Islamic Militant: Britain Will Have Muslim Majority

An Islamic militant leader who lived in Britain for nearly two decades
says the country will have a Muslim majority within 20 years.

Omar Bakri was born in Syria, and in 1986 settled in Britain, where he
founded several Islamic organizations. He left the country in 2005 amid
speculation that he would be arrested for treason and now lives in Lebanon.

“When [British authorities] saw that Islam was spreading in British
universities at an unprecedented rate, and that the non-Muslims — the
Hindus, the Christians and the Jews — were accepting Islam at an average
rate of 21 people a day, it began to endanger their society,” Bakri said
in a recent interview with Lebanon’s OTV.

“Within 20 years, British society will have a Muslim majority. Of
course, this cannot be allowed by this secular regime, which wants to
strip society of any religious values connected to Allah.”

Bakri, whose disciples have reportedly been linked to al-Qaida and who
called the 9/11 hijackers “magnificent,” also said in the interview
reported by the Middle East Media Research Institute, “The problem with
Britain is that its law is not the law sent down by Allah . . .

“Today, America represents the camp of Western terrorism, and there is
another camp of terrorism within Islam. But there are two types of
terrorism: blessed and deplorable . . .

“America’s violence is meant to take lives, and so its terrorism is
deplorable, whereas the violence the mujahedeen use for defense and
retaliation is meant to protect lives and defend honor. Their terrorism
is blessed. Not all terrorism is deplorable.”
