Hate preacher Abu Qatada has moved into an £800,000 home funded by the taxpayer following his release from jail.
New neighbours of the cleric once described as Osama bin Laden’s right-hand in Europe said: “He could not be less welcome.”
One resident, who served in the Navy during the Gulf War, said: “The fact that he is in my country, let alone around my neighbourhood, makes me mad. We are losing men in Afghanistan and now this man is allowed to live here.”
Qatada arrived at the house in London on Tuesday after a court granted him bail.
He is wearing an electronic tag and has to stay indoors 22 hours a day.
His wife and five children are believed to have moved into the four-bedroom property a month ago.
It costs £576 per week to rent, paid for by housing benefits.
Houses on the quiet, residential street have sold for nearly £1million.
Qatada was released by the Special Immigration Appeals Commission after winning his fight against deportation to Jordan over “torture” fears there.
He has been convicted there, in his absence, over terror attacks.
He came to Britain on a false passport in 1993. He was seized in an armed raid on a south London council house in 2002.
Looks like lawyers and judges all over the world are trying to make us (not just the UK or the US, but the good guys in general) lose this one. I guess they figure they can always go ask the local one-eyed mullah for a job on the sharia court, just for old times’ sake.
A look at America under President Obama. The horror of Obama cannot be overstated, all you “I’m not voting as a protest” conservatives.
...and ya know how they are when they get upset.
And the fact that we were one Liberal Supreme Court Judge away from losing our 2nd Amendment Rights today!
We dodged the bullet on that one today, and they know full well once the 2nd amendment is done for, the 2nd Civil War is sure to begin.
WTF????
This crap is insane.
The British taxpayer is getting socked like $5,000 a month to rent this terrorist a mansion in London? Have they completely lost their minds over there?
When you vote for libs, it’s guaranteed they will steal your money, property and freedom, plus try to kill you. And they’ll step on your puppy and kitten.

One would wish it.
I haven’t been to London in ten years, but my British friends claim that it’s safer to go out in Paris than in London. There’s just less random violence in France, even in the zones. I’m not saying everything is hunky-dory here because I’ve seen some pretty nasty stuff in Paris, it’s just in London it’s really bad.
Also, the French would kick out QATADA with very little fanfare. Poof. He’s gone.
