SNIPPET: "British Jihadi Anjem Choudary Tweets

On March 19, 2011, British jihadi Anjem Choudary, spokesman for the banned Islam4UK organization, co-founder of Al-Muhajiroun, and spiritual advisor to the UK Islamist group Muslims Against Crusades (MAC),[18] launched a Twitter account and began tweeting. MAC made headlines last week for threatening a British MP who subsequently called on their activities to be closely monitored by law enforcement.[19] According to his Twitter account, Choudary is "a Muslim who believes that Islam is something we must believe in (Tawheed), live by (Shari'ah) and struggle and sacrifice for (by way of Daw'ah and Jihad)."[20]

In addition to tweeting his views to his followers, Choudary uses Twitter for disseminating and linking to his videos on YouTube, for announcing collaboration with other jihadi groups, and for calling on his followers in the U.K. and U.S. to launch protests.

Choudary's tweets include calls for a return to the Caliphate; for shari'a law to replace the U.S. Constitution; for Islam to conquer the White House and U.K.; for Islam to take over the world; for Libyans to declare jihad and annex other countries; and for Allah to destroy the enemies of Islam, as well as praise for Anwar Al-Awlaki and Osama bin Laden and much more. In one notable tweet, dated today, Choudary warns those who "support" Charlie Hebdo, the French satirical political weekly – which this week published an attack on radical Islam, with Islam's Prophet Muhammad as "guest editor" and as a result had its offices firebombed and its website cyber-attacked – to "take lessons from Theo Van Gogh," the Dutch film director assassinated by jihadi Mohammed Bouyeri in November 2004 for his film Submission which criticized the treatment of women in Islam."

Inquiry & Analysis Series Report No.723

“Shari’a Movement Struggles to Globalize Campaign for Islamizing Western World”
By: R. Green*

Introduction

Over recent years, a new phenomenon has emerged among radical Islamist circles: the rise of a global network of groups calling for the total Islamization of Western states and societies via the implementation of shari’a law, the abolishment of democratic states and their replacement by Islamic regimes.
These groups, which have referred to themselves as the global shari’a movement, strive to globalize ideas and tactics hatched within radical Islamist circles in the U.K. These circles are led by Sheikh ‘Omar Bakri, who was denied reentry into the country after he left for Lebanon following the 2005 London bombings, and his disciple Anjem Choudary, who founded several groups in the country that have since been banned by the British authorities.

Choudary has significant influence and involvement in most, if not all, of the groups which are part of the so-called global shari’a movement, whether directly or in inspiration, moral support or guidance. His name regularly appears on their websites, YouTube clips, and Facebook pages. For instance, the contact page on the Shariah4usa website provides contact information for Choudary, as well as for Bakri and for Ibrahim Siddiq Conlon, the head of Sharia4australia who recently posted a letter of support for Choudary on his Facebook page.[1]

Such groups have adopted Bakri and Choudary’s worldview and modus operandi in openly calling for and demonstrating in favor of the establishment of Islamic rule, while opposing democracy as a political ideal and system, condemning freedom, and protesting the West’s alleged crimes against Muslims. However, despite the image they have attempted to create, and despite meriting some media attention in the countries where they operate, the groups lack a substantial presence on the ground, with the exception of the U.K.-based groups, whose relatively high numbers and effective organization enable them to be more active – and, as a result, to enjoy considerably larger publicity in the media. The most tangible presence of these groups, especially those outside the U.K., is on online social networks, namely YouTube and Facebook.

The groups and figures that propagate Bakri and Choudary’s ideology include:
- Sharia4uk or Islam4uk and its reincarnations in the U.K., such as Muslims Against Crusades”

“UK Home Office Bans ‘Terror Organization’ Muslims Against Crusades; Group Spokesman Anjem Choudary Still Communicating Via Twitter, YouTube”

