I understand that the ‘imam’ who planned the destruction of the Sagrada Familia and built a 12-strong terrorist cell of indoctrinated youths who murdered 15 people and injured 150 others, was a convicted drug smuggler with properties in both Morocco and Spain; whom Spanish judges refused to deport after his prison sentence on the grounds of his ‘human rights’; then successfully claimed asylum, gaining access to free movement around Europe, which he used to liaise with terror cells in Belgium and elsewhere before he accidentally blew himself up and his death-eaters went on their final rampage.
Apparently he was ‘unfailingly courteous’ and so ‘evaded scrutiny’ – though how one evades scrutiny while being a convicted drug smuggler and applying for asylum while regularly visiting the country one is supposed to be escaping from, is hard to fathom. Let alone when one has been recorded as having links to jihadi bombers both inside and outside prison. But hey, he was clearly a reformed character, having renounced his previous life of crime and become an ‘imam’. Nothing to worry about there.
The Muslim community in the town he visited in Belgium actually flagged him to the Belgian authorities, and one mosque refused to employ him; but he was not regarded as a risk. Small wonder that the Chief Rabbi in Barcelona is advising Jews to leave
Europe.
Most of the story above is of authorities struggling and failing in the unequal task of trying to detect every needle in every haystack. We should not condemn them for it.
The thing that stands out most starkly is that a convicted drug smuggler from a country which is not at war, can claim asylum in Europe and escape deportation back to a country he visits regularly, on the grounds that it would breach the EU’s idea of his ‘human rights’.
This is the fault of stupid people in Europe – politicians, activists, lawyers and judges – who are bent on destroying us all in the name of ‘progressive’ politics.
That's one reason why Britain needs to get out of the E.U.
