France expels imam who "encouraged violent jihad, made anti-Semitic remarks and justified the use of violence and corporal punishment against women"

Gee, how did this imam come to misunderstand Islam so spectacularly?

Could it have been from the Qur'an, that told him to "slay the idolaters wherever you find them" (9:5); that the Jews are the "most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe" (5:82), and that a man should "beat" a woman who is disobedient (4:34)?

Naaah. Couldn't be that.

"France expels Tunisia imam accused of jihad call," from AFP, October 31 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

France on Wednesday expelled a Tunisian imam accused of anti-Semitism and of calling his followers to "violent jihad" and violence against women, the Interior Ministry said.

Mohamed Hammami was subject to "expulsion from French territory. He has been deported to Tunisia, where he is a citizen," the ministry said in a statement.

"In his sermons," Hammami "encouraged violent jihad, made anti-Semitic remarks and justified the use of violence and corporal punishment against women," added the ministry.

"These unacceptable, deliberate, repeated provocations and discrimination constitute a threat to French society and security."

The imam's son Hamadi Hammami told AFP he believed France's DCRI domestic intelligence service had arrested his 77-year-old father in the streets before taking him to the airport.

In January, former interior minister Claude Gueant accused Hammami, who had been living in France for a long time, of making violent anti-Semitic remarks and of calling for adulterous women to be flogged to death.

Hammami, whose assets were frozen by the government in May, has denied all the allegations.

A deportation committee had issued in May a statement against expelling Hammami because it would "affect his family life," but the opinion only carried advisory weight.

Goodness gracious, affect his family life? Horrors!

While this is great news as to France's starting to open her eyes, expect the Imams simply to become more discreet and start using more "dog whistle" language to make these types of charges more difficult to prosecute...

I wonder how the "family life" of the victims of the Toulouse massacre (err...the "Battle of Toulouse" as some call it) is fairing???

how about deporting the entire algerian population?

Affect his family life?

Does that mean no more beatings for his wives or corporal punishment for his children?

I'm sure the French Interior Ministry took these effects into account when deciding to deport Hammami.

He's gone.

One hopes the French will send his wife (or wives), his five children and his *nineteen* grandchildren packing in his wake.

And let us hope that this sets a precedent.

I am sure it is within the capability of the French to 'bug' or otherwise surveill mosques, and to keep a discreet - and undetected - ear upon other locales where imams, sheikhs, mullahs and their ilk may deliver themselves of statements as rabble-rousing, Jew-hating, misogynist and menacing as those for which this imam was responsible.

And then, with the precedent of this imam's being booted for fomenting violence, they can round them up, one by one by one, and ship them out.

French jihadwatchers: get behind your government and PUSH.

Write letters to the editor of all the main newspapers, **approving** the eviction of imam Mohammed Hammami. State that you do not for one minute believe he is the only one saying these sorts of things, and *demand* that *all* imams be thoroughly investigated.

Write to Claude Gueant, and to Manuel Valls, and thank them for doing due diligence to preserve the safety of French Jews and indeed of all non-Muslim French citizens and residents.

Write to the DCRI - the French intelligence service - and commend them for the despatch with which, once turned loose, they scooped up this creature and got him off the street and onto the plane, out of France. It happened so fast and so neatly that the usual Mohammedan insta-mob was not able to gather and run amok.

May this deportation be the first of many...

This guy will probably get an invite to the White House next week.

Former Ambassador Thomas R. Pickering should depart for france immediately to explain they are acting in an Islamophobic way by expelling this Imam who is only following the teachings of the Quran.
