A MUSLIM SOCIAL activist and cleric has said that the terrorist attacks that occurred last Friday in Tunisia, France, and Kuwait are a product of Western people encroaching on the Muslim world.
Anjem Choudary, a high-profile British cleric and former chairman of the Society of Muslim Lawyers, said that: “being naked on a beach, alcohol, drugs, these are things that are rejected by all Muslims” in relation to the attack in Tunisia that left 38 people dead, including three Irish citizens.
Choudary was speaking to Adrian Kennedy on 98FM’s Dublin Talks radio show earlier today.
“The real question to ask is why is there such instability in North Africa. It is not so much a question of blame. We need to look more deeply into this,” Choudary said.
The presence of regimes in these countries, the bombing and drone attacks of the British and Americans in places like Syria and Iraq – there are innocent people being killed in these areas and there is I think a real thirst for revenge.
These people are not drawing distinction between innocents and others – it is a very volatile situation.
When asked if he thought Western tourists should forego the likes of Tunisia and leave such countries to their own devices Choudary replied “at the moment I would say that is absolutely the case, yes”.
ISIS are not happy with these tourist resorts being westernised. It has definitely been a factor before with the likes of the Bali bombings, although not every Muslim will attack people.
Being naked on a beach, drinking alcohol, drugs – these things are all rejected by all Muslims.

Choudary would not specifically condemn last Friday’s attacks, nor say that he condoned them.
What is taking place in these countries, the Western influence, is anathema to what Islam stands for. Until that’s dealt with nothing will change.
These things happen in war. I cannot simply pat you on the back and say off you go to Tunisia. It is not a safe place to go.
When questioned on the reliance of Tunisia and other countries on Western tourism to survive Choudary replied that the only reason such countries rely on such tourism is “they cannot stand on their feet due to Western interests”.
Let me ask you – if drones were constantly bombing Dublin, do you think the Irish would carry on as if nothing were different?
English-born Choudary (47) has been outspoken on Western relations with Muslim countries for many years, although his support from within the mainstream Muslim community has tended to be quite limited.
He has previously stated that his loyalty is to Islam first before any specific country, and is an advocate of Sharia law being introduced to the UK in its entirety.

So westerners shouldn’t go to Tunisia and flout Muslim laws, but Sharia law should be introduced in the UK in its entirety? Where is the parity of esteem in that argument?
Well fu@k off back to where you came from so.. I don’t particularly like looking at women dressed in curtains and been treated as second class citizens but you wouldn’t see me or any other sane person take an ak47 and murder 38 people..
He comes from Welling in England so he can’t be thrown out.
He must never have been in Morocco if he thinks Muslim’s do not take drugs.
Also, you see them sitting outside coffee and tea shops with the pots full of red wine and not a stew of coffee.
thejournal did a piece just yesterday I think on media responsibility when reporting around isis etc. This is the kind of area where it should be applied, this guy is a thug of the highest order and deserves no platform.
Also, many Muslims in Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt have said the exact same thing to me with big smiles.
Men and boys are for sex, woman are for babies.
Who does that guy think he is fooling?
being naked on beaches drinking drugs these are all rejected by Muslims…. sharia law and treating women like working animals, normal society rejects this so why does he not go to a country where they share his views oh probably because countries like that are 3rd world and he would have to give up the western luxurious he us used to. I try not to tar all Muslims with the same brush but very rarely see their leaders speak out when stuff like this happens. getting a little sick of idiots like him.
Or around Bahrain of a Thursday-Friday night…blasphemous in the extreme…
The irony of this twit going on about western people “encroaching on the muslim world” whilst he moves to the UK, claims social welfare and tries to impose Sharia must be completely lost on him. Time to deport him to somewhere he might appreciate more.
Avina. How do you deport an English born, UK citizen out of their country of birth?
He can be thrown under a bus .
@ seamus banna this is exactly it! very soon here in ireland we will be dealing with second generation muslims , this is where the real trouble starts! but have our government learned about or studied places like bolton/ birmingham….oh no! they are looking at the plans for a second mosque!!!
Ann if people are treated with respect they will return it in my experience. If people are treated oppressively they will lash out as Irish Catholics did during the Penal Laws. Treating a muslim as a potential terrorist makes us no better then the Brits that treated the Irish in the UK as PIRA terrorists. It is peoples complete ignorance of Islam that drives fear and loathing and then onto conflict. Sure it might have it’s fanatics but so too does Christianity. Go to the Bible belt in the US and tell me the difference between some of those so called men of God and the takfiri Iman’s of Wahhabism.
