Islam - European nations oust radical imams

The Washington Times reports.

Even before the London bombings, many British Muslims were concerned about the influx of extremist clerics, such as Abu Hamza al-Masri and Omar Bakri Mohammed, who have taken advantage of Western freedoms to preach hatred.

"I want people like Hamza and Bakri out of my country," said Nazir Ahmed, the first Muslim member of the House of Lords. "We can't let them spread their ideology."

Then why haven't Muslims mounted protests against them and why haven't Muslim MP's introduced laws to ban or deport them?

So, just what is Britain doing about these preachers of hate?

The British Foreign Office concluded a deal with Jordan last month to allow the extradition of terror suspects.

Britain is looking to reach similar agreements with other North African and Middle East countries, said government spokeswoman Fiona Cookson.

This could clear the way for the government to deport Abu Qatada, who was sentenced in 1998 in absentia in Jordan to 15 years in jail for terrorist activities and is accused of being the religious guide of the bombers involved in the Madrid train attacks last year.

Qatada spent the past two years in a British prison before being released in the spring.

This terrorits was sentenced to 15 years in jail for terrorism and Britain released him. And they wonder why the world calls it Londonistan?

Under international law, Britain is not allowed to deport people to their home countries if there is a chance they will be subjected to inhumane treatment or face the death penalty.

British officials said they received assurances from Jordanian authorities that those returned would be treated fairly and in accordance with international standards.

Human rights activists criticized the policy change and questioned whether Jordan would adhere to the agreement.

This is why terrorists make Britain their home. All Britain has to do to fix this is to back out of the European Human Rights Act. More precisely, I believe it is just one section, section 3, that they could back out of and fix the problem.

And Britain could end its ban on extradicting terrorists to countries with the death penalty.

Rest assured Blair's wife won't let any of that happen.
