'Wearing poppies against shariah'

Anjem Choudary, the right hand man of Omar "the goat humping" Bakri, said that wearing poppies is not sanctioned by shariah law. But growing poppies and cultivating the opium is I guess.

A hate preacher sparked outrage last night by urging British Muslims not to wear poppies.

Anjem Choudary said any Muslim who wore the symbol of respect was betraying his religion and backing “British nationalism”.

Choudary, a right-hand man of exiled cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, 47, was responding to news that poppy sales were down in areas of the country with a high population of Muslims.

But Choudary, 41, said: “This is not something we should be supporting. We are not sanctioned to support poppies by the Sharia law.

“We’re talking about the Second World War and this doesn’t have anything to do with Muslims.

Muslims are not allowed to participate in anything that is clearly British nationalism.” The call comes days after Choudary, whose family lives on £25,000-a-year benefits, warned British Muslims that giving sweets to children on Halloween is “the greatest crime any person can commit”.
