Muslim lawyer’s extraordinary rant at ‘evil’ celebration
A Muslim lawyer has launched an extraordinary rant against Christmas, branding the celebration ‘evil’. Hate preacher Anjem Choudary claimed the festival was the ‘pathway to hell’ and urged his followers to boycott it.
‘Inthe world today many Muslims, especially those residing in Westerncountries, are exposed to the evil celebration Christmas,’ he raged ina sermon broadcast on the internet. ‘Many take part in the festival celebrations by having Christmas turkey dinners.
‘Decorating the house, purchasing Christmas trees or having Christmas turkey meals are completely prohibited by Allah. Many still practice this corrupt celebration as a remembrance of the birth of Jesus. How can a Muslim possibly approve or participate in such a practice that bases itself on the notion Allah has an offspring?
‘The very concept of Christmas contradicts and conflicts with the foundation of Islam.
‘EveryMuslim has a responsibility to protect his family from the misguidanceof Christmas, because its observance will lead to hellfire. Protect your Paradise from being taken away – protect yourself and your family from Christmas.’
His comments were condemned by Robin Tilbrook, chairman of the English Democrats, who branded them ‘nonsense’.
‘You really start to wonder why the people behind this want to be in Britain in the first place,’ he said.
‘Why live here if that’s how you feel?
