Hamza will not return, says mosque trustee

Controversial Islamic preacher Abu Hamza will not return to Finsbury Park mosque following the recent police raid, a trustee has pledged.

Abdul Kadir Burkatulla said the north London mosque would remain closed for at least three months while it was cleaned of "physical and spiritual filth".

Mr Burkatulla also predicted that no other mosque would allow Abu Hamza to voice his extremist views.

"Those who misuse the mosque facilities are banned by the injunction of the Koran that they should not be allowed to re-enter and misuse the name of God and the places of worship for their own purpose," Mr Burkatulla said.
