Mizanur Rahman (alias Abu Baraa, born 1983 in London, England) is a British activist and former follower of Omar Bakri Muhammad. He was convicted in 2007 of charges of solicitation to murder and sentenced to four years in jail. He was released from jail in late 2010 and re-arrested for terror-related offenses in September 2014.〔http://in.mobile.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idINKCN0I20FB20141013〕 ==Activist== Rahman has acted as a provocateur in what he says are Islamist interests. He participated in the Islamist demonstration outside the Danish Embassy in London in 2006, where he prayed, "O Allah, we want to see another 9/11 in Iraq, another 9/11 in Denmark, another 9/11 in Spain, in France, all over Europe. O Allah, destroy all of them." On 9 November 2006, he was found guilty at trial of the charge of inciting racial hatred.〔(Cartoons protester found guilty ), ''BBC'', 9 November 2006〕 The jury could not reach a verdict on the charge of soliciting murder. The Crown indicated it would seek a retrial.〔(Man guilty of inciting race hate at protest )〕 At his retrial in 2007, Rahman was convicted of the second charge of solicitation to murder, and sentenced to six years in prison. This sentence was reduced to four years on appeal in October 2008. During his trial, the prosecution asserted that Rahman, while not a member of any organisation, was soliciting unknown person(s) to murder other unknown person(s) from among the American occupying forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. Since completing his four-year sentence at the end of 2010, Mizanur Rahman immediately began to revive his Islamist activities around the UK and on the Internet. He has called for the laws in Britain to be changed to the Islamic Shari'ah so that the country would become an Islamic Khilafah state.〔("Abu Baraa aka Mizanur Rahman" ), biography and lectures, Izharudeen website〕 Mizanur Rahman claims that many Muslim prisoners in the UK are being illegally detained, unfairly treated and abused. He has referred to 'crimes' committed by prison officials in Belmarsh prison in talks and internet addresses since his release from prison.〔(Mizanur Rahman, "Audio lecture about mistreatment of Muslim prisoners in Belmarsh" )〕 He has also claimed that his arrest was driven by a media campaign. He said his action are a challenge to and an "exposition freedom of speech".〔("UK Islamist Convicted of Soliciting Murder" – Interview ), YouTube〕 In November 2010, immediately after completing his four-year prison sentence, he was interviewed by Rageh Omar for a BBC2 series on the life of Muhammad. Questioned about ''jihad'' and violence related to insurgencies around the world against western forces, he said, "violence can be praiseworthy and can be dispraised."〔(BBC2's Rageh Omar interviews Abu Muwahhid & Mizanur Rahman )〕 In 2014, Mizanur Rahman spoke about the ISIS' killing of British aid worker Alan Henning, though he refused to take a stance on the matter, neither justifying, condoning nor condemning, arguing instead that there was not enough information about the circumstances of the killing and no defence from the accused has been heard. He suggested that those with evidence of wrongdoing take the matter to a Shariah court in ISIS territory demanding justice as a possible solution to the confusion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Alan Henning & The Islamic State )〕 He was strongly criticised by Salafi Muslims for his Takfiri and Jihadi views. On 5 August 2015, Rahman was charged, along with his associate Anjem Choudury, with supporting the terrorist group ISIS.〔(voanews.com: "Islamic Cleric in Britain Charged With Supporting IS" ), 5 Aug 2015〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mizanur Rahman (Islamic activist)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
