Taliban to begin waging jihad "in an organized manner"
MIRANSHAH: The Taliban in Waziristan announced forming a ‘Shura Ittehadul Mujahideen’ (Council of United Mujahideen) on Sunday to wage jihad ‘in an organised manner’.
Pamphlets distributed in the Miranshah Bazaar and other areas of the agency headquarters said the forces led by Mullah Muhammad Omar and Osama Bin Laden were fighting against ‘infidels’ led by US President Barack Obama, Pakistani President Asif Zardari and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
They quoted verses of the holy Quran calling people to fight a holy war against ‘infidels’, who they said were killing innocent Muslims.
The announcement was made by Taliban leaders Hafiz Gul Bahadur, who is the Taliban emir in North Waziristan, Baitullah Mehsud, the top Taliban commander in South Waziristan, and Maulvi Nazir, the chief of Taliban in Wana, who said they wanted to “stop the infidels from carrying out acts of barbarism against innocent people”.
They want to stop us from killing innocent people? Maybe they should have thought about that before they blew up the WTC and the Pentagon.
Malaysia: Constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion "doesn't apply" to Muslims who want to leave Islam
The question is valid even when sharia is not as officially compulsory as it is in Malaysia: Social and familial pressures are just as likely to make the idea of the "choice" of systems a farce and work against the people most in need of the legal protections of the non-sharia system.
FREEDOM of religion as stated in Article 11 (1) of the Federal Constitution does not cover Muslims who wish to convert at any time.
Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz said Muslims who wish to renounce the religion would need to obtain an order or declaration from the Syariah Court, which has the jurisdiction under state Enactments of Islam.
The case Lina Joy vs Federal Territory Religious Department would be the guide for anyone intending to renounce Islam, he said.
“The judgment in the case states clearly that a Muslim cannot renounce the religion as he wishes. If such freedom is given to Muslims, this will affect the status of Islam as the official religion, as stated in the Federal Constitution,” he said.
Replying to Zulkifli Noordin (PKR – Kulim Bandar Baru), he said Phrase 4 of Article 11 prohibited non-Muslims from spreading other religions to Muslims.
This is in the moderate country of Malaysia. Can you imagine what it is like in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan or Iran?

U.S. Muslim Brotherhood Leader Seeks Virginia House Seat
Elections for vacant seats in the House of Delegates are always interesting, but the Democratic nomination fight in the 35th District looks like it'll be interesting indeed. Esam Omeish, a pediatric surgeon from Northern Virginia, has joined the race to succeed Del. Steve Shannon, D-Vienna. The 35th District includes the areas of Fairfax County just north and west of the city of Fairfax. Shannon is running for Attorney General. Omeish, the president of the Muslim American Society at the time, came into the political limelight nearly two years ago after he was appointed to the Commission on Immigration by Democratic Gov. Tim Kaine. The appointment didn't sit well with Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Woodstock, a fellow member of the commission. The society was too closely connected the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian group that gave rise to Hamas, for his taste. Gilbert wrote to Kaine and asked him to reconsider the appointment. A spokesman for the governor at the time dismissed Gilbert's concerns as "innuendo, moving dangerously close to slander," and challenged Gilbert to offer proof. Omeish resigned less than a day later, after online videos came to light in which Omeish accused Israel of genocide against Palestinians and exhorted Muslims to "the jihad way." Omeish later defended both the Muslim American Society and his comments after his resignation, saying in a press release that MAS "is an American organization, completely transparent and above-board, and committed to the civic engagement of Muslims for the betterment of all of American society." His call to jihad "was in the context of his public criticism of the Lebanon invasion and the oppression of Palestinians" and was not a call for violence. Omeish has three opponents for the Democratic nomination.This is how the stealth jihad works. They will slowly but surely move into an area and then start running for office. Once enough of them get into politics we will see the same crap that is happening in the UK. This man must not be allowed to get elected.
US to donate $900 million in aid to Gaza
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton plans to announce a $900 million pledge of US aid for Gaza and the Palestinian Authority at a donors' meeting in Egypt next week, a State Department official said on Monday.
The money, which needs US congressional approval, will be distributed through UN and other bodies and not via Hamas, which rules Gaza, said one official.
"This money is for Gaza and to help strengthen the Palestinian Authority. It is not going to go to Hamas," said the official, who asked not to be named.
