In light of the recent banning of Dutch MP Geert Wilders, should Jacqui Smith also ban this person.

Watch this space!!!!!!!

I will be interested to see how the Home Secretary deals with this one. His comments describing Jews as a lesion on the forehead of history is particularly offensive in my opinion.

Well if she is keen to demostrate impartiality then she should. However, Noo Labour are well known Islam apologists so I wouldn't bet on it.

50p says they let him in

It depends on what he is talking about in his speech.

If his speech is designed to inflame people against Israel (as Geert Wilders film was inflammatory) then yes, he should be banned.

If on the other hand his talk is about reporting in the middle east, then the reason for him being here is not the same as Geert Wilders and so he should not be banned, BUT if he does commit any criminal offences (eg inciting racial attacks), then he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Yes they should let him in, but then again Geert should have been let in.

We purport to be a nation of free speech and democracy, unfortunatley Noo Labour have eroded thsi until we are virtuaslly a stalinist state.

Dont hold your breathe, noo labour love our muslim 'brothers'.

Same standards should apply, they should'nt let him in.

The only thing about banning these people is that in doing so you're probably attracting and creating more publicity on their behalf than they ever could have dreamt of.
Anyone else remember when Maggie Thatcher banned the actual voices of IRA representatives like Gerry Adams etc, and their words were spoken by actors? What an own goal by Mrs T but a great publicity coup for the IRA!
