The brave and valiant Omar Bakri Mohammed

The radical Muslim cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed, who is banned from the United Kingdom has attempted to board a ship evacuating Britons from Lebanon. When refused, he fled to the hills outside Beirut in fear of Israeli air strikes. Bakri Mohammed argued he should be allowed back to the UK to see his children, but was turned away by British officials. The former leader of the banned terror-supporting al-Muhajiroun group was banned from the UK in August last year because his presence "was not conducive to the public good."

This particular cleric who for years have preached holy war against the state of Israel and others and telling his listeners that he is a brave jihadist, that would happily die for Allah -- Yet his followers were shocked that he?s attempted to flee from Beirut because of some rumor that the Israelis know where he is, have his address as a bombing target and are after him.

Brave indeed, as long as it doesn't cost you anything, but when he gets the chance of living up to his claims of being a jihadist and wanting to fight Israel comes to him, what does he do. He runs away scared instead of putting his money where his mouth is! Pathetic really!
