Reading University cancels "kill gays" Islamist preacher

'"Thahabi endorses the murder of gay people and of Muslims who give up their faith. He says women are deficient and encourages the beating of little girls who refuse to wear the hijab," said Peter Tatchell, Director of the human rights lobby, the Peter Tatchell Foundation.'

'Background Briefing on Abu Usamah at-Thahabi

Abu Usamah at-Thahabi has previously urged that gay people should be punished with death.

"Do you practice homosexuality with men? Take that homosexual man and throw him off the mountain," Thahabi was recorded as saying by Channel Four's Dispatches programme.

"If I were to call homosexuals perverted, dirty, filthy dogs who should be murdered, that's my freedom of speech, isn't it?"

On Muslims who leave the faith he said: "Kill him in the Islamic state...If the Imam wants to crucify him, he should crucify him. The person is put up on the wood and he's left there to bleed to death for three days."

He was filmed by Channel Four deriding women as "deficient", inferior to men and religiously and intellectually "incomplete."

He advocates violence against little girls who refuse to wear the hijab: "She should start hijab from the age of seven, by the age of ten it becomes an obligation on us to force her to wear hijab and if she doesn't wear hijab, we hit her."

Thahabi was caught on camera making these incitements while addressing worshippers at the Green Lane Mosque in Birmingham.

When he was later interviewed by Channel 4 News, he refused to withdraw or apologise for his comments.'
