Over in Pakistan a women is mourning the death of her two sons. Not because of flooding, but because a lynch mob beat them to death before hanging them for all to see, including the police.
The boys, one aged fifteen and the other seventeen, were on their way to play cricket when they were mistaken for robbers.
And our government are happy to let these savages into our country, creating their own little ghettos where white British people aren't allowed to walk.
In just over a week’s time up to 10,000 EDL members are due to march in Bradford against Islamic extremism.
But as the day drawers near, senior police officer Sir Norman Bettison, Chief Constable of the West Yorkshire force, is seeking emergency powers to ban the march fearing it could provoke widespread violence.
Mr Bettison should take a good look at the UAF and ban them instead.
In the run up to the march they will be stirring up the locals; incitement to violence is their goal and as usual it will be they who will be causing trouble and getting arrested.
While the UK is in it's worst ever recession, the Welsh Assembley have committed £175,000 of tax payer's money for the building of yet another Indian restaurant in Newport, Wales, even though there are three Indian restaurants just up the road.
Where is the Welsh Assembly when Farmers, Retail Industries and Engineering companies need help from them?
German intelligence is warning of a new breed of terrorist - whole family groups travelling to training camps on the Afghan-Pakistan border where they learn how to use explosives and raise funds.
Parents travelling with children have in the past raised less suspicion than single men or women travelling to and from Germany.
Now officials have the names of 100 suspects they believe may be radicalised and ready to strike.
Germany is braced for a terror attack after repeated threats because of its involvement in Afghanistan.
Authorities say the new breed of terrorist - including Germans who have converted to Islam - even travel with babies to the 'bandit country' of Waziristan.
'Authorities are also concerned by the sheer speed with which this third generation are radicalised and their abrupt readiness to disappear and start a new life in a terror training camp,' said a report in Der Spiegel magazine on Monday.
One couple was identified as Jan and Alexandra, 20 and 17, when they vanished with another couple from Berlin to learn jihad. At the time Alexandra was six months' pregnant.
They travelled from Berlin with another couple who authorities suspect were also headed for a new life as jihadists.
Investigators believe Jan has appeared in a video for a new jihadist group, which has posted threats on the internet promising to blow up German landmarks like the Brandenburg Gate and the railway station in Hamburg.
Five Pakistanis have been arrested while trying to fly to Manchester using fake documents.
They checked into Islamabad airport supposedly enroute to Dubai. Once at the airport, they exchanged documents with five other men who had documents for the Manchester flight. Raja Zia Ul Haq, Raja Fizal Ul Haq, Muhammed Usman, Imran Asgher and Abid Hussain were caught on CCTV and arrested, while the British 'nationals' went on to Dubai.
While we all know that Pakistan is a training ground for terrorism, Sky's home affairs correspondant, Mark Wright said:
"the arrests are unlikey to be terrorism related and are more likely related to an immigration offence"
This morning, barring an unlikely last-minute reprieve, convicted drug smuggler Akmal Shaikh was executed by firing squad, having been found guilty of trying to bring 4kg of heroin into China.
His case has prompted outrage in this country from politicians and from the trendy metropolitan elite, for whom drug use is a fashionable habit rather than serious criminal offence.
Yet for all this orchestrated wailing, is it not possible that China is right to put Shaikh to death?
Indeed, I would argue that Britain's enfeebled, self-destructive approach to narcotics has been graphically highlighted by China's ruthlessness in tackling drug pushers.
In contrast to New Labour's policy of appeasement and surrender, the Chinese Government acts vigorously to defend its people from the misery caused by the drugs trade.
My regret is not over tough action by Beijing, but the fact that we in this country do not possess the moral clarity or strength of purpose to deal ruthlessly with drug peddlers and other enemies of our society.
A bankrupt with a chequered financial history, a tangled personal life, and an obsession with easy money, Shaikh was arrested with heroin worth a cool £250,000 in his suitcase.
As the Chinese police point out, this is a big enough amount to have killed 27,000 people.
In China, the death penalty can be invoked against anyone carrying more than 50g of drugs - and that is one obvious reason why China, proportionally, has nothing like the drugs problem that we have in Britain.
Serious dealers and abusers know they could be looking down the barrel of a gun if they are caught.
