The Times (London) reports that almost half of Britain’s mosques “are under the control of a hardline Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims to ‘shed blood’ for Allah.”
” Riyadh ul Haq, who supports armed jihad and preaches contempt for Jews, Christians and Hindus, is in line to become the spiritual leader of the Deobandi sect in Britain. The ultra-conservative movement, which gave birth to the Taleban in Afghanistan, now runs more than 600 of Britain’s 1,350 mosques,” according to a police report.
As the Times points out, the investigation “casts serious doubts on government statements that foreign preachers are to blame for spreading the creed of radical Islam in Britain’s mosques and its policy of enouraging the recruitment of more ‘home-grown’ preachers.”
One of such radical preachers is one ul Haq. Ul Haq was “educated and trained at an Islamic seminary in Britain and is part of a new generation of British imams who share a similar radical agenda.” Mr. ul Haq believes and preaches that Muslims should not befriend Jews and / or Christians. He also criticizes Muslims who say they’re proud to be British.
