157. I am not persuaded by the Claimant’s suggestion that he was taken ‘out of context’. No relevant ‘context’ was provided by the Claimant at the time of the FSIC press statement in 2006 nor has been since. Further, it is not easy to think of any ‘context’ which could materially ameliorate the Claimant’s core message to the audience about jihad in this speech. Conclusion 158. In conclusion, in my judgement, in his KINGSTON UNIVERSITY SPEECH (2006), the Claimant was espousing extremist Islamic positions and promoting or encouraging religious violence, in particular by exhorting his audience to travel to engage in armed jihad (qital) in Palestine. He said: “You want to make jihad? Very good. Don’t shout and scream and fight with your Muslim brother who is doing something else for the deen. Take some money and go to Palestine and fight, fight the terrorists, fight the Zionists in Palestine if you want to do this.” (2) ADVICE TO TAWFIQUE CHOWDHURY (2009) 159.

The Claimant’s ���Advice” was in a response to a speech by a Muslim scholar, Sheikh Tawfique Chowdhury, delivered in December 2008 to counter-terrorism officers in Cardiff. Sheikh Chowdhury was the Director General of the AlKauthar Institute and Mercy Mission. Text of the Claimant’s “Advice” 161. The Claimant’s “Advice to Sheikh Tawfique” posted on the Web read as follows: “Bismillah al-Rahman Al-Rahim It is with much sadness that I read Tawfique Chowdhury’s speech to the anti-terrorism officers in Wales, which he brazenly posted on an Islamic blog. I was deeply shocked and appalled by his enthusiasm for collaboration with a body that has failed tis [sic] own war against Islam and the Muslims at home and abroad. It is deplorable for a graduate from the prestigious Islamic University of the Prophet’s city – the first Islamic State – where the subject of ‘Aqida is emphasised the most, to declare himself an ally of the West against Islam, not even by choice, but naturally. It is ridiculously outrageous for a Muslim speaker to lure the anti-terrorism officers into using him and other religious leaders against the Muslim community. This is not to say that we should not work to prevent unlawful violence. In fact, many have been at the forefront of this work, without signing a deal with the devil, or joining any sort of 35
