Son of hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza claims Home Office stripped him of UK passport after he fled to fight alongside jihadists in Syria
Sufiyan Mustafa fled Britain to Syria in 2013 after his extremist father was extradited to the US on terrorism charges
HOOK handed cleric Abu Hamza’s jihadi son claims he has been stripped of his UK passport by the Home Office.
Fighter Sufiyan Mustafa, 22, fled Britain to Syria in 2013 after his extremist father was extradited to the US on terrorism charges.
But now he has complained to an Arabic paper that the UK Government has blocked him from returning.
Denying he was a terror threat, Mustafa, insisted: “Britain is the place where I was born and lived ....... I have never been a threat to national security in Britain, and will not commit aggression on its population because our religion does not allow attacks on unarmed innocents.”
Mustafa says he has taken part in battles in Aleppo and on his twitter feed made boasted about killing Syrian President Assad’s regime forces.
Despite claiming his passport has been stripped he revealed he will still attempt to get back into Britain once the fighting in Syria has stopped.

He says he will return to Britain immediately when the Assad regime has fallen and the fighting has stopped.
He is one of an estimated 400 British jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq for groups ranging from moderate rebels to Islamic State butchers.
Last month he starred in a propaganda video in which he both denounced President Assad and criticised IS for giving Muslims a bad name.
He and has been serving his sentence in solitary confinement at a high security prison in Florence, Colorado.
Hamza was extradited to the US after the British government spent a decade trying to kick him out of the country.
He rose to notoriety in the UK after becoming imam of the Finsbury Park mosque, in north London, in 1997 where he spread his message of fundamentalist hatred.
On his father Mustafa admitted Hamza had made mistakes but asked: “who hasn’t when they believe in a cause?”
