Radical Islamic preachers give speeches at Green Lane Mosque
RADICAL Islamic preachers have given speeches at a Midland mosque.
The Middle Eastern clerics, who have been ideologically linked to Al Qaida, spoke to Muslims at Birmingham’s Green Lane Mosque.
Sheikh Faisal al-Jassim and Sheikh Abdul Aziz As-Sadhan, were invited to lecture crowds on Christmas Day and Boxing Day, despite preaching hatred against Jews and calling for holy war.
In an online recording, Kuwaiti al-Jassim refers to Jews as “the arch enemies of this great religion,” and asks listeners to “prepare all the weapons we can”.
As-Sadhan describes “the band of Jews” as having “amassed despicable qualities and vile characteristics” and claims they have “defaced mankind.”
But a spokesman for anti-extremist think tank The Quilliam Foundation said: “The vast majority of British Muslims will find this hatemongering despicable.
‘‘The principle of taking up arms to impose a single religious interpretation on others is at the core of Al Qaida’s ideology.”
