Imam calls Women ‘Wild Animals’ after Government Fails to Ban him From UK 

Home Secretary criticised for allowing Yusri Jabar to ‘sow the seeds for even more extremism and hatred’

A hate preacher described women as “wild animals” in a sermon that went ahead after the Home Office rejected calls to ban him from the UK.

Yusri Jabar, an Egyptian lecturer, gave two sermons on Sunday and Monday at a London mosque previously attended by one of Britain’s first known suicide bombers.

Mr Jabar was allowed to enter Britain despite Labour and Tory MPs urging Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, to revoke his visa on public safety grounds.

Mr Jabar referred to women in one of the sermons during his latest visit as being “exactly like a wild animal, you just need to train her ... so she doesn’t go more wild. And all goes back to Sharia”.

When asked about dealing with Western non-believers, Mr Jabar said: “We despise their thoughts and beliefs. We don’t despise the people of disbelief, we despise disbelief itself... We need to clarify why their ideology is mistaken.

“We need to be clear to people what is the correct path. We despise their mistaken ideology. The curse be on the wrongdoers, on the disbelievers. Right now they are not following prophetic conduct.”

In previous videos seen by The Telegraph, Mr Jabar also called for Jewish people to be killed, supported armed violence against Israel in Gaza and backed jihad against the West.

The Telegraph revealed earlier this week that the mosque that hosted Mr Jabar, Jamia Masjid Hounslow in west London, is under investigation by the Charity Commission because of “serious concerns” about events it has hosted.

An imam at the mosque also claimed gay people would “destroy the human race”

The disclosure that Mr Jabar was able to go ahead with this week’s sermons was described as “inexplicable and unjustifiable” by Peter Clarke, the former head of the UK’s Counter Terrorism Command.

Mr Clarke, who became chief inspector of prisons after leaving the police, said: “On the very day the Government announced a £250m pound package to offer greater protection to Jewish communities, an Islamic extremist who has repeatedly called for Jews to be killed is allowed into the country to speak not once, but twice, in our capital city.

“The mixed message this sends is both inexplicable and surely unjustifiable. Does something like this meet the need?”

Chris Philp, the shadow home secretary, said that at a time of rising anti-Semitism and Islamist extremism, “people like this should not be allowed in the country”.

Mr Philp said the Government should be “ashamed” that it had let a foreign preacher into the country to “spread hatred and division – and sowed the seeds for even more extremism and hatred here”.

The Hounslow mosque was attended by Asif Hanif, one of two suicide bombers who attacked Mike’s Place, a Tel Aviv bar, in April 2003.

 

 

The Charity Commission said it had opened a “regulatory compliance” case following serious concerns about an individual connected to the mosque.

“Charities must not allow their premises, events or online content to become forums for hate speech against any community,” said a spokesman.

“The public, rightly, expects charities to bring people together not to stoke division. When such allegations arise we will, within our regulatory remit, deal with it robustly.”

Steve Gallant, who tackled the Fishmonger’s Hall terror attacker Usman Khan to the ground, said: “This is a basic test of public protection, and the Home Secretary appears to be failing it.

“Britain should not be granting entry to extremists who spread anti-Semitic hatred, especially at a time when Jewish communities are already facing rising violence and intimidation. Shabana Mahmood needs to act now and revoke this man’s visa.

“If someone with views this poisonous is still allowed into the country, then all the Government’s talk about tackling extremism is worth very little.”

Hounslow Jamia Masjid has been approached for comment.
