The Sun has an exclusive report about the eldest son of Abu “Hook” Hamza, who is following in daddy’s footsteps by spreading hate through music.

Jailed cleric Abu Hamza’s terrorist son is spreading words of hate ‚Äî as a rapper.

 

Mohammed Kamel Mostafa’s song lyrics rant about waging Jihad (holy war) and carrying weapons, and praise banned Middle East terrorist groups Hezbollah and Hamas.

 

In one he raps: “I was born to be a soldier, Kalashnikov in my shoulder, peace to Hamas and Hezbollah, that‚Äôs the way of the lord Allah . . . we’re Jihad through, defend my religion with the holy sword.‚Äù He also sings of his Islamic “brothers” who vowed to die for Allah.

 

Mostafa, 24 — dubbed MC Hamza by his henchmen — has played venues ranging from Wembley Arena to Oxford University.

 

He launched Islamic group Lionz Of Da Dezert last year — and is now aiming for solo success.

 

The sponger has raked in hundreds of pounds in merchandising spin-offs — while claiming taxpayer-funded benefits worth around £200 a month.

 

The Sun set up a recording studio in North London where he met our undercover reporters in a bid to clinch a music deal.

 

Speaking in broken English, greedy Mostafa boasted: “I think I can easily make more than a million. A million is nothing.

 

“I’ve been concentrating on gigs but there’s a big market out there, trust me. 5,000 people came to see me play at Wembley.”

 

Mostafa revealed he made more than £300 at a recent gig by flogging branded T-shirts and key rings.

 

He said he had already rejected one deal because he was “only going to get ¬£1.50 per album”.

 

He added: “I want to put out an album for the mainstream market ‚Äî then make a CD featuring hardcore lyrics.”

 

The Brit-born terrorist ‚Äî Hamza’s oldest child by his first wife Valerie ‚Äî said: “My aim is to record and finish three different albums. One is Islamic, one is Middle Eastern, one is hip-hop. I can appeal to three different markets.

 

“I can also sing in Asia ‚Äî as well as in Turkish, Arabic and English.

 

“It took me six months to learn how to produce music. Now I don’t need to go to the studio and pay big money to make a recording. I can do it at home.

 

“I guarantee you, my music will be popular all over the Middle East ‚Äî from Egypt to Palestine.”

 

Mostafa, whose stage name AL-ansary means lion, also revealed plans for a music video to be broadcast on TV across the Arab world.

 

Asked if he hoped to become as big a name as terror chief Osama Bin Laden, he said: “Inshallah” ‚Äî an Arabic word meaning: “God willing”.

 

He handed our reporters a track featuring lyrics about terror and took the microphone to sing others.

 

Earlier he had told of his special forces military training in Yemen — where he was jailed for three years in 1999 for plotting to butcher tourists and embassy staff.

 

He said: “Helicopters, tanks, planes, I can fly and drive them. I’ve a lot of anger inside me. But I’m not scared. Jihad is clear, you fight those who fight you ‚Äî Muslim or non-Muslim.”

 

The fanatic also hinted that he had bomb-making skills, adding: “If I’m stuck in a place where I really want to escape I can make something up using sugar and stuff.”

 

The extremist stepped into his hook-handed dad’s shoes by ranting outside North London‚Äôs Finsbury Park mosque following the radical cleric’s arrest.

 

Hamza 47, was caged this month for seven years after urging fanatics to kill Christians and Jews.

 

Mostafa, who lives in a rented room in Wembley, North West London, claimed he was a student on a business course.

 

He gets a ¬£44.50-a-week jobseekers’ allowance ‚Äî despite recently selling his dad’s ex-council flat in West London for a ¬£150,000 profit.

 

Last night Tory MP Greg Hands blasted Mostafa’s music bid.

 

He said: “This revelation will only add to the taxpayer‚Äôs misery.”

The radical Islamic cleric Abu Hamza was today jailed for seven years at the Old Bailey after he was convicted of a string of race hate and terror charges.

