There are mounting concerns in
the UK about the planned release and deportation of a Jamaican born Muslim
cleric.
The cleric, Sheikh Abdullah-el-Faisal has
been linked to last year's bombings of London's transportation system.
It is believed that London bomber, Germaine Lindsay was
strongly influenced by Abdullah al-Faisal.
Giving the government's account of the bombings, British
home secretary, John Reid, said the Jamaican born Lindsay had listened to tapes
of lectures by the cleric.
It is also believed that Lindsay had attended at least
one of Abdullah el-Faisal's lectures.
The 42-year-old cleric, who was reportedly born in
Jamaica as Trevor William Forest, converted to Islam at age 16.
Despite denying the charges, he was jailed in February
2003 for nine years for soliciting murder, incitement to murder and incitement
to racial hatred.
It is also reported that Sheikh Abdullah el-Faisal
encouraged Muslims to attend training camps so they could wage jihad or holy war
on the West.
One British newspaper today reported that el-Faisal
encouraged the use of chemical weapons to exterminate non-believers and exhorted
Muslim women to buy toy guns for their children to train them for jihad.
El-Faisal's sentence was reduced to seven years after an
appeal.
He is now eligible for parole, having served more than
half his sentence.
The British Home Office says he will be deported to
Jamaica later this year, barring a successful appeal against the decision.
However, the planned deportation has angered some
British lawmakers who fear he will continue to disseminate his views
particularly through the Internet.
The British lawmakers say they are not convinced that
enough restrictions will be in place to prevent him from spreading what they
describe as his message of hate over the Internet.
Meanwhile, National Security Minister, Dr. Peter
Phillips says the Government will be moving to confirm Sheikh
Abdullah-el-Faisal's nationality.
Speaking with RJR News Sunday afternoon, Dr. Phillips
said he was not aware of the details of the development but would be moving to
get the necessary information.
The National Security Minister also expressed confidence
in the ability of local security personnel to monitor extremists.
