UK Set To Begin Deportations of Jihadist Imams

'Bout bloody time:

Britain was preparing to round up a clutch of Islamists for deportation as its crackdown on "unacceptable behaviour" kicks in, newspapers said on Sunday. Britain’s interior minister announced on Wednesday his intention to bar or throw out foreigners who "foment, justify or glorify terrorist violence", in response to the London terror bombings which killed 56 people in July.

Home Secretary Charles Clarke unveiled a string of "unacceptable behaviours" and said he would use his powers to deport and exclude foreigners engaging in any of the numerous activities listed.

The Sunday Times said the internal security service MI5 had drawn up a list of 50 "preachers of hate" who face expulsion under the new rules. The weekly said MI5 had passed on to the government its list of extremists considered to pose a threat.

This gentleman seems to have gotten the message:

The Sunday Times understood the list to include London-based Saudi dissidents Mohammad Al Masari and Saad Al Faqih, plus Egyptian dissident Yasser Al Siri. Masari hastily shut down parts of his controversial website on Saturday, blaming the clampdown for the closure. His Internet site featured videos of beheadings and suicide bombings in Israel and Iraq.

The left is fond of quoting (as is most everybody) the aphorism that all it takes for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing.

The trouble with the left, of course, is that it is so busy justifying evil -- defending it, "contextualizing" it, blaming the evil not on the evildoers themselves but on "root causes" and "western imperialism," falling over themselves to "understand" those who have sworn themselves to nearly demonic violence -- that they consistently do nothing in the face of evil.

And then have the gall to call themselves superior to the good men actually standing up to evil.
