Anjem Choudary, chief judge of the ‘Shari’ah Court of the UK,’ has announced that “when Islam takes over the UK,” Southall will be made the new capital city.

Southall is one of the most ethnically cleansed areas of London, where, according to the 2000 census, only 12 percent of the population is indigenous white British. Even that figure is likely to have dropped in the last eight years.

Choudary said the west London suburb should be the centre of Islamic power at a New Year meeting of his supporters, who cheered his every word as he called for Muslims to “rise up” and seize power in Britain.

“We will rise up. We will rise up, my dear Muslims. One day we will have the Sharia here. And who knows, maybe even Southall can be the capital of the Islamic state when we conquer it.”

Choudhary is a Muslim lawyer who was chairman of the Society of Muslim Lawyers, an Islamist and is best known as a follower of Omar Bakri Mohammed, who was deported from this country.

Choudary has urged Muslims to not cooperate with the police in fighting terrorism, and has called for the assassination of the Pope. He is also ‘Judge of the Shari’ah Court of the UK,’ a position formerly held by Bakri.

In a BBC interview Choudary was asked why he would not say with Omar Bakri Mohammed, “I condemn the killing of innocent people.” Choudary replied “At the end of the day, when we say “innocent people” we mean “Muslims.” As far as non-Muslims are concerned, they have not accepted Islam. As far as we are concerned, that is a crime against God.”

Speaking at a conference on September 11th, 2008 in London, Choudary, referring to the high birth rate of Muslims, stated that “It may be by pure conversion that Britain will become an Islamic state. We may never need to conquer it from the outside.”

He also stated that “We do not integrate into Christianity. We will ensure that one day you will integrate into the Sharia Islamic law.”

In December 2008, Choudary publicly praised the Mumbai attacks in India by Islamic Extremists and stated that Muslims should reject Christmas as it is forbidden by Allah.

The Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying: “Every Muslim has a responsibility to protect his family from the misguidance of Christmas, because its observance will lead to hellfire. Protect your Paradise from being taken away — protect yourself and your family from Christmas.”
