France and Italy Deport Extremists Amid Security Concerns

[Social Media]

 

France and Italy have recently made headlines by expelling individuals linked to Islamic extremism, demonstrating a firm stance on national security. Italy deported Zulfiqar Khan, a Pakistani imam accused of supporting jihadist ideologies and the Hamas terror group. France, meanwhile, ordered the expulsion of Omar Binladin, the eldest son of Osama bin Laden, following concerns about his online comments.

 

Zulfiqar Khan, who had been serving as an imam at a mosque in Bologna, Italy, was accused of promoting extremist views. The Italian Interior Ministry issued an order for his expulsion, which is now pending confirmation through a hearing.

 

Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini welcomed the move, saying, “We have finally sent him home.” Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi stated that Khan showed “growing ideological fanaticism” and demonstrated a “propensity toward radical positions,” particularly anti-Western and antisemitic rhetoric. In addition, Khan reportedly made anti-gay and anti-feminist remarks. Maurizio Gasparri, a member of Forza Italia, part of the governing coalition, praised the decision, emphasizing that Italy must act to prevent terrorism. He stated, “For preachers of hatred and antisemitism, there is no place in our country.”

 

At the same time, France has expelled Omar Binladin, Osama bin Laden’s eldest son. Although Omar had distanced himself from his father’s violent past, a social media post in 2023—on the anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death—sparked outrage. In the post, Omar allegedly referred to his father as a “martyr” and “nation builder.”

 

These comments alarmed French authorities, and Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau issued an entry ban on Omar Binladin, citing national security concerns. Despite Omar’s claims that he was not the author of the post, French authorities upheld the decision, and he has since moved to Qatar. Retailleau emphasized in a statement that the courts had confirmed the decision to expel Omar Binladin in the interest of national security, adding that Binladin is now banned from reentering France.

 

Both Italy and France’s actions reflect their governments' efforts to counter extremism and protect national security, ensuring that individuals with radical beliefs are not given a platform to influence society.

Hope the UK follow suit, but then again with this present government they'd probably give them a knighthood.🙄

No chance. 

 

The only 'suits' would be the gifts in Starmer's wardrobe.

A knighthood would require a much larger donation to Free Gear Keir. Arsenal tickets, Swift tickets, free use of 18 million pound houses wouldn't cut it for a knighthood. Starmer has standards, don't you know...

Sadly the last government let them all in. 
Cat is out of the bag now.