 

Sentencing him, Mr Justice Hughes said he had “helped to create an atmosphere in which to kill has become regarded by some as not only a legitimate course but a moral and religious duty in pursuit of perceived justice”.

 

The judge said: “No one can now say what damage your words may have caused. No one can say whether you audience, present or wider, acted on your words.”

 

But he added that his views had caused “real danger to the lives of innocent people in different parts of the world”.

 

Hamza, 47, described by security sources as a key figure in the global Islamic terror movement, was convicted of 11 out of 15 charges by the Old Bailey jury on the fourth day of its deliberations.

 

What the jurors were not told was that the former Imam at the controversial Finsbury Park Mosque in north London is also wanted in the US where is accused of terror charges.

 

They were also unaware that when police raided the mosque in January 2003, they found an array of terrorist paraphernalia, including nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protective suits, blank firing weapons, a stun gun and a CS canister.

Do you find it ironic that IDF officers are being prosecuted for ‘war crimes’ for their roles in anti-terror missions, while the UK is asking Israel for help in training British officers in fighting terror?

Simon McDonald:
No IDF officers are being prosecuted in the UK. An arrest warrant was issued against General Almog; even if it had been served that would have been only the first step in a long legal process. As it is, the warrant has been withdrawn. I see logic not irony in the close counter-terrorism cooperation between Israel and Britain.

Dear sir, Is it possible that Britain will cancel “Holocaust Day” because it offends Muslims?

No!

Are there any other sovereign nations other than Israel in which the United Kingdom embassy is situated in a city other than that country’s capital? For example, have you considered moving your embassy in France to the coastal town of Montpellier, or do you recognize and respect France’s right and ability to decide where its own capital city is?

Simon McDonald:
Yes, the British embassy in The Netherlands is in The Hague but Amsterdam is the capital. And my first post was to Jedda, where all embassies to Saudi Arabia were located from the foundation of the state until 1985 when embassies moved to Riyadh - proof that the status quo does not necessarily last forever.

A fundamentalist Muslim cleric facing possible treason charges in Britain has fled the country, British media reported Monday.

 

Sheik Omar Bakri, the founder and spiritual leader of the radical Islamic group al-Muhajiroun, has been identified by British authorities as one of a number of radical clerics who could face charges if their public remarks are deemed to have incited terrorism.

 

“He left on Saturday,” Anjem Choudary, an associate, told Britain’s Channel 4 television. “He is considering his Islamic duties in Lebanon.”

 

Choudary, who is the former head of al-Muhajiroun, said he believed Bakri was planning to travel on to one of the “Emirate countries.”

 

“It’s an obligation on Muslims that if they can’t fulfill their Islamic duties in a certain place* then they need to … emigrate to a place where they can, where their lives and their religion are protected.”

In remarks following the deadly July 7 London bombings which killed 56, including the four suicide bombers, Bakri reportedly said that he would not inform police if he knew Muslims were planning another attack. He also reportedly offered support for insurgents who attack troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

An extreme Muslim cleric whose family have been living on benefits in Britain for 20 years says it would not be ‘fair’ to deport him.

 

Speaking after the Prime Minister announced his clampdown, father-of-seven Sheik Omar Bakri said: “I have wives, children, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law. It would be hard on my family if I was deported.”

 

Since Syrian-born Bakri settled in Britain, he and his extended family have raked in benefits amounting to at least £300,000.

 

He is registered disabled because of an injury to his leg during his childhood, and was recently supplied with a £31,000 Ford Galaxy under the Motability scheme.

 

Bakri, who lives in a £200,000 home in North London, tops up his £250-a-week benefit payments with an extra £50 incapacity allowance.

 

He has praised the September 11 terrorists as ‘magnificent’, called Israel ‘a cancer’ and said homosexuals should be ‘thrown from Big Ben’.

 

In January, he declared that Britain had become a ‘land of war’, and called on Muslims to unite behind Al Qaeda. He has supported suicide bombings and urged his followers to kill non-Muslims ‘ wherever, whenever’.

