| MMW: Mosque Trustee Tried to Warn About Tube Bomber |
| 2005-08-06 |
| A leader at a mosque visited by one of the London July 21 bombing suspects says he warned police that Hamdi Issac was dangerous more than two years ago. An elder at the Stockwell Mosque in south west London says he wrote to a senior police officer urging him to help deal with a group of young people who had been "harassing" and intimidating the moderate Muslims. "We believe that this group is trying to undermine both the authority and moderate approach of the center's management, imams and community... " said a copy of the letter shown to Channel 4 News. "They have an agenda to turn this center into another Finsbury Park Mosque" -- referring to another mosque in north London known for extreme Islamist preaching. This is excellent news, and I have to give Toaha Qureshi credit for trying. Was he the only one to complain? Did the other trustees support his complaint? Will the police take such complaints seriously in the future? |
