And these are the brothers that are ready for Sharia? They need some Sharia in the heart first. Tell them to go to Saudi and sell their dope, rhetorically speaking.

Good. Banged to rights.

He was so well assimilated then? ...dealing drugs.

Just goes to show those causing problems for others have nothing remotely Islamic about them. Why on earth a drug dealer would think Islam requires his help in any way is beyond me.

SubhanAllah, what else can we expect from a petty criminal. It is yet, another example that shows these extremists have no knowledge of Islam or its rulings.

It is inconcievable to think that his 'protest' (I use the term very loosley) was defending the honour of al-Habeeb (saw). The quicker such lunatics are locked away the better. It is too much to ask for the good people of this country to accept such abhorent acts especially on the back of the recent bombings.

The cartoons have been offensive and have been viewed as an act of agression by all Muslims but the reaction from the lunatic fringe has been totally unacceptable.

He also chose the wrong country to perform such a stunt.

It should not escape anyone's observation the decency and the maturity that British institutions have demonstrated in this affair. I feel the conduct of the British press is quite impressive and distinct, and this should be commended.

Just a small point. Is it not possible that this individual might have put his drug dealing behind him and repented? It seems rather uncharitable and condescending to be labelling this guy a drug dealer whose help the Muslim community when we know nothing about his present situation. I do agree that his protest was ill judged but I don't suppose the media would have dragged up his drug dealing past if he had been an animal rights activist.

aicha, that was pretty fair.

As-salamu alaikum Aicha,

I agree with you sister, however, would say that this is even more reason he should not have protested the way he did. He should have known they'd did up his past and use it to smear all Muslims.

Since the media have demonstrated their unfairness time and again. We should not give them even the slightest excuse to smear and demonise us further.

"Is it not possible that this individual might have put his drug dealing behind him and repented? " Possible, yes, but probable? His drug-dealing past isn't very far behind him if he's still on license for his prison sentence for it. Even if he has "repented" he still seems to keep a criminal way of thinking: threaten to blow people- anyone- up if you don't like what someone says.

I think this is way off. look at the quotes in the original BBC article:\ "This man was at a political demonstration and he was clearly, we believe, making a point," said Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Steve House.

"None of the officers there looked at him and perceived him to be a risk to the public."

Downing Street has said the behaviour of some Muslim protesters in London was "completely unacceptable".

-A day later he goes to jail. And mind you that he immediately apologized for his stupid mistake. How can we be happy that he's going back to prison? Can you imagine how much violence and abuse he will face from other inmates when they find out he's the "bomber paki". La hawla wa la quwata ill billah. I wouldn't wish this on anyone, let alone a fellow Muslim.

This is nothing to do with him being a Muslim and everything to do with him being an idiot.

What people don't understand about parole is that criminals are let out under licence and have to keep their nose clean. Put a foot wrong and they serve the rest of their sentence.

They know the deal when they go in there. And if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Alex Lahoz,

Well let this trying time be an oppurtunity for him to earn Allah (azwajals) mercy. If he remains steadfast and has sabr, he is in a better position than we are right now. And all knowledge is with Allah (azawajal)

I have to agree with Ol'Pickle here. He should have known that wearing the jacket would of landed him back in jail and end his parole, especially when the press are looming around. The photographers had a field day with him(all that ££££ that they made from the pics.) Inshallah prison will give him time to regain some common sense which was definatly lacking!

Bikhair, obviously the best thing in trying circumstances is turn to Allah. However my issue is the glee that some of showed over our brother's punishment. It smacks of self-centeredness and lack of compassion. Also your first comment on this post... I have very serious sins as well and not so far behind me as his drug selling is and I imagine most of do too. Yet that doesn't preclude our feeling love for our Master Muhammad, alaihi salatu wa salam, or from feeling anger when he's disrespected. Surely it was a stupid thing to do. And surely he made all Muslims look bad to some people, particularly those who hate us no matter how upstanding we are. But I don't think I'm better than him, and especially not to point of feeling joy at his incarceration. I apologize for the long post and for the harsh tone, but I can't stand to see people rejoice over the suffering of others.

Salaam, I would have to agree with AlexLahoz. I don't agree with the way you've written that post Brother Yusuf. It sounds very...
