Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Human Rights Act has helped 28 jihad terrorists stay in UK

Feb 1, 2015 8:31 am By Robert Spencer

Baghdad MezianeBritish taxpayers have been funding their efforts against deportation. Meanwhile, the Home Office makes sure that people like me who stand against jihad terror are banned from the country — and Britain continues its race to ruin.

“Human Rights Act has helped 28 terrorists to stay in UK,” by Robert Mendick, the Telegraph, January 31, 2015:

At least 20 foreign terrorists have used the Human Rights Act to remain in the UK, The Telegraph can disclose.

An analysis of legal cases over the past decade shows up to 28 convicted terrorists and suspects have escaped deportation and were allowed to stay in this country.

In the court cases, lawyers – typically funded through legal aid – used the Human Rights Act to prevent clients being sent overseas.

The scale of the problem represents a huge headache for the security services.

It is understood the terrorists remain under surveillance at huge cost to the public purse while also stretching manpower.

The problem of deporting terrorists has prompted calls from senior Conservatives, led by Chris Grayling, the Justice Secretary, for the Human Rights Act to be scrapped and replaced by a stricter Bill of Rights.

In January, The Telegraph revealed how a terrorist fundraiser with links to the al-Qaeda gang that murdered 17 innocent people in Paris over a three day killing spree has continued to stay in Britain despite being convicted more than a decade ago.

Baghdad Meziane, 49, a father-of-two, has avoided being sent back to his birth place of Algeria and remains in Leicester, where he ran a network providing fraudulent passports and credit cards for jihadists.

Another terror suspect, it can now be disclosed, has evaded deportation by refusing to reveal his real name in a case that has lasted more than 15 years at a huge cost to the British taxpayer.

The man, believed to be Algerian, cannot be sent back there because Algeria will not accept him without proof of his real identity including his nationality.

The terror suspect – known only as ‘B’ – was first arrested in 1998 for his connection to an Algerian terror cell, linked to al-Qaeda, and the British courts declared him a “risk to national security” as long ago as 2008.

But the man has refused to say who he really is and is now on bail, living with his family and allowed to go swimming and attend his local mosque. The case, incredibly, remains ongoing with a further hearing due in the coming months to have all bail restrictions lifted.

Attend his local mosque? But…but…David Cameron says jihad terror has nothing to do with Islam!

The man’s lawyers had argued that it would be an abuse of human rights laws to force him to leave the country, pointing out officials could not draw up crucial paperwork guaranteeing his safety without knowing his true identity.

Two men convicted of aiding and abetting terrorists behind a failed bomb plot in London on July 21 2005 have also evaded deportation using the Human Rights Act.

Siraj Yassin Abdullah Ali, 37, was convicted of aiding and abetting the al-Qaeda cell behind the 21/7 bomb plot that attempted to repeat the atrocity on 7/7 two weeks later, and was jailed for nine years.

Meanwhile Ismail Abdurahman, 30, who hid would-be bomber Hussain Osman for three days, escaped being deported to his native Somalia. Abdurahman was sentenced to eight years. Both were released after serving part of their sentence.

The Ministry of Justice confirmed that both Meziane and suspect ‘B’ were legally aided, meaning the UK taxpayer has been funding their lengthy appeals against deportation. It is thought Abdurahman and Ali were also legally aided.

The dossier of foreign terrorists residing in the UK has been compiled by a respected intelligence and security think tank using legal databases and court reports over the past decade as well as other sources.

The Henry Jackson Society said the numbers remaining in the UK presented a huge difficulty to intelligence services.

It has uncovered 28 convicted or suspected terrorists who over the past decade have been allowed to stay in the UK and resist deportation using the Human Rights Act.

The Home Office said it did not keep figures on the numbers of terror suspects allowed to remain here by the courts.

All the terrorists in the Henry Jackson Society dossier are from countries which have poor human rights records – allowing them to claim they would face ill-treatment if sent back home.

Under Article 3 of both the European Convention on Human Rights and the Human Rights Act, individuals are protected against torture and inhuman or degrading treatment….

A Home Office source said last week that officials were “in the process of removing Meziane”….

Sure you are.

    What about the rights of the people forced to live with, and pay the sustenance of, terrorists whose ideology makes the nazi propaganda against Jews look flattering?

