Daughter of Bakri unveiled as pole dancer

Danny Brierley, Evening Standard

The daughter of a radical Muslim cleric who preaches against Western "depravity" is a tattooed pole dancer.

Yasmin Fostok, one of Omar Bakri Mohammed's seven children, has performed in London clubs and toured Ibiza.

Bakri, nicknamed the Tottenham Ayatollah, is living in Beirut after being banned from Britain for preaching hate. His 27-year-old daughter is a single mother who lives in a flat in Catford.

In her teens she was a devout Muslim and wore a veil.

She said: "I just don't agree with his views, I just get on with my life and that's it."

Bakri told The Sun today: "If this is true I am deeply shocked. If she has done these things she will be judged on Judgment Day.

"But God will forgive her anything except becoming a non-Muslim."

I was just imagining the scene when Bakri himself arrives in front of his God and has to explain how he allowed his daughter to shame Islam. I would love to have a ring side seat for that one!

Why are Bakri's family still living on benefits in this country. Weren't they allowed in because they were with him as an asylum seeker? Since he's no longer here, why are they not sent off to join him in fun Beirut instead of being supported by British taxpayers?

I'LL BET SHE'S ON BENEFITS, AND IN A SOCIAL HOUSING FLAT.