Never been to the liquor stores in the Canaries either. Quite happy profitably selling alcohol and smokes to the holiday makers
the canaries are Spanish
“Go to the Bible belt in the US and tell me the difference between some of those so called men of God and the takfiri Iman’s of Wahhabism.”
Well for starters the bible bashing nutters don’t decapitate people and nail their heads to fences, or start spraying AK47 bullets at innocent people in the name of their religion.
People who follow any religoin are idiots imo, but people who follow a religoin that was stared by a peadophile are worng uns !
And saying all ‘Brits’ treat the Irish as terrorists is exactly the same as what Choudry is saying about Muslims and the West. Smells like hypocrisy…
Its time to let the past go and stop equating present day Britain and British people with the Penal laws and the decisions of the Thatcher Government. Peace is peace and it will be lost if we don’t keep seeking it out, whichever country or religion is involved.
spot on carina,
They have an atrocious problem with drugs in Iran, I believe.
@ seamus banna, while i am a huge advocate of looking at history to learn etc , your example does not compare with 21st century living! in most parts of the world the muslim community is treated with respect and mostly out of fear!! as far as ignorance of islam……many people have no desire to know anything about islam….its not what they want to be part of or follow , so why should they have any knowledge of it and to be honest over most recent years what we all have learnt, seen or witnessed has been death, beheadings, torture, killing innocents, killing innocent holiday makers and the abuse of females. i agree that of course christianiity has many many flaws and a history that is shameful but 21st christianity is not beheading , killing etc innocent people!
Canaries may be Spanish, but the off-licence owners don’t seem to be. Same seems to be true for Salut, Barcelona, and a good swathe of the Algarve, and also Metropolitan London, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Munich, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Brussels, Bruges, Paris, and just about every city or town I’ve ever been to outside of Ireland. I think Carina’s point was that Muslims have no issues with alcohol, smokes, and top-shelf magazines, as long as it’s cash in the till…
religious principles are bad for business, and Muslims like to turn a profit just like everyone else’s. it seems you must be on their side of the fence breaking the rules for them to turn a blind eye.
@Tony Canning. Nonsense! He was schooled by the Muslim Brotherhood whose party in Tunisia won over 27% of the popular vote in the last election. Most definitely no lone nutjob/thug.
Sousa is also a stronghold of the Takfiri-Salafists fendamentalists who are the MB’s and ISIS religious inspiration.
Over 27%. That’s a lot of people who believe in “Kill them wherever you find them!”
The Quran:
Quran (2:191-193) – “And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah [disbelief or unrest] is worse than killing…
but if they desist, then lo! Allah is forgiving and merciful. And fight them until there is no more Fitnah [disbelief and worshipping of others along with Allah] and worship is for Allah alone. But if they cease, let there be no transgression except against Az-Zalimun (the polytheists, and wrong-doers, etc.)
Then all the Pakistan natives and others should clear off back to their homelands. This cleric is exactly the people that should be locked in a black hole.
Well Ann I hate to tell you but there are already two mosque in Dublin and has been for many years so maybe get the facts before making a comment , clearly you are not up to speed on the muslim community in Ireland
Well said Seamus , myself I feel it has to do more with White supremacy and ignorance
Sorry again Ann , “what we all have learned and seen” on who’s behalf are you speaking on , it really does show your ignorance when you make a comment on something you then say you don’t want to know about. You are only feeding back what you are feed it seems and badly I may add and please try and refrain from using the word WE when you are giving your personal opinion .
Seamus, I’m sure he is being watched by Australia also. He is a nasty piece of work. Typical uneducated Muslim, even if he is a lawyer, who blames everyone else for their problems.
@ rosemarie slamon for your information i am talking about the plans to build a new mosque in dublin…well aware of the mosques in dublin and especially in clonskeigh! looks like rosmarie your the one that needs to check!!!!
@ rosemarie ” white supremacy and ignorance”, are you joking!!!
@ rosemarie you really need to read comments more carefully, i never said i was speaking on anyones behalf!!??? however, since all news is distributed through all forms of media WE can all read and hear it! the sad thing is your are trying miserably to defend the actions of this vile organisation. i will end with this just wonderful to see and hear the stories of the brave people that tried to help on that beach…it truely shows that there are more good people in the world than the evil you are trying to defend.
rosemarie just to point out ” myself i feel” i would rethink that , seeing you can point out how ” badly” i phrase my comments!!
Rosemarie while Ann may not be accurate on all her facts and her and her use of the word WE seems to bother you more than terrorism she is absolutely right about places like Bolton which are not communities but ghettos. Muslims don’t integrate into other cultures or societies they move in and before long the swamp an area. You either join them or you piss off. I don’t know how many bloody mosques are in Ireland but I do know WE need to be very careful about allowing anymore.
