An exiled terrorist cleric warns a British Muslim boxer not to wear the Union Jack.
I have no great love for boxing – not for any type of flag waving – but I’m perfectly willing to make an exception in the case of British boxer Amir Khan.
In this case the enemy of a mad Islamist cleric is definitely my friend:
British boxer Amir Khan is setting a bad example to Muslims by wearing the Union Flag with pride, radical cleric Omar Bakri Mohammad has told the Sun.
“Amir Khan is not a good example for Muslims. He wears shorts with the Union Jack. That is a sin,” he told newspaper. “He should not be wearing the flag because sovereignty is for God. His only allegiance should be to the Prophet Mohammed. The ideal situation would be to have a Muslim team not registered to any state so he can represent the Islamic community.”
The Commonwealth lightweight title-holder, who is from Bolton, Lancashire, is draped with the Union Flag in photos on his official website and often wears shorts featuring the emblem.
Bakri has mentored a number of young Muslims who were later convicted of involvement in terror plots. Bakri encouraged his followers to train in boxing in order to help turn their ideological zeal towards violence. The cleric now lives in the Lebanon and has been banned from returning to Britain, although his wife and seven children still live in Edmonton.
So, fuck Bakri, obviously – and all the other pathetic hate-mongers. As for this cancerous cleric’s devout wish to have a stateless team of boxing Muslims, representing the Islamic community: well, he and anyone inclined to follow his poisonous lead could just drop dead.
There are, as they say, no pockets in a shroud – and neither are passports required to enter death’s most democratic domain. May we wish him Allah’s speed to reach this destination as soon (and painfully) as possible.
