Once again, an Islamist apologist for terror has attempted to dictate policy to a sovereign country via a threat of terrorism – and then denied that he ever made a threat.

Ireland is putting itself at risk of an attack from Islamic militants by allowing Gulf-bound U.S. military planes to refuel on the island, a leading radical British Muslim lawyer said on Friday.

Anjem Choudary, who is being investigated by Irish police over comments made during a university debate on Thursday evening, said media reports that he believed Ireland was a "legitimate" target were incorrect, however.

"I am not threatening the Irish, nor am I giving any veiled threats, but it seems that when a Muslim warns of potential danger then they are seen as terrorists and extremists," Choudary told Reuters by phone during a visit to Dublin.

"When politicians say the same thing, then it's considered to be political analysis and obviously it's no problem whatsoever."

According to Ireland's transport ministry, over 900 aircraft carrying U.S. military personnel or weapons landed in Ireland or used Irish airspace during the first nine months of this year.

Fine, Mr. Anjem, then hear this loud and clear. If you continue to threaten the well-being of non-Muslims, then you risk being smeared with bacon grease and lynched by outraged non-Muslims. I’m not saying that I believe you to be a legitimate target for such an attack, nor am I making a veiled threat – I’m simply offering an analysis of the possible consequences of your words and warning of the potential danger. I hope you don’t see me as a terrorist or extremist for offering that warning.
