Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad is a pain in the arse. He was a pain in Syria, his country of birth (he was part of a failed coup that got him deported), he was a pain in Saudi Arabia (they revoked his passport) and now he is a pain in Britain (where he acts as a judge in the Islamic court, seeks British nationality but reviles our laws).
He claims to live his life according to Shari’a law, God’s law. The laws of “men”, including things like democracy and freedom of speech, are vile, the creation of Satan, and should be stamped out.
All things, he believes, come from Allah.
His council house and the handouts he has received courtesy of British taxpayers since his arrival in 1985 are, in his own estimation, gifts from Allah so he owes our overstretched Social Security system no thanks whatsoever. No doubt, should common sense prevail and he is given notice to quit Britain, he will use those vile Satanic laws, most noticeably the one regarding human rights, to overturn any such decision. If Allah does indeed provide, then the Sheikh won’t have to compromise his radical fundamentalist beliefs and hide behind the Laws of Satan he considers anathema to his beliefs. He can simply sod off and let Allah provide somewhere else.

Note: Radical Islamic fundamentalists like Sheikh Omar claim to be strict adherents to Shari’a law, especially as it is interpreted by Taliban clerics. The main problem with that statement is the word “interpreted”. Under this regime women are stoned to death for adultery. In the Qur’an, the punishment (men included) is not death but the administration of so many lashes. Shari’a law does not demand the mass murder of infidels nor their enforced conversion to Islam. So, is the Sheik’s version of Shari’a the Word of God - or the Law of religious and gender-specific hatred and intolerance? Like all fundamentalists (of any stripe), the Sheikh is a religious bigot and a hypocrite. He hates the West yet has applied for a British passport which, if granted, is subject to him swearing allegiance to our sovereign and our laws. So that also makes him a liar and a fraud. He gives ordinary, hardworking Muslims living in Britain a bad name. He is hiding behind laws he claims he doesn’t believe in so isn’t it about time someone told him to piss off?
