A taxpayer-funded haven for terrorists

Andrew Bolt,Herald Sun (Australia)
"How could Britain have been so lethally stupid:

According to files obtained by Britain’s Daily Telegraph, a mosque in north London served as a “haven” for Islamic extremists as the capital became a hub in the worldwide movement of militants.

The files called the Finsbury Park mosque “an attack planning and propaganda production base”.

Abu Qatada and Abu Hamza, two preachers at the mosque who lived off state benefits after claiming asylum, sent dozens of extremists to train and fight in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

At least 35 detainees at Guantanamo were captured while fighting against allied forces in Afghanistan having arrived there via British mosques.

Of these, 17 were British nationals or citizens who had been given residence after claiming asylum with the rest coming from abroad."
