Radical UK Imam Arrested

LGF has the whole story, but the video is condemning enough.

Hot Air has more background on the story, and insight on the media coverage.

SkyNews: The radical Muslim who barracked Home Secretary John Reid in front of television news cameras last year, has been arrested for allegedly encouraging terrorism.

Abu Izzadeen, 31, was held in Leyton High Road, east London, under Section 1 of the Terrorism Act 2006.

Scotland Yard said it related to an "on-going inquiry".

It is understood to relate to a speech he gave in the West Midlands area - thought to be Birmingham - last year.

That speech apparently pre-dates the widely publicised incident in September when Izzadeen heckled Mr Reid as he addressed a 30-strong group of Muslims in Leyton.

Radical Muslim leader Anjem Choudhury responded to news of his arrest by saying that Muslims were now the subject of a "witchhunt".

In September last year, Izzadeen hijacked Mr Reid's attempt to connect with British Muslims.

Izzadeen interrupted the Home Secretary and launched into an angry tirade.

"How dare you come to a Muslim area when over 1,000 Muslims have been arrested?" he said. "You are an enemy of Islam and Muslims, you are a tyrant. Shame on all of us for sitting down and listening to him."

Continuing his diatribe, Izzadeen said Mr Reid, Tony Blair and George Bush could "all go to hell".

Izzadeen first came to public prominence after refusing to condemn the 7/7 London bombings. Instead, he described the attacks as "mujahideen activity" which would make people "wake up and smell the coffee".

Izzadeen's coffee smells like jail time.