It is the height of hypocrisy for the Labour government, the human rights brigade and celebrity loudmouths to lecture China when Britain's own strategy has failed so disastrously.
Thanks to the climate of institutionalised leniency, our society is awash with drugs, bringing widespread crime, violence and family breakdown in their wake.
Dealers and users conduct their business knowing they have absolutely nothing to fear from our courts. Far from condemning cannabis and cocaine, our achingly liberal youth culture glamorises their possession.
Vacuous supermodel Kate Moss was caught using cocaine by undercover reporters, most of the fashion world rallied behind her with a sense of moral indignation, protecting her lucrative contracts and behaving as though she were a victim.
In showbusiness circles there was speculation for a long time that cocaine was not Kate's only drug of choice - that she had also smoked heroin and crack cocaine.
Nor has Moss's former boyfriend, musician Pete Doherty, ever received a meaningful sentence, despite repeated convictions for misuse and other criminal behaviour.
In 2007, for instance, he was spared jail over a string of offences and was even allowed by Judge Jane McIvor, who claimed to be a fan of his music, to delay a court hearing.
Similarly, drug-addled singers Amy Winehouse and George Michael have been lionised by the music establishment.
British officialdom now adopts a simpering indulgence towards drug abuse. Politicians line up to boast how much cannabis they smoked in their youth and downgrade the criminal classification of substances.
Instead of locking up offenders, the Government wastes a fortune of taxpayers' money on non-judgmental propaganda like the useless television adverts from the £2.2million Frank campaign.
Public funds are lavished on rehabilitation schemes, all of which have failed to prevent a dramatic rise in abuse.
Unlike China with its firing squads, the only 'shooting galleries' we have in Britain are state-run needle exchanges for junkies.
Outrageously, self-inflicted drug addiction is now regarded by the welfare state as a disability, entitling claimants to generous payouts of at least £110 a week. In effect, the Government requires taxpayers to subsidise criminal drug habits. It's estimated no fewer than 267,000 serious drug users live on social security.
In contrast to China, our criminal justice system no longer treats offending seriously. Criminals walk free, community punishments are meaningless, jail sentences, even for murder, are derisory.
Ordinary citizens are constantly bullied through a plethora of bureaucratic regulations, yet violence, burglary, theft and drug abuse carry no consequences.
One key factor behind modern Britain's reluctance to uphold the law is the belief that criminals are really victims of society, motivated only by social disadvantage or mental health problems and that they need support not punishment.
We can see this clearly in the case of Akmal Shaikh. Campaigners on his behalf claim he was suffering from mental illness at the time of his visit to China and so should be let off.
Such excuse-making is absurd. His record of infidelity, sexual harassment and dubious business conduct suggest he was amoral, selfish, and irresponsible.
He was once fined £10,000 for hounding a woman he had recruited as his secretary, while it is telling that his former first wife refused to join the campaign for a reprieve.
The hysteria over Shaikh's death penalty echoes the preposterous outcry in 2002 over another British man who was executed by a foreign government.
A career thug, drug addict and alcoholic, Tracy Housel was put to death by the U.S. state of Georgia for raping and killing a woman, Jeanne Drew, whose body was so badly battered she could be identified only by dental records.
Once again, there were the interventions by the Labour Government. Once again, there were the claims of mental illness, with Housel said to be suffering from brain damage and hypoglycaemia, though this hardly explained his record of extreme violence.
Once again there was the tenuous nature of the defendant's links with Britain, which hardly justified the energy the Government spent on his case. Housel, born in Bermuda, had never actually set foot in this country.
Similarly Shaikh, born in Pakistan, spent much of his adult life in the U.S. and Poland before going on his criminal odyssey to China. Neither of these men could demonstrate any real commitment or connection to Britain.
The British government, with its prattle about human rights, likes to think a refusal to use capital punishment is a badge of a civilised society. The truth is the willingness to execute dangerous criminals is a sign of compassion. It means a government is determined to protect the vulnerable and maintain morality.
It is no coincidence Britain was at its most peaceful and crime-free in the Forties and Fifties, when we still had the death penalty.
'The gentleness of English civilisation is its most marked characteristic,' wrote George Orwell during the war, a remark that seems laughable now, though we think of ourselves morally superior.
