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

Muslim cleric linked to jihad massacre gets $150,000 of legal aid in fight to stay in UK

Jan 23, 2017 6:55 am By Robert Spencer

Forget it, Jake. It’s Theresa May’s Insane Britannia. The only people the British government really gets exercised about and fights to silence or, in the case of foreigners, ban from the country, are foes of jihad terror. Jihad preachers have no trouble getting in and staying.

“Hate preacher linked to Tunisian beach atrocity fights to stay in the UK… and gets £123,000 of legal aid,” by Paul Bentley, Daily Mail, January 23, 2017 (thanks to Milad):

An Islamic hate preacher has won £123,000 in legal aid despite links to a terror group which murdered 30 British tourists at a Tunisian beach resort.

Hani al-Sibai was granted public money to help him fight deportation even though he is alleged to be a ‘key influencer’ of the extremist Ansar al-Sharia movement.

This group is believed to have recruited Seifeddine Rezgui, the gunman who massacred 38 British and other tourists at Sousse in June 2015.

Al-Sibai, 55, whose three-storey housing association home in West London is worth £1million, is also said to have radicalised Mohammed Emwazi, the infamous Islamic State executioner best known as ‘Jihadi John’.

He described the 2005 7/7 terror attacks in London as a ‘great victory’ for Al Qaeda and hailed Osama Bin Laden as ‘a lion among the lions of Islam’.

The taxpayer-funded payments will horrify families of the British Sousse victims, who last week heard harrowing evidence of how their loved ones were gunned down in a 20-minute rampage.

Days after the Tunisia terror attack, the Daily Mail revealed connections between the atrocity and extremists in the UK.

Al-Sibai arrived in Britain in 1994 and was refused asylum in 1998 because of his involvement with the Egyptian terror group Islamic Jihad.

He was jailed while the Government tried to deport him, but had to be freed after less than a year because Egypt failed to provide assurances that he would not be in danger there.

Human rights laws make it impossible for suspects to be returned to countries where they might be tortured or killed.

Over two decades he has received £123,000 in legal aid, which paid for representation by top human-rights lawyers.

Al-Sibai also used public funds to sue the authorities for unlawful detention. In 2004, the High Court ruled that 14 days of his ten months behind bars during 1998 and 1999 were not legally justified — the Government should have let him go as soon as it knew there was no chance of deporting him.

He received compensation but the Home Office would not disclose the figure to the Mail. Al-Sibai used public funds yet again to go to the European Court of Justice and challenge his inclusion on an official list of Al Qaeda affiliates. He won his case thanks to a series of official blunders, including not being given a proper chance to defend himself….

    See how effective civilization jihad is? Our laws in the West need to be overhauled to accommodate this new and wonderful cultural enrichment and diversity. They are doing this everywhere – they are expert at subversion and our leaders need to wake up.

      Keep the leagle system flowing in cash at public expense and danger? Thanks Ms. May, Frau Merkel and Obama.
      Here’s an idea, A bullet cost less than a dollar- the person doing the shooting can be the highest bidder.

      He can not be expelled for threats at home. It is a way for his followers and Islam’s goal to have him working there in the West.

    Yeah, here he is on memri-tv talking about Brexit.

    London-based Muslim hate-preacher, Hani Al-Sibai, speaks on Brexit:

    sad it is so sad to the UK committing mass suicide by being overcome by muslim usurpers whom THEY the UK govt invited in as guests!
    the UK stood alone for awhile against the Nazi menace and faced them down with the help of Churchill and his leadership!, but now they throw in the towel without a fight!

        Most of us didn’t want this invasion but unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately – for now) we are mostly law abiding people who do not rise up and riot against the elected Government.

        All this rot began under Tony Blair who demonised people against immigration as being racist. He and his wife, the ghastly Cherie Booth, a human rights lawyer, brought in as fast as they could all the human rights rubbish from the EU. She has made an extremely good living out of it and it is this legislation which enables people like Hani al Sibai to laugh in our faces and demand legal aid. The way the law is set up in the EU we cannot deny it to him, and as I said, we always observe the law.

        This is why so many of us voted for Brexit. We shall never rid ourselves of this scum until we are out and can make our own laws again.

        However, judging by the mad women and their pals on the march yesterday we will have a few battles still to fight. They should all be given a free ticket to Saudi Arabia, it might enlighten the stupid bints.

    Human rights laws make it impossible for suspects to be returned to countries where they might be tortured or killed.

    That should be *their* problem, not the host state’s. You are running from “persecution”? You are plotting against the nation that naively took you in? Then you get sent back, torture and death or not.

      Indeed.!!! I´m sick and tired of constantly being told that nothing can be done because its ” the law “.

      Laws that have been made can be unmade or modified to meet changing social and political circumstances.

      Don’t tell me that people can’t be deported because they have become ” citizens”.
      Yes, they can. Change the relevant laws to make it possible.

        Wish we could – sadly we are now ruled by the EU, which is not a democratic organisation.

    The specific question should be asked “If a Muslim cleric , be he an imam or a mullah, doesn’t encourage violence or condone violence does that made him a good man ? ” The answer is NO. This is because he still leads many people astray who go to his mosque . In that he teaches and brainwashing them into believing in many false doctrine. This doctrine are false because they are in contradiction to the Bible. As the following essay explains.
    About Muslim clerics, be they living in the UK or the USA or if they are the mullahs of Iran and Afghanistan or the imams of Pakistan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia or any other country. All those Muslims clerics are, according to the doctrines of the Bible, Isaiah 8:20. false religious teachers .Meaning false teacher s who teach and indoctrinate the false doctrines of the false religion of Islam into the hearts and minds of others . Such false teachers are described in the Bible ,in Second Peter 2:1. “There were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.” [K.J.V.]
    Therefore, to reply to the many different claims made by the imams and mullahs as well as the other apologists for Islam there is the Christian internet site. It’s http://www.answering-islam.org
    In addition, it should be make clear that in the context and meaning of the above Bible verse Second Peter 2:1. The word “destruction” does not mean “loss of being but loss of well-being ,as the destruction of well- being . That is “going to ruin” by ending up and a terrible place of awful suffering which the Bible call hell, Luke 16:19-31.

    Western countries should openly declare war on “radical Islam”, as Trump calls it, or simply pass legislation to properly deal with Islamic terrorism. Then they could use military laws to deal with these perverts expeditiously. It is absurd how they bend over backwards for all these jihadis in the past decades and are unable to properly render justice.

    Why hasn’t the BNP shot this bastard? Corporations have neutered governments to the point where they are useless. The only recourse we have now is revolution. Take to the streets and take back your nation!
