Muslim holy man.

If ever there were a guy any country would want to see hustled back on the plane it would have to be Sheik Riyadh ul-Haq. He's a former Muslim cleric of Central Mosque, one of Britain's biggest mosques. We say "former" on account of his termination therefrom.

David Oulette, director of the Canadian Coalition for Democracies (CCD), called for Sheik ul-Haq to be denied entry to Canada, stating:

The problem is that this sheik has a history of radical discourses that incite hatred toward non-Muslims, speaking of plots by non-Muslims against Islam and the Muslim world in general [and] glorifying martyrdom in the way of Allah, which could be interpreted as an incitation to violence,

Our source reports further that:

Mr. Haq is expected to speak about the importance of prayer, children's education and family relations.

Oh, I bet. That's what imams fly over from Britain to talk about.

Family.

Where is Sam Kinnison when you need him to intone his famous, "Surrrrrrre!!"

Yes. This guy is Zig Ziglar in a dress. He's big, we tell you. BIG. Big, big, big, big, big, big, big on those family relations. He will, in point of fact, be coming over to pass on his familial insights after being involved in a sex scandal that involved a drive by murder in Britain. We're talking credentials here.

Also, contrary to the laws of Britain, he secretly married a second wife.

This man knows family like we know IHOP griddle cakes.

News of the British authorities' prosecution of the imam for bigamy has not reached us by this afternoon's post, Dear Readers. We're sure that they're pursuing him like Alabama coon dogs after a free range chicken.

There is no fear or favor in Britain where it comes to standing up to the Muslims who think their religion is a law unto itself. No there isn't.

And don't you just have to appreciate what the sheik's violation of the criminal laws of Britain tells you about his willingness to live under those laws.

Lesson learned: where Muslim Holy Men are concerned watch for secret behavior out of sight of the police and the public.