Between 1950 and 1957, the number of murders in Britain never rose above 180. The annual average in recent years is over 900.
Overall crime has also shot up since we abolished capital punishment. Since the Fifties, the number of recorded crimes has increased more than tenfold, up from 438,000 in 1955 to 4.8 million in 2008.
This is because the removal of the death penalty has had a downward ratchet effect.
Since murderers could no longer be hanged, sentences for all other crimes had to be lowered commensurately. The result is the near-anarchy we see today, where serial offenders continually escape custody and rates of violent crime soar.
There is nothing barbaric about the death penalty. The real barbarism lies in refusing to punish criminals.
The drug-fuelled, crime-ridden, welfare-dependent, fear-filled inner city housing estate in modern Britain is far more savage than any place of execution in China for a trafficker of human misery.
I have been watching with interest the story of Akmal Shaikh, the Pakistani who smuggled 4,030 grammes of heroin into China.
Four kilos of heroin; that’s enough to cause 26,800 deaths.
This morning, Akmal was executed by lethal injection and buried immediately.
According to his family, and of course all the newspapers, Shaikh was bipolar and therefore not responsible for his actions.
If you are bipolar you suffer bouts of depression followed by bouts of elation, with normality in between. You are fully aware of your actions and this I why I support China’s decision to carry out the execution.
I would like to know if Shaikh gave the names of those who asked him to carry these drugs. If he didn’t, it proves he knew exactly what he was doing and it is one more reason for his sentence to be carried out.
According to the Chinese embassy in London, Shaikh had ‘no previous medical record’ of mental illness and that his rights and interests had been properly respected.
Davivd Milliband, the British Foreign Secretary said: ‘The UK is completely opposed to the use of the death penalty in all circumstances’
I’m sorry to tell you this, David, but you do not speak for the whole of the UK and you certainly don’t speak for me.
One look at the comments in today’s newspapers prove that. This morning’s poll showed that 63% agreed with China’s decision.
As usual, our Government can’t keep their nose out of other countries business; gormless Gordon is appalled at the outcome and leads condemnation of the execution ‘in the strongest terms‘.
Jiang Yu, the Chinese Foreign minister said:
‘Britain’s robust response risked souring diplomatic relations. No one has the right to comment on china’s judicial sovereignty.
It is the common wish of people around the world to strike against the crime of drug trafficking and we express our strong dissatisfaction and opposition to the British Governments unreasonable criticism of the case.
We urge the British to correct their mistake in order to avid harming China-UK relations.’
When are our ‘leaders’ going to learn that we have no right to tell other countries what to do?
And what was Pakistan’s stance in all this? After all, Shaikh was Pakistani, not, as the newspapers say, British.
The following is a comment from the Daily Mail which I think sums it up nicely:
Being a recovering addict I know only too well what people are prepared to do to acquire this pernicious drug. I fully understand that I am in the position I am in now as a result of my own misguided actions. Along the way I have lost a lot of friends and credibility. Thankfully my family and some friends have stood by me, (despite abusing this support on numerous occasions). I have now been clean for two and a half years and still everyday is a struggle. Now with regard to Akmal Shaikh. As a sufferer of bi-polar disorder myself, I have no sympathy for him whatsoever. He deserves to reap what he has sown and at least the 4kg of heroin was kept off the streets and hopefully some people may have been spared a lifetime of addiction and crime as a result of not being introduced to Heroin. Finally, I am also concerned that through first hand experience a lot of the drugs in this country are supplied from a certain section of the community who believe the majority are morally devoid. - Dean, Blackburn, 28/12/2009 14:27
Last night, we were in conversation with a muslim over on chatroll. He was saying that muslims in Britain were peaceful and that anything said otherwise was lies.
This video has been uploaded specifically for him and shows the venom that spews sraight from the mouths of third generation muslims in our British cities.
The youths in this video brag about hating whites, Jews and blacks and imagine a Britain in 20 years - their new Pakistan.
They also threaten to 'mash up' the black interviewer.
An Iraqi asylum seeker entered the country 3 years ago. He ‘toured’ Britain and decided to stay in Derbyshire. He signed up with an agency who found him a job paying £8.50 an hour. A good wage for this area.
During this time he gained a British passport, entered into an arranged marriage and his wife came over to join him. They immediately had a child.