Well, if westerners aren’t welcome in Muslim countries, why should Muslims be welcome in western countries, like, say, Britain, where you’re based???
They’re not welcome here
Who said westerners are not welcome in Muslim countries?
Speak for yourself Fionn. My muslim friends who abhor terrorism as much as you or I, are very welcome here and in my home. Your comment is closed minded and prejudiced and only will breed more extremism.
Westerners never try to change laws in Islamic countries,they are the visitors.England is England.Abide to their own rules.
Ross, maybe your Muslim friends should make more of a stance and denounce the radical views of their fellow Muslims. And when last did the Muslim community out one of their members as a terrorist?
The Muslim community?!! 1.6 billion people is a community with a shared voice? How ridiculous. When was the last time the Christian ‘community’ denounced the radical views of the Westboro baptist church? You talk of Muslims as if they were all the same and all sharing the same views. As you will see from reading other comments here, there are Muslims who drink, do drugs, hate the burka, despise sharia law and abhor terrorism and then there are Muslims who are the exact opposite and kill people for their religious beliefs. You can’t lump all 1.6 billion Muslims into the same box, as much as you’d like to.
Yes I agree that mosques and immams should be more vocal in denouncing these atrocities but it’s in the nature of religious institutions to keep shtum as long as they can on matters that might make them look bad or lose followers – just think on the vatican’s silence on so many atrocities..
http://www.channel4.com/news/hero-of-sousse-mayel-moncef-tried-to-stop-tunisia-attack This builder dropped tiles on the head of the Tunisia attacker shouting “you terrorist, you dog”.
He told Jonathan Miller “all I did was my duty, the duty of any Muslim”
Well said Ross… I have spent the last 8 years traveling between Muslim countries.. Always feel very welcome and also I have Muslim friends who all strongly disagree with ISIS and their beliefs. We should not tar all Muslims with the same brush. ISIS are radicals who not only target the West but target their own. Take the bombing of the Mosque in Kuwait as a perfect example.
Fantastically put Ross
@ ross stewart….i wonder how far your ” friendship” would go if they had to prove their loyalty to their muslim brotherhood!
But why would they lose followers for condemning these atrocities? Unless their followers agree with the extremists.They shouldn’t give a shit if it makes them look bad. Who are they going to look bad to?They I either agree with the extremists ar they don’t. 3 irish people lost their lives and not on Islamic religious leader that I have heard has apologised or condemned.
Yeah, it’s been very quiet from Clonskeagh. Yet they expect us to support ISIS’s friends in the Muslim Brotherhood and their “Irish” member (Ibrahim Halawi) currently incarcerated in Egypt.
Jason, the government of Tunisia denounced the attacks, the muslim community council leader in Ireland denounced the attacks. Locals in Sousse staged a massive March and vigil the night of the attack in Sousse. These were all widely reported over the past few days.
Do you have a link for the Irish one, because I haven’t seen anything from Irish Muslim leaders. I have a few Muslim friends and they were all abhorrent. But I still haven’t seen anything from their leaders here. And, considering they are in Ireland, after 3 Irish people died in an attack perpetrated supposedly in the name of Islam, you’d expect a much more open and definitive condemnation.
The government in Tunisia are liberal , if the Muslim community council leader in ireland denounced the attacks he must have done it under his breath because I certainly did not hear it. What sickened me most is when the reporters went to the terrorists home town and the locals said they couldn’t believe that he had done it. Two women even said they would pray for his soul, but not one condemned or even mentioned the victims of his actions.
that is such a ridiculous comment..
@Ross, not really a good answer, more like a prepared speech… You never answered the question
No the presence of extremist nutcases is causing instability!
Extremist nut-cases is right, but why do they take such actions? “An encroachment on the Muslim world” is being kind in fairness to him. How about the consistent bombing of innocents over the last 20 years? When American drones kill women and children do any of you consider that extreme? How many millions have been murdered in the Middle East and North Africa in even the last 20 years? Is that not extreme? I thought such invasions and bombings would only foster this type of extremism in return. But we only get upset when they kill us. The media goes berserk, builds up the hatred inside us and provokes an us vs them mentality.If the white western man’s drones are bombing you on one hand and holidaying in your back yard on the other, you have to admit, you would be extremely naive to think that there would not be prejudice or violent tendencies towards you in Islamic nations. I’m not condoning their actions, but stop passively and apathetically condoning the war crimes of the western world. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is he doing living in England?Go to where you worship,and stop living of English taxpayers
Shame on 98FM given this low life airtime!
