MUSLIM FANATICS ABUSE MP AT MOSQUE
By Ted Jeory
They screamed at him that as someone who is gay he was “not welcome in a house of Allah”.
Mr Freer, who is not Jewish but who is a member of the Conservative Friends of Israel and the All Party Parliamentary Group on Islamophobia, said the protesters were “aggressive” and that he had been forced to call Finchley’s Met Police borough commander to complain.
It is now understood that Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorist unit is investigating the Muslims Against Crusades group, which has also issued a chilling warning to any MP representing Muslims in Britain.
His Al Qaeda-inspired attacker, Roshonara Choudhry, 22, was sentenced to life imprisonment and a number of other MPs who were on her target list were offered extra police protection.
The Muslims Against Crusades statement reads: “We warn Mike Freer and every other MP in Britain that their presence is no longer welcomed in any Muslim area and that examples such as Stephen Timms should serve as a piercing reminder of this.
“Muslims have had enough of freedom and democracy and are fervently working for the implementation of the Shariah.”
Although the group is relatively small and dismissed by moderate Muslims as insignificant lunatics, their supporters include convicted terrorists.
Its major British figurehead is radical hate-preacher Anjem Choudary, a lieutenant of Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad who is now banned from entering Britain and is in jail in Lebanon.
Mr Freer, elected in 2010, was targeted by the group because he had demanded that Palestinian Sheikh Raed Salah be banned from the UK this summer.
Salah was arrested in June and now faces deportation after Home Secretary Theresa May said his presence and his alleged virulent anti-Semitism was not conducive to the public good.
Mr Freer said yesterday: “I’ve a long record of working with local mosques and this was the second time I’d held a surgery at the North Finchley Mosque, which is very moderate.
“I was made aware that a woman member of the mosque had started a campaign against me.
“She came into the surgery as a constituent but also with a gang of others from outside the area who started
haranguing me and screaming abuse calling me a Jewish homo pig.
“They said because I was gay, I was not welcome in a House of Allah. It was all very aggressive.
“Both the mosque and I are determined not to let these people stop the work we are doing among faith communities.”
However, Muslims Against Crusades added: “As a member of the Conservative party, Mike Freer has the blood of thousands of Muslims on his hands.”