The March 2 donors conference in Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh resort aims to raise humanitarian and rebuilding funds for Gaza after Israel's offensive at the end of last year.
Preliminary estimates put the damage in Hamas-run Gaza after Israel's offensive at nearly $2 billion.
Clinton's bid to get "substantial" funds could face an uphill battle in Congress where requests for Gaza will likely meet resistance as Hamas continues to rule there and the US focus is on its own souring economy.
So, we are going to give the terrorists money by sending it through the UN? Still think Obama is not a muslim?
Man slays sister for honour
According to SHO Ismail Lashari, Bux only dealt one swift blow to the victim’s head and when her screams attracted the neighbours, rather than fleeing, Bux waited for the police to arrive.
The police have registered a case on behalf of the victim’s son.
However, according to family sources, Bux was in financial debt of the landlord and as he could not repay the money, he had married his daughter to the landlord.
However, now the landlord wanted to marry Shehla Bibi, therefore, Bux thought it best to kill her rather than stain the family’s honour.
The deceased was a widowed mother of five children.
And some try to say that it is not islam that causes this problem. Sure.
Al-Qaeda second banana: "The jihad to liberate Palestine and all the homelands of Islam mustn't cease...and Crusader and Jewish targets are spread all
Al-Qaida's No. 2 warned Palestinians in Gaza against accepting a truce with Israel in an audio message posted on extremist Web sites, an Internet monitoring service said Monday.Egyptian-born Ayman al-Zawahiri said Israel's Arab aides are trying to impose a truce in Gaza to defeat the Palestinians and he called on them to be steadfast while Jewish targets are attacked around the world.
"The jihad to liberate Palestine and all the homelands of Islam mustn't cease, and if the field tightens in one place, it widens in other places, and Crusader and Jewish targets are spread all over the world," he said in a transcript of the speech provided by the U.S.-based SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors Islamic extremist Web sites....
This is the enemy. We need to kill this guy and all those that support this kind of ideology, yes this includes woman and children too.
Wilders to screen Fitna at the Capitol!
Yes, Geert Wilders originated that idea! Osama bin Laden never thought of it!
Kyl is sponsoring the event for Geert Wilders, who was denied entry to London earlier this month because British authorities said he posed a threat to public order.
Wilders’ 15-minute film juxtaposes verses from the Quran with images of violence by Muslims. Wilders has called the Quran a "fascist book" and said it should be banned.
Kyl agreed to facilitate the event because "all too often, people who have the courage to point out the dangers of militant Islamists find themselves vilified and endangered," said spokesman Ryan Patmintra.
Thursday’s event was being sponsored by the International Free Press Society, headed by Danish activist Lars Hedegaard, and the Center for Security Policy, a think tank in Washington led by Republican Frank Gaffney....
This man is a true hero. He is spot on for calling the koran hate speech.

Beheading of Wife Poses Another Test for U.S. Muslims
The crime was so brutal, shocking and rife with the worst possible stereotypes about their faith that some U.S. Muslims thought the initial reports were a hoax.Of course they did. How could a muslim behead someone? This is not in their character now, is it?.
The harsh reality of what happened in an affluent suburb of Buffalo, New York — the beheading of 37-year-old Aasiya Hassan and arrest of her estranged husband in the killing — is another crucible for American Muslims.
Now, as Muzzammil "Mo" Hassan faces second-degree murder charges, those American Muslims who have spoken out are once again explaining that their faith abhors such horrible acts, and they are using the tragedy as a rallying cry against domestic violence.
The killing and its aftermath raise hard questions for Muslims — about gender issues, about distinctions between cultural and religious practices, and about differing interpretations of Islamic texts regarding the treatment of women.
"Muslims don't want to talk about this for good reason," said Saleemah Abdul-Ghafur, a Muslim author and activist. "There is so much negativity about Muslims, and it sort of perpetuates it. The right wing is going to run with it and misuse it. But we've got to shine a light on this issue so we can transform it."
"I wouldn't say (the problem) is particular to the Muslim community, but to the immigrant community whether you're Muslim or otherwise," Anwar, whose parents are from India, said in an interview. "Women don't speak up about it. It's a taboo that all immigrant communities sort of face."
