Radical Muslim Cleric to Return to Britain

Story


LONDON - A fundamentalist Muslim cleric facing possible treason charges said Tuesday that he left Britain over the weekend and was in Lebanon but planned to return within weeks unless the government says he is unwelcome.


You're facing treason charges. I think you can take it as gospel that you're unwelcome.


He told British Broadcasting Corp. radio he had left Britain on Saturday to avoid being used by the government to pressure British Muslims with new measures. Bakri, who has lived in Britain for 20 years, said he traveled to Lebanon and was staying with his mother.


Sheesh ! Just because a few people got killed by bombs and you praised them ! And now the british bobbies want you to say blowing people up is a bad thing and you don't want to play ball ? Shocking !


But he insisted he would not inform British police if he knew Muslims were planning an attack.

"Islam forbids me to report any Muslim ... to the British police," Bakri said. "My job (is) to stop him, to hold him with my Muslim brothers even if it costs me my life."


we know. Because all non muslims are second class citizens and your job is to make their life hard until they convert.

Or they decide to make your life hard and boot you out or throw you in prison for being a pain. One way or the other ...

British-based cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, who condemned the bombings but said he would not inform police if he knew other attacks were planned, was detained by Lebanese authorities on Thursday.

Lebanese security officials gave no reason why Bakri, who left Britain on Saturday, had been held.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- Britain said Friday it has barred cleric Omar Bakri from returning to the country from Lebanon, where he was released by police after being detained for 24 hours.

Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammad was
released without conditions at about 2:45 p.m. (7:45 a.m. ET), a high-ranking security source in Beirut told CNN.

The source said an investigation had turned up nothing against Bakri, who had faced a new storm in Britain after saying the British government was partly to blame for the July 7 terrorist attacks in London.
