FIVE hundred radical Muslim extremists are to be deported by the government, the News of the World can reveal.
Immigration officials have already been given a list of names —compiled by MI5—and told to begin proceedings.
The first could be sent back to their homeland over the next two weeks.
Among the first to be deported will be a DOZEN radical clerics. But hundreds of other foreign extremists, including some Islamic bookshop owners, writers, teachers and website operators will also go.
Home Secretary Charles Clarke will begin the process when he returns from holiday this week. He will issue deportation orders and the people will be forcibly booted out. They will then be able to appeal—from abroad.
All 500 have been taken from a "watch list" of extremists compiled over the past five years by the Intelligence Service. Their identities are being kept secret so that they will not be able to go into hiding or mount a legal challenge.
Officials at both the Home Office and the Foreign Office revealed an "initial wave" of up to 100 people will be booted out in the next month.
Another 100 foreign nationals will then be sent home by the end of the year. And 300 more will be sent home next year once the government has new laws in place to strip them of their British citizenship and force them back to the countries of their birth.
Over the next week agreements will be completed with ten African and Middle Eastern countries to make sure they will accept the extremists. The government has already signed a "memorandum of understanding" with Jordan.
Similar agreements will be made with nine other countries including Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Kenya and Lebanon. The government is also trying to do a deal with Saudi Arabia.
News of the massive crackdown follows PM Tony Blair's announcement on Friday of a purge on terrorists and extremists. A senior Home Office official said: "Just as the police operation over the past four weeks has been dynamic and fast-paced, so will our response."
The News of the World can also reveal Parliament WILL be recalled. MPs will be ordered to cut their holidays and be back in Westminster in five weeks. On September 12 the new Anti-Terrorism Bill will be presented to Parliament.
One prominent Muslim cleric yesterday caused outrage by comparing the crackdown on extremists to Adolf Hitler's demonisation of the Jews in pre-war Germany.
Dr Mohammed Naseem, chairman of the Birmingham Mosque, said: "He (Hitler) started a process of elimination of Jewish people. I see the similarities."
ANTI-TERROR cops are continuing to probe a haul of fake passports handed to them by the News of the World last week.
GIRL In The Mask bomb victim Davinia Turrell showed her defiance of the terrorists who tried to kill her, bravely using public transport in London again.
Davinia, famously pictured with her face covered after it was burned in the 7/7 attack on Edgware Road Tube, queued for a bus near her home in London's Docklands. The 24-year-old law graduate is being supported by family and friends as she tries to come to terms with what happened and rebuild her life.
And she knows the one thing she must not do is change it just because of the fanatics' evil intent.
Her only concession was to wear a floppy hat to hide the injuries to her face.
A family friend said: "Davinia is a very strong-willed woman. Her greatest fear was travelling by public transport again but she has summoned this great courage."

Not me. They'll just join the other between 11-20 mil who are already here.
No need to go to England. You can see just the same amount of muslims in the States.
Kill them, then deport them. Send them home wrapped in pig skin.
Massive litigation (legal roadblocks) will prevent any meaningful deprtations. This is an unfortunate truth.
I hope it works, but I suspect some publicity hound of a judge will put a stop to it somehow.
"The first could be sent back to their homeland over the next two weeks......
They will then be able to appeal—from abroad."
If this turns out to be the case, we could take some lessons from them.
In another thread, I bemoaned the logic of putting these people in another pot. All you do is spoil that batch, and delay fighting them to another day.
These people want the end of Western ways and our economies and politics, and we not only say they can live in our midst, on the dole many times, but also poison others with their words and actions, and no one is man enough to do what is necessary? Where is the logic in helping your enemy kill you?
Dump their sorry asses in Antarctica. they won't get frisky there..
Most of them have claimed asylum in the UK because they are wanted by their home countries. Being deported home is not going to be a picnic and they won't be roaming the streets.
"Dump their sorry asses in Antarctica. they won't get frisky there."
We can have "Terrorist on a Stick" ! >:-)
Kick them out and make them understand that this is their only chance at maintaining life. Make absolutely sure that they understand that if they return as illegals they will simply disappear. I guess they could just make them disappear now and skip a step or two. I defiantly wouldn't miss them.
Before the deportations are finished many thousands should being given the boot, but the most dangerous should be locked up, not dumped on another nations so they can carry out their murderous methods of Muslim related terror.
