Riyadh ul Haq Is The UK’s Bury Burkha
WITH Omar Bakri opting for a Mediterranean diet in Lebanon and Abu Hamza cursing the day he forwent a saw in favour of a hook, we have been looking for the UK’s new face of Muslim extremism.
But the Times has what looks like a breakthrough as it profiles Riyadh ul Haq.
Mr ul Haq is on the Times’ front page. His credentials for the role of the UK’s Islamist loon-in-residence are not without weight.
He is said to support armed jihad and preaches “contempt for Jews, Christians and Hindus”. So far, so predictable.
Mr ul Haq was educated at an Islamic seminary in Britain. His sect’s seminary in Bury, Greater Manchester, a bastion of learning, bans art, television, music and chess. It views football as “a cancer that has infected our youth”. (At the time of writing, Bury FC is in Coca-Cola Football League Two Table, and has just lost 2-1 at home to Zionist-controlled Brentford.)
Mr ul Haq is a British imam. As the Times’ front-page picture reveals, he seems to own a people mover (Bakri operated a green Ford Galaxy) and an MP3 player.
Mr ul Haq is poised to become the spiritual leader of the Deobani sect, which, as the paper revels, now runs 600 of Britain’s 1,350 mosques. (The organisation has not wrested hardline control from Hizb ut-Tahrir which, the Mail reports, produces the book ‘Women Who Deserve To Go To Hell’, a tome available in Tower Hamlets public libraries.)
Says Mr ul Haq: “What are we willing to sacrifice?… When called upon we will consider it an honour and privilege to shed our blood.”
And: “Muslims, Arabs going to the opera to listen to a Frenchman singing Italian? That’s the level we’ve stooped to imitating the kuffar.” (Generous odds that Mr ul Haq’s MP3 is atuned to Pavarroti’s greatest hits? Although Nessun Dorma would make a decent rallying call for extremists.)
Says the man in the beard: “Some people will say ‘I was born here, British born and bread.’ That mentality is a love of the way of the kuffar.”
That’s Riyadh ul Haq, readers. He has all his own limbs and will heron be kwon as the Bury Burkha…

“His credentials for the role of the UK’s Islamist loon-in-residence are not without weight.” Not without weight? so you are in a position to judge are you? You are relying on conjecture, slander, lies and nothing else
The truth is that, what was written in the Times was nothing short of scandalous, casting the whole the field of journalism into disrepute. It is a complete shambles from beginning to end.
allow me to clear up two these lies.
1. Shaykh Riyadh is NOT becoming the spiritual leader of the Deobani sect
2. Far from controlling 600 of Britain’s 1,350 mosques Shaykh doesn’t even control one
before copying and pasting uresearched, bias, slanderous material from other sites, my advice would be to ascertain the truth first.

I think this article was quite a disgrace. I’ve never seen so many lies and things taken out of context. I persoanlly have heard many of these lectures and no way did he say it the way the Times made it out to be. Secondly, the Shaikh doesnt just criticise Hindus, and Jews. I have been to his lectures and if anything he is the first to criticise ourselves as Muslims when we do things wrong. I have also heard speeches where he condemns the mentality of us just helping our own and he says that we should take care of our neighbour , be it Muslims or Non muslims.
The funny thing is, the article makes out like hes in charge of 600 mosques in this country lolzz!! I urge the guy to come to our mosque and see whose in charge there !!
I urge people to ignore this article and regard it as mere lies. I think it makes it clear that the media are against the core principles of Islam.

The Times has not made a breakthrough whatsoever, except in reaching new lows in its lack of reporting integrity.
Mr ul Haq is no different to any concerned citizen of this country when it comes to the social harms present today. Admit it or not, the billion pound television and alcohol industries are responsible for more violence than any war in the last century. The former psychologically influences the mind by its repeated showing of violent acts, the latter physically influences the mind by causing loss of self control. Furthermore, the music, sports and entertainment industries, have disintegrated the interest of a large proportion of our children in education.
I would say this is beyond a joking matter of whether a man has a beard or not. Every picture of Jesus we have ever seen has him wearing a beard. Would we position him to be an extremist acting contrary to our values also? Or would we accept that our values have gone wrong somewhere….
