UK Islamist Leader: Islam Will Dominate America

LONDON -- They've been called "megaphone
jihadists," radical Muslims who take to the streets of Western cities
demanding Islamic sharia law.
It's a rising movement in Europe that also shows signs of growth in America.
Meet Anjem Choudary
Anjem Choudary has been called the face of radical
Islam in Great Britain. He holds frequent rallies calling for sharia law
to be imposed on the United Kingdom.
CBN News first interviewed him in 2010, right after the British government banned his group, Sharia4UK.
On a recent visit to London, we found the ban has
failed to stop Choudary from spreading his message that Islam will soon
dominate Britain and the world.
"So you believe America, Great Britain, all of
Europe, will be Islamic states living under sharia?" CBN News'
Stakelbeck asked Choudary.
"I am convinced," he replied. "I am 100 percent
certain that the sharia will be implemented in America and in Britain
one day. The question is, 'when?' and how it will come to fruition."
He's unapologetic about what a society ruled by sharia would mean.
"If people are afraid of having their hands cut,
don't steal," Choudary said. "If you don't want to be stoned to death,
don't commit adultery. It seems to me that people want all of the vices
and they want to get away with it as well. But it doesn't work like
that."
Choudary's vision is catching on among some Western
Muslims. The group Sharia4UK has spawned at least two offshoots:
Sharia4Holland and Sharia4Belgium.
There's also Sharia4America, which Choudary said is active on U.S. soil, mainly in New York City.
"The seeds for the call for sharia in America have
been there for many decades," he told CBN News. "We have the
Sharia4America project, where we present what we consider to be an
alternative to democracy and freedom and the kind of life that people
lead in America."
Sharia4America is not alone. Its pro-sharia,
pro-caliphate message has been echoed in recent years by a Chicago-area
group called Hizb Ut-Tahrir America.
"Ultimately, the Americans are going to be
defeated," Choudary predicted. "They're going to be defeated back home
and they will be defeated militarily. And they will not get the
resources. They will go from the recession and the depression into, if
you like, a complete downfall."
Offensive Jihad on Horizon?