After a while the company set him on full time. 3 months into the job he declared he was to become a full time carer for his wife who has a bad back. The company agreed to keep him on for 8 hours per week.
At work, this man has been laughing about how easy it is to come into our country and play the system. The benefits his family claim, plus his wages, are worth around £34,000 a year.
When are the British people going to wake up and vote for a party that will put an end to the deliberate ruination of our country?
This is a true story. It comes from a very close friend who works with the Iraqi. Yes, Iraqi.
He may have a British passport but he will NEVER be British.
An illegal immigrant rapist was on the run today after escaping guards while being taken to the toilet.
Imtiaz Hussain, 44, said to be a 'serious threat to women', was being escorted to the Pakistan High Commission in London when he fled.
He had been at a meeting to get a new passport so he could be deported at the end of nine-year sentence for trying to rape two women at knifepoint.
Hussain was being escorted by security guards from G4S Care and Justice Services when he fled the building through a window on Friday afternoon.
He was last seen running across Sloane Square.
A Home Office spokesman said they could not confirm whether he had been handcuffed at the time, or how many security officers were with him before he escaped.
DCI Brent Lancaster said: 'This individual is believed to be very dangerous and we need to apprehend him as soon as possible.
'If anyone sees him, please don’t approach him, but alert the police immediately.”
Hussain, a failed asylum seeker, is described as Asian, around 5ft 5in tall and of medium to chubby build with dark, short hair. He was wearing a blue T-shirt, blue jeans and white trainers.
He was jailed for rape and false imprisonment after the two attacks, which took place in the space of a week in Derby in 2004.
Sentencing him at the time, Judge David Pugsley said: 'I am concerned that he presents a serious threat to women.'
Police hunting the rapist believe he could have headed back to Derby.
Anyone with any information has been asked to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the Marine Barracks in Lebanon !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the military Barracks in Saudi Arabia !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the American Embassies in Africa !
REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of the USS COLE!
REMEMBER the MUSLIM attack on 9/11/2001 !
REMEMBER all the AMERICAN lives that were lost in those vicious MUSLIM attacks! Now President Obama has directed the United States Postal Service to REMEMBER and HONOR the EID MUSLIM holiday season with a new commemorative 44 Cent First Class Holiday Postage Stamp..
REMEMBER to adamantly & vocally BOYCOTT this stamp, when you are purchasing your stamps at the post office.
All you have to say is "No thank you, I do not want that Muslim Stamp on my letters!"
To use this stamp would be a slap in the face to all those AMERICANS who died at the hands of those whom this stamp honors.
Here is something to chew on...
They (MUSLIMS) don't even believe in Christ, & they're getting their own Christmas stamp! BUT, don't dare to dream of posting the ten commandments on federal property! This is truly UNBELIEVABLE !!!
Goodbye to my England, So long my old friend
Your days are numbered, being brought to an end
To be Scottish, Irish or Welsh that's fine
But don't say you're English, that's way out of line.
The French and the Germans may call themselves such
As may Norwgians, the Swedes and the Dutch
You can say you are Russian or maybe a Dane
But don't say you're English ever again
At Broadcasting House the word is taboo
In Brussels its Scrapped, in Parliament too
Even schools are affected, staff do as they're told
They must not teach children about England of old
Writers like Shakespeare, Milton and Shaw
The pupils do not learn about them anymore
How about Agincourt, Hastings, Arnhem or Mons
When England lost hosts of her very brave sons
We are not Europeans, how can we be?
Europe is miles away over the sea
We're the English from England, let's all be proud
Stand up and be counted- Shout it out loud
Let's tell our Government and Brussels too
We're proud of our heritage and the red Whitee and blue
Fly the flag of Saint George or the Union Jack
Let the world know - we want OUR ENGLAND BACK !!!!

Andrew Malone’s account of an interview with Anjem Choudary
On a hot summer afternoon, a man with a microphone stands on a busy London street. He is a tubby figure and sports a black, bushy beard, flecked with grey. He is shrieking at passing shoppers, insisting they follow him - and save their souls.
Teams of young, tough-looking men - all clearly devoted to their leader - dart through the crowds, handing out leaflets and haranguing anyone who questions their message.
