So Is Qatada To Go Home?

[DTCwordfan]

We've signed a treaty with Jordan.....apparently.

Have we really changed the rules of the game?

Why don't we put him on a plane and be done with it? What would the ramifications be except putting two fingers up to the ECHR?

"he was granted asylum"

the scumbag obviously lied through his teeth

get lawyers to re-visit the appeal and go over it with a fine tooth comb and then find a reason to repeal his asylum.

It is absolutely ludicrous that we cannot decide who to keep and who to get rid of in our own country in matters of security.

The vast majority of people really couldnt give a damn what happens to him, they just want this lying scrounging trash out of this country.

Release him. Let him walk free so the right-on brigade on here are happy.

I dont reckon he would be around long, either by his own choice or vigilantes.

And he would have to have is benefits capped too!

Baz,

Qatada's trial in his absence in Jordan used evidence likely to have been obtained by torture. It was probably therefore unreliable. His sentence was life with hard labour. It is not difficult to see how he was able to convince the authorities here that he would himself be tortured if he were to be returned to Jordan and so he was granted asylum. Coupled with the fact that MI5 had an interest in him as an informant, that too probably influenced the judgement allowing him to stay.

Ymb,

// Let him walk free... I dont reckon he would be around long, either by his own choice or vigilantes. //

That is remarkedly similar to Qatada's hate speeches. He said it was fine to kill American's, Jews. You say it is fine to let the vigilantes at this fanatical cleric.

But we live in a country that allows free speech so you are OK to air your views no matter how distasteful they may be.

I think I have asked you before, what crime do you think he has commited?

[TWR]

It's surprising what someone would do for Ten Grand!!

[Baldric]

I've not read the whole thread, so might have missed something.
I've read somewhere that as he's not committed a crime in the UK we can't export him;

///Qatada entered Britain in 1993 on a false passport///

I could be wrong but I would've thought that ^^^^ was 'possibly' illegal.

[jim360]

Answered earlier - he was granted asylum a year later, so that the issue of a false passport stopped mattering.

[bazwillrun]

"evidence likely to have "
but not proven to have

"But we live in a country that allows free speech "

no we dont, or do you mean like "unlimited broadband" with limits applied
its either free or it isnt.

[TWR]

"But we live in a country that allows free speech "

So does that mean any of these fanatics can stand on any Large City Corners & spout off, kill the whites? would that Imply Racial hatred?
