced he was disbanding Al-Muhajiroun in the interests of "unity in the Muslim world".

But soon afterwards he led a demonstration outside the US Embassy in London in which protesters chanted the name of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and torched an American flag.

One of these days, Bakr is going to get a very unpleasant visit from a gentleman representing the British government like this...

Not the current lot, Gordon Brown is a wanker and a kisser of Islamic asses.

The UK and most of the rest of the world is committing PC suicide. The USA is right there with them.

Perhaps Ramadan “should be ‘completely forbidden’”.

Daily Kos:
Christianity just as Incompatable with Democracy as Islam.

http://stoptheaclu.com/archives/2007/12/23/daily-kos-christianity-just-as-incompatible-with-democracy-as-islam/

Same old tired and worn liberal argument that Christianity is equally, if not more violent than Islam. This author takes it a step further and makes the absurd claim that Christianity is just as incompatible with democracy as Islam. Thereby completely ignoring the fact that the vast majority of democratic nations are based on Judeo-Christian values, or at the very least, Christian majority countries…..

Omar Bakri, on the left, preaches while his friend and bunkmate Abu Nohandza looks on. Abu later said, "This guy can preach, I'm hooked on him."

[Calpernia]

Omar wants to ban the celebration of the birth of an Islamic prophet?

(Jesus is considered a prophet in Islam)

[junta]
