Several prominent terrorist suspects are known to have visited or stayed at the mosque, including Djamel Beghal, who was linked to an al-Qaeda plot to bomb the U.S. embassy in Paris, shoe bomber Richard Reid and suspected 20th hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui. In April of last year, the Charity Commission imposed a preaching ban on Abu Hamza, and more recently threatened to remove him, because many of his statements "were of such an extreme and political nature as to conflict with [the mosque's] charitable status."

One of Freud's key insights was to divide the mind into the conscious and the unconscious: he showed us that beneath the surface banality of everyday thoughts and gestures lurk subterranean caverns of forbidden longings that reach all the way back to our earliest childhood memories. Freud's therapeutic technique, psychoanalysis, was an intellectual exploration of those depths, where patients could confront their deepest...
