Hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza and four other Muslim fanatics will be sent to the U.S. to face trial after they today lost their appeals against extradition.

Judges in Strasbourg dramatically ruled this morning that Hamza must be extradited to the U.S. where he could face the rest of his life behind bars.

Four other fanatics also lost their appeals against extradition. The ruling stated that the five men would not be subject to 'ill-treatment' in the U.S.

The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg rejected the men's claims that their human rights would be breached by leaving the UK.

The men had complained that prison conditions and jail terms which would expose them to 'torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment' in breach of the European human rights code.

Prime Minister David Cameron said he was 'very pleased' that Hamza's extradition to the US can go ahead following today's ruling.

Speaking during a trade mission to South East Asia, Mr Cameron said: 'I am very pleased with the news.

'It is quite right that we have proper legal processes, although sometimes one can get frustrated with how long they take.

'I think it is very important that the deportation and expulsion arrangements (work) promptly and properly, particularly when people are accused of very serious crimes.'

Home Secretary Theresa May said the Government 'will work to ensure that the suspects are handed over to the US authorities as quickly as possible'.

So we've got them. Now if only we had a real man as president instead of the pretender.

They'll have it better at Gitmo than in any other Muslim country.

Tie his left hand to his back. I want to see him wipe his butt with that hook.

A hate preacher walks into a bar and the bartender says, “I haven’t seen you in a while. You don't look so good.”

“What do you mean?” the hate preacher says, “I’m fine.”

The bartender says, “But what about that wooden leg? You didn’t have that before.”

“Well,” says the hate preacher, “We were in a battle with the infidels and a cannon ball took my leg.”

“Oh, too bad,” says the bartender, “But what about that hook? The last time I saw you, you had both hands.”

“Well,” says the hate preacher, “We were in another battle with the infidels and my hand was cut off in a sword fight.”

“Oh,” says the bartender, “What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes.”

“Well,” says the hate preacher, “One day some birds were flying over the mosque. I looked up, and one of them shit in my eye.”

“You're kidding me.” said the bartender, “You couldn’t have lost an eye just from some bird shit.”

“Well,” said the hate preacher, “I really wasn’t used to the hook yet.”
