All these journalists currently going berserk over Omar Bakri Mohammed clearly haven’t read the chapter on him in Jon Ronson’s completely brilliant Them: Adventures with Extremists.
Bakri Mohammed is a publicity-seeker par excellance and you only have to read the opening pages of Ronson’s chapter about him (”A semi-detached ayatollah”) to get the measure of the man.
