Sulayman Keeler
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sulayman Keeler (born Sulayman Keeler) is the leader of Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah, a British Islamist organization.[1] He is a former of Al-Muhajiroun, a designated and banned terrorist organization, and led the Society of Converts to Islam.[2]
He has described the September 11, 2001 attacks as "magnificent"[3] and called the Queen of England an "enemy of Islam and Muslims."[1]
A court sentenced Keeler to twenty-eight days imprisonment after he assaulted a police officer during a demonstration in London in December 1998.[2] Years later he was again arrested after he assaulted BNP members at a rally.[3]
Keeler held a press conference in London on 18 November 2005, formally 'launching' Ahlus Sunnah wal Jamaah]].[1]
In an interview with BBC News, Keeler expressed his opposition to democracy, and compared British Prime Minister Tony Blair to Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, saying, "I don't believe in democracy. It's man made. You're talking about a government that taxes the people to death. It oppresses many millions of people in the world. It wouldn't be such a shame to have them overturned... Tony Blair, sends a bunch of aircraft into Iraq, bombs a bunch of people... Osama Bin Laden, who sends a bunch of aeroplanes into America and bombs a bunch of people - what is the difference? You tell me."[3]
