Perhaps because he's British, born in England. Where do you suggest that your government deports British citizens to?
Somewhere more suited to their particular needs?unrepentant said:
Really? He's British though. If someone is British and born in Britain surely they are allowed to campaign (democratically) to change that country? A lot of folks on PH want to campaign to leave the EU or bring back hanging, this guy wants Sharia Law. Now you can disagree with his aim of bringing Sharia Law (as I would) but you have to respect his right to campaign for it.
I suspect his motivations go well beyond sharia law (which is already present in some uk mediation). Leaving the EU or reintroducing capital punishment fall into an entirely different category of motivation to that which he would have imposed on the people of the UK.

Western democracy will eventually win. Fundamentalism of any sort is hard work. The overwhelming majority of people just want to live a quiet, law abiding life. All this running around, trying to take over the world is futile.
Theocracies don't make the goods or provide the services that ordinary folk crave. There's no long term future for these blood soaked murderers. They are already turning in on themselves.

There are 1,500 British passport holders willing to fight for ISIS now, and thousands more sympathisers and that is with Muslims making up only 4.4% of the UK population. What will the situation be if Muslims make up 10% of the UK population or 15%?
Yet we keep continuing with the same policies as if merely being in a country like the UK makes someone a believer in western, liberal, democracy.
Our own liberty from religious fanaticism was hard fought and bloody, yet we are sleep walking into the next confrontation.

Compromise - both sides equally unhappy.

Not complacency. History.
There is no inevitability about the triumph of western democracy throughout much of the world.It was only the Red Army that stopped most of Europe, excluding us, from being ruled over by the Nazis.
To just sit back and think everyone will recognise the "superiority" of our way of life is both arrogant and complacent.
