...the Poms want laughing boy Abu Qatada (left) deported. Hardly surprising, as he is Osama bin Laden's right hand man in Europe....Cranmer hears that Abu Qatada has won compensation from HM Government (ie the taxpayer) for the years he has spent in prison. This is by order of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.This is lunacy, when one considers that Mr Qatada could have walked free at any time if he had simply agreed to leave Britain...
Cranmer gently asks...
...Abu Qatada is concerned that his enforced repatriation to Jordan is likely to result in him being severely punished, even executed, for his alleged involvement in acts of terrorism. Again, Cranmer, does not mean to be thick. But why should those Muslims who wish to see Shari’a law in the UK be protected from its punitive excesses when they are obliged to go and live in a more Shari’a compliant country?...more here...
Perhaps the questions should also be put to all the other terrorist/crypto-refugees who make the same demands...
