Exposed: The mad hatter


THE father who made his baby wear an "I love al-Qaeda" hat at a demo is an extremist friend of hate preacher Abu Hamza, The Sun can reveal.
Abu Jihad, 38, boasted his 20-month-old daughter Farisa was "the youngest member" of Osama Bin Laden’s terror group.
He ranted that Westerners should be killed and anyone who insulted Islam was a "legitimate target".
Jihad — whose surname means holy war — hates everything non-Muslim.
He and hook-handed Hamza, 47, worshipped together at the notorious Finsbury Park Mosque.
Jihad was photographed as he protested outside the Old Bailey against Hamza’s seven- year jail sentence for terror offences on Tuesday.
Four days earlier he and his wife caused outrage when they brought innocent Farisa in the sick hat to a protest outside the Danish Embassy in London.
Fanatics had reacted with fury to mocking cartoons of prophet Mohammed printed in Denmark. Extremists waved banners reading "Massacre those who insult Islam" and "Europe, your 9/11 will come".
During the hate-filled demo, Jihad had showed off his daughter and said: "Would you like to meet the youngest member of al-Qaeda?"
He ranted: "The cartoonists and publishers need to be handed over to al-Qaeda or the Taliban. France, Norway, Denmark, whoever publishes these pictures — kill them."
As well as being a pal of Hamza, Jihad is a member of radical Islamic group the Saviour Sect, an offshoot of ranting cleric Omar Bakri’s al-Muhajiroun group.
Bakri had praised the London bombers — then fled Britain for fear of being charged with terror offences.Jihad is married to a white British-born woman who converted to Islam.
They live in North London close to the Finsbury Park Mosque, which was described as Bin Laden’s British HQ.
Jihad was a regular worshipper there when Hamza was its imam and it was a notorious recruiting centre for terrorists.
But he has since told friends the mosque is now too moderate.
He now prays with fellow extremists at private homes and local community centres.
HAMZA sold a flat for £228,000 while he was in jail, it was claimed yesterday.
The sale in September 2004 happened when Hamza was behind bars after his arrest on a US extradition warrant.
He claims the flat in Hammersmith, West London, belonged to his son Mustafa Kamel.
The sale was revealed at a hearing at the Old Bailey to investigate Hamza’s assets to see whether he can contribute to the legal aid which is paying the costs of his defence.
