France expels controversial imam

PARIS, Sept 7, 2006 (AFP) - A controversial imam with a conviction for supporting terrorism was deported by France to Algeria Thursday, the interior ministry said.

Chelali Benchellali, 61, a former preacher at a mosque in the suburbs of Lyon, was put on board a flight to Algiers from Orly airport in Paris.

Benchellali was given a six-month jail term in June for his role in an underground network that was found guilty of plotting to bomb targets in Paris.

He was not imprisoned as he had already served the time in pre-trial detention.

Two of Benchellali's sons, Menad and Hafed, were also given jail terms in the June trial.

A third son, Mourad, was one of six French nationals imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay and returned by the US to France. At their trial in July the prosecutor asked for a one-year jail term for Mourad. A verdict in that trial is due later this month.

Expulsion is a bandaid. Decapitation is the cure.

One thing about the French: Once they make up their mind about someone, they won't let any "civil liberties" issues stop them from deporting his a&&.

Now, if he were let off the plane at 25,000 feet (sans chute) that would be REAL progress.

The French need to unleash their bestiality and bring back the good ol' Guillotine days.

Nah, they save their worst behavior for their friends, the one's who always end up bailing them out, like America.

Think we're gonna be "busy" the next time they need us.

"...deported by France to Algeria..." where he can SAFELY run his jihadist operations with assistance from the Algerian slum dwellers in France. Smart.

>"A controversial imam with a conviction for supporting terrorism"

Uh.... the koranus.... their commandments from satanallah through muuhamhead (Pigs be inseminating her)... IS the reason for terrorism!

Untill the koranus is banished, Terrorislam will continue!

" A controversial imam ......"

Shouldn't that just read "Enemy of the State..." ?
