Why can't they deport people like this???

This is major failure of the western democracies...

A Muslim terror suspect -living in the UK has publicly praised the insurgents who are battling British forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Hani al-Sibai claimed that Islamic fighters were humiliating Western forces, adding: "In the battlefield, they are the masters."

Al-Sibai has lived in Britain since 1994, after fleeing his homeland of Egypt where he has been convicted by a military court in his absence of plotting terrorist attacks. Tony Blair, the former Prime Minister, once described the failure to remove him from the country as "not good enough".

The 46-year-old radical was refused asylum nine years ago after British security chiefs concluded he was a senior member of the terrorist group Egyptian Islamic Jihad, an allegation he denies. He has, however, been granted temporary permission to live in the UK while officials consider his latest claim for asylum.

While he waits, al-Sibai continues to speak out against the West. In a debate on al-Jazeera television last month, he declared: "There are no real men except for the people of Islam. Look at the people who give reason to hold the head of Islam high.

"In politics they are the masters. In the battlefield they are the masters. They are the ones who rub in the mud the nose of the occupation forces in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Palestine, throughout the world."

He also contrasted Islamic extremists with pro-Western secular leaders in the Middle East, who, he said, "should be placed in public squares so that people can hit them with their shoes and spit on them".
