This is the link to the Newsnight report where Omar Bakri Mohammed speaks about Dublin airport being part of 'the battlefield'. He seems to confuse Dublin with Shannon.

(forward on to 4.12 to get to the Dublin reference)

This guy, dangerous as he is didn't seek out Ireland to threaten, the keyboard warrirors of vigil prompted him to make statements on Ireland, neither knew that USAF planes are coming through Shannon Airport rather Dublin Airport. Its these wannabees that prompt most of the statements on Ireland. Im not denying the guy is preaching hate, but this vigil group are selling fear.

Asked by one of its operatives whether Dublin airport should be a target because US troops use it on the way to Iraq, Bakri allegedly said: "Hit the target and hit it very hard, that issue should be understood.

"Your situation there is quite difficult therefore the answer lies in your question."

The Vigil operative apparently confused Dublin airport with Shannon where tens of thousands of US troops have passed through on their way to Iraq.

Look at how Bakri notes the leading question and how the keyboard warrior plays it like a panto

The Bakri follower was asked, in sessions recorded in May, June and July, about airports such as Dublin, "where Kuffar American forces fly via to reach Iraq to kill our brother. Should this be part of the battlefield?" He replied: "Hit the target, hit it very hard and that issues must be understood, the situation there is quite difficult, therefore the answer is within your own question."

Apparently he was on the radio this morning and said he was taken out of context and didn't want to be directly involved in any attack on Dublin airport... but again people notice who brought it up
