London mosque leader recalls bomb suspect
December 26, 2001 Posted: 8:19 PM EST (0119 GMT)

Abdul Haqq Baker


LONDON, England (CNN) -- As the investigation into shoe bomb suspect Richard Reid moves forward, CNN has received information about him from the leader of the Brixton Mosque in South London that Reid once attended. Mosque chairman Abdul Haqq Baker said he saw Reid undergo a transformation during the time he knew him -- and that the changes were for the worse. CNN anchor Kyra Phillips interviewed Baker in London Wednesday via satellite from Atlanta, Georgia.

PHILLIPS: Well, joining us now from London to talk more about Richard Reid and the time he spent at a mosque there is Abdul Haqq Baker, the chairman of the Brixton Mosque. Abdul, thanks for sticking around to talk to us.

BAKER: That's OK.

PHILLIPS: Do you know why [Reid] was in prison in the first place?

BAKER: I think it was something related to petty crimes, but I couldn't confirm that because he didn't go into much detail when he came to us.

PHILLIPS: The fact that you did know that he did come from prison, did that concern you at all when he came to your mosque?

BAKER: Not really. We find that ex-convicts have been recommended to attend mosques because of our informal rehabilitation program, the fact that they can identify with us as being converts and show them how to assimilate back into the society.

PHILLIPS: Did he ever tell you why he was there? Did he get personal with you and give a bit of a testimony to why he was seeking you out?




BAKER: He came because he said that we were teaching the pure form of Islam and that we should show him the straight and narrow sort of view of Islam and practice of Islam -- which is the orthodox Islam. He was happy that we weren't going to be feeding him rhetoric or erroneous beliefs.

PHILLIPS: So, did you find him as an intellectual, and did you see any differences between him and other students intellectually?

BAKER: I wouldn't say he was an intellectual as such. He was a keen learner. He was taking Arabic classes that we would have there, and he was like the regular South London street-wise individuals who would come and want to learn a little, but not extensively.

PHILLIPS: Did he ever talk about his family, maybe a wife or a girlfriend or children?

BAKER: No. He wasn't married and didn't refer to any children. We know that he stayed locally with an aunt who lived in the area. That's the sum total of what he told us regarding any family members.

PHILLIPS: Let's talk about this recruitment process. When he came back, he was very different and he was in military fatigues. You said he had completely changed. Did he just all of a sudden decide to leave? He disappeared for a little while and then came back?

BAKER: What happens often in London [is that] there are many talks around the area -- the wider London area. People leave mosques left, right and center. He may have met individuals on his journey to other mosques for congregational prayer, and they would entice him by saying [they would] teach him Arabic: "Do you want to hear about the problems of the West and why we need to stand up against these people?"

That would have tempted him, as it has done many individuals, away from a main center where they would have been learning maybe the more basic, mundane aspects of Islam -- which we say [are] essential. This is one of the things that happened with him.

PHILLIPS: How do [recruiters] manipulate what you are trying to teach? What is it about these recruiters that make them so effective? How do they convince people like Reid?

BAKER: What they do is say, "We share the same orthodox belief as those at Brixton Mosque and elsewhere. However, those at Brixton Mosque are somewhat passive with their view [of] jihad. They have got the understanding of jihad wrong."

In that area, they would then inculcate then with the more extreme view of jihad, extreme, erroneous and wrong belief, and because they can see they're impressionable and wanting to be active for Islam, this is how they win them over.

Eventually, they speak against people like our center, saying that they are government-funded, that they pop up some of the regimes in the Middle East and this is what they're there for. Then they grow to dislike us [and] our call in the [orthodox way of Islam] more intensively.

They went over just in that particular area, because there's more activeness -- jihad training, learning to fire guns, talking about the political situation in the world and how the Muslims are being effected by the so-called non-Muslim infidels of the West.

PHILLIPS: Do you remember something that maybe frightened you in a way, or made you really pay attention to him, a red flag that sticks out in your mind?

BAKER: I think toward the end his discussions were so much about why we had a different understanding -- from the divergence belief of jihad that he had and what was wrong. For example: killing of innocent civilians, terrorism as it was seen, and suicide bombing. [Those who diverge from the orthodox way of Islam question] what is wrong with the understanding that we are living in the West and this is a place of war -- which is not the correct understanding that mainstream Islam holds.

This is the sort of things that alerted us.

PHILLIPS: When you come across red flags like this, is there anything in your laws that says you should contact authorities? Or is it pretty much just up to you on what to do or how to handle someone like Reid?

BAKER: No. What we did, and we've being doing for a number of years now, is [that] we would warn the authorities of the centers and the people who would be making these erroneous and divergent calls. ... I've been in Brixton as chairman for eight years now, and we've been doing it as long ago as that -- notifying the authorities, the home office, and saying, Look, these are the individuals who are calling a number of unsuspected youth to this divergent path. And they've come from abroad, from other countries and are seeking asylum here.