    The problem with this country is that our political system is so wrapped up in PC & “multiculturalism” (which doesn’t mean a street with a variety of nationalities & creeds, it means areas colonized by one race & creed) that anyone who speaks out against the Islamisation of the country & colonization of the area in which they grew up is labelled as a racist by the middle & upper classes who have one foreigner in their area & has no idea. Add to this the fact that there isn’t a strong nationalist political party this means people like me have no one representing us & we can’t speak out about the Islamisation of the country because we’ll be arrested for inciting racial hatred meanwhile the people who are actually inciting hatred are protected because of their “religion”. As someone from a poor background with career ambitions I can’t afford a criminal conviction which is what speaking the truth gets you in “Great” Britain; yet promoting FGM or calling for beheadings isn’t a crime.

    ” Human rights” is big business in Britain.
    ” human rights” lawyers are raking in millions of pounds in taxpayer funded legal aid every year.
    These legal aid parasites are being paid by the British Government, to fight to keep in Britain, the very people that the British Government is trying to deport.
    There is a very simple answer, that the British Government refuses to implement. ie legal aid should only be available to British citizens ( regardless of race or skin colour) and not the legions of bogus “refugees” and ” asylum” seekers who regard Britain as the land of milk and honey AKA the LAND OF FREE BENIFITS.
    Let the “Human Rights” brigade pay the legal bills of the people they are desperate to keep in Britain.

      Cherie Booth was a ‘Human Rights’ lawyer (and probably still is) and whilst her husband’s government were trying to deport these parasites, she was defending them, and getting paid thousands in the process!

    @ Charli Main
    “…legal aid should only be available to British citizens”

    Many human rights organisations, as well as many poll centers, are directly or indirectly funded by rich Muslim states. In other words, they are in bed with the enemy. They are biased, complicits, TRAITORS.
    They should be called “terrorists’ rights organisations.” They should be thoroughly investigated and brought to justice.
    Unfortunately, the same applies to those who are supposed to do the investigations: our PC leaders.

      Salah, It isn’t the human rights organizations who are traitors…they are the SOLUTION!

      The traitors to Western civilization are the cultural Marxists who follow the Frankfurt School of the ‘critical theory’. The goal of the Frankfurt School is to destroy European values by importing ‘noble savages’ who hate Europe, but love a higher standard of living and who wish to parasitize the West.

      The Leftards wish to destroy the values and the institutions those values created and replace them with a New Marxist Order of commissars and brown-skinned peon/slaves. They have decided that European males must be superannuated.

        Mortimer, I respectfully disagree. Human rights were really invented after the 2nd world war as “the right to vote”, “the right to practice your religion” and “the right to live in peace”. (Can’t remember exactly, but I think that’s roughly it). Today it’s come to mean any old thing, so you get ridiculous counterproductive decisions like this. And like political correctness, it sounds great but in practice it’s oppressive and ultimately leads to injustice. Common law should prevail and these people should be deported to prevent harm to our societies. Our values don’t begin and end with human rights.

    1. The Right to Life
    The first and the foremost basic right is the right to live and respect human life. The Holy Quran lays down:

    Whosoever kills a human being without (any reason like) man slaughter, or corruption on earth, it is as though he had killed all mankind … (5:32)
    2. The Right to the Safety of Life
    Immediately after the verse of the Holy Quran which has been mentioned in connection with the right to life,

    God has said in the Holy Quran: “And whoever saves a life it is as though he had saved the lives of all mankind” (5:32).
    3. Respect for the Chastity of Women
    The third important thing that we find in the Charter of Human Rights granted by Islam is that a woman’s chastity has to be respected and protected under all circumstances, whether she belongs to our own nation or to the nation of an enemy, whether we find her in the wild forest or in a conquered city; whether she is our co-religionist or belongs to some other religion or has no religion at all. A Muslim cannot outrage her under any circumstances. All promiscuous relationship has been forbidden to him, irrespective of the status or position of the woman, whether the woman is a willing or an unwilling partner to the act.

    The words of the Holy Quran in this respect are: “Do not
    approach (the bounds of) adultery” (17:32).
    Equality of Human Beings
    Islam not only recognizes absolute equality between men irrespective of any distinction of colour, race or nationality, but makes it an important and significant principle, a reality.

    The Almighty God has laid down in the Holy Quran: O mankind! We created you from a single soul, male and female, and made you into nations and tribes, so that you may come to know one another. Truly, the most honored of you in Allah’s sight is the greatest of you in piety. Allah is All-Knowing,All-Aware. (49:13)

    This means that the division of human beings into nations, races, groups and tribes is for the sake of distinction, so that people of one race or tribe may meet and be acquainted with the people belonging to another race or tribe and cooperate with one another. This division of the human race is neither meant for one nation to take pride in its superiority over others nor is it meant for one nation to treat another with contempt or disgrace, or
    regard them as a mean and degraded race and usurp their rights.
    The Security of Life and Property
    In the address which the Prophet delivered on the occasion of the Farewell Hajj, he said:

    “Your lives and properties are forbidden to one another till you meet your Lord on the Day of Resurrection.”