He should be sent off on the next camel train out of there
He’s English that’s why he is living in England. Not all people who are born in England are white.
This guy is the Willie Frazer of Islam. His group al muhajiroun are some bunch of lunatics who want Islam to take over the UK with Sharia Law taking over from common law. The problem with these nutjobs is that the people who oppose them are as clueless as they are. By that I mean that there is a knee jerk reaction to that is out of all proportion to the actions of these radical muslim groups which only serves to further inflame tensions. If people were more educated about them rather than getting there information from the Daily Mail then there might be a better understanding of how to defeat them.
Look at this article for instance. The amount of people who automatically assumed that just because this nutjob is a muslim and brown must mean that he was born abroad. He was born in Welling which is about 12 miles from Buckingham Palace so there is no point in telling him to go home assuming that he is going to end up in some Arab country! If the Brits could get rid of him they would in a heartbeat.
It is better off to treat people like him for what they are and that is a as clown that should also be treated with caution because he is charismatic and his words do incite some people. He doesn’t have to convert all Muslims to his cause so as to achieve his aims, just enough to commit the sort of attacks that he refuses to condemn. If he is given media time then it should be so that he message is taken apart and shown to be one at odds with true Islam.
You have to ask why he is given media time…..all media thrives on controversy so that people are emotionally engaged enough to watch the adverts for cars, cosmetics and constipation – if you did not hate this clown or any number of others like him, you would not be helping the economy by being open to ads inducing you to buy more crap and keep the television station in business…simple as, and if the TV station did not stay in business we would not have a “free” (LOL) press. So get with the program !
And the presence of Muslims in Christian countries? – oh yeah, that’s just racist.
Is it?
Visitors
Dangerous hate filled and deluded but also given airtime.
Exactly. I don’t know why this fool is so well known. He doesn’t represent me as a Muslim at all. In fact, he’s a huge embarrassment. He’s kicked out of Lebanon for being so extreme so I haven’t a clue why he’s not kicked out of the UK yet.
He’s English. He can’t be.
Capitalist…perhaps all, media thrives on controversy so that people are emotionally engaged enough to watch the adverts for cars, cosmetics and constipation – if you did not hate this clown or any number of others like him, you would not be helping the economy by being open to ads inducing you to buy more crap and keep the television station in business…simple as, and if the TV station did not stay in business we would not have a “free” (LOL) press. So get with the program !
Why do the media continue to print this clown’s crap? They’re just as responsible as him for the results of his hate filled rants.
So he can be seen for what he is. Bitter. Twisted. Full of ,,,,,,,, fill in the blanks yourself
So people can actually see that there are Muslims out there that approve of ISIS and other Islamic terrorists, instead of liberals saying that its only 0.01% of muslims which is just not true at all.
There are. In the same way as people commenting on this story support the westboro baptist church. They’re still a fringe minority.
The muslims effectively supporting ISIS with real big money funding are very rich Salafist and Wahhabi arabs in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The Wahabbi muslims are about 200 years in existence. One of their first acts was to blow up the prophet Mohammed’s tomb in 1804. The states that support these people are also allegedly allies of the west yet the west tolerates citizens of these countries, in effect, financing private wars against the west. It just shows both the power of big money and the limits of democracy when our own governments are unwilling to tackle the super rich in these countries…..hey, what am I saying, when has any western government being willing to tackle the super rich anywhere…..don’t we bail out their private banks for them all over the kip…
Would you call 27% a fringe minority? 27% of British Muslims sympathized with the killings of the Charlie hebdo staff. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/religion/11433776/Quarter-of-British-Muslims-sympathise-with-Charlie-Hebdo-terrorists.html
The attacker in Kuwait was a Saudi. AQAP in Yemen are being allowed to flourish so as to get the Shiite militias out of Yemen. “Ghost” planes accidentally/deliberately dropped arms and supplies into Iraq last year to support ISIS. The aircraft were ID’d by people in the ground as C-130 Hercules aircraft of which the Saudis have 30. To be fair it could have been the UAE as well but the point is how did these planes go into a part of the world that is being watched day and night by a host of means and intel agencies and no-one knows where the planes came from or went?
The Saudis are laughing at the West every single day. We buy their oil, pay for their sports cars and hookers and in return they blow us up.
Myles you forgot to mention
“At the same time, the polling shows a high degree of loyalty to Britain, with 95 per cent saying they feel loyal, and 93 per cent saying British laws should always be obeyed.”
“However, some 20 per cent say Western society is incompatible with Islam, 46 per cent say British is becoming less tolerant of Muslims and prejudice against Islam makes it “very difficult” being Muslim in Britain. Of those polled, 35 per cent said they did not feel British people trust Muslims.”
i’d say the last few points might have something to do with people cherry picking data from polls.
