Hate cleric Omar Bakri calls for 'ban' on Christmas (the perfect day to launch a terror attack)
Evening Standard (London) ^ | Monday 24.12.07

Posted on 12/24/2007 5:37:55 AM PST by IrishMike

Hate preacher Omar Bakri, who is barred from Britain, is calling on Brits to boycott Christmas.

Using the internet to post a rant against the festive season, Bakri claims Christmas should be "completely forbidden".

In another chilling post the radical cleric said Christmas Day would be the perfect day to launch a terror attack on the UK.

He said: "To have Christmas tree, visit so-called Christmas Father - that is completely forbidden.

"Make sure you do not watch TV. Do not let them hear jingle bells. Do not send your children on Christmas trip."

Bakri's previous vile rants included his belief that the British public and the Government were responsible for the 7/7 London bombings.

In 2005 he was excluded by the then Home Secretary Charles Clarke from returning to Britain.

The move came after Bakri reportedly said he had left Britain for good and intended to set up home in the Lebanon.

He was duly arrested by Lebanese security forces.

Bakri, 46, was the London-based spiritual leader of the extremist group Al-Muhajiroun while claiming benefits from social services.

Although the group had supposedly disbanded, Prime Minister Tony Blair said that its successor organisation would be outlawed.

The Syrian-born preacher moved to the UK in 1985 after being deported from Saudi Arabia because of his membership of a banned group there.

In 1996 he created Al-Muhajiroun (The Eyes and Ears of the Muslims), which praised the 'Magnificent 19' hijackers after September 11.

In October 2004, he announced he was disbanding Al-Muhajiroun in the interests of "unity in the Muslim world".

But soon afterwards he led a demonstration outside the US Embassy in London in which protesters chanted the name of Al Qaeda chief Osama bin Laden and torched an American flag.

I’m guessing he’s getting a lump of coal for Christmas.

It is ironic that the so called religion of peace would foment hatred on the celebration of the birth of the Prince of Peace.

“I must stop Chrismas from coming” yeah, sure. That’s not going to happen. Remember, even Scrooge and The Grinch were transformed by the power of Christmas.

For Omar Bakri - THe greatest Christmas song ever (please excuse the language)

Click Here to listen

Merry F-in Christmas (by Mr. Garrison - South Park)

I heard there is no Christmas
In the silly Middle East
No trees, no snow, no Santa Claus
They have different religious beliefs

They believe in Muhammad
And not in our holiday
And so every December
I go to the Middle East and sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

"Hey there Mr. Muslim 
Merry f-ing Christmas
Put down that book the Koran
And hear some holiday wishes.

In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus's birthday.
So get off your heathen Muslim ass
and f-ing celebrate.

There is no holiday season in India I've heard
They don't hang up their stockings
And that is just absurd!

They've never read a Christmas story.
They don't know what Rudolph is about
And that is why in December
I'll go to India and shout...

Hey there Mr. Hinduist
Merry f-ing Christmas
Drink eggnog and eat some beef
And pass it to the missus.

In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus's birthday 
So get off your heathen Hindu ass
and f-ing celebrate!

Now I heard that in Japan 
Everyone just lives in sin
They pray to several gods
And put needles in their skin.

On December 25th
All they do is eat a cake
And that is why I go to Japan
And walk around and say...

Hey there Mr. Shintoist
Merry f-ing Christmas 
God is going to kick your ass 
You infidelic pagan scum.

In case you haven't noticed
There's festive things to do
So lets all rejoice for Jesus 
And Merry f-ing Christmas to you.

On Christmas day I travel `round the world and say,
Taoists, Krishnas, Buddhists, and all you atheists too,
Merry F-ing Christmas, To You!

“Perhaps Ramadan “should be ‘completely forbidden’ “ Good idea, as an eye for an eye ...... is what they understand.

“and and, I’m canceling Christmas.” Sherrif of Nottingham hilariously played by Alan Rickman in Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, 1991.
