A former mosque leader from Brighton is suspected of giving a speech in front of young children saying armed conflict and violence was their ‘religious obligation’, a court heard.
Abu Bakr Deghayes is charged with encouraging terrorism by saying ‘Jihad is compulsory’ at evening prayers and making stabbing motions.
The 53-year-old allegedly told the congregation that ‘scholars fought the enemies of Allah’.
I bet this never happens at a Canadian mosque. Not that we would know, the authorities don’t monitor them.
