Proceeding contribution from Lord Gove (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.

Terrorism Bill

: I am very grateful to the Home Secretary for giving way. He is doubtless familiar with the Muslim Council of Britain’s media spokesman, Mr. Inayat Bunglawala, who has been asked to advise the Home Office on a number of cultural matters. Mr. Bunglawala has in the past said that Sheikh Omar Abdul Rahman, who was responsible for the first attack on the World Trade Centre in 1993, was ““courageous”” and was arrested only because he called on Muslims to fulfil their duty to Allah to fight against oppression and oppressors everywhere. Mr. Bunglawala subsequently wrote of Osama bin Laden that he was a ““freedom fighter””. Are these comments to be criminalised under this legislation?
