France Kicks Out Extremist Muslim Clerics

France had the right idea three years ago, expelling an extremist Muslim cleric for advocating wife beating, stoning and other medieval Islamic views, although I would ask, "Why not all extremist Muslims and why not all Muslim clerics?" France has the largest Muslim population on the Continent and so rightly is less tolerant than many other countries in Europe in allowing radicals to spread their primitive and barbaric sermons in their mosques.
Abdelkader Bouziane was the fifth cleric expelled from France in the first few months of 2004 on charges of spreading a dangerously divisive brand of radical Islam (as if there were such a thing as a non-dangerous brand of radical Islam!). The country's kicked out dozens since 2001. It should also be noted that the Imam has more than a dozen and a half children with two wives ensuring that France will eventually have to defuse 18 improvised explosive devices as children are called in Islam.
The modern world is facing a crisis as it struggles to curb the spread of extremist Islamic thought and yet protect the civil liberties of its citizens. Sadly, it is a balancing act doomed to failure. Long ago, civilized society realized that it cannot grant the same rights to convicted criminals as it does to its law-abiding members. No sane, civilized person would object to banishing the sociopath from his country and should find no moral objection to doing likewise with members of the Islamic faith and for the same reasons.
Yes, I compare the faithful followers of Islam to sociopaths; tell me, do you see any difference between the two? Here is the profile of the sociopath:
- Contemptuous of those who seek to understand them
- Does not perceive that anything is wrong with them
- Authoritarian
- Secretive
- Paranoid
- Only rarely in difficulty with the law, but seeks out situations where their tyrannical behavior will be tolerated, condoned, or admired
- Conventional appearance - pretend they are just like anyone else - the bombers in London were just regular blokes with good jobs, born and bred in Britain
- Goal of enslavement of their victim(s)
- Exercises despotic control over every aspect of the victim's life
- Has an emotional need to justify their crimes and therefore needs their victim's affirmation (respect, gratitude and love)
- Ultimate goal is the creation of a willing victim
- Incapable of real human attachment to another
- Unable to feel remorse or guilt
- Extreme narcissism and grandiose
- May state readily that their goal is to rule the world
Please understand that I am not asking for violence against Muslims. It would be immoral to hurt, punish, or damage the property of any Muslim living here. But I say the same thing about the genetically incorrigible paedophile. I would not want vigilante justice against him, yet I do not want him in my neighborhood. Not because he has committed any crime recently, but because his nature is wired to future criminal behaviour. As long as one is committed to the Islamic faith, one is wired for crimes against modern civilization. Only an idiot shmoo would willingly wait for the Muslim to commit honor crimes, vaginal mutilation, or institute Shariah law. But that seems to be what we mostly have in Congress: shmoos.

Imam who praised bombers deportedFrance has expelled an Algerian fundamentalist imam who invited his congregation to "rejoice in the Madrid bombings".
Yahia Cherif, who preached in Brest, on the coast of Brittany, was deported to Algiers after being found guilty of "proselytism in favour of radical Islam" and "active relations with a national or international Islamic movement linked to organisations promoting terrorist acts".
Perhaps it is time we deported clerics both Christian and Muslim who give anti-American hate speeches. Considering that his church glorifies Africa, "the mother continent, the cradle of civilization" perhaps Reverend Wright would love it if we deported his ass there. The same should be done with all ministers who feel Africa [or any other place] is better than America.
