Muslim Hecklers Target John Reid
"There is no nice way of saying this. These fanatics are looking to groom and brainwash children, including your children, for suicide bombings, grooming them to kill themselves in order to murder others," John Reid said in his first speech to Muslims.
John Reid, Britain's Home Secretary, was yesterday publicly harangued by members of a banned Islamic group.
As Mr. Reid addressed Muslim community leaders in London about the need to alert the authorities to signs of young Muslims being radicalised, he was repeatedly shouted at by two men associated with the al- Mujaharoun and al-Ghurabaa groups, which have been proscribed by the Home Office.
Mr. Reid was addressing about 30 British Muslims, when one man stood and yelled: "You are an enemy of Islam and Muslims, you are a tyrant." He was identified as Abu Izzadeen.
Mr Reid was listing past terrorist attacks around the world when Mr Izzadeen began shouting, asking Mr Reid how he could "dare" come to a Muslim area after so many had been arrested under the new terror legislation. "Shame on all of us for sitting down and listening to him," he said.
Referring to the increased police powers, he added:
"They are going to come in the morning to your house... they are going to kick your door down when you're in bed with your wife, then drag you from your own bed."
It later transpired that Mr. Izzadeen has been investigated over controversial comments about the London suicide bombings, after describing the attacks as "mujahideen activity" which would make people " wake up and smell the coffee", during a BBC Newsnight interview last year.
Reid was then interrupted by Anjem Choudary...
"Muslims do not need British values," he shouted. "We believe Islam is superior, we believe Islam will be implemented one day. It is very rich for you to come here and say we need to monitor our children when your government is murdering people in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Mr. Reid had been speaking about how the community and religious leaders could play a key role in the fight against terrorism. He said that "our fight is not with Muslims generally" but that there was a " struggle against extremism".
Extremism such as this?
Another protester who heckled Mr Reid was also escorted out, brandishing a poster which read "John Reid you will pay."
Telling Muslims what they need to hear. All I can say about Mr. Reid is: he's got big balls!**
