From the above,
“... After the liberation of Kuwait from Iraq (which Abu Qatada opposed) he was expelled from Kuwait to Jordan. From there he travelled to the UK in 1993 on a forged UAE passport, and requested asylum on grounds of religious persecution...”
and,
“... When questioned in the UK in February 2001, Abu Qatada was in possession of £170,000 cash, including £805 in an envelope labelled "For the Mujahedin in Chechnya”...”
and,
“... an immigration appeals committee, convened to decide whether Abu Qatada should be allowed at large at that time, ruled in part, "The appellant was heavily involved, indeed was at the centre in the United Kingdom of terrorist activities associated with al-Qaeda" and remarked also on "his passionate exposition of jihad and the spread of Islam to take over the world”..."
and,
“... Jordan sentenced Abu Qatada in absentia in 2000 to life imprisonment for his involvement in a plot to bomb tourists who would be in Jordan to attend the Millennium celebrations”
So we have a man who illegally entered the UK on a forged passport; who is known to be a terrorist sympathiser and who is, at the very least, acting as a go-between for funding international terrorism; who wishes for and actively attempts to ensure that the Islamic religion takes over the world; and who has been convicted of terrorism in his country of origin.
That he has entered this country illegally should be reason enough grounds to deport him. As it stands, it isn't. The Human Rights Act desperately needs revising as it is playing right into the hands of those who want to destroy us.
