Muslim cleric banned in Pakistan is preaching in UK mosques

A Pakistani Muslim cleric who celebrated the murder of a popular politician is in Britain on a speaking tour of mosques. The news has alarmed social cohesion experts who fear such tours are promoting divisions in the Muslim community.
Syed Muzaffar Shah Qadri has been banned from preaching in Pakistan because his sermons are considered too incendiary. However, he is due to visit a number of English mosques, in heavily promoted events where he is given star billing.
Qadri publicly praises Mumtaz Qadri who in 2011 murdered his employer, Salman Taseer, a popular Pakistani politician who spoke out against the country’s blasphemy laws. Qadri was executed earlier this year but to his tens of thousands of supporters he remains a hero who defended their interpretation of Islam.

First wave of Afghans expelled from EU states under contentious migration deal
Dozens of Afghans uprooted from Germany, Sweden and Norway as EU accord allowing deportation of Afghan asylum seekers comes into play
Asylum seekers expelled to Afghanistan from European countries including Germany, Norway and Sweden arrive at Kabul airportA
Thursday 15 December 2016 15.08 GMT
Dozens of asylum seekers were expelled from Europe to Afghanistan this week, the first to be affected by a controversial migration deal that allows the EU to deport unlimited numbers of rejected Afghan asylum seekers.
A plane carrying 34 Afghans from Germany touched down in Kabul before dawn on Thursday. On another, earlier in the week, 13 Afghans were forcibly returned from Sweden in a deportation that reportedly cost about $150,000 (£120,000). That flight also carried nine Afghan citizens from Norway.
EU signs deal to deport unlimited numbers of Afghan asylum seekers
For Matiullah Aziz, 22, the deportation ended a seven-year stay in Germany. It came without warning. Aziz said police came to the pizza parlour where he worked, told him to pack his things and detained him the same evening. A fluent German speaker, he carried certificates showing that, though not granted asylum, he had studied in the country for several years.
The chartered plane was meant to transport 50 asylum seekers, the maximum allowed on each flight according to the agreement, but 16 were removed from the flight list shortly before take-off, reportedly due to psychiatric issues and last-minute legal intervention.
On Wednesday, demonstrators gathered in Frankfurt airport and German politicians protested in parliament by brandishing placards demanding an end to the deportations.
The German government plans to deport roughly 12,500 Afghans. The next chartered flight to Kabul is believed to be scheduled for early January.
Norway has stepped up forced returns, with unaccompanied minors allegedly among those affected.
Imran Sakhel, who was deported this week after more than a year in Norway, said the authorities doubted the veracity of documents that state he is 17.

For European countries, deportations are partly an attempt to deter migrants. Nearly 200,000 Afghans applied for asylum in Europe last year, most in Germany and Sweden.
However, the men who landed in Kabul on Thursday were not recent arrivals to Europe. Everyone the Guardian spoke to had lived in Germany for at least four years. They now returned to a country that has become more dangerous since they left.
“I lived like a German. I had an apartment, I paid my taxes,” said Zabiullah Noori, 23. When he left his home in Kunduz six years ago, the city was peaceful. Since then, it has fallen twice to the Taliban. The highway there is beset by fighting and sporadic insurgent checkpoints.

“I’m very afraid. Look at my clothes,” Noori said. Like most of the returnees adjusting to Kabul in the early morning darkness, he would stand out as soon as he left the airport in his European attire of sneakers, skinny jeans and leather jacket.
“I don’t know how to get to Kunduz. If the Taliban stop the car and see my documents, they will cut off my head,” Noori said.
The returnees said German authorities had not given them financial assistance. In Kabul, the International Organisation for Migration gave them 1,500 Afghanis (£18) for onward travel, and offered temporary accommodation.
Afghanistan is already straining under the weight of close to a million people returned or deported from Pakistan and Iran this year, according to the UN. The deportations from Europe are likely to compound unemployment and the economic crisis. Most returning migrants simply leave again.
Young men who have spent half a decade or more in Europe, and perhaps lived in Iran or Pakistan before that, often have nothing to return to in Afghanistan, said Abdul Ghafoor, director of the Afghanistan Migrants Advice and Support Organisation.

“It is not safe for those who have been deported to go back to their provinces. Most of them don’t have families here,” he said.
Returning to Afghanistan “is a major shock to the system if you’re not cushioned by family”, said Liza Schuster, a Kabul-based migration expert.
“From what I’ve seen, about 80% leave within the first two years. The rest leave within the next five,” she said, adding that her research is based on samples. “The problem is, if they’re sent back against their will, they haven’t been able to put any support structure in place.”
“What’s lacking here is anything to anchor Afghans,” Schuster said. “So until the government creates the chance to get a good education and have some kind of future afterwards, not all, but a significant minority are simply waiting to go.”
As the sun rose over Kabul international airport, Noor Jan, 23, stepped outside to light a cigarette. Before the German police handcuffed him and took him to the airport, he had spent four years in Germany and, prior to that, four in Greece.
“You tell me, what I should do now,” he said.

