CEP Strategic Advisor Liam Duffy writes: "The British public’s first real introduction to Anjem Choudary was as a supporting cast member in Jon Ronson’s 1997 documentary The Tottenham Ayatollah. The pioneering gonzo reporter closely followed the surreal day-to-day of Omar Bakri Muhammad, a Syrian-born former member of both the Muslim Brotherhood and Hizb ut-Tahrir who went on to found the more radical Salafi-jihadist activist network al-Muhajiroun (ALM)."

CEP Strategic Advisor Liam Duffy: "Yesterday, without ever having directed or plotted — much less committed — an act of violence, Anjem Choudary was jailed for a minimum of 28 years for terrorism offences. He was found guilty of continuing to direct the proscribed organisation, al-Muhajiroun (ALM)."
