One of the suspected killers who attempted to behead and disembowel a young soldier in the horrific Woolwich attack had listened to the preachings of a radical Muslim cleric banned from Britain over extremist activities, including alleged links to al-Qa’ida.
The cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed has been secretly filmed stating that decapitation of the enemies of Islam was permitted.
Today, in comments met with outrage, he told that he could understand the feeling of rage that had motivated the attackers and that what they had done could be justified under certain interpretations of Islam.
