* Well, not yet. But with so many like-minded space-cadets in Tinseltown they might just be welcoming him with open arms. But what about ‘Dirty Harry’- (otherwise known as Queenie) his homosexual serf who wipes his ass in jail? Is he allowed to come along for the ride?
Abu Hamza loses bid to stop extradition to U.S.
Radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri lost a legal bid on Wednesday to block his extradition from Britain to the United States where he is accused of trying to set up an al Qaeda camp and faces other terrorism charges.

Hamza, who is serving a seven-year jail term in Britain for inciting his followers to murder non-believers, is accused by U.S. prosecutors of attempting to set up a terrorist training camp in Bly, Oregon, from 1999 to early 2000.
The Egyptian-born cleric, who applauded the September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001, also faces charges that he was involved in plotting the capture of 16 Western hostages in Yemen in 1998. Four of the hostages, three Britons and an Australian, were killed when Yemeni troops stormed the militants’ hide-out.
Lawyers for Hamza, a former nightclub bouncer who has a hook in place of a missing hand, told London’s High Court the U.S. extradition request should be rejected because it relied on evidence obtained by torture.
His lawyers argued that to send him to the United States would be “unjust and oppressive” because of the length of time since the dates to which the charges relate in 1999 and 2000.
One of Britain’s top judges, Igor Judge, dismissed his application to be allowed to challenge his extradition in the highest court, the House of Lords, presided over by the Law Lords.
Judge said the court had considered his application but took the view there was no point of law or of general importance to be addressed. “The 2003 Extradition Act must be applied and our extradition commitments honored,” he said.
Hamza still has the right to renew his application directly to the Law Lords for permission to appeal.
If he is extradited, Hamza faces a total of 11 charges in the United States and, if convicted, a maximum sentence of up to 100 years in prison.

The lefties will love this guy. Anyone with hooks for hands must be charismatic and if he’s anti-Western so much the better.

No doubt. It’s not far fetched to imagine lefties wearing Osama bin Laden t-shirts in the same way they wear Che Guevara t-shirts.
No – the bastard will get cemented into a jail cell. He can then rot whilst preaching to the roaches – well he can convert Pakis and raoches are significantly more intelligent so perhaps they will divert the roaches.
Hi Muslim scum – declare open war so that we dont have to respect our laws and we can terminate you with maximum prejudice. You deserve nothing more.