From the other side of the street, you could be forgiven for thinking this is a harmless, if colourful, example of citizens making full use of Britain's ancient tradition of free speech.
But there is nothing harmless about what is really going on here. For the man with the microphone is Anjem Choudary, branded the most dangerous man in Britain.
An extremist who believes his sole-calling is to wage holy war against Britain and her 'infidel' allies, he is trying - and succeeding - to prepare the ground for his global Islamic jihad.
Funded by the taxpayer - he claims benefits so that he has plenty of free time to spread his message - Choudary is openly staging these 'Islamic roadshows' across Britain. And their aim is to recruit young British men prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice for his chilling cause.
Islamic law in Britain
Exhorting Britain's 1.8 million Muslims to follow his example, Choudary dreams of seeing the black crescent flag, which is the symbol of his organisation, flying over Downing Street, and a draconian form of sharia law imposed across the UK.
He wants alcohol banned, amputations for thieves, and adulterers to be stoned to death.
'People are living in anarchy,' he says. 'There is a rape every minute. Islam has the answer to everything.
'It is a deterrent. If you steal, you know you will face having your hands and feet cut off. Why should I not invite the British people to embrace Islam and save themselves from punishment in the hereafter?'
In the last six weeks, Choudary has staged six 'roadshows' around Britain. He rose to particular prominence when he posted a video on his website of an unidentified 11-year-old white youth called 'Sean' being converted to Islam during a show in Birmingham last month.
This was not an isolated incident. The extent of Choudary's activities in the UK, disclosed here following a Mail investigation, raise disturbing questions about how individuals with known terror links are allowed to flout the law and openly recruit on British streets.
For, to the dismay of anti-terrorism experts and the security services, his recruitment strategy appears to be working. Reports this month revealed that British Islamic militants are fighting alongside extremists intent on overthrowing the government in Pakistan.
'Brummie' fighters
And in Afghanistan, where British forces have already lost 16 men during bloody clashes with the Taliban this month, it has been reported that men with broad English accents have been battling our soldiers. One militant shot dead by the British earlier this year even had an Aston Villa football club tattoo on his body.
'People are always going back and forth to the UK,' reveals Maajid Nawaz, a former militant with links to Choudary, who has since renounced violence.
He added that religious leaders such as Choudary: 'Set the mood music for suicide bombers to dance to.'
According to terrorism experts, Choudary is the recruiting sergeant for what U.S. intelligence dubs Britain's 'Generation Jihad'.
For years, 'Salahuddin' - the son of teachers - drifted from job to job, working at one point as a security guard at the BBC's Broadcasting House. He drank heavily and didn't know what to do with his life. And then he met a member of Choudary's circle while studying carpentry at a West London college.
The meeting changed his life. 'I'd already gone off pork,' he tells me. 'I had my last drink on holiday in Cyprus last year - just one pint. Michael Jackson's death to me was a sign - he said he was a Muslim, but he didn't live the life of a good Muslim.'
As members of the 'Islamic brotherhood' come up to greet him as we walk down the street, ' Salahuddin' also says he would be happy to fight - and die - overseas for the cause and that Islam must defeat Western aggression.
Insisting the Koran preaches love, he adds: 'The soldiers taking part in these wars are the enemies of Islam so I don't support them in any way nor any man-made government or law. These governments are the terrorists.
'I would love to see sharia law in the UK,' he adds. 'There are a lot of people who need to have fear in their lives. It would bring back standards.
'If there is no fear, people just act on their whims, drinking alcohol and taking drugs and having sex.'
Choudary, for his part, denies he has links to terrorism. During an interview in the Desert Rose Algerian cafe in the heart of London, he plays the fool, saying he has not personally made any bombs. 'But I do make a very good omelette,' he chuckles.
A former lawyer, he understands the pitfalls of telling the 'enemy' too much. Privately, however, he has been secretly taped urging his followers to raise money for Islamic fighters in Afghanistan and Iraq, saying this would help them kill the 'butchers and cowards' from the U.S. and Britain.
Captured Al Qaeda terrorists, held at GuantanamoBay, have also claimed that Choudary staged a 'camping trip' for militants in 2003, at an Islamic school in East Sussex.
