London, Sep. 4 : British hate preacher Anjem Choudary has controversially demanded capital punishment for Koran-bashing author Sebastian Faulks if he is found guilty under sharia law.
“Mr Faulks was extremely naïve for what he said and it could have some grave consequence for him. Someone like this needs to be assessed in an Islamic court of law and if he’s found guilty then there would be capital punishment,” the Daily Express quoted him, as saying.
“Just as we chopping the hand off a thief and stoning the adulterer, we have for the one who insults the Prophet the death penalty,” he added.
Last week, Faulks had attracted Muslim community’s wrath by describing Koran as “the rantings of a schizophrenic” and “very disappointing from a literary point of view”.
Faulks, the author of James Bond novel Devil May Care, had said that the words of Prophet Mohammed were "one-dimensional", and had criticised the Koran for not telling stories, like the Old Testament.
Although Faulks has apologised for calling Koran the “rantings of a schizophrenic,” Islam4UK a radical group associated with Choudary posted an article on its website entitled, “Sebastian Faulks on a Death Wish?”
“May Allah punish the oppressors and deal with the slanderers,” it added.
Alexander Meleagrou-Hitchens, of the Centre for Social Cohesion, said: “Choudary and his followers are seeking to impose their will on the population of this country through subversion and incitement to violence.
“The weakness of Choudary’s fascist ideology could not be better illustrated than by his inability to provide an intellectual response to criticism, instead resorting to veiled threats and intimidation.”
However, Faulks declined to comment. His spokeswoman said: “He apologises if his comments about the Koran have offended Muslims.” (ANI)

I think Britain is about to find out why having two parallel legal systems is a bad thing.
Didn’t this loser’s daughter run away to become a pornstar?
seems to me the author had it about right.
If this extremist guy wants to live like he’s in the mediaeval dark ages, then he can piss off back to some tribal desert hole land and stop bothering the rest of us with his drivel. Why don’t they all just do it and stop annoying my ear drums with their incessant dirge of “insults”.
Anjem Choudary needs to be flown half way back to Pakistan.
And to think that our founding fathers claimed the “rights of Englishmen” and incorporated those ideas into our constitution. England had better start standing up for freedom of expression, religion and association.
FU, Choudray, and your little pedophile dog,mohamhead too.
“Anjem Choudary needs to be flown half way back to Pakistan.”
On a non-stop flight!
Warfare against a group of fanatics who have to stop and kneel and kowtow however many times a day would present the infantryman with a large number of predictible sitting-duck targets. Mosques are also very target-rich environments. Don’t these loonies read history - like WWII? Do they think the Brits are pansies?
Brown is no Churchill. If they were brave (or smart) they would have started dealing with this problem sooner.
If we're smart, we'll start dealing with it now. Maybe we can get away with little to no violence.
“Didn’t this loser’s daughter run away to become a pornstar?”
Hope not, she’s only 8. I think you are talking of Omar Bakri’s daughter. She is a pole dancer.
My own run away daughter became a ship cleaner, and a mother.
I’m sure Britain will be knucking under to requests such as this. Perhaps not today, but its coming soon.
Screw mohammad and buldoze all the mosques. islam is not a religion, it is a political and social construct. OK, now come and get me Choudary......
