About time. Anti-dhimmitude in Britain. By Philip Johnston and Joshua Rozenberg in [1] The Telegraph, with thanks to Sr. Soph:

The Home Office won a key legal victory yesterday in a five-year battle to eject a suspected al-Qa'eda terrorist leader from Britain.

A court ruled that Abu Qatada, a radical Muslim cleric described as Osama bin Laden's spiritual representative in Europe, can be deported to his homeland.

Abu Qatada, a London-based imam, has been fighting Government efforts to remove him to Jordan since 2002, claiming he faces torture or death.

Wait a minute. Isn't Jordan supposed to be modern, moderate, forward-looking and Western?
