Dressing the part

What a difference deportation makes. On the right is a picture of Sheik el-Faisal, the Islamofascist who was finally sent back to his native Jamaica last weekend after serving time in Britain. Here, he dressed in a Muslim skullcap and robe – but as soon as he stepped off the plane in his native Jamaica, he was down to tracksuit bottoms and a shirt. Why? Because his real name is Trevor Forrest, and people like him seldom get away with their mad mullah act in their native countries.
 
As Olivier Roy explains in his superb Globalised Islam, the jihadi menace is spread when crackpots like Forrest go abroad, don a skullcap and are treated with reverence they’d never achieve back home. Britain is an ideal home for these people, they are given maximum accommodation by the legal and education system. Face veils are banned from the classroom in Turkey: it’s a genuinely Muslim country and knows there’s nothing Islamic in the slightest about the niqab.
