How Many "Hate Preachers" Expelled?

London's Sun newspaper counted which European governments have forcibly expelled Islamist imams. George Pascoe-Watson found that Germany topped the list, having thrown out at least twenty of them. Spain, Italy and France each deported four. Holland three. And the United Kingdom zero. (Omar Bakri Mohammed does not count; he left Britain of his own accord and was merely banned from returning.)

Comments: (1) From what I can tell, the United States and Canada also have zero expulsions to their credit. (2) If governments are serious about "Islamists, get out," the logical place to start is with the radical imams. (December 29, 2005)
