Poetic justice for Omar Bakri
The Islamist-terrorist imam, formerly of Edmonton, North London, had praised “the 19 magnificent terrorists of 9/11,” and said this about leaving Britain for exile in Lebanon: “When I left England I bought a one-way ticket out. I never want to see the place again.”
Now the radical imam, who faces terrorism charges if he sets foot in England, wants to go back to England because Lebanon is a bit too hot for his liking. The British government won’t take him back, which is good. Poetic justice for a terrorist to be terrorized.
However, Omar Bakri’s story reveals other depths about this oily and depraved man. Take his stated rationale for wanting to return to England. He says this: “The current situation in Beirut left me without any choice but to appeal to you to grant me a visit visa to see my children for one month.”
Touching, isn’t it? He cares about the children. But we recall a different Omar Bakri, one who said that kidnapping and holding children hostage was a fine thing. He said about Beslan, that, under certain circumstances, if a “Muslim carried out an attack like that in Britain, it would be justified because Britain has carried out acts of terrorism.”
