Feds Arrest Radical Muslim Cleric Trying to Sneak Into U.S.

(LA Times)- U.S. border authorities have arrested a controversial Muslim cleric who was deported from Canada to Tunisia three years ago and was caught earlier this month trying to sneak into California inside the trunk of a BMW, according to court documents.

Said Jaziri, the former Imam of a Muslim congregation in Montreal, was hidden inside a car driven by a San Diego-area man who was pulled over by U.S. Border Patrol agents near an Indian casino east of San Diego. Jaziri allegedly paid a Tijuana-based smuggling group $5,000 to get him across the border near Tecate, saying he wanted to be taken to a “safe place anywhere in the U.S.”

The arrest marks the unexpected resurfacing of the 43-year-old cleric, whose protracted legal battle to avoid deportation drew headlines in Canada. A Tunisian immigrant, Jaziri was deported for failing to disclose a criminal conviction in France while applying for refugee status in the mid-1990s.

But Jaziri’s supporters said he was targeted for his fundamentalist views: Jaziri backed Sharia law for Canadian Muslims and led protests over the publication of the prophet Muhammad cartoons in a Danish newspaper in 2006.

I'm glad that all the people sneaking across the border are just coming here for jobs.

Not jobs, medical care and food.  Der.   :thatsright:

I am sure glad that Gov. Perry put Border Security on the list of emergency items for this legislative session.   :sarcasm:

Controversial Muslim cleric caught being smuggled into U.S. over Mexico border

By Daily Mail Reporter
Last updated at 1:04 PM on 28th January 2011



U.S. border guards got a surprise when they searched a Mexican BMW and found a hardline Muslim cleric - banned from France and Canada - curled up in the boot.

Said Jaziri, who called for the death of a Danish cartoonist that drew pictures of the prophet Mohammed, was being smuggled into California when he was arrested, along with his driver Kenneth Robert Lawler.

The 43-year-old was deported from Canada to his homeland Tunisia in 2007 after it emerged he had lied on his refugee application about having served jail time in France.

His fire and brimstone sermons and rabble-rousing antics catapulted him into the public eye during his short tenure as imam at a Montreal mosque.
He branded homosexuality a disease and led protests over cartoonist Kurt Westergaard's illustrations poked fun at Islam and were published in a Danish newspaper in 2006.[/quote]

Interesting.  Trying to hide in plain sight.  Not a stupid move, IMO.

Indeed. With the Mexican border as bad as it is, there's no telling what sort of scum have slipped through.

But hey, the Cold War is over and the Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore, so there are no more threats to America, right? We don't need border security, anyone who wants in should get in, and anyone who wants border security or believes there are threats to America is just a far-Right, neo-Nazi, flag-waving racist.

So, what's Mr. Lawler's DU name?
