Almost half of Britain’s mosques are under the control of a hardline Islamic
sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims
to “shed blood” for Allah, an investigation by The Times has
found.
Riyadh ul Haq, who supports armed jihad and preaches contempt for Jews,
Christians and Hindus, is in line to become the spiritual leader of the
Deobandi sect in Britain. The ultra-conservative movement, which gave birth
to the Taleban in Afghanistan, now runs more than 600 of Britain’s 1,350
mosques, according to a police report seen by The Times.
Mr ul Haq, 36, was educated and trained at an Islamic seminary in Britain and
is part of a new generation of British imams who share a similar radical
agenda.
He heaps scorn on any Muslims who say they are “proud to be British”
and argues that friendship with a Jew or a Christian makes “a mockery of
Allah’s religion”.
