Good news: Italy grants political asylum to jailed jihadist imam, to protect him from being tortured in Egypt

And to ensure that Europe has a continuing healthy supply of imams who Misunderstand Islam and believe that it teaches warfare against and the subjugation of unbelievers. European authorities seem to believe that you can never have too many of those. "Terrorism: Italy grants 'political asylum' to jailed imam," from AKI, May 27 (thanks to Sr. Soph):

Rome, 27 May (AKI) - The Italian government has granted political asylum to a former imam of Milan's central mosque who was recently jailed on terrorism charges, unnamed sources in the interior ministry have told Adnkronos. Radical preacher Abu Imad was arrested in April after Italy's top appeals court upheld a previous sentence and jailed him for 44 months.

Egyptian-born Imad was granted asylum 15 days after the Court of Cassation ruling. An earlier request was turned down.

A member of the Muslim community in Italy's Lombardy surrounding Milan, Muhammad Rida al-Badri, said Italian authorities had granted asylum to Imam, who is reportedly close to Egypt's Islamist Muslim Brotherhood, to prevent him being extradited to Egypt as Cairo had requested.

"Abu Imad first asked for political asylum in Italy 17 years ago," said al-Badri.

"He has now been given political asylum because they want to keep him in jail in Italy for several reasons, and one of these is to avoid any criticism from the European Union that he should be handed over to Egypt."

Imad led prayers at Milan's central mosque until early 2009 but had not previously been arrested....

How is it that a Misunderstander of Islam became the leader of such an important mosque?

Imad and his co-defendants had allegedly set up a Salafite cell that was active in Milan and elsewhere in the northern Lombardy region.

The cell's mission is believed to have been recruiting suicide bombers, trafficking illegal immigrants and indoctrination.

The Viale Jenner mosque has been linked to Islamist terrorism several times but has so far managed to avoid closure, despite a July 2008 order from the government.

Why?

Lordy lordy....don't the names just speak for themselves... Abu I mad, Rid aal Bad ri, Lombard Lobotomy. Wake up Europe, there's a demon on the loose.

"The Viale Jenner mosque has been linked to Islamist terrorism several times but has so far managed to avoid closure, despite a July 2008 order from the government."

All mosque's are linked to terrorism, through Mohammed, and the Qur'an.

The E.U.'s apparatchiks, and its crazed "human-rights" rules that now, it can be seen, were passed at a time when the full menace of internal islamization had not been understood, have to be ignored or, still better, explicitly rebuffed.

All Muslim states are far more severe than the advanced states of Western Europe in their treatment of perceived enemies. Almost all use methods that we regard with dismay or abhorrence. But it is crazy to allow the most fanatical of Muslims to remain in the West because of what might happen to them in their own countries. To their fate in those countries we should be indifferent. The nation-states of the West have to stop regarding themselves as endlessly exploitable and suicidally generous; the West as Thidwick The Big-Hearted Moose just won't do.

Common sense includes an intelligent understanding of the requirements of self-preservation. The peoples of the advanced non-Muslim West should not allow to remain within their midst any adherents of Islam who take the faith seriously, and above all, certainly none of those who are particularly fanatical in their faith, which can include hatred of regimes in Dar al-Islam deemed too "infidel" in their orientation (all political opposition in Muslim lands must be expressed, and thought of, in Islamic terms, in terms of the binary polarities of Muslim and Infidel), but also, of course, include hatred of Infidels and their laws and customs, and their continued dominance, in the lands still deemed outside of Dar al-Islam.

"The Constitution is not a suicide pact." Mr. Justice Jackson. Nor is the human-rights legislation of the E.U. It can be re-interpreted, or those E.U. laws and regulations changed or, if necessary, simply ignored. The E.U. has turned out, I'm afraid, to have been a political, economic, and moral error.

TIGHT PANTS BANNED IN INDONESIA

Sharia Police will enforce the ban on women wearing tight pants or failure to wear head scarves, or men wearing shorts. Expect "unofficial" Sharia police and legal system in Dearborn Michigan to come up with some sort of similar strategy in the next decade.

The new regulation forbids women from wearing curve-revealing clothing, and calls for women’s pants to be cut up on the spot and replaced with a skirt if they’re considered too tight.

West Aceh district head Ramli Mansur said the government had already ordered 7,000 skirts of various sizes from Jakarta to be distributed by Shariah police to women caught wearing tight-fitting pants.

Ramli said the new regulation, which will also prevent Muslim men from wearing shorts, was issued at the behest of local clerics who asked the government to implement Shariah law as thoroughly as possible in the district.

“There was once an incident in which a woman’s tight pants were cut into pieces in front of public onlookers.

“We also had an incident where a woman’s head had to be completely shaved till she was bald because she was not wearing her jilbab [Muslim headscarf],” Ramli said.

The Indonesian Muslim Students Action Association (KAMMI), however, expressed support for the district chief’s decision to enforce the regulation.

“A leader means someone who represents God, to conduct all the rules and regulations of God. People, therefore, must follow and obey the leader,” said Sinta Nelysa, chief of West Aceh’s KAMMI branch.

“The law does not prohibit women from wearing pants. What’s prohibited is wearing tight-fitting pants or jeans,” Ramli, a former guerilla fighter from the Free Aceh Movement (GAM), has said about the ban. “If, for instance, they have to wear pants, they have to cover their ankles and wear a loose skirt over the pants.”

Clothing vendors have also been urged not to sell tight-fitting pants to Muslim women.

sad really sad.

Meanwhile - in case any of you missed it - while Italy gives asylum to a bonafide Islamic terrorist, America's Dept of Homeland Security is about to DENY asylum to a Muslim convert to Christianity who spied for Israel and saved countless lives...all because - wait for it - in his work as a Shin Bet spy, he had contact with terrorists.

The lunatics are running the asylum.

OH MY GOD! Son of Hamas??

If they force him to go back he'll be killed, as per Shari'a.

Unbelieveable.

Bass-ackwards.

nd one of these is to avoid any criticism from the European Union that he should be handed over to Egypt."

Yet another reason why the EU should be dismantled.

This from a Department of Homeland security containing supporters of terrorism... should the Son of Hamas be surprised at being rejected by them for asylum?

LATEST

Italy's interior minister Roberto Maroni was having none of that and revoked 'Abu's' ticket to a life of benefits and after he completes his 44 months of bending over in the prison showers and screaming out 'Allah Ackba' whenever a prisoner enters the shower and drops his pants. Abu will find himself deported to that Islamic paradise of Egypt.

Free food,free board, free sex and a free flight home all for carrying out the word of Allah. What more could a follower of jihad ask for.
