Islamic organisation criticised as ‘hypocrites’

BRITAIN’S leading Muslim organisation was criticised as “hypocrites” yesterday for calling on community leaders to guard against terrorists.

Watched by uniformed police officers, radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza held his usual Friday prayers on the pavement outside north London’s Finsbury Park Mosque.

Hamza told nearly 150 Muslims that the only person who cared about the Muslim Council of Britain’s letter was Prime Minister Tony Blair. “This is basically an example of compliance between Tony Blair and the MCB,” he told the men who sat quietly on a makeshift plastic prayer mat.
