"Deportation not fair, says extremist (on benefits)" from the Daily Mail with thanks to Leveller.
An extreme Muslim cleric whose family have been living on benefits in Britain for 20 years says it would not be 'fair' to deport him.Speaking after the Prime Minister announced his clampdown, father-of-seven Sheik Omar Bakri said: "I have wives, children, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law. It would be hard on my family if I was deported."
Wives, plural?
Since Syrian-born Bakri settled in Britain, he and his extended family have raked in benefits amounting to at least £300,000.He is registered disabled because of an injury to his leg during his childhood, and was recently supplied with a £31,000 Ford Galaxy under the Motability scheme.
Bakri, who lives in a £200,000 home in North London, tops up his £250-a-week benefit payments with an extra £50 incapacity allowance.
He has praised the September 11 terrorists as 'magnificent', called Israel 'a cancer' and said homosexuals should be 'thrown from Big Ben'.
In January, he declared that Britain had become a 'land of war', and called on Muslims to unite behind Al Qaeda. He has supported suicide bombings and urged his followers to kill non-Muslims ' wherever, whenever'.
He also claimed he has no wish to stay in Britain, but his family would suffer if he was deported...

What justifies his presence?
Who imported this maggot?
He should have never been allowed into the country.
Brit's should be concerned about their own children and their future, not about parasites from the ME who want to destroy the country.
Round them up like cattle, intern them, strip them of all assets and ship them back in containers.
Sooner the better....

why do i get vertigo every time i hear the word "fair" slither out of a clerics mouth?
"i have wives, children, sons(and)daughters in law..."
are his sons and THEIR families supported by his government hand-outs, or do they get their own welfare checks? i assume none of them work if his deportation would cause them hardship.
if that is the case, he ain't much of a father is he, raising a family without instilling the concept of responsibility and self-reliance, so that they would mature into individuals who would be mortified to live on the dole. unless of course it's intentional jihad to inflict financial damage, in their own small way, upon their gracious host nation.
a unit(can't bring myself to call him a man) who calls murderers magnificent and advocates murder within his host country,
"whenever,wherever", suckles at the government teat, and advocates the overthrow of the government and institution of sharia, has the unmitigated balls to talk about fair?
i recommend we use that as a standard to gauge our success in fighting islamofascism. from now on, should a cleric or other scummy islamofascist mouthpiece start crying about "fair", consider the provoking action as "on the mark", a beneficial(to us) action in the war on islamofascism, and the cries of "unfair" as an accurate indicator of policy heading in the right direction.

I'd really like to see some journalist ask a person like Bakri what he would do if the shoe were on the other foot and, say, a Christian missionary living on public assistance in a country like Pakistan or Egypt was simply urging people to convert from Islam to Christianity and enjoying some modest success.
Laurel: When large-scale social benefit plans were advocated by Social Democrats back in the late 19th century and implemented by Bismarck's Germany and other states, the idea was to cushion the most vulnerable members of society from the vagaries of market economies.
Nobody dreamed there would come a day when adult dependents would outnumber contributing workers and capitalists; that a whole, new, dole-dependent social class would emerge; or that there would be people like Bakri who are best described as "proud parasites" taking benefits from Western societies that they truly wish to destroy.
But I have an anecdote. I recall that when I was being trained in the US Dept. of State (the aptly nicknamed Foggy Bottom), an Arabic-speaking colleague who had studied Islamic cultures in North Africa mentioned that people actually sat around in Moroccan coffee houses talking about which European countries offered the most generous welfare benefits. The point is, if you give away something for "free" (actually, paid for by taxable citizens, people are going to line up to get it.

Boo-Hoo.

Kepha: you are usually one of the best posters around here, but can you tell me in which planet " adult dependents would outnumber contributing workers and capitalists"? Reading conservative media may be a defence against the worst lunacies of the leftie mainstream, but they certainly can give you a few weird notions of their own. Reflect on the fact that Germany, one of the most heavily burdened countries in Europe (largely due to the economic disaster area that is the former East Germany) regards ten per cent unemployment (that is, ninety per cent of the adult population gainfully employed) as a disaster. In Britain, the percentage is four to five per cent. In what fevered imagination does this amount to "adult dependents... outnumber[ing] contributing workers and capitalists"?

I would love to see this guy in a third world country. He hates the west but I'll bet he would miss the good life. If he is deported a good wife (or wives) should go with him, matter of fact, the whole family should go!

All clerics - Hamza and Bakri are truthfully telling us THE future lies in store for us. They are our useful idiots. Expelling them will give us a brief bit of satisfaction, but what then? We will go back to sleep and the demographic threat will continue apace. It is the moderate Muslims who are lying. Hamza and Bakri, are genuinely our friends.
The future is writ large. It has happened all over the world when muslim populations reached a critical mass.
At present, the same Jihad is being conducted in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. In Asia - Moluccas, Phillipines, India, Burma and Thailand, to name a few. Slice by slice is the policy, if they cannot get it one bite.
So what particularity is in the West that makes it an exception to the rule? I cannot see any. The more we pander to Islamic norms and rituals, the more persistent and insistent will be the demands. If they are refused, then that is sufficient justification for violent jihad, as sanctioned by the koran.
We are in this war till the Calliphate is established worldwide or the coming of Judgement Day, whichever is the sooner. It is for this reason, that some of us are touting measures that are born of desperation. There does not seem to be a moderate solution to the dilemma.

Fair enough, Paolo. I used a bit of hyperbole. Shalom.

I find it interesting that we are seeing more and more stories like this...
Muslims who emmigrate to a nation, then unable or unwilling to contribute to the society they go on public assistance.
Then preach hatered and disgust of the same nation in which they and their families are dependant upon for their substanence..
I dont see a whole lot of people going to an islamic country then demanding welfare benifits and then opening up a church...
Just an observation...

Even the whining liberals are beginning to get a bit hot under the collar about this.
