Anjem Choudary was secretly filmed mocking non-Muslims for working in 9-5 jobs their whole lives, and told followers that some revered Islamic figures had only ever worked one or two days a year.
The rest of the year they were busy with jihad [holy war] and things like that, he said. People will say, Ah, but you are not working.
But the normal situation is for you to take money from the kuffar [non-believers].
So we take Jihad Seekers Allowance. You need to get support.
He went on to tell a 30-strong crowd: We are going to take England the Muslims are coming.
Ridiculing the daily lives of UK workers, Choudary said: You find people are busy working the whole of their life. They wake up at 7 oclock. They go to work at 9 oclock.
They work for eight, nine hours a day. They come home at 7 oclock, watch EastEnders, sleep, and they do that for 40 years of their life. That is called slavery.
Choudary, a father-of-four, claims more than £25,000 a year in benefits, £8,000 more than the take-home pay of some soldiers fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, according to the Sun, which covertly filmed the preacher at three meetings.
At another meeting in Slough infiltrated by the Sun, Choudary was filmed proclaiming that Islam was taking over Europe.
Now we are taking over Birmingham and populating it, he said.
Brussels is 30 per cent, 40 per cent Muslim and Amsterdam. Bradford is 17 per cent Muslim.
These people are like a tsunami going across Europe. And over here were just relaxing, taking over Bradford brother. The reality is changing.
Choudary, who has been banned twice from running organisations under the Terrorism Act, told an audience at a community centre in Bethnal Green, East London, that David Cameron, Barack Obama and the leaders of Pakistan and Egypt were the devil (shaitan) and should be killed.
What ultimately do we want to happen to them? asked Choudary. Maybe Im the only one who wants the shaitan to be killed. The shaitan should be finished. There should be no shaitan.
Democracy, freedom, secularism, the parliament, all the MPs and the Presidents, all the kuffars ideas, everything the people worship, we have to believe that they are bad and we have got to reject them.
When later confronted about his filmed speeches, Choudary said: Many people in the Muslim community are on Jobseekers Allowance and welfare benefits. As a joke I may say something about Jihad Seekers Allowance. Clearly it is not a Jihad Seekers Allowance.
The word jihad means struggle. It does not necessarily mean fighting. I have never said to anyone to kill anyone in this country.
