“Shari’a Movement Struggles to Globalize Campaign for Islamizing Western World”
By: R. Green*

Introduction

Over recent years, a new phenomenon has emerged among radical Islamist circles: the rise of a global network of groups calling for the total Islamization of Western states and societies via the implementation of shari’a law, the abolishment of democratic states and their replacement by Islamic regimes.
These groups, which have referred to themselves as the global shari’a movement, strive to globalize ideas and tactics hatched within radical Islamist circles in the U.K. These circles are led by Sheikh ‘Omar Bakri, who was denied reentry into the country after he left for Lebanon following the 2005 London bombings, and his disciple Anjem Choudary, who founded several groups in the country that have since been banned by the British authorities.

Choudary has significant influence and involvement in most, if not all, of the groups which are part of the so-called global shari’a movement, whether directly or in inspiration, moral support or guidance. His name regularly appears on their websites, YouTube clips, and Facebook pages. For instance, the contact page on the Shariah4usa website provides contact information for Choudary, as well as for Bakri and for Ibrahim Siddiq Conlon, the head of Sharia4australia who recently posted a letter of support for Choudary on his Facebook page.[1]

Such groups have adopted Bakri and Choudary’s worldview and modus operandi in openly calling for and demonstrating in favor of the establishment of Islamic rule, while opposing democracy as a political ideal and system, condemning freedom, and protesting the West’s alleged crimes against Muslims. However, despite the image they have attempted to create, and despite meriting some media attention in the countries where they operate, the groups lack a substantial presence on the ground, with the exception of the U.K.-based groups, whose relatively high numbers and effective organization enable them to be more active – and, as a result, to enjoy considerably larger publicity in the media. The most tangible presence of these groups, especially those outside the U.K., is on online social networks, namely YouTube and Facebook.

The groups and figures that propagate Bakri and Choudary’s ideology include:
- Sharia4uk or Islam4uk and its reincarnations in the U.K., such as Muslims Against Crusades”

“UK Home Office Bans ‘Terror Organization’ Muslims Against Crusades; Group Spokesman Anjem Choudary Still Communicating Via Twitter, YouTube”

SNIPPET: “On November 9, the UK Home Office banned the British Islamist organization Muslims Against Crusades (MAC). This means that membership, holding meetings, or wearing clothing or “articles” to show support for the organization are now criminal offenses punishable by up to 10 years in jail.[1]
A week ago, MEMRI published an extensive report on the twitter activity of British jihadi Anjem Choudary, who is the group’s spiritual advisor and press spokesman as well as spokesman for the banned Islam4UK organization and co-founder of Al-Muhajiroun (see MEMRI Inquiry and Analysis No. 755, “Deleting Online Jihad on Twitter: The Case of British Jihadi Anjem Choudary – Tweeting for the Caliphate and the Conquest of the White House”).”

“BOMB PLOTTERS ARE MY STUDENTS, ADMITS CHOUDARY”

5th February 2012
By Dominik Lemanski

“HARDLINE Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary taught six of the nine fanatics jailed last week for plotting to bomb London.

The firebrand cleric even praised the terror gang as “decent young chaps”.”

SNIPPET: “The plotters, British citizens, last week pleaded guilty to preparing for acts of terrorism.

They admitted plotting to blow up the London Stock Exchange in a “Mumbaistyle” blitz.

And the al-Qaida-inspired gang also planned attacks on the American Embassy and Houses of Parliament . The radical Islamists intended to send mail bombs to prominent targets including London Mayor Boris Johnson.”

SNIPPET: “LONDON — They’ve been called “megaphone jihadists,” radical Muslims who take to the streets of Western cities demanding Islamic sharia law.

It’s a rising movement in Europe that also shows signs of growth in America.

Meet Anjem Choudary”

SNIPPET: “Choudary’s public support for jihad against British troops keeps his group on the radar of the country’s intelligence services.

Some of his followers have been arrested on terrorism charges.”

SNIPPET: “But Choduary gives no guarantees whether that will be the case. For now, he’s encouraged by the Islamist regimes coming to power as result of the so-called Arab Spring and takes it as a sign that his goal of a global caliphate is inevitable.”

WASHINGTON —

SNIPPET: “Choudary is the leader of Islam4UK, a group recently banned in Britain under the country’s counter-terrorism laws. He wants Islamic Sharia law to rule the United Kingdom and is working to make that dream a reality.

While Islamic radicals in the United States usually prefer to speak in more moderate tones while in public, masking their true agenda, Choudary has no such inhibitions.”

SNIPPET: “Choudary says his group is merely following core Islamic teachings and that Islam is much more than a religion.”
