British Imam on Trial

Hamza 'preached of duty to kill non-believers'

Jan 12, 2006

The Muslim preacher Abu Hamza exhorted his followers to murder non-believers as part of their duty to Islam in inflammatory lectures recorded for distribution around Britain, the Old Bailey was told.

The cleric, 47, who faces 15 charges ranging from soliciting murder to reproducing material designed to stir up racial hatred, was also said to have also possessed an 11-volume "manual for terrorism" which detailed how to make explosives and conduct assassinations.

From the Koran:

005.051 O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors {authorities]: They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them for friendship is of them. Verily Allah guideth not a people unjust.

004.101 When ye travel through the earth, there is no blame on you if ye shorten your prayers, for fear '''the unbelievers''' May attack you: For '''the Unbelievers''' are unto you open enemies.

009.123 O ye who believe! fight '''the unbelievers''' who gird you about, and let them find firmness in you.

033.061 They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy.

soliciting murder and material designed to stir up racial hatred???

The Koran created Abu Hamza

The prosecution told the opening day of Mr Hamza's trial that under the guise of a respected communal leader, or sheikh, the defendant "preached murder and hatred" over a period of years at locations including the Finsbury Park Mosque in north London. The court heard that when police arrested Mr Hamza in May 2004, some 15 months after the Finsbury Park Mosque was closed, they discovered nearly 3,000 copies of video and audio recordings of public and private lectures given by the cleric.

In these sermons, it was claimed that the preacher provided a lifestyle "blueprint" which made it clear that the murder of non-Muslims was as much part of the Islamic faith as a halal diet and eschewing alcohol.

David Perry, for the prosecution, told the jury: "As a person delivering a sermon in a holy place and as a spiritual leader you might expect that [Mr Hamza's] talks would contain expressions of hope, charity and compassion. In fact, the speeches contained very little on these matters. The prosecution case, in a sentence, is that Sheikh Abu Hamza was preaching murder and hatred.

"He told his congregations it was part of their religious duty to fight in the cause of Allah and it was part of their religious duty to kill. The people who it was being encouraged to kill were non-believers - those who did not believe or were not 'true followers' of Islam."

009.038 O ye who believe! what is the matter with you, that, when ye are asked to go forth in the cause of Allah, ye cling heavily to the earth? Do ye prefer the life of this world to the Hereafter? But little is the comfort of this life, as compared with the Hereafter.

009.044 Those who believe in Allah and the Last Day ask thee for no exemption from fighting with their goods and persons. And Allah knoweth well those who do their duty.

004.095 Not equal are those believers who sit at home and receive no hurt, and those who strive and fight in the cause of Allah with their goods and their persons. Allah hath granted a grade higher to those who strive and fight with their goods and persons than to those who sit at home. But those who strive and fight hath He distinguished above those who sit at home by a special reward.

002.216 Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing [war] which is good for you and that ye love a thing [peace] which is bad for you?

009.039 Unless ye go forth, He will punish you with a grievous penalty, and put others in your place.

047.004 Therefore, when ye meet '''the Unbelievers''' in fight, smite at their necks. [Behead them!]

By the very words of 'allah' himself - Abu Hamza is FULLY supported by the Koran - the book of Islam - on a level that a child can understand.

The real culprit - is 'allah' {Mr. Kerry clearly defended the culprit.

Didn't 'allah' make it "quite clear" for Mr. Kerry? that slaughtering non-Muslims is a duty for Muslims? or is it that non-Muslims are not innocent in Mr. Kerry's eyes?

Mr Hamza denies all 15 charges against him, including eight counts of soliciting murder, four of using threatening language to stir up racial hatred and one of possessing an article likely to be of use to anyone preparing acts of terrorism - namely an 11-volume Encyclopedia of Afghani Jihad detailing theories and practice of guerrilla warfare.

The encyclopedia, in Arabic, was found on a bookshelf in the preacher's home. It was alleged the books contained detailed descriptions of how to make bombs and explosives, "dog fight" combat and the use of handguns. It also described "hitting" famous targets and symbols of the West, including Big Ben and "large congregations of people at Christmas".

The Egyptian-born cleric, who appeared in court dressed in a pale blue traditional Arab garment but was not wearing his "hook" false arms, listened carefully as Mr Perry described how police found 2,700 audiotapes and more than 570 videotapes when they raided his home in Shepherd's Bush, west London.

They included multiple copies of some of the cleric's lectures and a number of "master" tapes which it was claimed might have been used for reproducing the sermons for sale across Britain by Supporters of Sharia, a fundamentalist Islamic campaigning group co-founded by Hamza.

The lectures, given in public at the Finsbury Park Mosque and at private events hosted by Supporters of Sharia {Islamic laws] between 1996 and 2002, covered a wide range of topics, including licensing laws, adultery, the "evils of democracy" and a theory that E-number food additives made products haram, forbidden for Muslims. It is claimed the cleric used the sermons to justify suicide bombings, advocate the assassination of "apostate" Arab leaders and suggest that Hitler had been sent to punish the Jews.

The jury of seven women and five men was told that the subject of jihad, considered by Mr Hamza to mean a holy war, was at the core of the sermons but introduced only as part of a wider discussion of how a Muslim can survive in Britain - a country described by the cleric as like "living in a toilet". Mr Perry said it did not matter the prosecution would not name anyone who had attended the lectures and could not show that anyone had followed Mr Hamza's directions.

He said: "The breadth of what [Hamza] had to discuss demonstrates the control he seeks to exercise over his listeners. The talks are a blueprint for living. When he talks about jihad and the obligation to pursue war against unbelievers he presents himself as a moral and civic leader. The fact the prosecution cannot point to any individual act of murder is irrelevant, because the offence of soliciting murder is made out if the defendant, by his words sought to encourage or even embolden or persuade his audience to commit murder."

The trial, which is expected to last up to four weeks, continues.

If convicted - then what about the Koran?

When will the 'wise' men of this world confront the Koran? When their own loved-ones are being slaughtered?

Mic 3:4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but He will not hear them: He will even hide His face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.

Isa 65:12 Therefore will I number you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter: because when I called, ye did not answer; when I spake, ye did not hear; but did evil before mine eyes, and did choose that wherein I delighted not.

From the Koran:

033.061 They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they '''the unbelievers''' shall be seized and slain without mercy. {Where is the mercy in that Islamic teaching?

Mic 6:8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

Gal 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. {The same goes for nations

SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO?

Take away the teachings of Christ - and the teachings of Muhammad will surely fill in the gap. Make no mistake about it.

There is not one single self-professing so-called 'Christian' house that is coming forward with that Truth. In fact - they have excused themselves from that Christian Duty:

Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour.

They have excused themselves from that Command {Is this not true?