SNIPPET: “On November 9, the UK Home Office banned the British Islamist organization Muslims Against Crusades (MAC). This means that membership, holding meetings, or wearing clothing or “articles” to show support for the organization are now criminal offenses punishable by up to 10 years in jail.[1]
A week ago, MEMRI published an extensive report on the twitter activity of British jihadi Anjem Choudary, who is the group’s spiritual advisor and press spokesman as well as spokesman for the banned Islam4UK organization and co-founder of Al-Muhajiroun (see MEMRI Inquiry and Analysis No. 755, “Deleting Online Jihad on Twitter: The Case of British Jihadi Anjem Choudary – Tweeting for the Caliphate and the Conquest of the White House”).”

http://www.homeoffice.gov.uk/media-centre/news/mac-proscription

Terror organisation proscribed

Wednesday, 09 Nov 2011

The Home Secretary Theresa May today laid an Order proscribing Muslims Against Crusades effective from midnight tonight.

She said: ‘I have today laid an Order which will proscribe Muslims Against Crusades from midnight tonight. This means being a member of or supporting the organisation will be a criminal offence.

‘I am satisfied Muslims Against Crusades is simply another name for an organisation already proscribed under a number of names including Al Ghurabaa, The Saved Sect, Al Muhajiroun and Islam4UK. The organisation was proscribed in 2006 for glorifying terrorism and we are clear it should not be able to continue these activities by simply changing its name.’

“BOMB PLOTTERS ARE MY STUDENTS, ADMITS CHOUDARY”

5th February 2012
By Dominik Lemanski

“HARDLINE Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary taught six of the nine fanatics jailed last week for plotting to bomb London.

The firebrand cleric even praised the terror gang as “decent young chaps”.”

SNIPPET: “The plotters, British citizens, last week pleaded guilty to preparing for acts of terrorism.

They admitted plotting to blow up the London Stock Exchange in a “Mumbaistyle” blitz.

And the al-Qaida-inspired gang also planned attacks on the American Embassy and Houses of Parliament . The radical Islamists intended to send mail bombs to prominent targets including London Mayor Boris Johnson.”

“Police file sedition case against UK clerics planning Sharia march in city”
by VijaitaSingh
Posted: Feb 29, 2012 at 0052 hrs IST

SNIPPET: “New Delhi The Delhi Police on Tuesday registered a case of sedition and communal hatred against two UK-based radical Islamic preachers who have called for a procession around Parliament on March 3 to enforce Sharia law in the country.

London-based Anjem Choudary, who floated the website, sharia4hind.com, detailing the plan for the procession, said that his travel arrangements were in order and he would be in Delhi on March 3. He said his group has booked a hotel here for a video conference with one of their leaders based in Lebanon.

The website was blocked after a public interest litigation was filed in the Delhi High Court last week.

The police have registered a case under sections 124A (sedition), 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion), 295A (deliberate act to outrage religious feelings) of the IPC and 66 Information Technology (IT) Act on the basis of an email reply by Abu Baraa, a British citizen of Bangladesh origin and chairman of sharia4hind.”

“UK Islamist Leader: Islam Will Dominate America”

By Erick Stakelbeck
CBN News Terrorism Analyst
Friday, August 10, 2012

SNIPPET: “LONDON — They’ve been called “megaphone jihadists,” radical Muslims who take to the streets of Western cities demanding Islamic sharia law.

It’s a rising movement in Europe that also shows signs of growth in America.

Meet Anjem Choudary”

SNIPPET: “Choudary’s public support for jihad against British troops keeps his group on the radar of the country’s intelligence services.

Some of his followers have been arrested on terrorism charges.”

SNIPPET: “But Choduary gives no guarantees whether that will be the case. For now, he’s encouraged by the Islamist regimes coming to power as result of the so-called Arab Spring and takes it as a sign that his goal of a global caliphate is inevitable.”

By Erick Stakelbeck

Monday, April 05, 2010

WASHINGTON —

SNIPPET: “Choudary is the leader of Islam4UK, a group recently banned in Britain under the country’s counter-terrorism laws. He wants Islamic Sharia law to rule the United Kingdom and is working to make that dream a reality.

While Islamic radicals in the United States usually prefer to speak in more moderate tones while in public, masking their true agenda, Choudary has no such inhibitions.”

SNIPPET: “Choudary says his group is merely following core Islamic teachings and that Islam is much more than a religion.”