Here, another leading Islamic fundamentalist taught young Britons how to use AK-47s and rocket launchers. Choudary insists they were only 'paintballing'. Under the Terrorism Act 2000, it is an offence to 'invite another to provide money or other property' for the purposes of terrorism. Offenders risk a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
A founding member of extremist groups which are banned in many countries, such as Hizb ut-Tahrir and Al-Muhajiroun, which praised the 'magnificent' July 7 London terror attacks in 2005 that killed 52 innocent people, Choudary now runs a hardline sect called Ahlus Sunnah Wal Jama'aah Muntada. It currently has an estimated 1,000 members - and exactly the same aims as earlier banned groups.
Other original members of this organisation are currently in prison, including Simon Keeler, a white Briton who was sentenced to four years in 2008 for raising money for terrorism, and is a devout follower of Osama Bin Laden.
Abu Izzadeen, a Jamaican formerly known as Trevor Brooks, and a close friend of Choudary's, is also serving a prison term after his sermons at the Regent's Park mosque were found to be inciting terrorism and calling for its funding.
Leading voice
In their absence, Choudary is the group's leading voice. He certainly retains impeccable jihadist connections, for he is also right-hand man and close confidant of Omar Bakri, who often addresses Choudary's meetings via video-link from Lebanon.
Known as the 'Tottenham Ayatollah', Bakri is an Islamic firebrand who supports Al-Qaeda and is regarded as a threat to Western security.
Banned from Britain on the orders of the Home Secretary, and now directing operations from the Middle East, Bakri admitted to being in contact with the July 7 suicide bombers and giving them 'religious guidance' at mosques in Leeds and Bradford.
According to former members of his sect, Choudary also holds classes to help new recruits avoid surveillance by British intelligence. He teaches them to regularly change mobile phones and computers so they don't leave an electronic trail.
He certainly doesn't shy away from preaching about jihad.
'Jihad is part of the Koran,' he says. 'What the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya and Palestine are doing is defending themselves from foreigner fighters coming to kill them. It's outrageous that we get called terrorists if we speak about the right to defend ourselves.'
But Choudary doesn't draw the line at fighting holy war in Asia. He wants the UK to become an Islamic state itself.
Sharia courts throughout Britan
As the Mail revealed last month, there are already at least 85 sharia courts in the UK. These courts rule on civil matters, such as divorce and financial disputes, and make a mockery of the principle that there should be one law for all Britons.
But Choudary believes these courts do not go far enough. He believes Muslim immigrants will eventually breed out the native British population, pointing out that Medina once had just 200 Muslim inhabitants but went on to become the second city of Islam.
This, he says, will pave the way for the implementation of a brutal form of sharia law that forces women to cover themselves completely in public, and bans them from education and employment.
But his message, preached in mosques and private halls around Britain, is attracting an enthusiastic audience.
In addition to 'Salahuddin,' Choudary claims to have converted 25 young men to his cause in the last six weeks alone. Many are former alcoholics and addicts, who now zealously promote Islam and want to see people publicly lashed for consuming alcohol.
Four of these converts agreed to speak to me, even though they regard non-Muslims as 'unclean'.
'It is only permitted for us to speak to you if we are propagating Islam - otherwise we would ignore you,' explains Abdul, 24.
'Of course we must support Osama bin Laden,' adds another of the youths, who refuses to give his name. 'I would be proud to give my life in the name of Islam. We are the oppressed. We are involved in a defensive jihad to protect ourselves.'
Benefits of Islam
None of those I speak to let real work get in the way of their holy war; Choudary's recruits are told that it is their Muslim duty to claim benefits, ensuring that they make no contribution to the 'enemy' British state.
Choudary leads by example. Now separated from his wife and three children, for years he has received more than £1,700 a month in benefits from the British taxpayer.
Choudary is the son of immigrants from Pakistan, part of a wave of Muslims who came to Britain from the sub-continent in the Sixties.
But he found the strictures of religion suffocating as a child growing up in Kent and as soon as he left home, he went wild.
As a medical student at SouthamptonUniversity, he was known as Andy and was a hard-drinking womaniser with a fondness for cannabis and LSD. So bad was his drinking and drug-taking that he flunked his first-year medical exams, forcing him to switch to commercial law.
