The crowd erupted with cheering and applause when he said that Israel had been defeated by Hezbollah. He continued: "Hamas is making sacrifices for you. We tell this government Hamas is not a terrorist group. It is elected by the people of Palestine. We are not terrorists. We are defenders of the truth. Fighting those who invade Muslims is a just cause.
"The government is trying to turn the war on terror into the war on Islam."
In November 2004, Dr Tamimi told the BBC that he was prepared to be a suicide bomber if the opportunity arose. In an interview which was roundly condemned, he said that 2sacrificing myself for Palestine was a noble cause. It is the straight way to pleasing my God and I would do it if I had the opportunity".
Dr Tamimi, a prominent member of the Stop The War coalition, is married with three children and lives in Willesden, North West London. After coming to Britain from the Middle East more than 30 years ago, he and his family have become British citizens and live in a council block.
He has repeatedly spoken out in support of Hamas and described their suicide bomb tactics as 'the courage of man'.
In July 2004, he invited the radical Sheikh Yusuf Al Qaradawi to the UK. Al Qaradawi, who spoke at a taxpayer subsidised conference in London - has called for a war on Jews and the execution of homosexuals.
Send him packing to that Utopia of Palestine.....
Waiting for charges. Waiting. Waiting.
This trash would not have been tolerated for Germany neo-Nazis.
Maybe they can take shelter in their empty churches.
I'm ok with that - it's the part where you guys want to take a lot of un-believers with you that I find objectionable.
The circus is in town and these are the clowns...
Reminds me of Picketts charge and the Kamakazi's. Except Picketts charge was not suicide bombers.
To be a martyr, someone ELSE has to kill you. It doesn't count when you kill yourself.
"Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country."
The phrase "suicide bomber" is wrongly focused. "Homicide bomber" recognizes that the killing of others is the disgusting and cowardly result.
This article pretends these radicals being called to die for their beliefs represents some kind of selfless, or noble call. But they are being rallied to kill for their decrepid beliefs.
"ExpoIslamia?" Oh, at first reading I thought it said "ExploIslamia." (Just a semantic slip I guess.)
He is an enemy of the State and should be arrested and deported immediately. Dr. Tamini is like another other radical mullah that speak openly about what his real intentions are. The Brits should arrest that looney elected official that gives aid and comfort to the muslim loonies.
The funny thing about dying for your beliefs is, it's a lot like Stephen King's line from his short story "The Body" (which was made into the movie "Stand By Me", but I digress...): "Go out alone and you're a hero. Take somebody with you and you're dogp**s." I say that unless the somebody (ies) you're taking with you are genuinely bad people, you're definitely a foaming golden pitcher.
England should arrest this guy and deport him back to the hellhole he came from..and they should do it on TV...frog march him and make an example. This is just ridiculous.
Can you spell S-E-D-I-T-I-O-N?
Of course he thinks this, he is a Muslim. When will we stop pretending they don't all think this way?
Mohammed took a lot of teachings of various faiths of the time and glommed them onto his own peculiar worldview and hubris. He seems to have taken the WORST of all of them, put his own particular twisted spin on them, then his followers used the barbarian hordes to spread them far and wide at the point of a sword.
