"if I go there (my dreamland Malaysia) I will .. correct the error that has occurred in the political system there" !!!
Who is he? Here is some quick bio from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Bakri_Muhammad
- Omar Bakri Muhammad (born 1958)
- Syrian Islamist militant leader born in Aleppo
- instrumental in developing Hizb ut-Tahrir in UK (HT)
- left HT and joined Al-Muhajiroun, until its disbandment in 2004.
- In 2015 his son Muhammad was killed in Syria while fighting for ISIS
- 30 Dec 2015, his other son Bilal, killed while fighting for ISIS in Iraq
- 12 Nov 2010 Lebanon TV reported Bakri among 54 people sentenced to life
- after being accused of acts of terrorism
- He was released from prison on 29 March 2023 (13 years in jail)
Below here is a long video interview with Bakri. I dont know when this video was recorded but I think it is recent. But you only have to listen to the first SIX minutes. Bakri lovingly mentions Malaysia as his dreamland. Among the things he said are as follows:
- fundamental duties upon us . . .to establish the Islamic state
- I came to Britain after being arrested in Saudi Arabia
- they deported me
- I was not able to return back to Lebanon
- I could not return to the Arab countries because of my political activities
- I choose to go to Britain just to pass by,
- and from there to Malaysia or Pakistan
- I call it my dreamland - Pakistan or Malaysia
- if I go there I will contribute for that call,
- and correct the error that has occured in the political system there (min 5:05)
Here is the YouTube video and the link: https://youtu.be/8PwaMaIeyx4?si=6sRG2rmfn9Xkeg5_
For the past 68 years our grandfathers, fathers, we ourselves and now our children have worked hard to build our country and to make this land a success. And we have achieved many great things.
We have been so successful that millions of Banglas, Indons, Indians, Nepalese, Iranians, Pakistanis, Arabs, Afghans have made their way here - mostly illegally - to find a peaceful country and try to earn money (legally or illegally).
I only have one question: Where is this fellow now?
