London A Muslim cleric has asked his followers in the UK to give cash to help front-line mujaheddin fighting the US-led NATO forces in Afghanistan.

A recording has emerged of Anjem Choudary, a self- styled Sharia judge and former leader of the outlawed Al-Muhajiroun, telling his followers to stop spending money on their families and divert it to Muslim soldiers waging jihad or holy war, The Sunday Times reported on Sunday.

According to the report, he has earlier called for British women to be forced to wear burqas and for adulterers to be stoned to death.

The emergence of the tape coincided with the death of a British soldier in Afghanistan, the 150th to die there since 2001, on Saturday.

Last week Choudary's followers shouted abuse at soldiers from the Royal Anglian Regiment as they paraded through Luton, calling them "butchers and killers."

Cleric asks followers to donate cash for Afghan militants by Samir on 16 Mar 2009

Followers of Islam are the worst, now they are its worst form. Make no mistakes that they are a bunch of ungrateful people. Thet live in UK, eat and drink from UK funds yet they want to kill UK citizen all in name of Islam. They should be sent to Mars with no return ticket. Get them before they get us.

Good. They can next ask the present British Government to finance for their killing in Afganistan. Expect a good response from Present US government also if they send a copy to US government. What these govenments can expect from these terrorists?
