UK: Muslim former member of group that celebrated 9/11 now working as delivery driver

This puts any of Just Eat’s customers who may be foes of jihad terror at risk. Imagine if this savage knocks on a door and sees someone who has stood up for the defense of Britain as a free society. Just Eat should not be so irresponsible. But there are no doubt so many devout jihadis in Britain, they have no choice.

“Jihadi who could deliver your next takeaway order: Fanatic’s group celebrated after 9/11 attacks and burned poppies,” by Emine Sinmaz, Daily Mail, May 9, 2017:

A former right-hand man of hate preacher Anjem Choudary who fought in Syria is now back in the UK – working as a takeaway delivery driver.

The 34-year-old extremist – who can be identified only by his pseudonym Abu Rayah – was the frontman of Muslims Against Crusades.

The group celebrated the 9/11 attacks, set fire to poppies, and threatened to burn effigies of Prince William and Kate on their wedding day.

He was described as MAC’s spokesman and also ‘played a significant role’ in Al-Muhajiroun, which influenced a generation of home-grown terrorists.

Rayah appeared in propaganda videos for the banned terror group and was pictured standing beside Choudary at a number of hateful protests – but still managed to get a job in the NHS before travelling to Syria.

Despite engaging in ‘terrorism-related activity likely including fighting’ in the war-torn country, he was able to travel freely through Europe and the Middle East upon his return.

He is one of around 400 Britons thought to have returned to the UK after fighting alongside insurgents in the Middle East.

The only sanction he has since faced is the cancellation of his British passport.

It can now be revealed that he is working as a driver for a restaurant, delivering takeaways to the homes of unsuspecting customers via food app Just Eat.

Speaking outside his council flat in East London, the Bangladeshi-born extremist said: ‘I haven’t had my passport removed. I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t want to know.’

Rayah travelled to Turkey in February 2014 under the guise of a ‘two-week family holiday’.

From there, he entered Syria for up to four months ‘to engage in terrorism-related activity, likely including fighting on behalf on an Islamist extremist group’.

MI5 believes Rayah may have associated with other Al-Muhajiroun members in Syria, including Omar Ali Hussain, who has admitted to being involved in the beheading of up to four people in the war-torn country.

He returned to Europe, and was interviewed in the UK after he was deported from Bulgaria on suspected terror offences. However, he was able to leave the country on two more occasions, travelling to Prague and Warsaw.

But in March 2015, his passport was cancelled by the Home Office on the grounds that his activities posed ‘a risk to the national security of the UK’. He sought a judicial review of the decision at the High Court but lost.

A judgment delivered in March said: ‘He acknowledges that in the period from 2008 to early 2011 he had some involvement with two organisations now proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000, Al-Muhajiroun and Muslims Against Crusades.

‘He describes MAC as having been affiliated to Al-Muhajiroun. He states that, “While I remain religious, my views are mainstream and moderate. I regret my past association and the publicity I had engaged in”. ’

But judges Lord Justice Bean and Mr Justice Supperstone rejected his lawyers’ claims that his passport should not have been removed.

A summary of the Home Office’s case against him revealed that the decision to remove his passport was based on continued involvement with terror groups and Islamic extremists….
