Sucking At the Teat of the Infidel

Tom sent me this article regarding England's efforts to crack down on muslim extremism with this teaser:

If the US proposed half the things the Brits are on their way to passing,
all sorts of ACLU hell would break loose.

Exactly what would the ACLU have a problem with? Well...

• Deporting foreigners who foster hate, or advocate or justify violence.
•Throwing out those linked to extremist websites, groups, bookshops or centres.
• Banning foreign extremist preachers from Britain.
•Closing mosques and places of worship if used for 'fomenting extremism'.
•Outlawing worldwide the condoning or glorifying of terrorism.
• Refusing asylum to anyone linked to terrorism.
• Stripping citizenship from extremist naturalised Britons.
• Banning extremist Islamic groups Hizb ut Tahrir and Al-Muhajiroun.

One wonders how the Blair could be so heartless when all Islam needs is a little understanding.

The Daily Mail has the heart-wrenching story of a muslim cleric whose life will be directly affected by these efforts.

Speaking after the Prime Minister announced his clampdown, father-of-seven
Sheik Omar Bakri said: "I have wives, children, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law.
It would be hard on my family if I was deported."

Since Syrian-born Bakri settled in Britain, he and his extended family
have raked in benefits amounting to at least £300,000.

He is registered disabled because of an injury to his leg during his
childhood, and was recently supplied with a £31,000 Ford Galaxy under the Motability scheme.

Bakri, who lives in a £200,000 home in North London, tops up his
£250-a-week benefit payments with an extra £50 incapacity allowance.

And how does the poor mullah repay the generosity of western culture?

He has praised the September 11 terrorists as 'magnificent', called Israel
'a cancer' and said homosexuals should be 'thrown from Big Ben'.

In January, he declared that Britain had become a 'land of war',
and called on Muslims to unite behind Al Qaeda. He has supported suicide
bombings and urged his followers to kill non-Muslims ' wherever, whenever'.

He also claimed he has no wish to stay in Britain, but his family would
suffer if he was deported.

One wonders how such a deeply devout man of such conviction could possibly live with himself after taking greasy oil money from the west to support the family which he clearly cannot. But hey, the guy gets credit for one thing. He knows how to play the social system as well as any victim class in this country. I'm surprised the guy couldn't manage to squeeze a little government funded satellite television while he was at it.

Tom pretty much summed this one up thusly:

And oh yeah. A tear...sniff...for the poor Welfare-Mullah.

The "Welfare-Mullah." Heh.
