UK hate preacher takes a bride younger than his pole-dancing daughter

London, Oct.8 : Hate preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed has divorced his wife and taken a new bride who is a year younger than his pole dancer daughter.

The tubby Muslim extremist dumped 48-year-old Hanah for a Lebanese beauty called Ruba, 26.

Frustrated Bakri, 50, declared: "I must have a woman!" after Hanah - the mother of his six children - refused to stay with him in exile in Lebanon. According to The Sun, Ruba has shacked up with Bakri and his ten-year-old son Bilal at his luxury home in a suburb of Beirut.

A source in Lebanon said yesterday: "Omar's wife (Hanah) came out to stay with him after he was first kicked out of Britain but she couldn't cope. She complained that she had no freedom and couldn't go anywhere without her husband.

"In Britain she was able to go shopping with friends and family and wear make-up and nice clothes in private. But it was different in Beirut because Omar observed a much more conservative lifestyle.

"They ended up having furious rows, with her saying she couldn't bear living like a prisoner.

"He said, 'Go back to England then and live your little life on income support'. She did as he wished and never came back - and now he's got a younger model."

One of Bakri's main concerns at not having a wife was having no one to cook and clean for him and attend to his every need. Dark-haired, brown-eyed Ruba was introduced to him a year ago as a potential bride and they married soon after. She obeys the self-styled sheik's every command and has become a stand-in mum to Bilal.

Hanah has also remarried. She wed a 35-year-old Pakistani shopkeeper who runs a business near her state-funded semi in Edmonton, North London, eight months ago.

Syrian-born Bakri sparked outrage by praising the 9/11 jet bombers and then blaming the Government and the British public for the 7/7 blasts in London which killed 52 people. He was exiled to Lebanon in 2006.
