Muslim Cleric Converting Scottish Island to Islamic Extremist ‘Homeland’ to Be Ruled under Sharia Law
by
A radical Muslim hate cleric is planning to transform a beautiful remote Scottish island into a “homeland” for Islamic extremists.
Sheikh Yasser al-Habib plans to train his “army” on the picturesque isle of Torsa, off the west coast of Scotland, and rule its inhabitants under Sharia Law.
45-year-old al-Habib claimed “asylum” in Britain 20 years ago after fleeing his native Kuwait.
He has now raised £3 million ($3.81M) to convert the island into an Islamic state.
The cleric wants his island to serve as the UK’s main outpost for Islamic extremist groups.
The extremist scholar, who already runs military-style training camps, hopes his organization can build its own school, hospital, and mosque on the island, according to the Daily Mail.
In a video encouraging supporters to donate towards their £3.5 million ($4.46M) target, the cleric says he will negotiate with the UK Government to allow Muslims “from all over the world” to be given a visa.
Al-Habib said he hopes Islamists will flock to live in their new “homeland.”
Al-Habib is accused of stirring up sectarian hatred in Britain and in the Arab world between Shias and rival Sunni Muslims.
