A HATE-FILLED poster urging Muslims to “rise against British oppression” has been put up in the chippie where a 7/7 bomber worked. Locals were stunned by the leaflet, which advertises a Downing Street demo.
It tells Muslims to visit an anti-cop website that has the logo: “Police Target Muslims. Will You Be Next?”
The Ocean Fisheries chippie used to be owned by the family of suicide bomber Shehzad Tanweer, 22.
He worked there before he blew himself up on a London Tube — killing seven of the 52 people who died in terror attacks on July 7, 2005.
he shop is in Beeston, Leeds, where two other 7/7 bombers — Mohammad Sidique Khan and Hasib Mir Hussain — also grew up.
Tanweer’s family is understood to have no connection with the chippie now.
The shop’s sign says its owner is Neil Kay, but it is not clear if he still has a connection with it. An Asian man claiming to be the owner yesterday refused to give his name.
He said of the poster: “I can only read a little. There is nothing wrong with it.” When told about the website he shrugged his shoulders.
A colleague said: “I don’t think he’s bothered.”
The website initially urges people to “demonstrate peacefully” on June 15.
However, it then carries a series of inflammatory statements and gives advice on how to react if arrested under the Terrorism Act.
It is registered in the name of Faruk Miah but gives a false Manchester address.
Philip Davies, Tory MP for Shipley, West Yorks, said putting up the poster in the chippie was “insensitive.”
He added: “Anything calling for a rising up against Britain is completely unacceptable.
“There are plenty of countries where people really do know about oppression, and Britain is not one of them.
“If people don’t like it here they should leave.”
Former Leeds mayor Mohammed Iqbal said: “It’s shocking that people are doing this in this place. It is insensitive to the July 7 victims and families.”