    God Almighty has laid down in the Holy Quran: “Anyone who kills a believer deliberately will receive as his reward (a sentence) to live in Hell for ever. God will be angry with him and curse him, and prepare dreadful torment for him” (4:93).

    The Prophet (pbuh) has also said about the non-Muslim citizens of the Muslim State: “One who kills a man(non-Muslim citizens of the Muslim State) under covenant will not even smell the fragrance of Paradise” (al-Bukhari and Abu Dawud).

      Well, well, well, the copy/paste taqqyiah artist, shabeer_hassan, strikes again.

      Here’s the full text to 5:32:

      Because of that, We decreed upon the Children of Israel that whoever kills a soul unless for a soul or for corruption [done] in the land – it is as if he had slain mankind entirely. And whoever saves one – it is as if he had saved mankind entirely. And our messengers had certainly come to them with clear proofs. Then indeed many of them, [even] after that, throughout the land, were transgressors.

      What was 5:32? It was muhammad, remembering Jews of what the Jewish scriptures said. it was not a rule of conduct for muslims – that comes next, in 5:33

      5:33
      Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land.

      5:33 allows the killing of anyone who opposes muhammad or does what’s vaguely described as “causing corruption”.

      Does that seem like the quran is saying that the right to life is the first and foremost right of any human being? Or does that seem like the quran is saying “you have the right to life as long as you don’t oppose muhammad”?

    shabeer_hassan says: “The first and the foremost basic right is the right to live and respect human life.”

    “There is no indemnity obligatory for killing a non-Muslim (harbi) at war with Muslims.” -Reliance of the Traveller, o4.17, p.593

    According to Sharia law, all Muslims are vigilante murderers and authorized to commit murder of any blasphemer.

    That’s ‘respect’? Not to me.

    Shabeer, you are psychiatric.

    The survey — taken in August and published Thursday by Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs — showed a massive surge in negative attitudes toward Israel since the previous such study, two years earlier. Thirty-five percent of Britons said they “feel especially unfavorable towards” Israel in the 2014 survey, compared to 17% in 2012.

    The people of the Uk, Britain, England or whatever those freaks call themselves, loathe Israel more than Iran!!!! No doubt the attitude is the same in Australia and New Zealand.

    The WASP has always been a hateful creature to non-WASPS, why should we be surprised?? As the UK undergoes colonization, the UK WASP will be busy at war with forces within their island and not external to it.

    Justice is served for their illegal invasions since the 15th century in search of gold and silver and then oil inter alia.

    They will have the right to clean up the mess when one of these wolves who are in packs does the unimaginable. You can not negate and put people’s lives at risk just for these men’s “rights” they forfeited them when they choose to engage in dangerous activity. They won’t give their names well just put them on a boat with no food, water, or sails and send them out to sea I am sure they would give whatever information you need. I am sorry that Robert Spencer and friends are the ones treated as if they have no human rights. You should be able to enter the UK, but I guess they consider you a proverbial bomb.

    Western governments invariably play stupid when it comes to removing criminal Muslim riff-raff and their spawn by insisting that each must be shipped back to his own native hellhole: Algerians to Algeria, Lebanese to the Lebanon, etc. In many cases, governments of those countries are far from keen to get their prodigal citizens back.

    In fact, most of these charming individuals were admitted into a Western country by claiming to be refugees from political persecution in their native hell-holes.

    So here is the solution: let’s pay some Third World country (e.g. the Democratic Republic of the Congo) $2,500 per year for each undesirable with his spawn. This is plenty of money for food, clothing and shelter to local standards. The money can come out of their existing aid budget, so the real cost is zero.

    Since Muslims famously excel at hard, physical labor and and love taking orders from Black Africans (particularly African women), the new Congolese citizens should prosper and do well in their new country. /sarc

    Transportation made Australia great. There is no reason why the Congo should not be tomorrow’s Australia.

    England the the biggest Christian colonial country that has caused a lot of suffering to other people in the word.It is therefore very right that it is not cursed by Allah to be invaded by millions of hungry Moslems leaving their country of rahmatan lil, alamin( blessed by Allah and Mohammad).
