The Islamist group Islam4UK, which planned a march through Wootton Bassett, and its “parent” organisation, al-Muhajiroun, are to be banned under new legislation outlawing the “glorification” of terrorism.

The decision to proscribe the two organisations, which will have to be endorsed by parliament, will make it a criminal offence punishable by a prison term of up to 10 years to be a member of either organisation, or to attend or address their meetings

Muslim hate preacher Anjem Choudary — considered an ‘extremist nut’ by moderate Muslims — has sparked controversy by asking for Britain’s Queen Elizabeth to convert to his faith.

In relation to the upcoming UK elections the extremist also said: “Britain does not need a new leader, it needs a revolution – an Islamic revolution.”

Captive Support is headed by Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohamed, a preacher in exile in Lebanon. He was banned from returning to Britain after the 7 July attacks on London in 2005. Known as the Tottenham Ayatollah, he once called the 9/11 hijackers “magnificent” and declared the 7/7 bombers had gone to paradise.

At a recent debate over the battle for Islamic ideals in England, a British-born Muslim stood before the crowd and said Prophet Mohammed’s message to nonbelievers is: I come to slaughter all of you.

LONDON July 25 – A radical Muslim group which openly celebrated the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States said on Sunday it had called off a planned rally in central London because of fears of a possible al-Qaeda attack. A spokesman for the Al-Muhajiroun group in Britain, Anjem Choudary, said its leader Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad had been told al-Qaeda had repeated its warning of attacks against Europe if they refused to pull troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Choudary said the rally would therefore be moved outside London to ensure the safety of those who take part.

Al-Muhajiroun, the extremist Muslim group that used the second anniversary of the September 11 atrocities last week to praise the “Magnificent 19” hijackers, is facing eviction from its London offices. The landlord of the business centre in Tottenham, north London, where al-Muhajiroun has rented premises since December 2001, said yesterday it had begun legal action to evict the organisation. The Workplace Group, which owns business property across London, acted after al-Muhajiroun praised the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington as “a good deed”. The company said the offices had been rented by Anjem Choudary, a chief spokesman for al-Muhajiroun,
