Are Christians the New Persecuted?


*Note: Video is blocked in the UK (Available on 4oD in 7 parts)

Interviews with Nicky Rawlins, Bishop Nick Baines, Gary MacFarlane, Peter Tatchell, Andrea Williams, Bishop Michael Nazir Ali, and Anjem Choudary.

British Islamist Anjem Choudary: Freedom and Democracy Are Idols That Must Be Destroyed and Replaced with Obedience to Allah


February 3, 2010 on Press TV
From Transcript:
Anjem Choudary: You know, I don't believe in the concept of freedom of expression. I don't believe in democracy. I don't believe in secularism or liberalism. I believe these are idols that the people are worshipping nowadays, taking them away from worshipping our lord, Allah. I believe that sovereignty and supremacy belongs to God, but I will function within the realms of their so-called "freedom," to expose their own fallacies.

Jon Ronson: Tottenham Ayatollah Revisited

Link
Aired: September 5, 2005 on Channel 4

In 1997, when Islamist extremism was still somebody else’s problem, Jon Ronson spent a year profiling cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed. In a post-7/7 world, the resulting film gets a re-screening with a new introduction from Ronson. The government says Bakri won’t be allowed to return to the UK and certainly his anti-Semitic, anti-homosexual views are distasteful; but Ronson (himself Jewish) also manages to convey, via mundane details, the absurdities of Bakri’s mission to turn Britain into an Islamist state — jihad training in a Crawley scout hut etc.
