In this interview Choudary claims that, while he isn’t quite stupid enough to personally attack the people whose taxes keep him in comfort, he supports overseas efforts to take revenge on the West for trying to promote civilisation in Iraq and Afghanistan. In other words he supports those in Yemen who posted the bombs to US synagogues.

Moreover, he claims that, no matter what a Western Muslim may tell CNN in public, he will, in private agree with Choudary. Imam – it’s a cultural centre, not a mosque – Feisal Abdul Rauf undoubtedly would like to shove Choudary’s skull cap down his throat: the question is, is that because Rauf had been rumbled?
