I like Choudary, I don't get all the hate and disrespect being directed at him. He is very different to a lot of Muslims, he is very honest, open and he tells it how it is. He wasn't always a pious Muslim, there are many photos of him, smoking, drinking alcohol, looking at porn mags and smoking what appears to be drugs.
He also defended Ed Hussain, author of the book The Islamist, as he is a qualified lawyer. Although he has since been debarred from the profession. He says what most Muslims think, but are too clever to say publicly. When you listen to Choudary, know that this is what most Muslims are taught and think, but won't say it to your face.
I don't get why people get worked up about him? Do you get worked up about the other 3 million Muslims who want sharia law, but won't say it to your face?
Stop complaining about one man, who is honest enough to tell you what he is doing. Worry about the other 3 million Muslims who are keeping quiet.
I may not agree with Choudary's views, but I admire him for his honesty.