 

He also claimed he has no wish to stay in Britain, but his family would suffer if he was deported.

 

“If they want to change the law and say that people who are here must live within the framework of those rules, then that is fine,” said the 45-year-old cleric.

 

“But they cannot punish people by backdating it for 20 years or so.

 

“That is not a smart or fair system. Tony Blair should have charged me years ago if that was the case. He did not because I had done nothing wrong.”

 

Bakri also claimed he had tried to dissuade affected young Muslims from carrying out terror attacks in Britain, by telling them that under Islamic law it would be wrong to target a country in which they were living.

British Member of Parliament George Galloway has described Jerusalem as being “raped” by foreigners, in a series of speeches delivered on Arab television.

 

Galloway is leader of the Respect Party, an anti-Iraq war political party based on an alliance between Britain’s Socialist Workers Party and the British branch of the Muslim Brotherhood.

 

The broadcasts, which were translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, will likely present a challenge to British prime minister Tony Blair, who has vowed to crack down on overt incitement to terrorism in Britain and abroad. Galloway said that Jerusalem and Baghdad were “crying out for help,” before praising Iraqi jihad fighters, saying they were “defending the whole Arab world.”

 

Two of your beautiful daughters are in the hands of foreigners - Jerusalem and Baghdad,” Galloway said on Syrian television. “The foreigners are doing to your daughters as they will. The daughters are crying for help, and the Arab world is silent. And some of them are collaborating with the rape of these two beautiful Arab daughters. Why? Because they are too weak and too corrupt to do anything about it.”

“This started out as a wish to terrorize the world with American power, or as Sharon would say: Terrrrrrorize,” said Galloway, attempting to imitate an Israeli accent.

A jubilant cop last night described the dramatic moment suicide bomb suspect Yasin Hassan Omar was seized - after being zapped with a 50,000-volt Taser gun.

 

Somalian Omar, 24, was disabled with the stun gun as police burst into his Birmingham hideout.

 

He was seen trying to grab a backpack similar to those used by bombers - and was immediately shot with the Taser.

 

Minutes later he was led away - shuffling like a caged animal - in manacles - and a suspect package was later blown up in a controlled explosion.

 

An officer who took part in the dawn arrest said: I’ve never seen anyone look so scared.”

 

Every muscle in Omar’s body would have been temporarily paralyzed as barbed darts attached to electrical wires fired from the Taser gave an agonising shock.

—-

Omar was in his blue pyjamas in the bathroom when a dozen officers wielding a battering ram smashed their way into an apartment at 63 Heybarnes Road, Small Heath, at 4.30am.

 

The police source said: “He looked s**t scared. He had obviously been sleeping but must have jumped up the moment he heard the door go.

 

“He looked utterly astonished to see us. His face was a picture. He must have thought he was completely safe.

 

“When we first burst in he offered little resistance, although he looked like he was going to make a run for it at one point.

 

“He was then hit with the Taser as he was picking up a backpack because we did not know what was in it. It looked very much like other backpacks that have been used by bombers.”

The typical view,” said Ismail Amaan, “is that Muslims and Jews can’t get along. We’ve proven that wrong.”

 

Amaan and fellow Muslim Jewish Forum cofounder Rabbi Herschel Gluck have spent the past five years disproving “the typical view” by bringing together devout Muslims and Orthodox Jews in London’s Stamford Hill neighborhood, where the two communities live side-by-side.

 

The two men, with beards and head coverings and both strictly observant, may not seem like the most natural of partners. They were brought together, they told The Jerusalem Post, by common political interests.

 

Describing the forum’s work in Stamford Hill, they recounted their successes in lobbying together to preserve legal rights to kosher and halal slaughtering practices and burial procedures, as well as the status of religious education, and to win various housing and social benefits.

 

There is also the day-to-day issue of maintaining good neighborly ties, for which both Amaan and Gluck credit a shared sense of trust and decency.

 

“People [here] are prepared to go the extra mile for each other. They trust each other,” said Gluck.

