The tape no longer exists, but the accuracy of his transcription made in 2006 is no longer in dispute and Mr Taher was not required to give evidence. 136. I bear in mind the two limitations of the evidence in relation to this speech. First, the transcript comprises a relatively short extract from a much longer speech. Second, the absence of the tape means that it is not possible to assess inflection and tone of the words spoken by the Claimant. However, in my view, the import of the Claimant’s essential message is clear. Text of the speech 137. I set out below the text of the extract from the Claimant’s speech that was retained and transcribed by “The Sunday Times”. In this part of the speech, the Claimant is discussing the characteristic of “strength in Islam”. He touched upon two specific topics, the wearing of the hijab and jihad. I highlight in bold those passages which are particularly significant.6 The Claimant began as follows: “So the Muslim should be strong as pertaining to his deen (belief) even though there might be a war upon Islam where they want the Muslims not maybe a physical war but an ideological war where they want the Muslims to stop talking speaking about the deen of Islam and stop having the Aqeeda or creed of islam. We say no if you compromise on this you are that weak Muslim. Islam is not your religion because the religion of Islam requires strong men, strong women strong individuals because these issues where there are telling us where there are issues which are not correct the issue of jihad or the Muslims women wearing Islamic dress, if you look at these issues you’ll find great wisdom in it.” 138. On the issue of the hijab, the Claimant said this: “As men you brothers when You see a women dressed in Hijab, wearing jilbab covering herself and you see another individual not covering herself maybe dressed immorally maybe dressed in a mini skirt, which one do you respect? As a man maybe the sisters cannot understand but as men, even non Muslims men by Allah, by Allah a non-Muslim man came to me he said when I see a Muslim woman wearing hijab I lower my gaze, this is what he said. So the issue of hijab we say is pride. Not pride in the sense of being arrogant but we say it with happiness that this Allah (SAW) has given to the Muslim woman to honour the Muslim woman.” 139. The Claimant then turned to the issue of jihad and said as follows: “Out of respect for the Muslims woman and yes the same with Jihad. Jihad if a country is attacked like America or Britain and America decides to defend itself and Britain decides to defend itself would you say that this is good or bad. You would say that this is having courage defening [sic] yourself defending your land defending honour. So when it comes to 6 I use the same bold to highlight significant passages in the Claimant’s subsequent speeches (below). 30
