Anjem Choudary, Radical Islamist Preacher
By Aaron Klein & Breitbart News
During an exclusive interview on Sunday, Britain’s most notorious radical Islamist preacher, Anjem Choudary, provided support for suspended Labour MP Naz Shah’s controversial Facebook post suggesting the relocation of Israel to the United States.
Choudary also defended the British Labour Party generally from charges of anti-Semitism, saying, “I think that the term anti-Semitism has been used as a tool to attack those who criticize Israel. And I think that’s become clear over the last few days.”
He was speaking in a joint interview with Breitbart News and this reporter’s Sunday night weekend talk radio program, “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio.”
Regarding Shah’s advocacy of relocating the Jewish state to Israel, Choudary stated:
As far as Muslims are concerned, we want the whole of Palestine, which includes what Israel currently occupies, liberated. And I think that what Naz Shah said is not that far from what we would prefer, which is that those who came to occupy the Muslim land of Palestine should be returned from where they came.
They are free to live in Russia and Poland and other places. But obviously do not occupy our land so that we are refugees in our own land.
Choudary ignored the existence of historic Jewish communities that have lived in Israel continuously for hundreds of years. And he glossed over the history of Jewish refugees immigrating to Israel because they were forced to flee their homes throughout the Arab world after the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948.
Choudary is a founder of the outlawed, pro-al-Qaida Al Muhajiroun organization in Britain. He is currently awaiting trial in the U.K. for allegedly encouraging support for the Islamic State.
