Preferred term

al Muhajiroun  

Definition

  • The extremist Muslim group Al Muhajiroun was founded in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, in 1983 by the radical cleric Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad. The small group, now based at the Finsbury Park mosque in North London, has been largely dismissed by mainstream Muslim religious leaders as a band of “propaganda seeking extremists” and is often written off by British commentators as a bothersome joke.