The muslim community is not to blame, it is all immigrants? I don't remember hearing about the Irish and Polish communities having beheadings? Could not be the religion. Naaa. The koran does have verses that specifically call for beheadings. I am not sure about any other religion having that in their books, but then again the koran is the last book from god. Sure.
His wife does not cover her hands – should he threaten to divorce her?
This is from Islam Q&A. I love this. This is in their own words.
What should I do if my wife refuses to cover her hands, even though I asked her to do that from the beginning, then I commanded her to, but she refuses? What do you say if I threaten her with divorce?.
Allaah has enjoined woman to be obedient to her husband, and has made men qawwaamoon (protectors and maintainers) of women. They are supposed to direct and look after women as a leader directs and looks after his people, because of the physical and mental characteristics with which Allaah has distinguished them, as well as the financial duties that He has enjoined upon them. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allaah has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means”
If the wife goes against his wishes and refuses to obey him, the husband has to take a gradual approach in handling the matter. First he should admonish her and remind her of the punishment for disobeying his command. If that does not succeed, then he moves on to forsaking her in bed. If that does not work, then he may hit her, but in a manner that is not severe, and there is nothing wrong with also threatening her with divorce.
You see woman are really property. It says so in the koran, the terrorist training manual. Still believe that crap that islam respects muslims?
SOMALI VS AFGHANI RACE WAR FLARES IN MULTICULTURAL BRITAIN
Somalian immigrants, coming into the UK, are also importing terrorism as per this recent article.

The scary part about this kind of behavior is that my apartment complex is now taking on "refugees" from Somalia and Iraq. We have already had two home invasions by "black men" against two of the Iraqis. The first was three men in broad daylight with guns. They took everything, whatever that means, from one of the Iraqis living in my building. There are virtually no Mexicans here anymore. Now we have muslims running all over dressed in their bags from head to toe. The men don't work. Guess who is paying for all this? US.
Pakistan taking steps in right direction: Hillary
LAHORE: The United States has assured Pakistan of continued support for efforts to eliminate terrorism and extremism, a private TV channel reported on Saturday.
According to the channel, US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton telephoned President Asif Ali Zardari in China and assured him Washington would continue to help Islamabad in its efforts to eradicate terrorism. Clinton also said she was looking forward to meeting Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi in Washington on Monday.
Released Guantanamo man accused of plotting to detonate a dirty bomb "can settle in UK"
Out to "settle" with infidels one way or anotherA UK resident soon to be released from Guantanamo Bay is unlikely to face harassment by British authorities, says the UK reviewer of terror laws.
Lord Carlile said he thought Binyam Mohamed would be "given every opportunity, subject to the law, to integrate himself back" into society.
Mr Mohamed has been detained since 2002 and spent more than four years at the controversial US military base in Cuba.
It is not clear if the Ethiopian-born man will be allowed to stay in the UK.
On Friday, Foreign Secretary David Miliband said agreement had been reached with the US for 30-year-old Mr Mohamed's return "as soon as the practical arrangements can be made".
Liberal Democrat peer Lord Carlile is the independent reviewer of terror laws for the government.
He said: "I would expect a light and gentle touch to be applied to ensure that he [Mr Mohamed] is not harassed in any way by the authorities and is given every opportunity, subject to the law, to integrate himself back into British society."
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme: "I hope very much, and I trust, that he will be given every facility available to be able to return to a normal life as a British resident."
The US had accused Mr Mohamed of involvement in a plot to detonate a "dirty bomb" in America, but all charges against him were dropped last year.
Mr Mohamed claims he was tortured into falsely confessing to terrorism and alleges UK MI5 officers were complicit in his abuse...
Sure he was tortured. Right out of the terrorist training manual. Claim torture, now you are the victim. Of course the muslims are always being persecuted. The UK are going to go out of their way to make this guy feel right at home. They will give him a place to live, money to live on and all the while he will be going to a mosque somewhere planning the next attack in England. Dhimmi's.

U.S. Defense Secretary: Swat-style Afghan truce acceptable
Gates says political reconciliation has to be part of long-term solution
KRAKOW: Washington could accept a political agreement between the Afghan government and Taliban along the lines of the truce in Pakistan, US Defence Secretary Robert Gates said on Friday.
Gates’ comments at the close of a NATO meeting contrasted with those of Richard Holbrooke, the US envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan, who said he was worried that the peace deal was tantamount to surrender by Pakistan.
