This applies to many,Firebrand Islamic Cleric’s True Color Shows Through In Beirut - It’s Yellow By Bill West Omar Bakri Mohammed, who lived in the United Kingdom for some 18 years receiving social security benefits and who pledged allegiance to Osama bin Laden, has been banned from returning to Britain after a trip to Lebanon last year as a result of the British government determining his presence “was not conducive to the public good.” Bakri Mohammed’s fiery calls to jihad were arguably tantamount to incitement and support for terrorism, routinely calling upon young Muslims to join the ranks of jihadis to fight the infidels around the world. He has referred to the 9/11 terrorist hijackers as the “Magnificent 19.” Of course, Bakri Mohammed made those hate-filled, inflammatory and jihadist-inspiring speeches from the safety of his publicly funded refuge in Britain. Now that Israel has mounted a knock-down military campaign to knock-out the Iranian and Syrian supported terrorist organization Hezbollah within Lebanon, and that campaign includes targeting Hezbollah infrastructure throughout Lebanon, we might have expected the stalwart jihadi recruiter Bakri Mohammed, so close to the front lines with the Zionist enemy, to heed his own sacred words and take up arms with his fellow holy warriors to battle the invading infidels. Read More » But no, “Mighty” Bakri Mohammed instead is pleading with British authorities for a visa to return to the safety of the United Kingdom. British media have reported Bakri Mohammed is so desperate to leave Lebanon he has even begged officials of the Royal Navy who are evacuating British citizens from Beirut for a ride out of the country, only to be refused. So far, British government officials indicate Bakri Mohammed will not be welcomed back into their country and will have to fend for himself. Perhaps this display of true colors by a “jihadist warrior cleric” (obviously in words only) is indicative of how many of these like-minded radical Islamic holy men who preach hate and destruction really are. They spew their rhetorical bile from the safety of Western host nations encouraging others, mostly angry young Muslim men, to carry out violence against others yet they themselves prefer to hide within the safety and comfort provided by those host countries. Maybe the audiences of these charlatans should pay closer attention. counterterrorismblog.org
