Anjem Choudary has threatened that a terror attack is 'highly likely' at the royal wedding. He told all Muslims to stay away from Westminster Abbey on April 29, describing it as 'a prime target'.Choudary has also been haranguing followers of the hate group, Muslims Against Crusades, and is backing its plan for a 'forceful demonstration' at the wedding.
"All Muslims should stay away from the public gatherings like the royal wedding and the Olympics because there is a very high likelihood of an attack. Prime targets most probably would be public gatherings like that, so I think Muslims in general should stay away to avoid injury," said Choudary.
"Maybe when the priest says "is there anyone who objects to this wedding speak now or forever hold your tongue" - who knows what will happen at that time? If my brothers decide to use the opportunity when the world is looking at the Royal Family to pass a message so that we can avoid more deaths of innocent men, women and children in Afghanistan, that should be applauded.
"Prince William has been on military duty in Afghanistan, as well as his brother. I believe that the Queen and her children are supportive of the war in Afghanistan, which translates to us as a war against Muslims."
He also said: "We believe this is complete murder and mayhem that they have orchestrated. We will stand against and expose anyone who supports that.Security services in this country will tell you there is very high risk (of a terror attack). That is their main concern about the wedding."
Choudary became leader of Islam4UK but it was banned last year by the Terrorism Act 2000. Now another group has emerged in its place and Choudary admits he is involved.
The group has created a website with a clock counting down to the royal wedding, calling the royal family 'enemies to Allah and his messenger'.
Choudhary says the protest could include hardliners from the group setting fire to Union Jack flags.
"It's not illegal in this country to burn a Union Jack. There may be placards and people addressing the crowd. A lot of them are former students of mine. Also they were previously with al-Muhajiroun so I do know them. I'm not their spokesman but they invite me from time to time."