 

“Islam encourages people to respect our neighbors, and that ethos exists here,” said Amaan, agreeing.

 

Comparing the peace between Muslims and Jews in Stamford Hill to the relatively positive relations between Muslims and Jews in Spain, he said, “The bottom line is that our relationship is a true relationship.” The forum has even addressed more poignant and difficult issues such as terrorism.

 

“Muslims in the forum have condemned all kinds of terrorism, not just in front of British audiences, but in front of foreign Muslim audiences as well. When it comes to the killing of innocents, any decent human being would get up and condemn it,” Gluck said.

 

“After the Mike’s Place bombing,” he added, “we put out a very strongly-worded condemnation of it. As usual, I wrote the release, and when I did so, I took into consideration that there were people [in the Muslim community] who would have trouble condemning it in strong terms. But when I brought it to my Muslim friends in the forum, they insisted that I make it stronger.”

 

Gluck has also stepped up on behalf of the Muslim community. After the first series of bombings in London earlier this month, which were claimed by an Islamist group, he spoke in defense of the country’s Muslims at a rally at the North London Muslim Community Center.

 

“The police have said that what this forum has achieved is very special, that it has managed to keep relations not just on an even keel, but to keep them positive in these difficult times,” he commented.

 

Amaan said that many of the Muslims in the neighborhood have family and friends in their countries of origin - India and Southeast Asia, largely - and that they have encouraged the relationship established through the forum.

One element that helps the two groups maintain such a friendly relationship is the fact that Israel is not a particularly divisive issue. While Gluck said many of the Jews who participate in the forum’s activities are strongly supportive of Israel, he and most of his community members are not.

 

“I am not a Zionist,” he explained. “But I do have a very good relationship with the Israeli administration.”

 

Amaan said of the issue, “We’re sophisticated enough here in Stamford Hill to realize that Jews and Israelis are not the same thing… and they know that Muslims are not representative of Hamas, either.” He said the forum is even considering a trip to Israel and the Palestinian Authority in the next few months.

Finally we turn to the question of the Middle East and Israel. It has been widely reported in recent months that the majority of the Hasidic community in Stamford Hill is anti-Zionist and objects to the existence of the state of Israel. ‘The Holy Land is a special place and religious Jews love the land and the people. However, Zionism is a secular ideology and has contributed to the secularisation of many Jews. The state of Israel wasn’t the best way forward for Jewish people. Today more than ever, both in the land of Israel and around the world, we all feel passionately that we want and need Moshiach (the coming of the Messiah).’

 

The orthodox Jews see themselves as ‘keepers of the faith’ and are at best unhappy when the deeply-entrenched, spiritual traditions of Judaism are under attack, as they claim they are from many quarters within Israel. The most extreme anti-Zionist group in the area are the Neturei Karta, around 100 families, who provoked outrage from many within London’s wider Jewish community when they joined Palestinians in protesting at a recent anti-Israel rally in the West End. I ask the Rabbi, then, if he is sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians. He smiled and commented ‘ I am sympathetic to the suffering of any human being’.

Less than two weeks since the London terror attacks, the city’s Mayor Ken Livingstone has sparked controversy by defending the use of suicide bombers in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and charging that Israel had indiscriminately slaughtered Palestinians in acts that “border on crimes against humanity.”

 

“Given that the Palestinians don’t have jet planes, don’t have tanks, they only have their bodies to use as weapons,” Livingstone told Sky News in an interview.

 

“In an unfair balance, that’s what people use,” said Livingstone, who has often been strongly critical of Israel in the past.

—-

Livingstone said that Israel has “done horrendous things which border on crimes against humanity the way they have indiscriminately slaughtered men, women and children in the West Bank and Gaza for decades.”

 

Livingstone also said that he does not distinguish between members of Likud and Hamas, branding them “two sides of the same coin.”

 

“I think it is the Israelis who are leading the stubborn line,” said Livingstone. “The Likud and Hamas members are two sides of the same coin. They need each other in order to attract support.”

 

“Each side emphasizes the extremism of the other in order to attract sympathy,” Livingstone said.

