UK Muslim cleric Hamza arrested

CNN: UK Muslim cleric Hamza arrested

A man arrested in London on an U.S. extradition warrant and due in court later Thursday is reported to be controversial Muslim cleric Abu Hamza.

London's Metropolitan Police refused to confirm the detention, saying only that officers from the Extradition and International Assistance Unit arrested a "British citizen, aged 47" at about 3 a.m. Thursday following an American request for his extradition.

But police sources told The Associated Press that Hamza was the man arrested.

Hamza's lawyer said he was the man being held, saying she had spoken to him and he remained "calm."

First the wheelchair bound Yassin, now hook-handed Hamza. It's not a war on terror - it's a war on the disabled!

If so, why is he alive? Remember, this man is an Adolph Hitler type, totally deranged!

The dogma pouring from Britans Mosques has been becoming increasingly militant for some time. As I understand it a large portion of Britans Muslim population isnt even comfortable attending services at some.

IMHO, Wahabbism is the problem, not Islam.

I really hope that the American Prosecutors have got their paperwork right on this one.
This man needs to be removed from Society, apparently you have the evidence to lock him away for a few hundred years.
Don't give the lawyers a chance for him to walk because the papers were signed in the wrong colour ink.
Thank you for trying to rid our streets of some particularly nauseating filth.

I second that, sort of. It may be the root of all evil, but a LOT of Muslims slept like babies the night of Sept. 11th, 2001.

Not all were Wahabbis...

As for Abu Hamza, well it's about @#$%ing time.

If I didn't live in Canada, home of newly-implemented legal Sharia Law, I would severely chastise the British for allowing this man to breathe good clean English air for so long.

But since I do live in Canada, home of newly-implemented legal Sharia Law, pointing fingers at the British for allowing their country to harbor such scum would only make me look like a hypocrite...

Go America, hopefully some more true Canadians will come out of the woodwork, and take our rightful place on the world stage as your good friend and loyal ally.

A lot of us up here feel this way. We just have no control over our media anymore. A politically-correct police state, it is.

More Evil Cleric arrests, please...


Peace

I was just thinking, if you want to get really specific about the root of all evil, this is the guy you're looking for:

Oh Canada, glorious and Free.
We stand on guard, we stand on guard for thee.

Wow, has Canada changed since that was written. It's really too bad too.


I read an interview between some Canadian Rock Magazine and a member of and American metal band.

the Mag's interviewed asked the rocker if America was an imperialist country.

the rocker said: If we were, you guys would be our 51st State.

Kinda puts a different twist on it, no?

Braintrust, this is exactly where the US is heading if we don't get it stopped NOW! Thanks for sharing your first hand experience with us.

Did anyone see the pictures of this pig on tv this morning? He looks like the Middle Eastern version of Fat Bastard.

In case anyone thought I was being facetious when saying "newly-implemented legal Sharia Law", it's much worse than that.

It's true. Is this not completely horrifying?