I’d say it has more to do with Choudary and his ilk.
I’m ok with westerners going to muslim countries and being expected to observe their laws, fair enough. But we should ask the same of “easterners” coming here. I would gladly accept anyone into ireland who will integrate, observe our laws (have their religious laws in private kept to themselves), and contribute to society. I am sure this is what most migrants, asylum seekers etc would want. The extremist minority are ruining it for everyone!
Ah so long as they force their kids to marry and use sharia law in our country its OK so long as you don’t see it. Wrong just wrong. Their laws stop at our borders end of story.
fuve….”As so long as they force their kids to marry…….Their laws stop at our borders end of story.”
Well Irish catholic Travellers use psychological and cultural pressure to arrange marriages for 16 year olds. Irish priests marry them – is this equally wrong? Why aren’t you making the same demands on them and the Irish and British governments??
Muslims are causing havoc everywhere.. Keep your stupid views to yourself and we’ll draw Allah if we want!!
It’s Mohammed you shouldn’t draw – not Allah!
Whatever they are!
Sounds like you have an excellent grasp of the situation there Supernova.
as usual
and would an equivalent person be allowed to speak so freely in a Muslim country. these people are dangerous and manipulate the law to suit themselves. they want us back in the dark ages.
No, Choudary; the real question is ‘why are you living in Britain?” It’s a “westernized society” in case you weren’t aware … you might want to go ask some of your fellow muslims in Saudi to whom alcohol and liberal attitudes to sex “is anathema” why they go to Bahrain every weekend in their droves for a good shag and a piss-up, western-style …
He’s living off benefits from the UK State that he so despises. No doubt his Wahhabi paymasters also take care of him seeing as he, unlike Omar Bakri, can’t be deported from the UK and so can spread his twisted form of Islam at his leisure.
Not directed at all Muslims here but wouldn’t that guy wanna look around in western countries where Muslims havebeen moving to for decades? Does he think he and they should all move back to their perspective countries? I am all for the westerners to never go in to them countries and do no trade with ever! Of course normal Muslims who like our countries welcome to stay. Funny his he is living in UK isn’t it. Idiot. A Muslim guy said on radio today if they have these views towards the country they are in all governments should deport immediately. Hear hear to you. Guy is a out and out racist bigot! Why don’t you f*ck off out of UK. They guy on radio couldn’t understand why they haven’t booted him out of UK. Either can I.
He is a visitor in England with ah a racist opinion
His is an English citizen born in England!!!!!
I ,ve never known a Brit with their opinion,How s the table manners?
Are his views any worse than those of the provisional IRA that for so many years were tolerated, understood, contextualised – made OK, for the soft underbelly of Republican support they received in this country?? But then again the provisional IRA were not killing citizens of the Irish Republic nor were they blowing up holiday resorts here. So that was different.
Funny that: my best mate is Muslim and has been known to enjoy beaches, alcohol and drugs. Choudhury clearly has a warped view of Muslims
My kind of Muslim!
Would your mates wife/girlfriend/partner be able to enjoy the same?
Next time I meet his boyfriend I’ll ask
Lol! There You go. Answer in one.
I’m not sure what you’re assuming from that answer. But, regarding women I’ve never once heard him espouse them being subjugated or treated any differently because of their sex. Liberal Muslims do actually exist.
Fair play to him if he’s a liberal on social issues.
A brave member of the minority.
The Adrian Kennedy show is Jeremy Kyle on the radio but why are those idiots giving this other idiot a platform to speak to the public? One of the biggest problems with these attacks is the publicity and momentum it gives these groups.
This head the ball is constantly going on about the presence of Westerners in Muslim countries , he of course lives on benefits in Britain , the media are idiots for giving this Islamist airtime , in the current climate however maybe he has a point , if all Westerners leave Muslim countries will that mean that all Muslims will leave Western countries , it may be a solution ?
They need our brains and expertise
Why this idiot is still given coverage by the media I’ll never know. The people who give him air time to spew his hate filled viewed are part of the problem.
By hearing his views we get to know what we are up against. How else can we counter their bigotry? The “playing ostrich with head in the sand mentality” is foolish. I’m sure there are enough articulate people out there to counter his arguments intelligently and show him up for what he is – a murderous bigot.
Anjem Choudary is a very sick twisted person.
We won’t have to wait long to become part of the caliphate as we are busy importing Muslims from North Africa into Europe.
This is the pervasive attitude taking root across the UK and we aren’t far behind them here. We need to act before we end up overrun like the UK or France.
We were already overrun by Catholic Extremists from Rome.