He moved to London after university, teaching English to foreign language students and, say colleagues, trying to sleep with as many of them as possible. In the Nineties, after qualifying as a lawyer, he became bitter and depressed when his application for a lucrative post at a City law firm was rejected.
He then started attending mosques around London, and was introduced to Bakri and Abu Hamza, the hook-handed Islamic firebrand who also supports terrorism in this country and abroad.
Choudary stopped drinking and womanising and grew a beard. He was 'radicalised', deciding that Islam was the answer to his problems. And now he wants to foist his extremist views on the rest of us.
'Dangerous' appeasement
So why is he allowed to preach hate on Britain's streets? Many anti-terror experts believe Britain's tolerant policy towards Islamic radicals is dangerously misguided. Quoting Churchill's famous views on appeasement, one told me it was like 'feeding a crocodile, hoping it will eat you last'.
Tory MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of Parliament's counter terrorism committee, certainly believes that there should be an urgent police investigation into Choudary's activities.
'He is subverting and suborning vulnerable youngsters with a view to turning them into mujahedin,' he says.
'We should focus attention on banning organisations which poison the minds of young Muslims and are conveyor belts to terrorism.'
But back at the Algerian cafe, Choudary again tries to persuade me to convert to Islam.
'We'd have to give you a new name - how about Osama?' he smirks.
Then he gets to his feet; the interview is over. With his four minders - burly men in Islamic garb - he strolls out into the London streets.
As they leave, they all snigger at a private gag. Even wearing smirks, they look dangerous. The joke, it seems, is on us.
Nicholas Kafouris, teacher at racist Bigland Green Primary school in East London
A teacher claims he has been sacked for reprimanding pupils who made racist remarks about his being a Christian.
Nicholas Kafouris said he lost his £30,000-a-year post because he would not tolerate the 'openly racist' behaviour of pupils as young as eight.
He said the predominantly Muslim youngsters openly praised Islamic extremists in class, and hailed the September 11 terrorists as 'heroes and martyrs'.
Greek-born Mr Kafouris, 40, taught for more than ten years at Bigland Green Primary in Tower Hamlets, East London, where according to the most recent Ofsted report 'almost all' the 465 pupils are from ethnic minorities and a vast proportion do not speak English as a first language.
He is taking the school, its headmistress and assistant head to an employment tribunal where he will claim he was forced out after highlighting the rise in racism among pupils.
In 2006, said Mr Kafouris, he brushed against a boy while giving him a book.
'He said rather brusquely to me, "Don't touch me, you're a Christian". I found this very offensive.'
Later that year, he said children aged eight and nine in his class praised the suicide bombers in the 9/11 attacks.
'In late November and December 2006, many various unacceptable and openly racist, anti-Semitic and anti-Christian remarks were being made by many and various children in Year 4,' he said.
'These included, "We want to be Islamic bombers when we grow up", "the Twin Towers bombers are heroes and martyrs", "we hate the Jews" and "we hate the Christians".'
And in January 2007, he claims some pupils 'expressed delight' that a child had died when a wall collapsed on him in London.
When asked why, he said one of the children replied: 'Because he's English.' The following month, during a religious education lesson about Jonah and the whale, he claims one of the pupils asked if Jonah was a Jew, before shouting: 'I hate the Jews, they're our enemies.'
Mr Kafouris says he completed 'Racist Incident Reporting Sheets' and notified headmistress Jill Hankey in writing about each incident.
But he claims his concerns were ignored because she wanted to maintain the school's 'good' Ofsted rating.
Mr Kafouris, who is unmarried and has no children, was also reprimanded for handling a discussion about religion with a child 'inappropriately', which he denies.
He says assistant head Margaret Coleman accused him of shouting at pupils and telling them Muslims had produced suicide bombers - claims he rejects.
'I believe after I complained to the head about the racist and religious discrimination incidents, I suffered victimisation,' he says.
'I also suffered less favourable treatment and incurred harassment by the head and assistant head.
'The two people above created an intimidating, hostile, degrading, threatening, humiliating and offensive environment for me at my work.'
Mr Kafouris says the way he was treated brought on stress and depression, and that he was forced to take time off work. He was finally dismissed because of his absence, on April 30 this year.
A spokesman for Tower Hamlets Council, on behalf of the school, said: 'The governing body stands by its decision and we believe all the correct procedures were followed.'
