Italy expels Moroccan-born cleric

[razrif]

From the good old BBC,2 days ago:
The Italian authorities have expelled a Moroccan-born Muslim cleric under new anti-terror laws enacted in July.

Bouriqi Bouchta was detained by security officials during an overnight raid on his Turin apartment before being placed on a flight to Morocco.

Mr Bouchta has been accused of praising Osama Bin Laden and the Italian government described him as "a danger to national security".

The 40-year-old preacher has denied the accusations.

"They came at three or four in the morning and took him away. He didn't do anything," said Mr Bouchta's teenage son, who asked not to be named. Mr Bouchta had been resident in Italy since the early 1990s.

The Italian Interior Ministry said it was also considering taking similar measures in other cases.

There are hundreds of Muslim clerics in Italy, I am sure they didn't single him out for no reason.

I know Bouchta ...and even though I do not agree with the big mouthes self claimed imams , who are only good in speaking bull$hit ...I am pretty sure that the italians move only to please theire masters the americans ....besides the italians are so emotionals that they can jail anybody for no reason , look what happened after sept 11 when they started jailing people just because they thaught that they had bad thaugths in theire minds or because they were arabs with a map in theire hands , the italian police were good in making up accusations that turned out to be all fake but in the main time were good to be broadcasted for the evenings news and to please the americans and show them that the italian authorities are doing something....why would Italy care about the islamic terrorism anyways knowing that anywhere southern than Florence is a no man's land controlled by the Mafia ..there are 3 states in Italy , the italian state , the vatican and the mafia , ...the big cities are being more and more controlled by the mafia ...go ask anyone who has a business how much they do pay monthly for having the protection of the Mafia ....
