The Jihadis Next Door Page #3

---

This is not the real life,

my dear brothers.

This is a passing time for us

so this is a type of Jihad

for you

that you came out to do da'wah

in joining good

and forbidding evil

and don't be deterred.

As the prayer session

ends, the police arrive.

We just want to speak to you.

- We've had a call

from a member of the public...

- Saying what?

That you may have had...

Someone had

an ISIS-looking flag on them.

What's an ISIS flag?

Unless someone's hiding it

in their trousers,

we don't have it.

Okay. Have any of you got

personal details on you?

We'd like to speak to you

and just get

your personal details.

No, I don't think so.

There's no personal details

being given.

No.

- Behave, don't touch me,

don't touch me.

Just stop for a minute.

- Am I under arrest?

- You're detained.

Film this!

Detained for what?

Are you insane?

For the purposes

of a search.

- What search?

- You're not searching me.

Are you insane?

- What for? What for?

- Get out of my face.

- Search for what?

- Why are you touching him for?

- What offense is he committing?

- You're detained

for the purpose of a search.

- Why?

- We've received information...

- Why? Why?

I'm talking to you, listen,

don't talk over me, listen.

- Who gave you the information?

- A member of public

has called the police...

- You're lying! You're lying!

- No, I'm not.

- You're all detained

for the purposes of a search...

- Okay.

- ...under section 44

of the Terrorism Act because...

- For a flag. You're lying now!

- Which section

of the Terrorism Act?

- Section 44.

Which is what? Glorification?

Instigation? Preparation?

We're not stupid,

we know the law!

- I'm gonna now start

searching you.

- Don't touch me, man!

You are detained

for the purpose of a search.

If you resist

I will use reasonable force.

Let him search me!

- Yes? Okay. I'll be making

a record of this...

- Search me, please.

The group is searched

and detained for an hour

without finding the flag.

They're released

without any charges.

Where you seek

to spread hate

we will disrupt you.

Where you break the law

we will prosecute you.

Where you seek to divide us

we will stand united

and together

we will defeat you.

The British government

are ramping up efforts

to prevent young people

from being drawn

towards terrorism.

Now they're targeting

individuals like Mohammed

and Abu Haleema

and their extremist propaganda.

The pair have been told

that soon they'll have to

appear in court

to see if they face charges

for terrorism.

Abu Haleema

has been arrested again

and questioned over

encouraging terrorism

and a threat against

the Birmingham-based Imam

in one of his videos,

charges he denies.

Where were you, bruv?

We came to your end

and you were nowhere

to be seen,

you were nowhere to be seen,

none of you.

All of you

have become cowards, innit?

Allah hu Akbar! Allah hu Akbar!

Having been locked up

for three days,

he's allowed home to his wife

and family.

The charges are dropped,

but the police have imposed

restrictions on his activities.

When they released me

they gave me

the bail conditions.

They were to sign daily

over there,

Wembley Police Station,

between 8:
00 p.m.

and 10:
00 p.m. daily,

every day, sign there.

I can't use Twitter

or WhatsApp, YouTube.

I feel disabled to be honest.

Oh, yeah, and another thing.

You know,

when they raided my house,

apart from taking

all the electronics

in the house,

they took my daughter's

Nintendo Wii U.

And apart from taking her

Nintendo Wii U they took

her Mario Karts CD.

What is there about Mario Kart

that they want? I don't know.

As Abu Haleema is banned

from posting videos online,

he's been forced back

on the streets.

Have you heard about Islam,

sir? Have a read.

It's Saturday night

on Edgware Road,

a Middle Eastern melting pot

in the heart of Central London

where different faiths

and nationalities

rub shoulders.

But Abu Haleema's

message is still connecting

with young Muslims.

- Does that make you feel good?

- Yeah.

Now a YouTube star,

his fame means he's constantly

being recognized.

We come to give da'wah,

you know,

to invite people to Islam

and to command good above evil.

You know.

However,

not all Muslims

who recognize Abu Haleema

agree with his radical views.

Yeah, I told him

to suck his mum,

the f***ing lot of you.

- I'm Muslim but f*** you.

No,

you're not, you're a Kaffir.

F*** you, who is Kaffir?

Who are you calling a Kaffir?

- Well, why do you insult

Muslims, man?

- Who are you calling a Kaffir?

Hey, bruv, bruv...

- You want to f***ing

have it off?

Abdullah Deen,

white convert

and ex-drum and base MC,

is quick to respond.

You're insulting Muslims.

Brother, I hate getting into

beefs with a long kamis on,

gotta go like this.

Yeah.

The confrontation

attracts a large crowd

to the da'wah stand.

I doubt you're even

a Muslim. You're probably

a Shiite, innit?

You're probably

a Shiite, innit?

They all kuffar,

they're all kuffar.

Go on, who can do anything

about it? What? What?

Shiite are kuffar. What?

Do something about it.

You can shout whatever you want

because you're trying all sh*t.

Radicals like Abu Haleema

believe that millions

of Muslims are Kaffirs,

disbelievers who don't practice

real Islam.

Calm down.

- No, bruv, I've got no time

for a Shiite, bruv.

I've got no time for them.

Listen, this is ISIS, ISIS.

ISIS, this is what

you're seeing

on your television right now.

ISIS, all of these lot,

man, ISIS, daesh.

Why am I daesh?

You make an assumption,

I'm living in the UK.

Daesh, as you wanna call them,

are in Iraq,

I'm living in the UK.

I don't know, ISIS.

You don't know nothing

about the story of Afghanistan

and you're here standing,

talking rubbish.

So if you love Afghanistan

why did you come to my country?

You fool! Shut up.

If you love your country

and your religion

why did you convert to my deen?

Why did you convert to my deen?

I was born as a Muslim,

why did you convert?

I would love to leave

this country. You've got

a one ticket to go, bruv, go!

Go! Go!

Let's go off here.

This guy is not a Muslim,

he's giving Islam a bad name.

Does it quite often

come back to ISIS now?

He didn't even mention ISIS.

Have they got completely

the wrong end of the stick,

you don't support ISIS?

I'm not saying

I don't support them, I believe

there's goodness in them.

But you know I have never once

come out on a platform

and said I've supported ISIS.

The fact is I support

what the creed

of Islam teaches.

If ISIS say it,

if Al Qaeda say it,

if the Imam in the local mosque

says it

and it's the haqq,

I have to accept it

no matter who says it.

You okay, yeah?

What's happening, bruv?

It's been over a year

since I'd seen Abu Rumaysah

and he'd skipped bail.

New photos

have appeared on Twitter

of him with his children,

living in the Islamic State.

I want to show them to Mohammed
