The radical Islamic preacher who shouted down John Reid while he was addressing a Muslim meeting in east London has been arrested for allegedly encouraging terrorism.
Abu Izzadeen barracked the Home Secretary in a five minute outburst in September last year, as Mr Reid urged Muslim parents to stand up to extremists.
Dressed in a long white robe and turban, he shouted at Mr Reid: "How dare you come to a Muslim area when you have arrested so many Muslims in this area?
"I am furious. I am absolutely furious — John Reid should not come to a Muslim area. John Reid, Tony Blair and George Bush's crusade can all go to Hell."
The police were criticised at the time for not prosecuting Izzadeen, 31, who had previously praised the July 7 bombers.
It is understood that today's arrest relates to a speech he gave before his clash with Mr Reid, in the West Midlands area last year.
Izzadeen, a convert previously known as Trevor Brooks, was a leading figure in al-Muhajiroun (the Exiles), a banned extremist organisation which was wound up in 2004 by its founder, Omar Bakri Mohammed, who is in exile in Lebanon. Izzadeen later set up a splinter group, al-Ghurabaa (the Strangers), which is also banned.
After the July 7 attacks, he said the bombers were ''completely praiseworthy". He said the 52 victims were infidels and refused to condemn their killers.
On the eve of the anniversary of the attacks, Izzadeen was filmed preaching to a group of Muslims in Birmingham mocking and laughing at the victims of Sept 11 and warning that further terrorist attacks in Britain were ''very likely".
Al-Ghurabaa also organised the flag-burning protests outside the Danish embassy in London after cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed appeared in newspapers.
Born in Hackney, east London, Izzadeen, a fluent Arabic speaker, has a Jamaican background and converted to Islam when he was 17.
He is currently in custody at a central London police station, after being arrested in Leyton High Road, east London, this morning.
He Baraked him? What did he do...call him clean?
Keep him in jail then deport his sorry ass to the south pole Kill Him!
Fixed
He can't be deported. He is a British citizen by birth, and was born and raised in London.
The UK is (according to Islam today) is now a 'police state'. it is good seeing the authorities move. It is good seeing Islam cringe and bluster. More please!
regards form Wales.
That will work just fine.
There will be no peace until Islam is DEAD.
as there are now certain areas of paris off limits to french people (because they've been taken over by muzzies), I see they're now trying it in britain..
this is what the brits get for their diversity, tolerance and understanding...(coming soon to an american city near you)
There will be no peace until Islam is DEAD.

At least the Brits should just throw them all out, as every free Western nation should do. Send them back to the sand box where they belong. They are nothing but trouble, as we well know....
How refreshingly honest. He should be castrated.
FR Disclaimer: castrated in a non-violent way
No reason not to return him to his ancestral hell hole. Life in the UK clearly doesn't agree with him, nor he with it. Everyone who wants to live their lives under Islam should be returned to their ancestral lands to enjoy the blissful life there. Bottom line: they screwed up their countries and now there here trying to screw up ours. We must not allow them to do that. Enoch Powell was right.
Maybe the politically correct world will soon wake up to the fact that there is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. If you eliminate the hate, the conquering and subjugation of the infidel and the poor treatment of women, there is nothing left of Islam but a perversion of Judaism with Arabs in the starring roles.
In Hamtramck Michigan (Detroit area) they play the 5 times daily call to prayer over loudspeakers. Hamtramck used to be a predominantly Polish Catholic neighborhood.
Converted to Islam when he was 17???
All 17 year olds that I know cannot even sort their clothes for the washing machine.
Hardly capable of making an important lifetime decision.
Hope they find a deep, old, dank, dark London prison to put him into. Them "forget" that he is there. He can rot there.
How much public money has this piece of crap been living on since he turned 17???
"How dare you come to a Muslim area when you have arrested so many Muslims in this area?"
Islamic supremacists are waging jihad to expand the empire. Islamic territory is a koranic concept.
Someone brought up a point on the radio yesterday. How can we have "separation of church and state" when the Saudi government is funding the expansion of Islam in the West? Foreign governments are permitted to fund these tax free entities? Foreign governments that permit NO religious freedom?
A nonviolent racist is still a bigot.
Every devout Muslim who aspired to practice genuine Islam, even if they didn't actively support the attacks (9/11), they must have at least approved of them. ...Auaan Hirsi Ali, former Muslim, former member of the Dutch parliament, who wrote the script that Theo Van Gogh produced.
This is pure KC ...... Koranicly Correct.
