Preacher calls for death to all Muslim soldiers
Steve Swinford and Abul Taher
ONE of Britain’s most notorious Islamist preachers has warned that any Muslim joining the army should expect to be beheaded.
Omar Bakri, who fled Britain weeks after the 7/7 London bombings, said on the internet that Muslim troops were “apostates”.
His video was posted shortly after the death of the first British Muslim to die on active service in the war on terror. The killing last year of Lance Corporal Jabron Hashmi, 24, is said to have inspired the alleged plot to kidnap, torture and behead a British Muslim soldier in Birmingham.
This weekend, Bakri confirmed that he endorsed the execution of British Muslim soldiers captured in Afghanistan and Iraq. “British Muslims who join the army and kill other Muslims are terrorists,” he said.
Bakri, who led the banned Al-Muhajiroun group, continues to direct his followers in Britain with messages through secure websites. On the video, he says: “I hope they capture British Muslims who are really in the army there in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are apostates.” He adds:
“We will strike your neck.”
