OVERWEIGHT preacher of hate Abu Hamza has given prison officials a list of demands after telling his lawyer: Im starving in here.
Hamza, 49, who weighs about 20 stone, has told jail chiefs he wants more and better food, extra phone time and an end to constant strip searches.
A dossier of complaints compiled by his solicitors states: He receives insufficient food which appears to be out-of-date and does not meet his dietary requirements.
He has been left in a room without adequate facilities to meet the needs of a disabled person. This included no heads on taps so he did not have access to cold water and didnt have his diabetic pack.
His team at Arani Solicitors claims Hamza was strip searched 13 times in one day, making him feel degraded.
The statement reads: On one occasion, Shaykh Abu Hamza was strip searched 13 times during the period 8am to 5pm in one day alone.
Many Muslims will be aware that strip searches and other degrading practices, such as squatting, are against Islam.
Hamza also complained to his lawyers that he does not have enough phone credit making it impossible for him to prepare his legal defence.
The statement says: His telephone credit was also confiscated, denying him the right to prepare for his court hearing adequately.
Inmates of the category A jail, which houses some of Britains most dangerous prisoners, have branded Hamza the Hungry Hippo because of his vast bulk. A prison insider said: It was a label which instantly stuck hes a big man and everyone knows him for wearing that grey outfit. When word got round that he was moaning about being hungry, it seemed an obvious title.
Hamza, who lost both hands and an eye in a mine explosion in Afghanistan, faces life in a maximum security jail in the US. He is wanted there on 11 charges including playing a key role in a kidnap plot that ended in four deaths.
Hamza is also accused of attempting to set up an Al Qaeda training camp in Bly, Oregon, and being part of a global conspiracy to wage jihad on the West. District judge Tim Workman recommended his extradition in November.
Earlier this month, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith rubber-stamped the ruling.
But Egyptian-born Hamza has lodged one last appeal to Ms Smith further delaying his move to the US.
The former imam of Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, who is fighting extradition to the US, also objects to squatting during searches as it contravenes Islamic law.
Hamza, who has hooks after losing both hands, is serving seven years at Belmarsh prison in south London for soliciting the murder of non-Muslims and inciting racial hatred.
FTA: Squatting is against islamic law.”
Well, islam is against the laws of decent people everywhere.
Here he is, with his, I dunno, his beeyotch?
What a fat whiner...
Can you imagine the poor SOB, the low guy on the totem pole, who had to strip search this hog? Eeeeewwwwww.
Regards
Squatting is a problem, but getting on your knees with your butt up in the air is fine with Allah. Ok, I understand now.
But they all must squat to pee.
I’ve got almost 100lbs on him: What does that make me? LOL

I’m Fred....
“such as squatting, are against Islam.
Squatting is anti-islamic? Wow.
Gee..wiping his butt must be a real thrill for his beeyotch/adviser?
“Hamza, who has hooks after losing both hands,”
What’s he do when he has IBs?
^5’s Fred
“What does that make me? LOL”
Not late for supper?
We should recruit the lefty food-police who think school kids will willingly eat tofu and alfalfa and put them in charge of meal planning for imprisoned jihadis.
“Talk and we’ll bring in all the Big Macs you want!”
It wouldn’t take long.
Now affectionately known as “lucky Hammy” to his fellow jihadis.
Somebody tell me how this guy grabs his “winky” to to pee? Or did that get blown off too?
The fat guy in the picture doesn’t look like he’s lost both hands and has hooks.
A big guy with hands fortunately. A bodyguard with just hooks would be just too scary.
Apparently this hasn't affected his ability to eat.
It’s good to have a real friend.
