AN EXTREMIST London cleric is using live broadcasts on the internet to urge young British Muslims to join al-Qaeda and has condoned suicide terrorist attacks. Omar Bakri Mohammed, who has lived in the UK for 18 years on social security benefits, pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden and told his followers that they were in a state of war with Britain.
The Times monitored Mr Bakri Mohammeds nightly webcasts in which he declared that the covenant of security under which Muslims live peacefully in the UK had been violated by the Governments tough anti-terrorist legislation, The Syrian-born radical said: I believe the whole of Britain has become Dar ul-Harb (land of war). In such a state, he added, the kuffar (non-believer) has no sanctity for their own life or property.
In his broadcasts, conducted through an internet chatroom, Mr Bakri Mohammed stopped short of calling for terrorist attacks in Britain. But he said that Muslims should join the jihad wherever you are and told one woman that she was permitted to become a suicide bomber.
