   Wouldn't playing an "active role" in a terrorist-related organization   
   constitute a crime that he could be convicted and imprisoned for?  If   
   he really is a threat then it would be better to lock him up than to   
   deport him to some crackpot izlamoid country where he will continue to   
   plot and scheme against the infidel British.

   The problem is that letting him live in Britain constitutes a sort of   
   torture, a nanny state with rotten food and surveillance cameras that   
   watch you go poo.
