THE Muslim extremist who heckled Home Secretary John Reid was yesterday allowed 12 minutes on BBC radio to vent his spleen at Britain — and claim his people were "ready to explode".
Abu Izzadeen called Tony Blair a murderer and a terrorist, and said Our Boys fighting abroad were anti-Islam crusaders.
"Community leader" Izzadeen caused outrage when he warned Mr Reid not to come to a "Muslim area".
On Radio 4’s Today show, presented by John Humphrys, he ranted: "I’m telling you we have had enough.
"We’ve had enough of the police raids, the shootings at Forest Gate, the arrests in Walthamstow and in restaurants under the guise of a war on terror which everyone knows is a war on Muslims."
He warned the Government: "If they don’t stop this there will be a very strong reaction from the Muslim community."
The BBC was deluged by complaints from listeners that Izzadeen — a Jamaican who converted to Islam and used to be called Trevor Brooks — was given a platform for his perverted rants.
Labour MP Andrew Dismore said: "I wish the media wouldn’t give people like this the oxygen of publicity."
Shadow Attorney General Dominic Grieve said: "Abu Izzadeen is a malevolent, religious fanatic but is certainly not representative of the Muslim community."
Izzadeen is said to be an ex-spokesman of radical Islamic group al-Ghurabaa — banned in the UK.
Mr Dismore added: "Police need to take more active steps to deal with him."
