UK Muslims threaten Scientist Dr.Usama Hasan Imam
with death over Darwinist views
A prominent British imam Dr Usama Hasan has been forced to retract his claims that Islam is compatible with Darwin's theory of evolution after receiving death threats from fundamentalists.

"One man came up to me during the lecture and said 'You are an apostate and should be killed'," Dr Hasan told The Independent. "


Who is Dr. Usama Hasan?
Dr Usama Hasan is a physics lecturer at Middlesex University and a fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society.

Masjid Tawhid is a prominent mosque which also runs one of the country's largest sharia courts, the Islamic Sharia Council.
In January, Dr Hasan delivered a lecture there detailing why he felt the theory of evolution and Islam were compatible
But the lecture was interrupted by men he described as "fanatics" who distributed leaflets claiming that "Darwin is blasphemy".

He was intending yesterday to return to Masjid al-Tawhid, a mosque in Leyton, East London, for the first time since he delivered a lecture there entitled "Islam and the theory of evolution".

But according to his sister, police advised him not to attend after becoming concerned for his safety. Instead his father, Suhaib, head of the mosque's committee of trustees, posted a notice on his behalf expressing regret over his comments. "I seek Allah's forgiveness for my mistakes and apologise for any offence caused," the statement read.

But the imam's apology seems to have done little to resolve the matter.
Earlier this week, the group issued a statement saying that Dr Hasan had been dismissed from his position as vice-chairman and imam at the mosque, and describing his views as a "source of antagonism in the Muslim community".
Neither he nor his father were present at the meeting that voted for his dismissal.

This is reason one has to be very careful to whom you are inviting to your country?
Taliban type Muslim or Good Muslims.

How can police fear and order the Imam Cancel lecture?
Police should provide him security and let him speak.
After all he is educated and speaking on scientific topic.

If someone is unhappy with his views write an article opposing his views,
Arrange a debate with him.

Why to give , threaten someone to accept your belief?

Whatever people may say one day truth will prevail.