“We have said all along that ultimately some sort of political reconciliation has to be part of the long-term solution in Afghanistan,” Gates said.
NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said at the defence meeting that a broader regional approach was needed to help put down the insurgency in Afghanistan. The focus would be on more involvement from Pakistan, but could include Iran one day, he said.
He said the suggestion does not mean that NATO plans to enter into dialogue with Iran immediately but that Tehran could be involved “at a certain stage ... in a regional approach toward Afghanistan”.
Gates told reporters in Krakow, southern Poland, later that up to 20 nations have offered to boost their civilian or military commitments to Afghanistan and more are likely to do so soon.
The Paki's have lost all control of their country. The have now let the Taliban have their way in the northwest territories. The jihadis will soon have nukes. This is not good. Now we are talking about allowing the same thing in Afghanistan? Isn't this what we destroyed in Afghanistan? And people say that I am crazy for believing Obama is a muslim. His actions are proving me correct.
Cute kid in football jersey wants a place to pray; what could be wrong?
This is the kind of story that is designed to tug on the heartstrings: here is a good boy, a pious boy, and all he wants is a few minutes out of the school day to fulfill his religious obligations, but the soulless wheels of bureaucracy turn in vain, and the whole thing has become a snafu. Why do things have to be this complicated? Can't you just let the boy pray?Unfortunately, however, there are other issues involved. The ACLU has been working for decades to keep Christian prayer out of public schools. Now, as you can see in this article, school officials are anxious to be accommodating of Muslim prayer in this public school. The bottom line is that policies should be formulated and enforced consistently; the fact that Islam has obligatory prayer at specified times and Christianity does not should not become a pretext to allow Muslim students privileges in public schools that Christian students do not have.
WAYNE — Rola Awwad wants a private space for her 10-year-old son at Albert Payson Terhune Elementary School to exercise his right to Muslim prayer.
The school district had offered to let him pray at recess — either outside or in a classroom while classmates are there. And that, says Awwad, is "unacceptable."
All students are constitutionally guaranteed the right to pray during the school day as long as it doesn't interfere with learning. But Wayne is struggling with what accommodations to make if a Muslim student requests privacy for prayer.
The answer in other North Jersey districts ranges from providing access to the principal's office, to providing a spare room. But school administrators in suburban Wayne have been weighing the question since fall, when Awwad asked the principal to allow her son, Adam, a few minutes of privacy each afternoon to pray.
The district says it's concerned about allowing a young pupil to be unsupervised, even for a short time, and Awwad said her request was met with resistance.
"Why can't he be on his own for five minutes praying?" said Awwad, a Palestinian who moved to the United States from Jordan 11 years ago.
Read it all:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/024959.php#respond
This is another example of sharia creep. He is just a little boy that needs a place to pray by himself. What ever happened to the separation of church and state that the ACLU uses against the Christians and Jews? Why is islam the protected religion that is good for all public school children to be exposed to?
British Muslims providing Taliban with electronic devices for roadside bombs to kill British troops
With fellow countrymen like these, who needs enemies?Electronic devices such as "mobile phones filled with explosives, which could kill or seriously injure British soldiers patrolling on foot, and more sophisticated devices that can be used against military vehicles." Quite ingenious these British Muslims; combining their Western heritage (e.g.., technology) with their jihadi blood-lust, they can sure be quite creative.
British Muslims are providing the Taliban with electronic devices to make roadside bombs for use in attacks against British forces serving in southern Afghanistan, The Telegraph can disclose.
The devices, which enable Taliban fighters to detonate roadside bombs by remote control, are either sent to sympathizers in the region, or carried by volunteers who fly to Pakistan and then make their way across the border.
Details of how British electronic components have been found in roadside bombs were given to David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, when he visited British troops at their military compound at Lashkagar, in Helmand province, earlier this week.
In a briefing on British operations in southern Afghanistan by Brigadier Gordon Messenger, the Royal Marine commander of the British battlegroup, Mr Miliband was shown examples of the crude, home-made devices that are being used in attacks against British patrols.
They included mobile phones filled with explosives, which could kill or seriously injure British soldiers patrolling on foot, and more sophisticated devices that can be used against military vehicles.
