Statement about terrorism

"Al Ghurabaa do not glorify any acts of terrorism, whether committed by individuals, organisations or nation states such as USA or UK, we do not wish anybody to emulate them or praise them and make expressly clear that that is not the intention of any of our articles or comments of our representatives. If anyone was to mistakenly get this impression then that is not our intention and we will do everything we can to clarify the misunderstanding."^[1]

"How dare you come here to a Muslim area .." he screeched. Several Muslims in the audience urged him to stop but the fanatic convert continued his abusive tirade before being ejected by the Police, only to continue his rant outside.
