Nearly Half of British Mosques Run by Radicals

If 'moderates' want to do away with free speech--the ability to criticize their prophet--then imagine what the radicals are after. This week's Shire News Network podcast interviews Andrew Norfolk of the London Times who has spent the last nine months investigating Britain's mosques.

Listen to the podcast here.

Andrew's stunning article his here. Here's a teaser:

Almost half of Britain’s mosques are under the control of a hardline Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims to “shed blood” for Allah, an investigation by The Times has found.

Riyadh ul Haq, who supports armed jihad and preaches contempt for Jews, Christians and Hindus, is in line to become the spiritual leader of the Deobandi sect in Britain. The ultra-conservative movement, which gave birth to the Taleban in Afghanistan, now runs more than 600 of Britain’s 1,350 mosques, according to a police report seen by The Times.

What, me worry?
