'The European Court of Human Rights has halted the extradition of radical preacher Abu Hamza and Babar Ahmad to the United States on terror charges.I will not discuss Babar Ahmad's case but I will discuss Abu Hamza's. Abu Hamza the man using human rights legislation to prevent his extradition to the USA is not a pleasant chap, here are some of his comments that I think show how he feels about the human rights of others:
The court said the possible length of US jail terms - life without parole - raised concerns about breaches of the European human rights code and needed further examination before a final ruling.
Ahmad, a 36-year old computer expert, has been in a UK prison without trial for nearly six years, refused bail since his arrest in August 2004 on a US extradition warrant.
Radical preacher Hamza is also wanted on terror charges in the US.
Both appealed separately to the European Court of Human Rights on the grounds that their treatment and potential punishment could violate Human Rights Convention provisions on the "prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment".'
'Calling for Britons to become suicide bombers in the UK - "We ask Allah to make us mujahideen (holy warriors). We ask Allah to make us shaheed. Our immediate duty now is to correct our own homeland. So let us open our eyes, let us not go for jihad which is far away from our countries.
"Although it is good it is not as good as you do in your own door. You don't have to travel thousands and thousands of miles to become a shaheed - you can be shaheed right on your own doorstep. May Allah open our eyes for what's good for us - so we don't waste our Muslim blood far away."'
On the coming world domination by Islam: '"The real weapons of mass destruction are the desire for martyrdom. Millions of you are ready to be shaheed. Half a million martyrdom shaheed is enough for Muslims to control the whole of earth forever. In the end of the day, Islam must control earth, whether we like it or not."'
On why all Israelis are legitimate targets: '"All the Israelis are fighters. That's why anybody over 15 is a warrior and he should be killed...'
Abu Hamza should be deported to the USA and once gone, never allowed back in. He is a danger to the public and his presence in the UK is offensive to the majority of UK citizens whether of any or no religion.
In an unconnected story I learn from The Guardian that:
'An alleged al-Qaida operative who is said to pose a risk to national security but cannot be deported to Pakistan was arrested today after the United States requested his extradition.Do the law-abiding citizens of Britain have any Human Rights of our own or are they subservient to those of non-British terrorist suspects?
Metropolitan police counter-terrorism officers in the north-east of England detained Abid Naseer, 24, and took him to London to appear before City of Westminster magistrates court.
Naseer, a Pakistani computing student at John Moores University, in Liverpool, was arrested last year as part of group of 12 men who were suspected of planning a bomb attack in Manchester.
His highly unusual status follows a ruling by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission that he constituted a serious threat to national security but could not be deported because he was at risk of being tortured or killed in his native country.'
