British politicians are still bleating about treason. One of the mad muslin clerics from Britain has already left the country in fear. Actually, the cleric in question, Omar Bakri Mohammed, claims it's merely a holiday and he will be back. It stikes me as odd that he can leave for Beruit for a holiday so easily since he is actually claiming political asylum in Britain. He did add that he wouldn't be back if the British government claimed he was not welcome.

Omar Bakri Mohammed is in fact not British, he was born in Syria and therefore can't possibly be charged under treason law, despite what Labour MP Andrew Dismore says. Why are they so obsessed with treason charges? Reading up on the guy, he does appear to be a most unpleasant character. He gained permananet residence in Britain in 1996 after essentially being thrown out of Syria for an involvenment in a political coup. He then went to Saudi Arabia where he was also forced to leave for other political reasons.

In London he lives on state benefit, paid for with my taxes, and claims to be the spokesman for bin Laden's International Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders. He had links to some of the 9-11 bombers, and to bin Laden himself. He's been investigated by MI5 as far back as 1991. The question is, why is he still a free man? And come to think of it, why did we grant asylum to a man who had been deported twice for violence and acts of religious extremism?

And that's all there is time for today.
