Britain - Deport Saudi Jihadist

Britain has vowed to crack down on Muslims who incited violence and deport them. They've arrested several but so far not one has been deported. Bakari was barred from returning but he left on his own free will. Now comes another test to see if Britain is serious about getting tough with Muslim fanatics.

PRESSURE was intensifying on ministers last night to live up to their promised crackdown on Islamic fanatics by charging or deporting a Saudi radical who backs the killing of British soldiers in Iraq.

MPs from all parties and several foreign governments have demanded action against Muhammad al-Massari, who has asylum in Britain . His radio station, al-Tajdeed, backs suicide attacks and his website shows the beheadings of Western hostages.

This month Dr al-Massari named four Italian cities that are targets for terror strikes.

Britain has previously tried to deport him but the courts intervened to prevent him being sent back to Saudi Arabia.

Despite Charles Clarke’s promise that tougher immigration rules will be in force by next week, Home Office officials concede that these are unlikely to affect Dr al-Massari as Saudi Arabia is not among the countries signing a deal to take deported fanatics.

But they suggest that the police and Crown Prosecution Service could take action against Dr al-Massari under laws for direct incitement to commit a violent or criminal act.

Muslim fanatics know the government won't do anything. The courts won't let them and if there are already existing laws to take action against them, why haven't they been used before now?

If they are going to prosecute al-Massari for "direct incitement to commit a violent or criminal act" then they will have to prosecute George Galloway as well.

With Italy expelling Muslim terrorists and now Germany, Britain is looking more and more impotent in the war on terror.
