bakri wants out of lebanon.

Omar Bakri, the former leader of the now-disbanded Al Muhajiroun, currently living in Lebanon after being expelled from Britain, doesn’t seem to find the jihad to his liking now that Israel is fighting back, and he wants the Royal Navy to escort him to safety: Rat tries to join our ship.
The sheer gall of this loathsome creature is beyond imagining, begging for help from the country he hates and wants to destroy: Barred Islamist preacher refused evacuation from Lebanon.
An Islamist preacher barred from Britain for his radical views has said that he had tried to join the British evacuation from Lebanon but had been turned away.
Omar Bakri Mohammed, speaking from Beirut, said he had been prevented from boarding a naval warship evacuating Britons from the chaos because he did not have a British passport.
Bakri, who lived in London until his exile last August, said he had asked British authorities to rescue him from the violence in Lebanon for the sake of his family, who are still living in Britain. or to be helped to travel to Cyprus where he can meet his family.
“I know controversy surrounds all the news about me, I am myself accepting my destiny. But I have the right like anybody else to look for safety,” Bakri told Sky News television after being turned away from the ship on Thursday.
The preacher claimed he had written to the British embassy, asking to be allowed back on humanitarian grounds. “I applied for them to give me a visitor’s visa, not to appeal against the decision to withdraw my indefinite leave to stay in the UK,” he told BBC radio by mobile telephone from the Lebanese capital.


Go Bak to your hole

SPINELESS hate preacher Omar Bakri fled to the hills yesterday after Britain rejected his pathetic plea to escape the war.
The Muslim cleric, who ran away from Britain last year, had tried to board a ship full of women and children but was turned away.
He scurried to the mountain town of Aley, above Beirut, yesterday after Israeli missiles fell two miles from his his luxury flat.
The repulsive fanatic — who hailed suicide bombers as "magnificent martyrs" and in an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme after the Tel Aviv suicide bombings in 2003 he appeared to endorse terrorist attacks by British Muslims, saying al-Muhajiroun would "encourage people to fulfil their Islamic duties and responsibilities". But he added that the group was a political movement and did not take responsibility for the actions of any individuals.but called for an Israeli-Hezbollah ceasefire yesterday — clearly had no intention of laying down his life.
From the safety of the town’s swish Highland Hotel, Bakri, 46, launched into his familiar rant against Britain and Tony Blair.
He later nodded at morning prayers at the local mosque as the imam urged all Muslims to fight to the death for Hezbollah. I confronted the former dole scrounger as he left and asked why he was not willing to be a Hezbollah martyr.
He replied nonsensically: "You will not force your views on me."
Then he ranted: "What has this fight got to do with me? I am Lebanese. If you are British your Government treats you like a human being but if you are not British you are treated like an animal."
Bakri, a father of six and grandfather of four, left his family in Britain living on dole handouts.
His bid at Beirut port on Thursday morning to get on any British vessel ferrying evacuees to Cyprus was blocked by officials.
Predictably, Bakri blasted Britain for not letting him in, even though he has only a Lebanese passport. He said: "The embassy told me we are not dealing with visit applications, only British citizens who want to get out on a ship.
"I said, ‘What about my children in the UK who are concerned about their father? I don’t care what you think about me’. But they wouldn’t listen because I’m not a British citizen any more.
"I left Britain of my own free will and have never been charged with any offence. This has happened because I support the Palestinians, Iraq and Lebanon. All Muslims should unite and call for a ceasefire — but Tony Blair doesn’t want that. He wants bombing."

Bakri left his family last August and went to Lebanon after a Sun campaign to kick him out. Charles Clarke, then Home Secretary, revoked his indefinite leave to remain in the UK.
In March he boasted: "When I left England I bought a one-way ticket out. I never want to see it again."
But he changed his tune as soon as the Hezbollah guerillas he supports sparked the Israeli attacks.
In 22 years in the UK, Bakri sponged £300,000 in benefits. He preached violence and called the 9/11 terrorists the Magnificent 19. His preachings are thought to have encouraged British suicide bombers Omar Sharif and Asif Hanif.
