Feeling emboldened by the UK's inability and unwillingness to crack down on radical Islamic activity, Britain's largest Muslim organization, is beginning to sound like Al Muhajiroun, the group which praised the 9/11 hijackers as "the magnificent 19" and whose leader Omar Bakri Mohammed, fled to Lebanon last year in aftermath of the London bombings which involved adherents of his group. Britain's Telegraph Uk documented Bari's threat on September 9.
The Muslim Council of Britain is the UK equivalent of the American Islamist organization CAIR [Council on American Islamic Relations] and is regarded by the Blair government as a moderate civil rights organization. It's former leader Iqbal Sacranie, was knighted by the Queen in 2005, spoke at CAIR events in the United States. About Sacranie, Daniel Pipes has observed, "Among Sacranie's actions: calling for censorship of religious speech, trying to change the plot of the action series 24, boycotting Holocaust Remembrance ceremonies, denying the existence of Islamic terrorists, interpreting the Bush administration's true agenda as the "recolonization and the re-mapping of the Middle East," and accusing Israel of genocide" Last year Abdul Bari, took over the leadership of the MCB. It is no secret that the MCB is closely affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood and al-Qaeda. In the 1990's Yusef Islam [the former Cat Stevens] was the treasurer of the organization at the same time he was running his Muslim Aid charity which has been linked with raising money for Mujahideen fighters in Bosnia. |
