Interesting interview with Omar Bakri May 1st 2008. He talks about his exit from the UK, his views on his "Islamic duties" here, where he went wrong, The Quilliam Foundation etc. Fascinating stuff.
If we were extreme from the truth then we deserved condemnation but clearly we were extreme from the falsehood. Recent events have vindicated our ideas and approach. But now unfortunately I am no longer in the UK to play a useful role. However, I believe we succeeded in laying the seeds for robust Islamic activism in the UK. Nevertheless, the most disgruntled and radical youths are currently not receiving any proper guidance and direction. So they have turned to Sheikh Google [ie the Internet] for direction. This has increased the threat of terrorism. These people will adopt and implement what is suitable for Afghanistan in the UK.
