Tel-Chai Nation

I said before, I didn't think much would come of the Tories' election, with or without the Liberal Democrats, and this doesn't give me much reason to revise my opinion (via Hot Air Headlines):

THE home secretary, Theresa May, is facing a stiff test of the Conservative party’s claims to oppose radical Islam after her officials chose to allow a misogynist Muslim preacher into Britain.

Zakir Naik, an Indian televangelist described as a “hate-monger” by moderate Muslims and one Tory MP, says western women make themselves “more susceptible to rape” by wearing revealing clothing.

Naik, who proselytises on Peace TV, a satellite television channel, is reported to have called for the execution of Muslims who change their faith, described Americans as “pigs” and said that “every Muslim should be a terrorist”.

In a recent lecture, he said he was “with” Osama Bin Laden over the attacks on “terrorist America”, adding that the 9/11 hijackings were an inside job by President George W Bush.

In opposition, David Cameron and other senior Tories led criticism of the Labour government for allowing radical preachers into Britain to stir up hatred on lecture tours. While in opposition, Cameron also campaigned to get Yusuf al-Qaradawi, an Egyptian radical, banned from Britain.

Cameron and May now face a political test over Naik, whose inflammatory comments have led some moderate Muslims to call him a “truth-twister”.

Yeah, right, that's just what they want him to do - twist the truth like a pretzel.

One well-placed insider said: “Zakir Naik is a nasty man who makes al-Qaradawi look like a participant at a teddy bears’ picnic. He shouldn’t be allowed into the country to stir up hatred.”

The Home Office indicated that it was not planning to ban Naik, however.

So there's little reason to be encouraged by Cameron's election to premiership. If they don't come out with any inspiring news, I don't see any reason to expect better from them. Thank goodness Italy's government, by contrast, thought wisely and revoked asylum for a jihadmonger named Abu Imad after almost making a grave mistake and giving it to him earlier (via Jihad Watch).
