Swilling beer, smoking dope and leering atporn, the other side of hate preacher 'Andy'Choudary

ByNeil SearsLast updated at 1:51 AM on 14th March 2009The British live 'like animals in a jungle' with their alcohol, gambling, prostitution and pornography.That is the stated view of Anjem Choudary, the preacher of hate who this week insulted the families of dead soldiers andbranded their marching comrades as cowards.The extremist wants Britain to be brought under Sharia law, with women forced to wear burkas and put to death for adultery.Yet before he grew his beard and turned to fundamentalism, Choudary, 41, was very much the life and soul of the party atSouthampton University.

New identity: Choudary, centre, moved to radical Islam soon after qualifying as a solicitor

Photographs obtained by the Mail suggest 'Andy' - as he was then known - should be inflicting on himself the 40 lashes heprescribes for drunkenness.As well as downing cider and lager, the cleric is shown playing drinking games with cards, clearly forbidden under his strictIslamic laws, and holding a cannabis joint between his lips before smoking it.And the woman on the cover of the Mayfair pornographic magazine he is looking at is certainly not wearing a burka.On the evidence of friends from his student days, Choudary had sex with numerous white Christian girls.Under his version of Sharia law, he should be stoned to death for sex outside marriage.

High time: Choudary with a beer and joint, and right, swigging a cider in one go

One former friend said: 'I can't keep a straight face when I see "fundamentalist Muslim Anjem Choudary" in the papers attackingthe British for drinking or having girlfriends.'When I knew him, he liked to be called Andy, would often smoke cannabis spliffs all day, and was proud of his ability to down apint of cider in a couple of seconds.'And he was ruthless with girls. When he briefly worked as an English teacher for foreign students in London, he'd pull one of them every few days, sleep with her, then move on to another.
