Here’s Muhammad Abdul Bari, Chairman of the East London Mosque:
As a nation, we should remain focused on the real and actual threat of violent extremism: the path towards violent extremism is a thorn that needs to be rooted out from our communities. But that is exactly what we are (and have been) doing in our many different organisations. It is something I have personally confronted during meetings up and down the country, when those from extremists groups have attempted to shout me down or disrupt myself and colleagues. The vast majority of Muslims are working with law enforcement authorities, and with other partners in civil society, to tackle this problem.
Hate preacher and supporter of terrorist recruiter Ali Timimi, Abu Abdissalam:
What is the definition of terrorism? What is the definition of extremism? There is no international agreed-upon definition of “terrorism” and this is because if it were defined it would only expose the mass terrorism and genocide of the US and UK governments. Therefore, the last people on earth to use this term should be the Muslims as we are the ones that this term was invented for to attack.
You see, police and security officers are waging war on Islam:
Anybody who works with the Muslim communities knows that these same anti-terrorism personnel that you addressed are abusing our religion and brutalising our youth. Look how they assaulted people like Babar Ahmad, the Forest Gate brothers, among others. Therefore, the perception is that this is not a war against terrorism but a war against Islam itself. We can never work with people who are at war with Islam.
Want to hear more filth from Abu Abdissalam?
He is appearing at Abdul Bari’s East London Mosque/London Muslim Centre next week, where he is the guest of the Queen Mary ISOC.