Do they shoot you,and bomb you?
No, they rape kids and cover it up.
Generations of children who were raped and women who were falsely imprisoned and had their children snatched from them would probably have preferred the less painful and quicker punishment.
Drinking alcohol, nudity all rejected by Muslims. No mention of cold blooded murder?? This is the kind of bs that drives me mad. These spokesmen on behalf of Muslims go to lengths to justify and defend atrocities always normal non Muslims fault. Just makes me more sceptical of this religions attitude and ideology
Let’s just blame the victims. Inexcusable comments from an Inexcusable individual..
I don’t think anyone was naked on the beach. why not just admit one of your guys murdered innocent people.
Luckily not all Muslims are like Choudary:
So speaketh Choudry the Hypocrite.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1240691/Swilling-beer-smoking-dope–secret-past-hate-preacher-Anjem-Choudary.html
Another example of why islam has no place in europe , he should be found accidentaly drowned .
Just for those unaware of choudry ….he’s the go to Muslim for really shit talk shows…guaranteed to get the phonlines hopping…..
Lol! Sorry John, I read that as Philistines!
Shame on 98FM muppets giving this vile sub-human air time.. Mickey Mouse station anyway
Why doesn’t anjem head off to one of those medieval Islamic hellholes that he loves so much.
A vile little man and a hypocrite to boot looking at his own past.
And if one follows the logic of his thesis then the Christian countries are being destabilised by the presence of Muslims!This man has a warped mind. Tunisia has developed an excellent tourist industry based on the needs of European tourists as has Morocco. His comments would lead one to believe that Muslims are incapable of living within any society that they cannot force to live as Muslims. He is obviously trying to foment conflict and hatred.
Why listen to a man who believes in flying horses? Instantly discredited.
nothing justifies 38 people being murdered..
God bless religion, sure isn’t it great all together?
Eternal peace is found in science, our Muslim brothers and sisters use to lead the way in science. Our numerical system comes from there neck of the woods.
What’s the craic with this blind faith everyone’s preaching about?
Can all the sound Muslims ( the majority of yee) and the sound Christians (the majority of yee too) get together and start making shapes at showing the world how much we have in common?
Why isn’t that rat deported?
He’s English so where does he get deported to assuming that you can be deported out of your own country in the first place?
Where to Dagenham ? The c.nt was born in kent .
It’s a shame he’s English born. They could have deported him like they did his Jordanian comrade a few years ago otherwise.
What is Choudary doing in the UK so
He was born in the UK FFS
Seamus, every time I see you post the same thing I crack up laughing. Your frustration is glaringly obvious. And for the record, you’re just saving me from posting the same thing. This particular degenerate was born in the UK so they are stuck with him unfortunately..
Jaysus Andrea I thought it was just me! The Brits would quite happily drop this guy in the arse hole of nowhere if they could but because he was born and raised in the UK the obviously can’t. What is absolutely amazing here is the complete ignorance of people not to mention the fact that they give out about extremists and yet don’t stop to think about what they sound like themselves!
I used to mix this guy up with Abu Hamza a lot, others could be doing the same thing. And I’m sure everybody wishes he could be dropped down a big black hole somewhere and left to perish. He’s a disgrace and hasn’t a clue what he’s talking about. My daughter’s boyfriend is Muslim and they are currently away on a sun holiday. Not only does he drink, it’s currently Ramadan and he’s fasting about as much as you or I. Even his parents don’t fast but they give up alcohol for the duration. The westernised Muslims treat Ramadan a bit like we used to treat lent, give up one or two things and that’s about it.
Choudary, how about you & your fellow primitives f**k off back to your camel infested shít whole caliphate & leave the rest of us be. signed, the 21st century.
Ah yeah and the Middle East was a paradise before western powers got involved there. Ye have been butchering each other since man walked the earth
The biggest benefit scrounging Tosser muslim that ever was. Do you think this piece of filth would put his own life on the line for islam? Lol NO..
He should in a prison cell for inciting hatred against non muslims . Way too soft on them in the UK and it’s too late for them now but Ireland has to wake up…. NO more MOSQUES in Ireland please ..or churches for that matter
I hope this Choudary character is banned from visiting Ireland!
” In October 2006 he addressed a debate at Trinity College, Dublin, where as spokesman for al-Muhajiroun he spoke against the motion that “This house believes that Islamist violence can never be justified”.
well how about all the muslims “encroaching” on the western world eh mr cleric? ye shud all be fecked onto an island the lot of ye and then sink the bitc# . yere nothin but a threat to innocent people.
He would have hated the Sea Sessions in Bundoran so.
you would not be naked up there even in the summer the wind would cut you.
