and dust off the riot act to ban these thugs. The thug Bakri and his counterpart Choudhery lived off of benefits and made a mockery of laws, welfare, charity and now their army. I still believe it is a manageable problem if more of these goons are taken off the streets and kept away from impressionable muslim kids in a multi-cultural society so that they can grow up and be something other than jihadis and suicide bombers. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
UK moves to ban controversial Islamist group
Britain's government said Tuesday it will ban an Islamist group whose proposed protest march through a town known for honoring British soldiers killed in Afghanistan drew national outrage.
The group, Islam4UK, will be banned starting Thursday, said Home Secretary Alan Johnson. The move will allow authorities to arrest people who meet in the group's name and seize its assets.

Bakri's group argues that, as Muslims, they're not bound by British law and has expressed support for bin Laden and al-Qaida. In its previous incarnation as al-Muhajiroun, the group was linked to several terror suspects and was accused of recruiting British Muslims to fight in Afghanistan and Chechnya. Bakri has acknowledged that some of al-Muhajiroun members have engaged in militant attacks but says the group can't be held responsible for their actions.
Bakri, who was deported from Britain in 2005, added that, whatever happened, his followers could regroup under a different name.
"Tomorrow we can call ourselves whatever we think is suitable for us," he said.
