"if I go there (my dreamland Malaysia) I will .. correct the error that has occurred in the political system there" !!!
The fellow on the right (screenshot above) is Omar Bakri Muhammad.
Who is he? Here is some quick bio from Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Bakri_Muhammad
- Omar Bakri Muhammad (born 1958)
- Syrian Islamist militant leader born in Aleppo
- instrumental in developing Hizb ut-Tahrir in UK (HT)
- left HT and joined Al-Muhajiroun, until its disbandment in 2004.
- In 2015 his son Muhammad was killed in Syria while fighting for ISIS
- 30 Dec 2015, his other son Bilal, killed while fighting for ISIS in Iraq
- 12 Nov 2010 Lebanon TV reported Bakri among 54 people sentenced to life
- after being accused of acts of terrorism
- He was released from prison on 29 March 2023 (13 years in jail)
Below here is a long video interview with Bakri. I dont know when this video was recorded but I think it is recent. But you only have to listen to the first SIX minutes. Bakri lovingly mentions Malaysia as his dreamland. Among the things he said are as follows:
- fundamental duties upon us . . .to establish the Islamic state
- I came to Britain after being arrested in Saudi Arabia
- they deported me
- I was not able to return back to Lebanon
- I could not return to the Arab countries because of my political activities
- I choose to go to Britain just to pass by,
- and from there to Malaysia or Pakistan
- I call it my dreamland - Pakistan or Malaysia
- if I go there I will contribute for that call,
- and correct the error that has occured in the political system there (min 5:05)

For the past 68 years our grandfathers, fathers, we ourselves and now our children have worked hard to build our country and to make this land a success. And we have achieved many great things.
We have been so successful that millions of Banglas, Indons, Indians, Nepalese, Iranians, Pakistanis, Arabs, Afghans have made their way here - mostly illegally - to find a peaceful country and try to earn money (legally or illegally).
I only have one question: Where is this fellow now?
