London, Dec 24 (ANI): UK's hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed is planning to hijack the Queen's Speech with his own bile-filled Christmas Day message.
According to a report in Daily Star, Bakri will preach to his UK supporters on December 25 in a live online sermon, from his Lebanon bolt-hole.
He will also address the "evils" of Christmas in the hour-long rant, sponsored by the "London School of Sharia".
Bakri was banned from returning to the UK in 2005 after he left the country during a probe into his rabble-rousing lectures.
However, his UK cohorts are beaming him in on video link from Lebanon to address meetings.
Bakri has launched an online "Breakfast Show" stream on the website run by hate-preacher pal Anjem Choudary.
According to a security source, Bakri's rants would be monitored to check he was not calling for any acts of terror.
"You can be sure it won't be the traditional Christmas message of peace and goodwill to all men," he said.
Counter terror experts have already called for websites allowing the hate preacher to speak to be closed down.
"Bakri is extremely dangerous. He doesn't have to lift a finger to commit acts of terror himself, he inspires others to do it," said Tory MP Patrick Mercer, chairman of the House of Commons counter-terrorism sub-committee. (ANI)
