So who is Sheikh Omar Bakri, anyway? He has been called a “firebrand cleric” (is there a cleric who isn’t these days, I wonder), and who has a penchant for pissing off moderate British Muslims, apparently.
The guy heads an organisation called the Al-Muhajirun (huge red flag there), and doesn’t have much good to say about the West, so it would seem.
Which makes it odd that he chose to live in London, don’t you think?
I mean, correct me if I am wrong here, but London, as every Malaysian schoolkid knows, is the capital of the United Kingdom. This London, which happens to be in Europe, is nowhere near the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, or the Islamic Republic of Iran, or the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. It is about 1,500 kilometres on the wrong side of Makkah. (more…)
