In quotes: Hamza's preachings

Mr Abu Hamza was jailed for seven years on 11 charges

Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri has been jailed for seven years after being found guilty of 11 charges of inciting murder and race hate.

BBC News looks back on some of the statements he made in a series of sermons and lectures, as he sought to stir up racial hatred and attacked a range of subjects.

ON HOMOSEXUALS

Abu Hamza claimed that Aids had been sent as a curse on homosexuals.

They have a common punishment amongst them and they have the virus to run after them wherever they go

ON BROTHELS

Every place of iniquity, every brothel, every video shop which is selling naked, for the victorious party is a target.

ON JEWS

We do not hate Jews because they hurt each other we hate them for their corruption on earth.

A Jew cannot look a Muslim in the eye or pass him knowing they have oppressed a Muslim or some other Jew had oppressed a Muslim elsewhere.

So nation of Mohammed must regain their dignity and this dignity would not be regained unless with blood

ON WINE SHOPS

Don't go to the man who is selling a wine shop and tell him please why you selling the wine shop, come to the mosque?

Make sure that the man who gave him the licence for that wine shop does not exist anymore on the Earth. Finish him up

ON FIGHTING

You must know the cause of Allah and you must help that cause in fighting, by fighting and when you fight you kill, you don't fight just to negotiate or to show off or to make videos or to make audios, fight to kill not fight to tape

ON NON-MUSLIMS (KAFIRS)

Killing a Kafir who is fighting you is OK. Killing a Kafir for any reason, you can say it, it is OK - even if there is no reason for it

ON SUICIDE BOMBERS

It is not called suicide... this is called martyring, because if the only way to hurt the enemies of Islam except by taking your life for that then it is allowed

ON THE ROYAL FAMILY

There are people now who worship Diana.

After a while she will have her own Qu'ran, have mosques and churches in her name

ON DEMOCRACY

They don't want to be ruled by religion... they don't want women to cover up... they don't want the king to rule.

For that they either cancel the monarchy or make the Queen like a monkey that sits in a gold cage that people look at, like a cow - and go around her and she cannot rule or say anything

ON WOMEN

Bring up your daughters to that manners [not to answer back] otherwise they going to be divorced in the first week of their marriage or slapped in the face
