Hardline Islamist Group To Be Banned
Mark White, Home Affairs correspondent

The radical islamist group that sparked outrage with its proposed march through the Wiltshire town of Wootton Bassett is to be outlawed.


Anjem Choudary heads the controversial Islamist group


Home Secretary Alan Johnson will use anti-terror powers to proscribe the organisation Al Muhajiroun and its latest offshoot Islam4UK.

The move means it will be a criminal offence to become a member of these groups, or to attend or address any meetings in their name.........................................

This is not from the Daily Mail as has become a chant on here from the regular "Newsies" but breaking News this morning on Sky, at last something is being done about this motley crew who are in favour of Sharia Law being used in this country, he's banned such organisations and their "spin offs" Now I am pleased this has happed, you can call me racist for it as certain ones do, I am not, but I do feel common sense has prevailed...at least till the next show of utter contempt for the hand (benefits) that feed them !

//The law requires that they be involved in terrorism - just being a bunch of deeply unpopular people at election time is not. //

Shame, I was hoping we could get the government locked up on that basis.

[Bobbisox]

as unpopular as it may seem, I think in this climate of terrorism, the laws should be tightened even further, enough of the softly softly approach, where has it got us????

[Gromit]

I am sure the Labour Party have good reason to want to keep an octogenarian out of their Conference, so stronger Anti Terror Laws may be needed.

I was under the impression this man does have connections with terrorism, has shared stages with convicted terrorists and promoted runaway cleric Hooky. This was reported in the press yesterday.

No doubt inaddition the Security services have something on him that perhaps we are not privvy to. In the interests of National security not every fact is given to every handwringing pinko you know.

We are constantly told that all Muslims don't wish us harm, well maybe that is true, perhaps there are many that are prepared to integrate into British society, although not many show it.

The others are out and out extremists, these are the ones that are prepared to blow themselves up along with many others.

Since Anjem Choudary and his followers are obviously extremists, they should not have got off so light, they should have been intensively questioned, DNA and fingerprints samples taken, passports confiscated and the benefits they receive reviewed.

It is heartening to see your trust in the truthfulness of Mr Brown and his Government. Well done.

They haven't been found guilty, they have just been told they are an illegal organisation. No legal process, other than the pronouncement of Alan Johnson has taken place.

I think ahmskunnirt is getting confused with this equally motley crew.

But this is quite easily done, because these days there are so many of these fanatics amongst us, it's time we took the 'Bull by the Horns' and flushed them all out, and jailed the lot of them.

What are we frightened about, are we scared we might disturb the 'Hornets Nest'? Well so be it lets get it over with.

[Bobbisox]

I am sooo sick of the handling of such vermin...with velvet gloves, no wonder they laugh at us !

[Quinlad]

I remember a bunch of angry fanatics taking to the street a couple of decades ago. They were so full of anger and bile they attacked her majesty's constabulary and injured police horses.

These traitors failed to respect British legislation that had been put in place by the British government.

They should have been hanged. Then deported. Then hanged again.

If only we'd had this handy anti-terrorist legislation then, maybe the Poll Tax protests would have been avoided.

[R1Geezer]

Yes I agree quinny and perhaps we'd also now have a proper system for local governement funding, but that's another discussion.
