PARMA, Ohio (AP) -- The former imam of Ohio's largest mosque became a man without a country after being convicted of concealing his ties to terrorist groups. Fawaz Damra was rejected by 72 countries and left with no choice but to be deported to his native West Bank, leading to his arrest by Israeli authorities on Jan. 4. The arrest has angered Muslim leaders in Ohio, some of whom complained that he was double-crossed by U.S. immigration officials... Damra, 46, a Palestinian from the West Bank city of Nablus,.. Less than a month after 9/11, footage from a 1991 speech aired on local television showing him raising money for a Palestinian holy war and saying Muslims should be "directing all the rifles at the first and last enemy of the Islamic nation and that is the sons of monkeys and pigs, the Jews." Stripped of his U.S. citizenship and facing deportation, Damra struck a deal with federal authorities to leave the country, said his attorney, Mo Abdrabboh. ...But even Jordan, where he holds citizenship, refused him. After his time to find a country willing to accept him elapsed, he was taken into custody in November 2005, then spent a year in a Michigan jail. Then he was arrested when he was presented to Israeli immigration officials for admission to the West Bank. Haider Alawan, a friend of Damra's and a member of the Parma-based Islamic Center's council of elders, is one of many Muslims angry with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement... "There's no end to what they can do," Mr. Alawan said. "They take you, hold you and extradite you to wherever they want. It's un-American."

Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Muslims lie. It's a badge of honor to deceive the infidels.
They wouldn't recognise justice or injustice if it hit them over the head. They have no concept of what it really is. They just know revenge and retaliation.
Islam is a cancer ... a plague that needs to be removed. Sure there are good people who are Muslim. Unfortunately they are infected with a vile disease.
"Muslims see injustice"
So what else is new?
There is no end to what these terrorists preach or incite against us...and when we kick their butts, they scream that they are victims.
All we want in the USA is to be left in peace. We wantinnocent people to be free from jihadi death threats. If they will just quit the crap, get an honest job, maybe we wouldn't deport them. But I want every last one of them out of this country if they cannot live here in peace.
Wow - it's bad when too radical for 72 nations...
...everywhere, except for the real injustice perpetrated by themselves.
Muslims see injustice???? Did someone finally buy the things a mirror?
The Israelis will know what to do with him! Buh Bye terrorist!
So is your client.
I agree with you. Islam is a cancer that will destroy the world if we let it. If the Islamofascists win, a new Dark Ages will descend on Earth. We need to destroy Islam before it destroys us.
There..fixed it.
And unfortunately, when the chips are down, even the "nice" ones side with the terrorists and those who want to destroy our country. I would like to see a poll of the ones living in America asking them if they would like to live under Sharia law instead of the Constitution. I would be willing to be they would vote overwhelmingly for Sharia. At which point they should all be made to leave.
Why can't they be more like Asians in America? ..........
Hey 70+ countries wouldn't take this piece of human debris.
Most countries are smarter than us when it comes to keeping out undesirables.
