Muslim fury at sex toy The Sun ^ \| Feb 9 06 \| GUY PATRICK thesun.co.uk FURIOUS Muslims have blasted adult shop Ann Summers for selling a blow-up male doll called MUSTAFA SHAG. They complained that the novelty sex toy insults the Prophet Muhammad — who also has the title al-Mustafa. The High Street chain’s jokey £15 mustachioed doll has a 7in manhood and is targeted at hen parties. But the Muslim Association — based at Manchester’s Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre — branded him “obnoxious”. Yesterday a spokesman said: “This is the name of our Prophet and it’s very upsetting. This thing should be banned.” In a letter to the store, the Association said: “You have no idea how much hurt, anguish and disgust this obnoxious phrase has caused to Muslims. We are asking you to have our Most Revered Prophet’s name ‘Mustafa’ and the afflicted word ‘shag’ removed.” Last night Ann Summers said: “If anyone has a better name, please let us know. We’ll happily change it.” The row follows global furore over cartoons which depicted Muhammad as a terrorist.

WMD Gear Found In British Mosque A radical British imam was stockpiling protection gear for a weapons of mass destruction attack in a notorious North London mosque, British police revealed on Wednesday. London authorities told Reuters that the discovery of the WMD-gear actually happened in 2003, but could not be disclosed until Tuesday, after Abu Hamza al Masri was convicted of 11 charges related to terrorism - including soliciting murder and possessing a terrorist training manual. Hamza preached jihad at the notorious Finsbury Park mosque, where convicted shoe bomber Richard Reid and alleged 20th 9/11 hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui both worshipped. According to Reuters, 150 police staged a dramatic raid on Hamza's mosque in Jan. 2003. Once inside, they discovered gas masks, chemical, biological and nuclear protective suits, blank passports, hunting knives, and blank-firing weapons, the news agency said. "The suspicion of the anti-terrorist branch was that this was probably material used in training camps in the UK," a London police source told Reuters. "We've never been able to pinpoint their locations, who was running them or what sort of activities that were going on, but that is the conclusion," he added.
