Uninvited

posted by: Nick Lowles | on: Friday, 10 February 2012, 11:18


A couple of days ago I blogged about the London School of Economics Students’ Union cancelling a meeting that was to addressed by the radical Islamist preacher, Haitham Al Haddad. I also mentioned that he was due to address an event at East London Mosque on 18 March organised by the Lewisham Islamic Centre.

I now understand that Haitham Al Haddad will no longer be attending this event as it appears his invitation to speak has been withdrawn.

I blogged about Haitham Al Haddad because his views are simply outrageous. He is reported to have branded Jews “the enemies of God, and the descendants of apes and pigs” and has quoted the notorious antisemitic forgery, theProtocols of the Elders of Zion. He has also cited the declaration that “Jews and Christians to be kuffer, and the necessity of hating them, and avoiding them”.

He believes women are not equal and he heads a Sharia “court” that advises women who have been raped as children that if they don’t have sex with their husband on demand, the “angels will curse” them.

It is because of such people that the EDL formed. They know not the code of conduct in Islam and have ruined the real etiquette through their lack of knowledge. P.S Just thought i'd comment, but I know they never get displayed. :)) aneela

Are you sure this Al-Haddad guy is beyond the pale? He seems pretty mainstream, popping up on ads in the fried chicken shop, popping up in YouTube ads encouraging Muslims to vote, and has a jolly, reasonable, demeanour. It's a big thing to say that he's unacceptable, and apparently he denies it. Couldn't you simply be falling for Islamophobic propoganda?
