 #307: 05-19-03 MUKHTAR AL-BAKRI PLEADS GUILTY TO PROVIDING MATERIAL SUPPORT TO AL QAEDA
Al Bakri’s plea states that while all the defendants named in the indictment and other individuals were at al Farooq, bin Laden appeared there and spoke about the alliance of al Qaeda and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, and threatened America and Israel.
Al-Bakri admitted that he traveled to al Farooq with Goba and others, and over a period of several weeks, he worked under the direction and control of members of the al Qaeda organization.
Al Qaeda was first designated an FTO in October 1999; that two-year designation was renewed in October 2001.

 MEMRI:
Bakri said that Bilal's brothers and cousins had also been trained by Al-Muhajirun, and that Bilal's parents were "proud of their son's sacrifice." He added that he had recruited 600 British Muslims in universities and mosques to fight in Kashmir.
The Paris-based Intelligence Newsletter reported that Bakri was recruited at an early age by the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood movement, and participated in its leader's, Issam Al-Attar, revolt against then-Syrian President Hafez Assad that was "drowned in blood in 1982 at Hamat." As a result, he was expelled from Syria and moved to Beirut.
Bakri also said that in such a case he would not "condemn the killers."[12]

 Imam's fiery message speaks to radical British Muslims
Bakri presents an intriguing message to young, frustrated Muslim men who feel ostracized from mainstream British culture and alienated from their tradition-bound parents, most of whom were born in Pakistan and Bangladesh and have little notion of what it is like to grow up as a Muslim in the West.
Bakri, the founder of al-Muhajiroun (the Emigrants), a radical group whose goal is the worldwide domination of Islam, held off his critics by saying that Muslims in Britain lived under a "covenant of security" that prevented them from bringing any harm to the nation that sheltered them.
Bakri's message resonates with young British Muslims, who are bombarded by daily images, on television and the Internet, of Palestinian suffering, fighting in Fallujah and the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison.

 Defiant UK Muslim Leader Denies Providing Training -- 10/11/2001
In an interview Tuesday, Bakri denied allegations that his organization is militant and that he is involved in sending young British Muslims to the United States to participate in paramilitary training.
At the same time, Bakri improbably suggests that "there is an elite in the British government collaborating with the (neo-Nazi) National Front and tabloid newspapers." He is not shy about his ultimate aims.
Bakri is a judge of the UK shari'a (Islamic law) court and his organization treads a fine line between professing to be peaceful members of the British community and issuing death threats to be carried out in the Islamic world.

Bakri described plans to backdate the charges against him to include past speeches as “sheer madness” because he has been “preaching in the name of God in sermons and lectures in Britain for almost 20 years.” He wondered, “If I had broken the law in my speeches, why have I not be arrested and interrogated?”
Bakri repeated his call for Muslims to support their long-suffering brethren in Palestine, Chechnya, and Kashmir.
London, Asharq Al-Awsat - Omar Bakri Mohammed, the fundamentalist leader and founder of al-Muhajiroun group and its successor al Ghuraba (the foreigners in Arabic), both banned by the British government last Friday, indicated he planned to leave London voluntarily prior to being expelled by the authorities who, allegedly, will backdate the charges brought against him.

 newswire: Omar Bakri, banned in UK, setting up shop in MidEast
Bakri was one of several prominent radical Muslim preachers and activists whose use of Britain as a base to promote jihadi ideology--and allegedly to encourage the recruitment of jihadi fighters--caused some foreign intelligence and security officials to label the U.K. capital "Londonistan" because of its supposedly welcoming attitude toward the radicals.
Bakri, nicknamed the "Tottenham Ayatollah" or "Tottenham Taliban" by the tabloids (after the North London neighborhood where he operated Al Muhajiroun from a government-subsidized industrial park), has been a focus of controversy in Britain since the early 1990s when prime minister John Major notoriously labeled him a legitimate assassination target.
One of Al Muhajiroun's principal objectives, as outlined to journalists by Bakri, was to replace Britain's democratic government with a regime based on Sharia, Islamic religious law.
