Cambridge: Muslims question militant's speech

Via Cambridge News (h/t DW):

Moderate Muslims are appalled that Dr Haitham al-Haddad, who is a judge on a Sharia law court in London, was allowed a platform at the Mawson Road prayer centre.

He spoke to students from Cambridge University�s Islamic Society in a packed room, and has previously told Muslims �to prepare themselves for jihad, all over the world�.

Hasan Afzal, director of the anti-extremism monitoring group StandforPeace, who was alerted to the visit by a concerned Muslim attending the mosque, said: �I understand the mosque is looking to expand and this has been a bone of contention with the local community and has attracted the ire of far-right groups, including the English Defence League.

(...)

Ahsan Mohammed, a Newmarket Muslim leader, said: �I am torn in that I want freedom of speech and think that is what makes Britain great but when the views are bonkers and dangerous we have to draw the line somewhere.�
