"The radical Islamist preacher Abu Qatada is to be released on bail within 24 hours, officials say.
A senior judge has signed papers authorising the release of Qatada, previously described as Osama Bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe. "
Why is this man allowed to stay in this country? Abu Qatada is a Jordanian, not as many claim a Palestinian. Abu Qatada was born in Bethlehem in 1960, at which time the West Bank was part of Jordan; there never having been a country called Palestine. He entered the UK on a forged UAE passport and requested asylum on grounds of religious persecution (how, by whom and why should we care. His book, Islamic Movements and Contemporary Alliances, which is widely cited by Sunni terrorists, argues essentially for no affiliation whatsoever between Muslim and non-Muslim countries. He wrote regularly for the al-Ansar magazine in the early 1990s, which was the official mouthpiece of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA).
Many of the facts in the above paragraph are from Wikipedia's piece on Abu Qatada. I cannot be bothered to waste my time any more describing all of the activities of this person. So here's just two:
"When questioned in the UK in February 2001, Abu Qatada was in possession of £170,000 cash, including £805 in an envelope labelled "For the Mujahedin in Chechnya". He was not charged.
Nineteen audio cassettes of Abu Qatada's sermons were found in the apartment of Mohamed Atta when it was searched after the September 11, 2001 attacks, which he led"
Do you feel safer with this man in the UK, whether or not he is under a 22 hour curfew?
Do you feel happy knowing that it is going to cost around £500,000 a year to keep this man secure?
UPDATE:
Did I dream it or did the BBC manage to do a whole report on Abu Qatada's case without once mentioning Islam or Muslims?
