“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”).”

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.’
