So they took my passport off,

I'm not allowed to apply

for another passport ever

or I'm not allowed to travel

outside of the UK ever.

Ever?

- Ever.

And how does it make you feel?

It makes me feel very good.

Really? Why?

Because it makes me

feel important.

The thing is

at the end of the day,

if they keep pressuring people

like this,

and they keep taking away

people's passports,

some people

will end up lashing out.

It's natural, innit?

It's natural.

People, when they get

frustrated, they're going to

end up doing things

- they don't want to do.

How do you think

that might look?

It could happen any day.

Someone could just lose it

any day now,

you know what I mean?

A few weeks later,

Abu Haleema's words

prove chillingly prophetic.

Some breaking news, reports

are coming in of an attack,

or quite possibly

several attacks, in Paris.

More than 120 people

have been killed in Paris

and more than 200 are injured

in a series of attacks

across the city.

Last night

it was incredibly busy.

There were vigils here,

there were vigils

at the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower was lit up

in red, white and blue,

which I think

is a sign of hope.

Sorry, so sorry.

Graeme...

- And I will leave it there.

There is certainly hope here

in Paris. With that,

it's back to you.

The ayes to the right, 397,

the nos to the left, 223.

So the ayes have it,

the ayes have it.

What are your

thoughts on Paris,

the attacks?

The Paris attacks?

Well, to be honest, it's like

Malcolm X said, innit?

The chickens have come home

to roost, innit?

It's something

they brought upon themselves.

This is what happens

in war, innit?

Obviously, we don't condone

the killing of innocents,

but this is what happens

in war.

You know, if you're gonna kill

other people's innocents,

then obviously,

people are gonna be upset.

It's like me.

If someone ran into my house

when I weren't at home

and they killed my wife

and kids,

what am I gonna do?

I'm gonna find out

where he lives,

I'm gonna find out

where he lives,

Because it's simple.

It's the way the world works.

That's the way the world's

always worked.

You can't see what happened

in Paris was an awful atrocity?

Yeah, obviously, these things

are always awful, innit?

They're always awful

but obviously,

they know why it happened

and for them to go round

and for kuffar to go round

expecting everyone Muslim

or who they believe is

a spokesman to apologize for it

or to condemn it,

then that's not gonna happen.

That's not gonna happen.

What I'm saying in my videos,

this is the basic message

of Islam

and the aim of these videos

is to "radicalize" people.

It's to brain wash people,

it's to clean their brain

of the filth of the kuffar

and obviously, if ISIS

is calling to the same thing,

then that's just a coincidence.

Is it just a coincidence?

Uh, yeah.

- Do you radicalize for ISIS?

- No.

- Do you recruit for ISIS?

- No.

- Do you condone ISIS?

- No.

- Do you support ISIS?

- No comment.

- Why no comment?

- Huh?

Why no comment?

Because it's something

that I can't answer.

If I answer any way,

it could...

You know what I mean, so.

Because I do honestly believe

that over the last 12 months

what I've seen, I'd say

you do all of those things.

Yeah, obviously,

we don't, innit?

That's the truth, we don't.

We don't, anyone that says

that they do is gonna

get themselves in trouble

and get nicked,

it's as simple as that.

The truth is you just don't

want to get arrested.

Of course.

Who does? Who wants

to get arrested, bruv?

Even after filming for a year,

Abu Haleema won't admit

that his group

are directly linked to ISIS,

but on

the 3rd of January, 2016,

breaking news headlines

would seem to contradict him.

Tonight at 10:
00

we name the British man

said to be the main suspect

in the latest propaganda video

released by so-called

Islamic State.

Analysis suggests

that there are similarities

to this man, Abu Rumaysah,

who jumped bail in 2014

and fled to Syria with his wife

and four children.

On the 3rd of January, 2016,

I receive a text from Mohammed

with a link

to the execution video.

Underneath it read simply,

"You may know the voice."

This is a message

to David Cameron.

It seems that you,

just like your predecessors,

Blair and Brown,

are just as arrogant

and foolish.

When you texted me the link

I instantly recognized it

- as being Abu Rumaysah.

- Okay.

So from my perspective,

95 percent because you could

always be wrong.

But you've known him

for 16 years.

I've known him for a long time,

and what I am willing

to say on camera...

Is there a likeness?

Definitely, you can say

there's a resemblance.

Is it him?

I can't make that 100

percent positive identification

without seeing the face.

Mohammed

has been repeatedly arrested

but never jailed.

And it's clear that

he's learned to avoid

incriminating himself.

I have no problem

in saying that Abu Rumaysah

is a friend of mine.

He's more than my friend,

he's my Muslim brother, yeah?

That's beyond any type

of friendship, yeah,

because we are linked

by the bond of Islam.

Is Abu Rumaysah

a hero of yours?

Abu Rumaysah

for me is a very good Muslim.

I think

he's a murderer.

I think

he's from the best of Muslims.

Best of Muslims,

even putting a bullet in the

back of an unarmed man's head?

That's you saying that but

I'm saying h's from the best

of the best of the best.

I can't say more

than what I've said,

and there's a reason for that.

There's no free speech

in the UK,

there's consequences

for what you say.

Allah told me

to take my precautions, yeah.

And Allah obliged me

not to put myself in the hands

of the kuffar.

- But he also told you

to tell the truth?

- And I am speaking the truth.

No, you're not.

You're evading the questions

each time.

- I'm not evading

the questions...

- I'd rather you just tell me

you're evading them

because you don't want

the police here.

I am giving you answer

in my capacity...

You're not giving me

any answers.

I'm giving you answer

in my capacity, yeah,

as a person who studies

Islamic law and is commenting

on world events.

I've been filming

with Mohammed

for a long time now,

but there is still one question

that I have to ask him.

You say that your message

can be deadly.

Our message is deadly,

of course it is, we are calling

for world domination,

we want shariah for the UK.

So for that alone,

that message

is quite deadly, yeah.

So if that's the case

are the government not right

to be raiding,

arresting, coming down on you

like a ton of bricks?

At the end of the day

it is a war between truth

and falsehood.

Our message is the truth

and the message of the British

government is falsehood. So...

Is it not between extremists

and the government?

No, it's between truth

and falsehood

and what we carry is the truth

and what the British carry

is falsehood
