Profile: Abu Hamza
Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Masri is one of the most distinctive radical Islamic figures in Britain.
Condemned by many Muslims as too extreme, the former Soho nightclub bouncer denies any involvement in terrorism.

But the 47-year-old has also defiantly justified the attacks in New York and Washington in September 2001.

Now he has been arrested in London on an extradition warrant issued by the US government.

He was born Mustafa Kamel Mustafa in Alexandria, Egypt, to middle-class parents. In 1979, he came to London with plans to become a civil engineer.

Divorce

He studied in Brighton and later worked as a doorman in the West End.

He married a western woman, Valerie Fleming, in 1981 and received his British citizenship, although the Home Office is currently trying to have that removed.


 Bin Laden is a good guy. Everyone likes him in the Muslim world, there is nothing wrong with the man and his beliefs
Abu Hamza 

Ms Fleming is reported as saying her ex-husband became more radical after their marriage and the couple divorced five years later.
In Afghanistan, he sustained the injuries to his hand and eye - apparently clearing landmines for the Mujahideen - that make him such a distinct figure.

He has also claimed to have worked in the Muslim community in Bosnia.

Son jailed

In 1999, Abu Hamza was questioned by Scotland Yard detectives on suspicion of terrorism offences in Yemen.

He was held for several days before being released without charge. He has always maintained his innocence.

The Yemeni authorities had requested his arrest and extradition, claiming he was linked to plots to bomb targets there.


In the same year, his son Mohammed Mustafa Kamel was sentenced to three years in prison in Yemen for his involvement in a terrorist bombing campaign when aged 17.

He returned to Britain in 2002 after completing his sentence.

Abu Hamza runs Supporters of Sharia, which is a group dedicated to the rule of Islamic law.

In 2002 he addressed a rally in central London called by the radical Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, where members spoke of their support for al-Qaeda.

But he strongly denies American suggestions he recruits al-Qaeda terrorists.


 Many people will be happy, jumping up and down [after September 11]. America is a crazy superpower and what was done was done in self-defence
Abu Hamza 

His most infamous comments include praise for Osama Bin Laden and warnings to the UK Government about the consequences of attacking Iraq.
These have provoked as much condemnation from within Islam as from outside. Many Muslims say he only represents a few hundred people.

In February 2003, he was banned from preaching at the mosque by the Charity Commission but he continued to speak from the street outside.

Home Secretary David Blunkett believes the radical cleric is linked to international terrorism but attempts to strip his British citizenship and deport him to Yemen have been delayed.

An appeal against the decision to deport him was due in January 2005.

OpTiCaL:
i dont have any love for this guy...not because he is muslim i have muslim friends


but because he has puported racial hatred in a country where he has been claiming assylum for something like 20 yrs...


...gathering people, incensing them, spreading word so that more people believe his vile, rancid "truth" and hates spreads...

...so its ok to claim benefits...get house, everything paid for him by the country and its tax payers...but he still wants them killed...government abolished and all that makes the coutry to be broken


im not saying the coutry is perfect...far from it but it offers everyone...even people like him safety, security and an ability to live in comparitive wealth... (even more than its own)

they should just send him back and face the hatred he has in his own country..then he may feel again what terror is like and know the effect of his actions here upon us

Mindless Minority:
Hopefully a lifer will stick a blade in his heart.
