Library ban on sermons of hate (UK)

"Hundreds of taped sermons by Al Qaeda hate cleric Anwar al-Awlaki have been withdrawn from public library shelves after questions were raised by the Sunday Express. Muslim-led Tower Hamlets Council in east London removed 258 'talking book' cassettes on Friday after we asked bosses to justify being the only authority in the capital stocking his work. The tapes were available to borrow from the council's main library in Whitechapel, a few hundred yards from where Detroit bomber Umar Abdulmutallab worshipped at the controversial East London Mosque. American-born Awlaki, who records his messages from his base in Yemen, has been named as the 23 year old's spiritual mentor and the man who encouraged him to try to murder innocent civilians" - Sunday Express
