He said: ‘Just like Osama Bin Laden is the number one enemy for the west, Obama is for Muslims.

‘He is a war criminal, it goes without saying. He has slain more Muslims than even his predecessor George Bush and has overseen the escalation of the war on Islam.

‘He must be arrested and face a sharia court for his crimes.’

He added: ‘The only security risk in today’s march will be because some may see him as a legitimate target for what he has done.

‘The anti-Obama camp is far bigger than the pro-Obama.

Choudary said he was also holding the demonstration to voice his disapproval with the way the U.S. administration killed terrorist chief Osama bin Laden.

He said: ‘They say they believe in justice and yet they act like common criminals breaking in and killing a man.

‘If they wanted justice they should have captured Osama and taking him to a Sharia Court to face charges instead they act like common criminals and murders.’

Choudary was eventually dragged away by police, prompting scuffles to break out with his supporters.