Court battle: Jailed Royal Marine Sergeant Alexander Blackman has won the right to a fresh appeal - today he will learn if he'll be with his family for Christmas
Hundreds of supporters of 'Marine A' Alexander Blackman will swamp the Royal Courts of Justice today in the hope a judge orders his freedom before Christmas.
Former servicemen and members of the public have vowed 'to show Al he is not alone' at his crucial bail application.
The jailed Royal Marine will remain in his cell during the hearing, at which England's top judge will decide whether he deserves to be released pending his fresh appeal.
But his wife Claire, his team of lawyers funded by Daily Mail readers, and dozens of supporters are expected to pack the Lord Chief Justice's historic Court 4.
She has said she was 'trying hard not to get excited' about his possible release.
'We think we've got a really strong application for bail and we're hopeful, of course - it would be amazing, it would be fantastic, but one step at a time,' she said.
If Lord Thomas, sitting with Mr Justice Openshaw, accepts his bail arguments, he could be a free man as early as tonight.
Sgt Blackman has spent three years in HMP Erlestoke, in Wiltshire, for the shooting of a wounded Taliban fighter in Afghanistan in 2011.
His lawyer Jonathan Goldberg QC will say he is a 'man of integrity' who ought to be released, and will also highlight his acute 'debt of gratitude' to his backers - including Daily Mail readers - as among the reasons he would not abscond if released.
Four backers have offered to stand him £50,000 bail each to guarantee he will not flee justice, known as sureties.
They are thriller writer Frederick Forsyth, MP Richard Drax, former special forces chief Major General John Holmes, and former Marine John Davies, who said: 'Al won't be in court but an awful lot of his supporters we will be there to show him that he's not alone.
'We need to show Al that we will stand shoulder to shoulder with him right until the very end. This could have been any one of us.'
Former Royal Marine Commandos show their support by walking from Parliament Square to Downing Street in October 2015 - they are expected to return to court later today
Wedding day: Sgt Alexander Blackman with his wife Claire when they married - the family hope they'll be reunited today
If Sgt Blackman is freed on bail, Mr Davies has offered him a job, the court will hear.
Since leaving the Marines, owing to combat injuries, Mr Davies has set up a first aid and survival skills training company for professionals such as firefighters and medics, and Sgt Blackman is to be offered work there while he awaits his appeal next year.
Mr Goldberg will tell the court the former commando is keen to take a job and do something useful while awaiting his next day in court.
But his wife Claire, his team of lawyers funded by Daily Mail readers, and dozens of supporters are expected to pack the Lord Chief Justice's historic Court 4
The hearing starts at 2pm and will be presided over by Lord Thomas of Cwmgiedd, the most senior judge in England and Wales.
Sgt Blackman's lawyers will also submit a plea from his former commanding officer, hailing him as 'a normal citizen tainted only by the impact of war'.
Sgt Blackman, who was known at his court martial as Marine A, shot the Taliban insurgent who had been wounded during an attack on a British base in Afghanistan. He was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of ten years, later cut to eight.
Last week he was granted a fresh appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission which said there was 'a real possibility' his 2013 conviction would be quashed.
His lawyers believe he has a good chance of being granted release on bail pending the new appeal, which will not be heard until the summer or autumn.
Mr Goldberg QC will tell the court Sgt Blackman knows he owes it to his supporters not to abscond, if he was granted bail.
He said: 'Tens of thousands of ordinary people have contributed donations to the Justice for Sgt Blackman campaign organised by the Daily Mail which has paid the legal fees to prepare this fresh appeal.
'Thousands of former Royal Marines have peacefully held rallies and demonstrated in Parliament Square and Birmingham. He is a man of great integrity who acutely feels a duty and a debt of gratitude to them. He will follow due process meticulously.'

Mr Goldberg QC will tell the court Sgt Blackman knows he owes it to his supporters not to abscond, if he was granted bail.
He said: 'Tens of thousands of ordinary people have contributed donations to the Justice for Sgt Blackman campaign organised by the Daily Mail which has paid the legal fees to prepare this fresh appeal.
'Thousands of former Royal Marines have peacefully held rallies and demonstrated in Parliament Square and Birmingham. He is a man of great integrity who acutely feels a duty and a debt of gratitude to them. He will follow due process meticulously.'