And the presence of medieval backward thinking Muslims in the rest of the civilised world worries us. Go back to the dark ages you muppet
This kind of nutjob shouldn’t be given a platform. Fair enough he represents a point of view that’ll get people talking about your show/ clicking into your article, but misrepresents the views of the millions of Muslims in Ireland and the UK who are all abhorred at the act and any justification of it. At best, this is irresponsible journalism.
it’s time to come down hard once and for all on these terrorists and these radical nutters coming out with outlandish statements like this.
One question, why is there a huge Mosque being built in Dublin? Are we expecting an influx of visitors?
The influx started in the mid 90′s with all of the asylum seekers. The number of Muslims went from 3,873 in 1991 to 49,204 in 2011. It’s now though to be around 55,000.
Those of us who took a strong line on bogus asylum seekers were branded as racists. Go figure.
Time to send this idiot packing. Imagine him being allowed to spout that nonsense after what has happened, freedom of speech has some drawbacks I’m afraid.
He forgot to mention Sunni Muslims attacking and killing Shi’ite Muslims,apart from the fact his religion is based on a work of fiction.
Choudary is not representative of Muslims and he does not speak for Islam.
Extremis and terrorists thrive on attention and fear. These are the means by which they procure instability and paranoia.
anjem choudary is a stooge , a bogeyman paid by the UK government to justify bringing in more draconian anti terror laws which are immediately used against disabled protesters and granny’s trying to save the local library or post office.
Mr Choudary reminds me of Mr Collins…the pavee point spokesman…they both have tough jobs as apologists for their oppressed communities….
Choudary offends ME with the tone and content of his policies.
Choudary and his ilk create a huge desire in ME for revenge.
Choudary , like all Islamists, is a bigot – preaching toleration for Islamist atrocities and the infliction of cruelty and subjugation on anyone who dares to confront the nut-jobs who drive this fanatic fringe.(Sharia).
Choudary should learn that the comfort he enjoys on being allowed to speak his mind openly in our countries is exactly what he and the twisted IS and their followers want to deny everyone under their control.
The (Moderate) Islamic world has a stark choice to make and now is probably as opportune a time to force that decision as any = that is, rise up and rid yourselves of this fanatical bunch of insidious perverts or lose all the benefits (financial, tourism and economical support) that you have enjoyed as a result of our toleration of you and your demands for far too long.
The West has accommodated Islam and observed most of the rules that these states enforce, when we visit their countries and spend our hard earned money. Money that allows them to purchase modern equipment, goods and technology that has enabled them to lift themselves from the squalor of the existence they endured only a short 50 – 60 years ago.
If they do not want to find themselves facing those old standards of living and oppression, they must now act , strongly & swiftly to once and for all remove and crush this lunatic fringe that threatens their future wellbeing,
Personally, If Choudary want to live under Sharia law, I’d send him back to IS/Saudi tomorrow, permanently and deny him the opportunity to ever appeal the decision or re-enter Europe again – all in the name of the Common Good.
He has a point about western liberal behaviour when abroad though.
Absolutely no respect for native culture they want to turn every place they visit into a hedonistic hellhole of debauchery and vomit.
They’ve destroyed the beaches of Europe.
Then they went to Goa and drove the local population out of their own land with all night drug fuelled raves.
Now they’re deep into Vietnam destroying the river culture.
The relentless pursuit of leisure, pleasure and crime.
They just won’t stop until the whole world becomes a cross between Dodge City, Faliraki and Temple Bar.
No cultural awareness.
No dignity.
And above all
NO CLASS.
Ill be sending him pictures of Tits and his prophet all night on twitter if anyone is interested in joining me
while your at it let them know your from malta and not ireland.
That person giving his opinion from?where?England .and he is doing the very same thing living there.Are we stupid or what.High time these people left ,bow down ,and go where you belong
1. Choudary is the skum of the earth.
2. Many of the comments here are an absolute disgrace.
Says the British Cleric… The hypocrisy is just frustrating at this stage
Choudray why don’t you f*ck off to Islamic State and shut up with your utter bullsh*t!
Maybe the solution to this whole situation is to just freeze the battlelines, give ISIS their caliphate, refuse to trade with them in their new currency of camels and goats, seal their borders other than to give a free one-way ticket to anyone (regardless of citizenship) who expresses support for their beliefs. Stone-age Islamic paradise for everyone who wants it. No change of mind – let the reasonably-minded Muslims live in the rest of the world.
We could do likewise for the nutjob Christians – loads of empty space in Utah.
