Wouldn't playing an "active role" in a terrorist-related organization
constitute a crime that he could be convicted and imprisoned for? If
he really is a threat then it would be better to lock him up than to
de****t him to some crackpot izlamoid country where he will continue to
plot and scheme against the infidel British.

The problem is that letting him live in Britain constitutes a sort of
torture, a nanny state with rotten food and surveillance cameras that
watch you go poo.
