**Outrage as Islamic Preacher Attempts to Buy Scottish Island for Sharia State**
A London-based Islamic preacher's ambitious plan to establish a self-governing Islamic state on a remote Scottish island has sparked significant outrage and concern across the United Kingdom.
Sheikh Yasser al-Habib, the leader of the Mahdi Servants Union, aimed to purchase a 270-acre island off western Scotland, with intentions of creating what he described as a “homeland” for his followers.
His proposal included plans for a school, hospital, and seminary, all governed by strict Sharia law.
Al-Habib reportedly raised nearly £3 million of his £3.5 million target for the island purchase, emphasizing the opportunity to build a community for believers.
However, the backlash was swift.
Local councillor Alastair Redman condemned the initiative as “immoral,” stating, “The fact that he wants to involve an idyllic setting in prejudiced preaching is simply unacceptable.”
Public sentiment against al-Habib's plans grew stronger as people expressed their concerns about the implications of establishing a theocratic regime within the UK.
Despite al-Habib's assurances that he would negotiate with the UK government for permission to allow global Muslim visitors, sources indicate that his plans may not be genuine.
Reports suggest that his proposal might be more of a fundraising scheme than a serious attempt at acquiring the island.
According to a source cited by The Telegraph, “This appears to be a fundraising effort rather than anything based in reality.”
Listing agents for the island have confirmed that no advanced negotiations are underway to sell the property to al-Habib or any other buyer.
The island remains available for purchase, attracting widespread attention but with no credible buyer in sight.
Al-Habib's controversial statements and history of promoting extremist views have only further fueled public discontent.
In 2021, he released a provocative film that drew backlash and was subsequently pulled from screenings following protests from various Muslim groups.
This latest incident has raised alarms about the potential influence of extremist ideologies in the UK, reigniting discussions about security and the preservation of British values.
As reactions continue to unfold, the focus remains on the broader implications of allowing such radical elements a foothold in the country.
