Half of mosques under control of Riyadh ul Haq.

Almost half of Britain’s mosques are under the control of a hardline Islamic sect whose leading preacher loathes Western values and has called on Muslims to “shed blood” for Allah, an investigation by The Times has found.

Riyadh ul Haq, who supports armed jihad and preaches contempt for Jews, Christians and Hindus, is in line to become the spiritual leader of the Deobandi sect in Britain. The ultra-conservative movement, which gave birth to the Taleban in Afghanistan, now runs more than 600 of Britain’s 1,350 mosques, according to a police report seen by The Times.

The Times investigation casts serious doubts on government statements that foreign preachers are to blame for spreading the creed of radical Islam in Britain’s mosques and its policy of enouraging the recruitment of more “home-grown” preachers.

**No doubt PM Brown will bury his head in the sand on this. Too worried about offending the Saudi oil men I am sure.

Richard Littlejohn has a bit on moslem extremist books being lent out in public librarys.

A library book on bomb-making, sir? You'll find it under Religion
Richard Littlejohn

Borrowed any good books from your local public library lately?

I'm told Women Who Deserve To Go To Hell is proving especially popular in Tower Hamlets.

It may not have been shortlisted for the Whitbread Prize, but it apparently flies off the shelves in East London.

The crazy guys at Hibt ut-Tahrir are behind Funds In The Khilafah State, which contains a handy guide for Muslims on shedding the blood and seizing the property of apostates.

That, too, has found its way into the public libraries of Tower Hamlets, where you can also lay your hands on books by Abdullah al-Faisal and Abu Hamza, aka Captain Hook.

Both men have been convicted of terrorism offences and are currently behind bars...

Al-Faisal specialises in preaching death to Jews, Hindus and all Westerners and encourages young Muslim boys to learn how to make bombs, fire guns, fly airplanes and use missiles to murder "unbelievers".

In his seminal Natural Instincts, he writes: "The kafirs (unbelievers) are the henchmen of the Shaitaan (the devil). The only language these kafirs respect is jihad (holy war)."

Captain Hook, an Al Qaeda recruiting sergeant, is doing a seven stretch in Belmarsh after being found guilty of 11 counts of incitement to murder and racial hatred.

Hitherto, his literary achievements have gone largely unheralded, unless you include a number of pamphlets he has published for the benefit of wannabe suicide bombers.

Not everyone's choice of bedtime reading, granted. But Tower Hamlets library committee deemed both authors worthy of sufficient merit to be put on public display.

Call me old-fashioned, but not so long ago the only mention of Captain Hook you'd find in the library was in a dog-eared copy of Peter Pan, in the children's section.

I'd love to have been in the meeting at which the librarians decided to stock these books.

"Right, we've got to get that new Ian McEwan and the Sebastian Faulks. Oh, and the Monica Ali, she's very popular with our borrowers in the Brick Lane branch. The Guardian gave her four stars on Saturday.

"How about Captain Hook? No, not the JM Barrie version, that mullah from Finsbury Park. What's it called? The Martyrs' Guide To Throat-Slitting, I think it is. It was Pick of The Week in the Independent on Sunday.

"We had a couple of young chaps in yesterday asking for it. You know, those quiet lads with the beards and the rucksacks who spent all afternoon online, downloading bomb-making instructions. I remember because the copier packed up and they said they'd be back today."

It's not just Tower Hamlets, either. A new report from the think tank the Centre For Social Cohesion claims that some libraries are becoming "saturated with extreme Islamist books".

Many councils, including Birmingham, Leicester, Ealing and Blackburn, are happy to spend taxpayers' money on this seditious poison.

The report says: "Many of these books glorify acts of terrorism, incite violence against anyone who rejects jihadist ideologues and endorse violence and discrimination against women."

I wonder what the committed feminists on these councils' equality committees make of Women Who Deserve To Go To Hell.

Other titles include 40 books by Hassan Banna, of the violent Muslim Brotherhood, and Sayyid Qutb, who is said to have been a major influence on Osama Bin Laden.

Steve Rigby, of Blackburn Council, said: "Librarians do not act as censors where titles are freely available."
