Yesterday I wrote a Diary about an Italian Imam who advocated killing all the Jews. You can see the you-tube of these hateful remarks in my Diary--link below:

I also expressed the recomendation that this individual be deported from Italy. Today we read that Italian authorities have indeed ordered his deportation. Great news as far as I am concerned.

Raoudi Albdelbar, an imam from San Dona di Piave near Venice, was accused of creating a serious disturbance to public order, threatening national security and promoting religious discrimination, the ministry said in a statement.
"It is unacceptable for a sermon to be delivered that is clearly antisemitic in character, with explicit incitements to violence and religious hatred," Interior Minister Angelino Alfano said in the statement.
In additon to being anti-semetic the radical islamists are anti-Christian, homophobic, misogynistic and want to force sharia law on other Muslims.
In my opinion the best way for western countries to address the threat from the radical islamists is not by sending our military troops into their countries, but rather to legally prevent visa entry of such individuals into our own countries. As in: why allow individuals into our country who are intolerant and hate us and our way of life? Deporting this individual is a good step.
