I love Britain not terror, says son of Abu Hamza

THE son of the jailed Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri declared yesterday that he was proud to be a British citizen.

Mohammad Mostafa Kamel, 25, who was jailed for terrorist offences in Yemen in 1999, said that it was wrong to associate him with his father’s views.

“Everybody has their own beliefs and it doesn’t mean that if my dad believes something that I believe the same,” he told the BBC World Service Outlook programme. “I don’t agree with everything my dad says.”

Mr Kamel, who was dismissed from a part-time maintenance job on the London Underground after his bosses realised that he had a conviction for terrorism, insisted that he was peaceful and tolerant. He said: “I’m proud to be British. I love my country.”

His father, the former imam of Finsbury Park mosque in North London, repeatedly described England as “a toilet” and told his followers that they had an obligation to wage holy war against non-Muslims.

Mr Kamel was born in London in October 1981 to Abu Hamza, who was working as a bouncer at a pornographic cinema club, and his first wife, Valerie Traverso.

Abu Hamza took his son to live with him and his second wife, Nagat, in Morocco, Egypt and Pakistan. They returned to London after Abu Hamza lost his hands and an eye while attempting to make explosives.

Mr Kamel did not see his mother again until he was 17 and on trial in Yemen. He denied involvement in terrorism, but was convicted of planning attacks against British and US targets in Yemen.

After the Britons were arrested, Yemeni guerrillas kidnapped Western tourists, four of whom were shot dead during the rescue. Abu Hamza was in direct contact with the leader of the kidnap gang via satellite phone.

Mr Kamel said: “Me and my friend went to Yemen. Our intention was to do a course. The only reason I got in trouble was because there was a lot of media things happening with my dad.” He devoted the three years that he spent in prison to further study of the Koran and now plans to become a Muslim rap artist. “I haven’t got anything against anyone,” he said. “That’s my message — and peace.”

Abu Hamza, 48, was jailed in February for seven years for inciting murder and race hatred. He has appealed.

This is the long stated desired goal of multiculturalism. The synthesis of Anglosphere post-modernist phraseology and the worst of imported cultures.

When Sufi Arafat speaks in Arabic of Palestinian blood on Israeli hands, then speaks of peace in English as Hillary Clinton stands beside her and they then embrace.

When every Imam who preaches murderous Jihad in Arabic, then travels to the Western capitals and pleads for international aid and a commitment to peace in English or French or German. This now, their children schooled in the duplicity, their dual native tongues and dual identities, now can walk inside Western culture and preach it's destruction with the fawning intelligentsia of the neutered West giving them free reign and sparkling publicity, is the true end of the beginning of multiculturalists' advocacy.

Now not only do the British have to through off the descending cultural challenge of hostile immigrant communities, but also of a debased elite who live in denial of their fear, and promote their childrens' enemies' positions in proclamations of cultural appeasement.



He's been to Yemen, he knows of the power that nearly illeterate self proclaimed Imams have over ignorant local peasant Muslim populations there. They take local language and instill it with the absoluteism of vindictive Islam, and reign over the masses.

Rap, hip hop, is the equivalent language in the UK's urban ghettos.

"Taqiyya (pronounced tak-e-ya) : precautionary dissimulation or deception and keeping one's convictions secret and a synonymous term, Kitman: mental reservation and dissimulation or concealment of malevolent intentions..."

"According to Christian ethics lying is a sin; In Islamic jurisprudence and theology, the use of taqiyya against the unbelievers is regarded as a virtue and a religious duty."
