Italy expels Turin imam deemed threat to public security

Italy expelled a Turin imam to his native Morocco Wednesday after his sermons were secretly filmed and his views were deemed a threat to public security, officials said.

Mohamed Kohaila, who had been living in Italy for years, was deported in the evening, according to the Interior Ministry.

The ministry said local and national anti-terrorism authorities determined that Kohaila was inciting "violently anti-Western behavior" and maintained relations with extremists close to militant jihadists.

Kohaila was a close aide to another Moroccan-born imam in Turin, Bourki Bouchta, who was deemed an extremist and expelled from Italy in 2005, police in the northern Italian city said.

He should apply for asylum in Britain. They’d welcome him.

"....his sermons were secretly filmed and his views were deemed a threat to public security..."

Liberal trash and their conspiracy theorist allies would protect his butt from such treatment in the US. He'd probably end up as a keynote speaker at the democrap national convention.

Well...bully for the Italians. Starting to wake up and smell the coffee.

We need to do the same in the US.