Explosives experts who have examined the devices say they have found British-made electronic components that enable Taliban insurgents to detonate their home-made, road-side bombs by remote control.
The electronic devices smuggled into Afghanistan from Britain range from basic remote control units that are normally used to fly model airplanes to more advanced components that enable insurgents to conduct attacks from up to a mile away from British patrols.
"We have found electronic components in devices used to target British troops that originally come from Britain," a British explosives officer told Mr Miliband during a detailed briefing on the type of improvised explosive device (IED) used against British forces.
When asked how the components had reached Afghanistan, the officer explained that they had either been sent from Britain, or physically brought to Afghanistan by British Muslims who had flown over.
The disclosure is the latest in a string of suggestions from British commanders about the connections between British Muslims and violence in Afghanistan...
The koran, the terrorist training manual, makes it obligatory for all muslims to wage jihad in whatever way that they are able. Some will go and fight, others will fund it and others will enable it with supplies. This is one of the reasons the West needs to ban islam and deport all muslims. If they have citizens convert, they must be stripped of their citizenship. We also need to change the interpretation of the fourteenth amendment so children of illegals are not considered citizens of the US by birth.

Norway: Islamic Council says female agents shouldn't arrest men
Female Muslim police agents should primarily not arrest men, thinks imam Ahmed Esmaili, head of the imam committee at the Islamic Council of Norway (IRN).
"If she must arrest, and she is alone or together with other women, then she can do it. But if she is together with other colleague, who can take this part of the work, she isn't required to do it," says Esmaili to VG.
The reason being that Muslims shouldn't have physical contact with people of the opposite sex who are not family.
According to justice minister Knut Storberget's (Labor) letter to the police directorate 'covering of the hair will be given a humble scope'. That's not enough, thinks Esmaili.
"It's not enough with just a headscarf. Hijab is a garment which covers the entire body, except the hands and face. It's an obligation and a decree from Allah," says Esmaili.
Then go live in a country that really cares about your religion. If this is so important, don't be a cop.
Hey EU wake up. You give them a millimeter they want a kilometer.
Pennsylvania: Muslim students intimidate Jewish classmates, but attempts to take action lead only to calls for "education" and "dialogue"
In any event, the ban on kaffiyeh headscarves came as "an attempt to diffuse tension between Jewish and Muslim students, after three students wore shirts to school saying 'RIP Israel'."The men in the picture above are wearing kaffiyehs. You can see what they are used for. They are the symbol of jihad and Jew hating.
Wearing the scarves was politically motivated, and designed to intimidate. But no, those scarf-bereft students are the real victims here. Victims of bitter headscarf-phobes clinging to guns and religion. "Pennsylvania High School Rescinds Ban on Muslim Scarves," by Diane Macedo for Fox News, February 18:
A Pennsylvania high school is permitting Muslim students to wear scarves known as kaffiyehs in school just a day after ordering two students to remove them for class.
Gateway High School officials met with parents Wednesday after seniors Mohammad Al-Abbasi, 18, and Ahmad Al-Sadr, 17, left school Tuesday after refusing to take off the checkered scarves, believed by some to be a symbol of terrorism.
District spokeswoman Cara Zanella told FOXNews.com the ban was an attempt to diffuse tension between Jewish and Muslim students, after three students wore shirts to school saying "RIP Israel."
The students removed the shirts when ordered to do so but the incident led to a petition from Jewish students saying they felt threatened, Zanella said.
A student then wrote an article in one of the local newspapers about Muslim dress, reportedly caling the scarves "hate" clothing.
"As a result then the tensions started to escalate between the two factions," Zanella said. "So the principal went back to the students and said, 'We're trying to get everyone on the same page here. Could you agree not to wear the scarves for the time being because the tensions are escalating?'"
The students agreed and complied until the incident Tuesday.
In response the principal gathered the students in question Wednesday along with parents, school officials and a number of faith based organizations to find a resolution to the matter.
"It was agreed upon today in the meeting that the students would be allowed to wear the scarves," Zanella said. "They also wanted the students to speak in a group session with one another — the 35 Jewish students that signed the letter to the principal, the students who were wearing the scarves, and the student that did the article."
"I think everyone there recognized there's some tensions in the school and also amongst the community,” Al-Abbas’s mother Loretta Riggs told the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. “We recognize the need for further education and further dialogue. We were very happy that the school district acknowledged this. They're willing to hold such future dialogues."
