FROM THEOPINIONATOR:

As we approach the third anniversary of the 7/7/05 bombings and reflect upon the security changes that (should) make Britain an even safer place to live - one is startled by the daily news articles that speak to the opposite occurring. In fact one could say that terrorists could and do live quite safely in the Nu-UK.

The British people feel that whilst they are being monitored by CCTV cameras  -seemingly invading nearly every facet of daily life- that the real threats - the muslim terrorists/prisoners are being handled with kid gloves and given preferential treatments. The most recent case of  Abu Qatada, a convicted terrorist, whose rights to be free on bail and of avoiding deportation back to his homeland of Jordan on the CHANCE that he may receive punishment there, has clearly placed his comfort and safety as a higher priority than that of the British people. To add insult to injury the intended victims of his violence, the hard working British people, are then forced to pay thousands of pounds for this man and his family's food, shelter, and all living expenses - including a bonus for Qatada's "bad back":

"Abu Qatada is to receive almost £8,000 a year in benefits because he has a bad back. The fanatical cleric, said to be Osama Bin Laden’s ambassador in Europe, will get £150 a week of taxpayer’s cash after being released from jail last week. He was granted the incapacity benefit because his condition makes him unfit to work – even though a curfew allows him out of his home for only two hours a day, meaning it would be almost impossible for him to get a job. Qatada left Long Lartin prison in Worcestershire after the Appeal Court blocked his deportation to Jordan. He is now living in an £800,000 four-bedroom Edwardian semi in a tree-lined street in West London. His incapacity allowance will push the family’s total annual handouts to more than £50,000. His wife has been claiming £45,000 a year in child benefit, income support, housing benefit and council tax credit for the past four years.....Taxpayers are also footing an estimated £500,000 a year bill to provide round-the-clock surveillance on Qatada, who has been described by a judges as a ‘truly dangerous individual’.
He arrived in Britain 14 years ago on a forged passport and was granted asylum the following year."

So how does Qatada show his gratitude for the hard working taxpayers generosity?  Why by immediately releasing a book telling muslims to commit terrorist attacks against the "non-believers"- Western nations. Thus is the sham of the ludicrous British judicial system which in conjunction with the EU Human Rights laws has placed the perpetrator (particularly if he/she is a muslim) with greater value than the innocent past and would be victims. To add to the farce - Qatada was warned by judge to not meet with Osama Bin Laden.

That brings us to the next question.  What IF Osama bin Laden were to be found in Great Britain - what kind of life he have and what punishment would he receive? The below linked article, though a bit "tongue in cheek" aptly spells out Osama's likely fate in the UK:
