I'm Going To Miss Westminster Abbey - UK Imam Bans Symbols Of "British Nationalism"

Bummer. And the UK's efforts to integrate radical Muslims into Britain's political and economic institutions were going so well:
A hate preacher sparked outrage last night by urging British Muslims not to wear poppies. Anjem Choudary said any Muslim who wore the symbol of respect was betraying his religion and backing "British nationalism"... Choudary, a right-hand man of exiled cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, 47, was responding to news that poppy sales were down in areas of the country with a high population of Muslims. The vast majority of Brits wear poppies to remember victims of all wars fought by British citizens, including Muslims. But Choudary, 41, said: “This is not something we should be supporting. We are not sanctioned to support poppies by the Sharia law. We’re talking about the Second World War and this doesn’t have anything to do with Muslims. Muslims are not allowed to participate in anything that is clearly British nationalism." The call comes days after Choudary, whose family lives on £25,000-a-year benefits, warned British Muslims that giving sweets to children on Halloween is "the greatest crime any person can commit".
Well technically Muslims had a lot to do with WWII, at least insofar as you count "helping Hitler wipe out Jews" as "part of WWII". The rest of the article goes on to reassure readers that Choudary's parasitic approach to Britain is rejected by other British Muslims. Which doesn't explain why poppy sales are down in areas of the UK with high Muslim populations. But it's a really nice multiculturalist gesture on the Daily Star's part.
