[citation needed] In 2005, Tamimi led a group of trustees in reforming the Finsbury Park Mosque, which was previously under the control of Abu Hamza al-Masri.

[6] He accused American President George W. Bush of attempting to stop terrorism through war, political oppression, and violations of human rights, arguing that this would not work and would instead have the opposite effect.

[9] For the long run, Tamimi advocates what he calls a post-apartheid South African solution, in which Israel "is dissolved just like apartheid was, and all people within mandatory Palestine become equal citizens".

[9] He believes that antisemitism in Arab societies can be attributed to a response to modern political Zionism and that it is an aberration of traditional Islamic practices.

[13] In November 2004, while being interviewed for the BBC programme Hardtalk, Tamimi said that sacrificing his life for justice for Palestine would be "a noble cause.