Interesting how the hot-beds of this sort of religious fundamentalism tends to be arid regions where fugg all tends to grow… it’s all a bit Mad Max
I hope there a bullet somewhere with this bigots name on it. ..Right piece of filth
A bullet alright mate, marinated in pork out and boasting an explosive tip…
‘out’ was meant to be fat…marinated in pork fat…
all religion is set up to control sheepol
I’ve a simple solution. Muslims, f*** off back to your “Muslim countries” and let us enjoy the nakedness, drink and drugs of our western civilizations.
They were quite happy to take tourists’ money up till recently!
This guy is the Islamic equivalent of the Westboro Baptist Church. He’s a freak show, who represents only an ingnorant and insignificant bunch of crazies. Without the media’s prurient interest in his rantings he would be nothing. Just ignore him.
He would not condone nor condemn the attack yet he praised the Terrorists of 9/11 and 7/7….. One of his associates followers killed Lee Rigby… The man should not be given a second of airtime…. Section 31 him !
I have to hand it to this guy,he has for whatever it is worth and it is worth reading into,tried his best to be at least honest. I do not see his point of view being taken up by to many people for what it is,but at least he is attempting some kind of explanation for the radical movements attacks.His lack of condemnation is as far as I am concerned an endorsement of the tactic.
If we refuse to engage with guys like this we are refusing to explore the possibility of some kind of solution.It is also very clear that the ‘west’ is paying for british and american foreign policy that has failed on all levels.Iraq is worse now than it ever was under saddam and afghanistan is a complete and utter mess. This needs a more open discussion,unlike the one that is currently going on in america today.British engagement is based on american opinions…We need more voices….greece is not that big an issue in the scheme of things.
What a load of rubbish Alan, slaughtering innocent people holidaying on a beach is an evil horrendous act too horrifying to even contemplate, all they do is target innocent people, they are crimes against humanity.
Helpful..My point exactly…that is exactly what I believe it to be, and you do too… a slaughter. Yet they continue to do so and they clearly have no borders,no place that will not go.So tell me…if you cannot see to try some kind of diplomatic solution are you going to suggest we sign up to fight them…? If I was to think that was the only solution I would be sending my sons to the fight. Three of them to be precise. You will no doubt send yours and the obvious place to start would be syria / iraq……starting to get the picture. You are not stupid so please tell me what have you in mind by way of a solution.
Alan IS are on the offensive, they are motivated well financed and well armed, so unfortunately I do imagine they will be negotiating for any diplomatic solutions. I’ll be honest I know little about IS only what does be on the news, supposedly their aim is a single world Islamic state, what we have witnessed with the awful slaughter in Tunisia is that this well armed group of psychopaths is a threat to our way of life and if it carries on unchecked we mightn’t have a say wether our sons have to fight because the fight will be brought to them.
*i don’t imagine they will negotiate
I agree with you yet again.That said we as a country are not prepared for it and our leadership has no intention of doing anything by way of preparation soon.We allow known sympathisers to walk the streets and peddle their hatred.I expect we will get a wake up call at some point. All those soldiers passing through shannon and rendition flights, although they are denied, also facilitated by our successive governments.I believe our governments put a lot of weight on our neutrality ,that would not be a long term strategy I would have much faith in.Strange days indeed.
Folks， don’t confuser this clown with being a somebody.
1. Remember he don’t represent anyone
2. It WAS on the Adrian kennedy phoneshow
“hey boss, who’ll we get on to talk about this attack, someone logical and analytical?”
“No, where was that lunatic we like using to inflame and incense?”
Journal.ie,
This Anjem Choudary is not a Muslim social activist, he is a supporter of ISIS. Interviewed on Fox News last year he explicitly said that ISIS was not to be called ISIS it was The Islamic State, and that Christians were returning to live there. He is founder of now defunct extremist groups Al-Muhajiroun and Islam 4 UK.
The guy is an all round hairball
Kick that lunatic out of the UK, regardless to where he was born, because if a Rat is born in a kennel, it doesn’t make it a Dog.
I think Western World is afraid that Muslims if left to their own with all they want without any Western influences – they will soon make a bomb and blow up a half of the world. Are the Westerns right? Maybe – especially when I look that a man can blow up his intestines killing dozens of people saying Allah Akbar – this is not what God wants I’m sure – this is what this terrorist thinks God wants! and with this kind of philosophy – apparent among many VIPs and high figures in Muslim World I would say – yes, there is a reason to be afraid. Someone said that every terrorist is a Muslim but not every Muslim is a terrorist. Do you think he is right?
“Muslim social activist”?? Are you bloody serious?
This guy talks about the Western invasion of the Muslim world. This puts things into perspective:
Now let’s see who’s invading who.
have your say