 

Livingstone agreed to the interview in the wake of the media frenzy surrounding the possible visit of controversial Muslim cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi, who has voiced support for Palestinian suicide bombers and has been banned from entering the United States.

 

Livingstone denied that Qaradawi will visit London,.

 

“I believe it is forbidden to take human life,” Livingstone said. “I will welcome and meet with senior members of the Israeli government if they come here because they serve their country’s government even though I believe they have done terrible things bordering on crimes against humanity.”

Mr Livingstone said he did not just denounce suicide bombers.

 

He also denounced “those governments which use indiscriminate slaughter to advance their foreign policy, as we have occasionally seen with the Israeli government bombing areas from which a terrorist group will have come, irrespective of the casualties it inflicts, women, children and men”.

 

He continued: “Under foreign occupation and denied the right to vote, denied the right to run your own affairs, often denied the right to work for three generations, I suspect that if it had happened here in England, we would have produced a lot of suicide bombers ourselves.”

Livingstone said a double standard has “infected” the way people view Britons who may join the IDF or embark on jihadist activities.

 

“If a young Jewish boy in this country goes and joins the Israeli army, and ends up killing many Palestinians in operations and can come back, that is wholly legitimate,” he said. “But for a young Muslim boy in this country, who might think: I want to defend my Palestinian brothers and sisters and gets involved, he is branded as a terrorist. And I think it is this that has infected the attitude about how we deal with these problems.”

“I think the Israeli hardliners around Likud and Hamas [members] are two sides of the same coin; they need each other to drum up support, they point to the excesses of the other to recruit and I don’t make any distinction because I believe the taking of human life is wrong. In particular, when you think of the illegal invasion of Lebanon, the illegal invasion of Egypt and Jordan in the Six Day War, all these exercises of going into Palestinian refugee camps and indiscriminately destroying homes simply because a bomber came from that area,” Livingstone said.
“I don’t believe in an eye for an eye. I don’t believe in that punishment.”

“Given that the Palestinians don’t have jet planes, don’t have tanks, they only have their bodies to use as weapons”

Livingstone said that Israel has “done horrendous things which border on crimes against humanity the way they have indiscriminately slaughtered men, women and children in the West Bank and Gaza for decades.”

“I think it is the Israelis who are leading the stubborn line,” said Livingstone. “The Likud and Hamas members are two sides of the same coin. They need each other in order to attract support.”

 

“Each side emphasizes the extremism of the other in order to attract sympathy,” Livingstone said.

“Under foreign occupation and denied the right to vote, denied the right to run your own affairs, often denied the right to work for three generations, I suspect that if it had happened here in England, we would have produced a lot of suicide bombers ourselves.”

In particular, when you think of the illegal invasion of Lebanon, the illegal invasion of Egypt and Jordan in the Six Day War..

“I think this type of terrorism has very deep roots,” Blair said. “As well as dealing with the consequences of this — trying to protect ourselves as much as any civil society can — you have to try to pull it up by its roots,” he said.

 

That meant boosting understanding between people of difference religions, helping people in the Middle East see a path to democracy and easing the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, he said.

 

“Ultimately what we now know, if we didn’t before, is that where there is extremism, fanaticism or acute and appalling forms of poverty in one continent, the consequences no longer stay fixed in that continent, they spread to the rest of the world” said Blair.

“seek to rid Muslim countries of what it sees as the profane influence of the West and replace their governments with fundamentalist Islamic regimes” 

Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said Sunday that “the terrorists operating in London last week were doing it as part of a comprehensive terrorist war against the Western civilization similar to what they’ve done in America, similar to what they’ve done in Spain.”

 

Israeli officials have long stressed the global nature of terror, apparently wary that a connection between attacks on Western countries and Middle East policy could increase pressure on Israel to resolve its conflict with the Palestinians.

 

Cabinet Minister Matan Vilnai said Western democracies, including Israel, are being targeted by terror. “We are part of it and the whole free world is now part of it,” he said.