We've done that on a regular basis, and we continue to do that. That's one of the duties of [we] as Muslims to do that.

PHILLIPS: Well, it's such a shame to see such a manipulation of your faith. But I have to tell you, we thank you very much for being with us and being so straightforward in talking with us about this. Abdul Haqq Baker, chairman of the Brixton Mosque.

BAKER: My pleasure.

[「CT英語Questions & Answers(Q&A)」


2000年12月27日 08時40分
Dec. 27th, Wed.


「センターテスト(CT)英語クウェスチョンボックス(Q&A)」


Q1)「英語だけは絶対高得点が欲しいのですが。どうしましょう?」

「本質的に(?)、君は、純粋すぎるようですね。いまや、英語は、「使える」ことが求められている時代です。受験世界でも、英語が出来るからといって、それだけで合格できる大学は、ほとんどありません。英語以外の得意技(=得意教科)を最低一つ、出来れば二つ持ちましょう。外大(大阪外大、神戸市外大などでも、合格者は、『国語』『地歴』(や、現代社会を含む)の高得点者、及び『数学』の失点の少ない受験生、『生物』等に、知的興味が持てる人から決まっています。『英語は出来て当たり前』になってきました。ハイ。Good luck!」



Q2)「緊張してしまうんです、高得点を狙うと。特に第1日目の第1限の英語が。ドウシヨウ?」

「緊張したらアカン、アカンと思うから、それだけ余計に緊張しちまううんですよ。どこか任意の空間を見つめて、力をいれて、ブルブル、ブルブルって、身体を震わして見ましょう。恥ずかしくない、恥ずかしくない。あるいは、'sigh'ため息、「サァイ」ため息と、ため息つきながら7回以上、はーァ、はーァ、はーァと継続さして、ため息を回りの人に分け与えてしまおう。」

「ちょっとTAさん、ここでため息しんといて。よそでやってよ!うつるやないの!もう、あたしの近くでため息したら罰金よ(=You'll be fined, OK?)!」(某有力地方議員のヨメハン、TAの人生生活アドヴァイザー)





Q3)「CT過去問124点しか取れなかった!暴れたい!暴れたい!暴れたい!」

「こちらから質問!TAの授業'handout'(和製英語で言う’プリント’)や、CT過去問の文法・語法問題(第2問のA)では、正解選択肢を黒で塗りつぶしても復元出来ますか?この2〜3年の例では、精選された(=選び抜かれた)”ワナあり”良問を、2〜3回しか復習しない’悪気の無い不完全学習不燃焼型の受験生が増加中。Are you sure you aren't one of them?」



Q4)「K市のK塾の『センター必勝テスト』を受けてきました。そこでも英語の模擬試験をやっていまして.....やはり200点満点の二桁でした。解説の授業を聞いてもさっぱりでした。嗚呼!どうすればよいのでしょうか?」

「予備校では、SKYの御三家が有名ですが、安心していては倒産します。いや、大損します。一般論ですが(本音を言うとですよ!)、『センター対策講座』と名づけている講座で、本当に高得点を目指してしごいている講座は多くはないようです。でも、でも、ゼロよりはまだマシというのもゴロゴロゴロゴロ.......と怒っていた受験生もいましたが.......ある程度高得点を取っている受験生には、教材その他を批判する資格がありますが、まだその地位に到達できていなければ、批判は控えめに、そして毎日5時間以上リラックスしながら繰り返すことです。でも、でも、『ナニを繰り返すか』が大事ですよ。こういう場合、夏休みに投資してどれくらい元を取り返したかを冷静に判断しましょう。考え方は、二つに一つ。ほどほどの教材でも(懲りずに)まあぼちぼちやるか(大衆食堂型)、自分で責任を取る覚悟で、何回も何回も過去問を繰り返すか(自己責任型)でしょう。(TAは、授業中に取り扱い、詳しく説明した教材については、せきにんをもって『7〜8回は繰り返せ!』と、声を大にして要求します。」




Q5)「くやしーーーです!やればやるほど点数が下がる!どうしよう?本番こそ、160!160!160!160!160!」

「TAの特訓講座を見てください。授業そのものも大事ですが、授業に参加している受験生たちのCT過去問に取り組む姿勢を真似るべきでしょう。次のことは、事実です。ワイワイガヤガヤ、でも、リラックスしてお茶でも飲みながらダベリながらCT英語のエラー分析(error analysis)をやるのが、本番でも高得点獲得の道です。友人、ライバル達に、自分のCTの弱点を言える、冗談のネタに出来る’ずうずうしさ’が必要なようです。」
