\"Anjem<\/a>
Anjem Choudary believes in the Koran!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

So Anjem Choudary has been jailed for terrorism offences.<\/p>\n

The preacher was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in September 2016 for encouraging Muslims to join self-styled Islamic State.<\/p>\n

(P.S. He was released in 2018 but then jailed for life in 2024<\/strong><\/a> for directing terrorist group al-Muhajiroun. No doubt he is now radicalising inmates in prison.)<\/p>\n

I RADICALISED ANJEM ON A TV SET<\/strong><\/p>\n

I met Anjem just once, on a TV set. The producers had tried to set\u00a0up Anjem, myself and an orthodox Jewish rabbi against a comedian posing as a legitimate interviewer to provoke us into intemperate statements.<\/p>\n

I spotted what was going on and explained it to the other two, setting myself up as our ad hoc shop steward. \u00a0I think I can take the credit for radicalising Anjem and the rabbi into refusing to go on. \u00a0The programme was later pulled from its proposed schedule.<\/p>\n

I found Anjem Choudary a polite, if uncompromising, individual. \u00a0He was and is obviously a devout Muslim. \u00a0His message is that Sharia (that’s Arabic for ‘law’) needs to be imposed and a world-wide Caliphate (Muslim rule) established. \u00a0But that is no more than a fairly reasonable conclusion from following the ‘prophet’ Mohammed’s example and his Koran.<\/p>\n

ANJEM WANTS ISLAM TO DOMINATE THE WORLD SHOCK<\/strong><\/p>\n

The judge said that in one of Choudary’s speeches<\/a><\/strong> he referred “happily to the prospect of the flag of Islam flying over 10 Downing Street and the White House”, and in another set out his ambitions for Islam to “dominate the whole world”. \u00a0So what? \u00a0That’s Islam, Your Honour. \u00a0Get over it.<\/p>\n

Surah 8:39. And fight them on until there is no more tumult or oppression, and there prevail justice and<\/em>
\nfaith in Allah altogether and everywhere; …<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a>
Lee Rigby’s murderer Michael Adebolajo (left) followed Anjem Choudary (right)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After a fourteen-year career out on the streets radicalising Muslim youth with impunity, including at least one of the killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby<\/strong><\/a>, Anjem Choudary was only convicted on 28th July 2016 because he invited support for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant<\/strong><\/a>, which is\u00a0illegal under the Terrorism Act 2000<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0Islamic State is listed by the Home Office as a Proscribed Organisation<\/a><\/strong>. A video of him swearing allegiance to the\u00a0group did the job. \u00a0But again, the ‘State’ part of their title may be aspriational, but IS\u00a0are authentically Islamic, killing Christians and other ‘kaffir’ and taking over land just as the Koran prescribes:<\/p>\n

Surah 5:33. The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with<\/em>
\nmight and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of<\/em>
\nhands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and<\/em>
\na heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter; <\/em><\/p>\n

Sentencing, Mr Justice Holroyde said\u00a0Anjem had ‘shown no remorse’. \u00a0You don’t say! \u00a0He’s not sorry for being a Muslim? \u00a0Even after a nice cup of tea in the judge’s drawing room? \u00a0Whatever is the\u00a0world coming to?<\/p>\n

ARE WE RADICALISING CHRISTIAN\u00a0YOUTH?<\/strong><\/p>\n

And here’s a challenge for you. \u00a0Are Christian\u00a0ministers doing as good a job radicalising our youth as Anjem did radicalising young Muslims? \u00a0Are our young people as sold out for Jesus and his message of peace with God through\u00a0repentance\u00a0as Anjem’s youth were – are – for Mohammed and his message of jihad and war?<\/p>\n

Mark 1:14 \u00a0Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are our young people as committed to the righteous rule of God’s law commanded by King Jesus as Anjem’s Muslims are to Sharia?<\/p>\n

Matt 5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And are Christian youth as sure Christ is going to rule the whole world\u00a0as Anjem’s young people are confident of their world-wide Caliphate?<\/p>\n

Luke 19:27 But those mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me.<\/strong><\/p>\n
