Like the rest of the nation I was shocked and horrified by Wednesday’s un-Islamic killing. Not just by the act of killing an innocent off duty solider, but the savagery, butchery and hate by which it was carried out. And as if that wasn’t disturbing enough, the killer wanted to lecture the world on his views. He actually had a message for the rest of us!

In the age of social media and instance news, before the incident was confirmed the images of his blooded hands holding a blooded knife with one and a meat cleaver with the other were all over the globe.

As a Briton I felt ravaged and attacked and as a Muslim I felt let down and cheated.

Robbed by the misuse of my peaceful religion in this horrific and divisive crusade, because the Islam I know and grew with is serene, inviting, forgiving and inclusive. What happened on Wednesday was not in the name of Allah or Islamic. It was evil and the devil’s doing, it has nothing to do with Islam or the Koran.

However, as Muslims we have a responsibility to our country and our religion. We have a duty to vocally and openly condemn the barbaric and cowardly killing of Drummer Lee Rigby, but also have the responsibility it must never happen again.

Every mosque, community centre and local leader has to find a way to eradicate and stop this violence. Change the language of hate and feeling of disappear that pushes these young people into the arms of hate clerics and Islamic radicalism.

It is not the duty of the security services and the government alone, it is ours as well. It is the duty of every mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle and neighbour to denounce these acts, guide, love and support these young peoples and help them see their way.

Terrorism is like all other grim. It grows best in the dark and under the shadows of wickedness.

To eradicate it we must shin a light over it, not allow it to grow and flourish in our neighbourhoods and communities. Even if it means pushing it underground. It is better to be underground scared and doomed than in the open protected with freedom of speech and some liberal claptrap.

This evil must never be allowed to freely and openly grow amongst us.

The likes of Michael Adebolajo should never again feel free to kill and publicise their murder.

The killings of US born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki has undoubtedly shook Al-Qaida to its core. He was their English speaking spokesperson, their modern social media mastermind and the brains behind their Western recruitment drive.

From his hideaway in Yemen he recruited the Christmas Bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab – the Nigerian who attempted to blow up Northwest Flight 253 with a bomb in his underwear. Also, American born, Nidal Malik Hasan – the US Army officer who carried out the mass shootings in Fort Hood just month before he was due to be deployed to Afghanistan. Plus, Faisal Shahzad, the 30-year-old Pakistan-American who was responsible for the Times Square car bombing in New York City!

Al – Awlaki has also radicalized many young Muslims on both sides of the Atlantic with his Internet speeches and messages. There was no question that he was the modern day terrorist who cleverly used the latest technologies to reach his audience, with his astute use of the Internet, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter – he reached many and spread his message of hate and destructions wide and far.

Now, with his death Al – Qaida has suffered its second blow this year and lost two of their most powerful recruiters, could this possibly be the end?

News that a convicted terrorist – released after serving half his ‘reduced’ nine year sentence – cannot be kick out of the country is confusing to say the least!

Like most polarizing issues this one is no different.

The diehard liberals see deporting Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali as a human’s right matter. They argue even a terrorist and a decided killer, a hater of all things western should be treated humanely and his rights for a safe and just life should be observed and protected. Because we, as a civilized compassionate nation can’t possibly send a murder to his country of birth and risk him face ‘inhumane treatment or punishment’!

There is another camp that argues it’s best to ‘….keep your enemies closer’ they think it’s better for safety and security to keep Mr. Ali in the UK and keep a close eye on him, his actions and movements.

However, most of the country, especially those who lost loved ones in the bombing he took part in orchestrating – find Eritrean born Abdullah Ali, walking around freely, using public transport regularly and even possibly have it all paid for by the state, the taxes of those he loathe and hold in such deep contempt and disregards – extremely disturbing!

Last week, Deputy Prime Minster, Nick Clegg, closed his party conference by defiantly saying that the human rights act is here to stay!

My questions to Mr. Clegg, “what about the human rights of those who have to share the same public transports with Mr. Ali, those who felt cheated when his sentence was reduced before he was freed half way – what about the rights of the decent Britons who work hard, pay their taxes and harm no one?”

Criminals like Mr. Ali are not human and do not deserve our compassion, mercy or regard. He should be shipped back not cradled by the state, and the UK needs to look after its own – it’s high time we have our own Bill of Rights.