So, arab students wear hateful tshirts and are told to take them off. They then come back with the headscarves that are even worst. The pricipal gets everyone together and now everyone is happy. Sure. They were definately trying to intimidate the Jewish kids. We need to keep muslims from coming to this country and deport the ones already here.
Muslim with suicide bomber vest arrested in secular, moderate Kosovo, where there is no jihad
The arrested Albanian wore a suicide vest loaded with explosives.
He was arrested in the cafe called Kvatro around 8:00 pm today. Police and NATO troops have surrounded the perimeter and are investigating.
The arrest came after a cafe patron spotted that one of the three Albanians who just walked into the cafe had wires under his jacket.
The police was immediately called in and after a search, the police found explosive in a suicide vest on the body of Arben Husi, one of the 3 ethnic Albanians who came into the cafe.
In addition to the explosives, the police found a grenade and a Kalashnikov....
I remember the good old days when the Serbs had the muslim issue under control. They realized that the only peaceful muslim is one that is dead and they were working towards that goal. Then Bill Clinton needed a war to get Monica out of the picture. He got rid of Milosevich and they gave this Christian country to the muslims. The muslims are getting money and help from the Saudi's.
UK: Muslim preacher calls for people who get drunk to be flogged
Muslim preacher Anjem Choudary has called for people who get drunk to be flogged.The lawyer, who recently praised the Mumbai terror attacks, said anyone becoming intoxicated by alcohol should be given 40 lashes in public. He claimed alcohol was "the root of all evil".
The 41-year-old made the remarks on his website Islam4UK, which argues that Britain should become an Islamic state ruled by Sharia law....
He wrote: "Under Islam, all harmful intoxicants will be banned unequivocally, regardless of their classification or their profitability in retail marketing.
"The Final Messenger Muhammad condemned the manufacturing, transporting, retailing and consuming of alcoholic beverages over 1,400 years ago and equated it with being one of the roots of all evils.
"Islam additionally imposes 40 lashes in public for deliberate intoxication, followed by 80 lashes in public if repeated for a second time."
Mr Choudary argued that alcohol should be "removed from society".
He also wrote that everything would be "sound" and "put right" if Sharia law was introduced in the UK, adding: "Islam is undeniably the only real solution for Britain's problems."
It is not the only real solution, but it is going to be a reality if these idiots don't wake up and deport or jail people like this. Better yet someone needs to kill him. Let him be a martyr and go hang out with allah and Old Mo.
"Osama Bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe" gets $3,600 from European Court of Human Rights
"Qatada issued a 1995 fatwa or religious edict justifying the killing of converts from Islam, their wives and children in Algeria. In a 1999 sermon he called for the killing of Jews and praised attacks on Americans." Pay some more money, Eurodhimmis!Radical Muslim cleric Abu Qatada has been awarded 2,500 pounds (3,600 dollars) in compensation by the European Court of Human Rights. The court's judges ruled on Thursday that his detention without trial in the United Kingdom under anti-terrorism laws had breached his human rights.
After his arrest last year, he was subjected to a domestic curfew and then detained in London's Belmarsh high security prison.
On Wednesday, the upper house of the British parliament , sitting as Britain's highest court, unanimously ruled that Abu Qatada could be deported from the UK to his native Jordan where he faces jail for terrorism....
The 48-year-old cleric, once described by a judge as 'Osama Bin Laden's right-hand man in Europe' is still in London's Belmarsh prison. Britain's interior ministry has long campaigned for Qatada's deportation....
Rights groups Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch criticised the Brtitish ruling, saying there was a real risk that Qatada would be tortured.
Qatada was first arrested in the wake of Al-Qaeda's 9/11 attacks on the United States amid allegations that he was one of the most influential Islamist preachers in Europe.
The Jordanian father-of-five, whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Mohammed Othman, claimed asylum when he arrived in Britain in September 1993 on a forged passport.
Qatada issued a 1995 fatwa or religious edict justifying the killing of converts from Islam, their wives and children in Algeria.
In a 1999 sermon he called for the killing of Jews and praised attacks on Americans. The same year, Qatada was convicted in his absence of planning terrorist attacks in Jordan.
This guy just needs a good killing. Why are they keeping him in the UK?
