Meet Abu Izzadeen, British Citizen
By Adrian Morgan
Abu Izzadeen's Arabic name means "Might of the Faith". He was born on
April 18, 1976, in the Mother's Hospital in Lower Clapton Road in
Hackney, east London. He was brought up in a Christian family of
Jamaican origins, where he had the name Trevor Brooks. In 1994, the
day before his 18th birthday, he became a convert to Islam. He changed
his first name to "Omar". A trained electrician, he became a radical
Muslim after he met Omar Bakri Mohammed at the notorious Finsbury Park
Mosque, and joined Bakri's Islamist group Al-Muhajiroun.
Izzadeen has been drawing media attention to himself for some time. A
video from 2004 which showed him preaching in Regents' Park Mosque was
recently broadcast on British TV. He said: "He who joins the British
Army, the American Army, he is a mortal kaffir and his only hukum
(punishment) is for his head to be removed. Indeed, whoever changes
his deen (Muslim code of life); kill him."
In May, 2006, he told Asharq Alawsat newspaper: "It is haram
(religiously prohibited) to join the armies of secular regimes,"
because "military service under those regimes contradicts Walaa and
Baraa (sincere loyalty to Islam)."
On Saturday July 2, 2005, five days before four suicide bombers killed
52 people on London Transport, Izzadeen said to a group of followers
that Muslims must "instill terror into the hearts of the kuffar
(non-Muslims)." He also said: "I am a terrorist. As a Muslim of course
I am a terrorist."
At that time, Izzadeen was a leader in the groups the Saviour Sect and
Al-Ghurabaa, whose core memberships were formerly Al-Muhajiroun
members. The groups had been established after Al-Muhajiroun had been
officially disbanded in October, 2004. Izzadeen said then that he did
not wish to die sleeping in bed "like an old woman". He said: "I want
to be blown into pieces with my hands in one place and my feet in
another."
Izzadeen's open support for killing was first documented in 2001,
before the 9/11 attacks, when he was filmed in a park in East Ham,
east London. His face was entirely wrapped by a red and white keffiteh
(an Arabic headscarf like a tea towel). He said then: "Because I
believe America is one of the places where we should be bombing
those...er, the Government. There are some Muslims that go to America,
because obviously, you know, like firearms is [sic] available inside
America, to be trained legally. So why not take that opportunity to
use the heart of the enemy that's attacking us."
Izzadeen claimed in July 2005 to have spent seven months in Pakistan
and Kashmir. Many members of Al-Muhajiroun had gone abroad to undergo
jihad training, and after 9/11, many were assisted to fight coalition
forces in Afghanistan. These recruits were aided by Hassan Butt from
his base in Lahore, Pakistan. Butt was an Al-Muhajiroun member, who
also had contacts with Mohammed Sidique Khan, the leader of the 7/7
cell, and also Mohammed Junaid Babar from Queens, New York, who
pleaded guilty to aiding Al Qaeda on June 2, 2004.
After the 7/7 suicide attacks, Izzadeen allowed himself to be filmed
by BBC's Newsnight team. The show aired on August 1, 2005. Talking to
Richard Watson, Izzadeen played down his experience of jihad training,
but his words were chilling enough to be aired by US networks.
He said: "Osama bin Laden, excuse me, Sheikh Osama bin Laden, he
offered to the British public, and the European people at large, an
offer of ceasefire. He said that if they rose up against their
governments, brought their troops home, he promised not to attack
them. But unfortunately the stiff upper British lip became hardheaded,
and we saw what took place on 7 July."
