Ireland: Islamist Says Nation Is Terror Target
The "special friend" of Omar Bakri Mohammed, Anjem Choudray, has been making more controversy, this time in Ireland, according to yesterday's Washington Times. On Thursday, Choudhary was speaking at a debate in Dublin, in the historic Trinity College.
According to the Irish Independent from yesterday, Choudhary stated:
"If you are going to allow your country to be used to refuel a U.S. plane which is going on a bombing raid, what do you expect our reaction to be? This is not neutrality," he said.The US has been refuelling its planes at Shannon Airport. A few hours before Choudhary's threat, Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Ian Blair had warned that Ireland is at the same risk of terror attack as other large cities."A U.S. pilot is no different from the Irish person who allows the plane to land. They are collaborators," said Choudary, who is under police surveillance in Britain.
Another Muslim extremist, Umran Javed, told the debate that although he did not see an attack on Ireland as likely, retaliation would come "swiftly" if Ireland increased its support for the United States.
The Washington Times states that senior members of the Irish police (the Garda) are examining the contents of Choudhary's speech to see if they constitute incitement to hatred.
38 year old Choudhary, a lawyer, has been claiming that the family of Omar Bakri Mohammed will be legally challenging the UK government's decision to ban Bakri from the UK. Choudhary fled the UK because he feared being arrested under the Terrorism Act. Choudhary was deported from Lebanon last weekend. He has been filmed saying that the acts upon the twin towers of the World Trade Centre on 9/11 were "magnificent", and he recently taunted relatives and victims of London's 7/7 bombings.
