Sling your hook HATE-FILLED Muslim cleric Abu Hamza is being urged to quit the country � before Britain kicks him out. Furious opponents, including Muslims, rounded on the hook-handed fanatic yesterday after ricin plot suspects were held at his mosque. Their calls piled pressure on Home Secretary David Blunkett, who has already ordered cops to nail the 45- year-old Egyptian firebrand � wanted in Yemen over an alleged terrorist bomb plot. Seven asylum seekers were arrested in the 2am raid on North London�s Finsbury Park mosque. One is thought to be a �major player� in terror group al-Qa�ida. Police also found a stun gun and a CS gas canister. Last night it emerged Hamza�s British citizenship could be revoked under the new Nationality Immigration and Asylum Act, due to become law this spring. Hamza, who lost an eye and both hands fighting the Russians in Afghanistan, became a citizen after wedding Briton Valerie Fleming in 1984. But a Home Office spokeswoman said: �The Secretary of State may deprive a person of citizenship status if satisfied that person has done anything seriously prejudicial to the vital interests of the UK.� However, she stressed any foreigner deprived of British citizenship must have an alternative state to go to first. Hamza accused cops of �Rambo� tactics after 150 swarmed into the mosque hunting members of a gang producing killer poison ricin. But fellow Muslim leader Dr Mohammed Sekkoum led angry calls for his expulsion. Dr Sekkoum, leader of the Algerian Refugee Council, raged: �The police should shut down the mosque and remove Hamza and his followers from the country.� Iqbal Sacranie, secretary general of the influential Muslim Council of Great Britain, said: �It amazes the Muslim community no action has been taken against a man who�s made the utterances this man has. �These fringe elements feed Islamaphobia.� Labour MP Andrew Dismore, who has monitored Hamza�s activities for more than three years, said: �It would be no loss if he was no longer here. There�s sufficient evidence for him to be charged with incitement.� Anti-crime crusader Norman Brennan added: �My message to him is simple � get out.� Shadow Home Secretary Oliver Letwin said: �Most people will find it amazing that someone intent on damaging our country has been able to carry on his malign work for so long.� Hamza, who lives in a council house in Shepherd�s Bush, West London, claimed cops raided the mosque where he preaches in revenge for the killing of Manchester detective Stephen Oake last week. He said: �We cannot find a reason for this Rambo-like way of attacking the mosque. �It�s disgusting, heavy-handed and unnecessary. �It was not a shock. It serves a multiple purpose. It serves Mr Blair and the police. �It gives the message to the Americans and the Israelis from the Government that they are not sleeping.� Hamza, widely criticised for his inflammatory speeches, said the raid backed up PM Tony Blair�s �war against UK Muslims�. He added: �The people inside included a cleaner, a chef and two guards. It was a provocative act. You are trying to make an enemy out of nothing.� The Charity Commission last week withdrew Hamza�s charity status � opening the way for the Government to kick him out of the country. But he said of any possible expulsion: �I don�t have a place to go.� Hamza arrived from Egypt as a student in 1981 and boosted his income by working as a bouncer in Soho. He wed Valerie, but divorced several years later and is now thought to be married to an Arab woman and have �several� children. Security chiefs had Hamza under constant surveillance, ready to pounce if he put a foot wrong. But they were hamstrung by Britain�s laws on immigrants. An immigration service source had said: �This man is a UK citizen so we can�t just stick him on a plane out.� Hamza shocked Britain when he defiantly justified the attacks in New York and Washington in September 2001. He said: �America is a crazy superpower and what was done was done in self-defence.� Yemen has accused him of masterminding a plot to bomb British targets in the port city of Aden in 1998. Security sources claim they have evidence he sent his son, stepson and others from his �Supporters of Sharia� group to training camps run by the Islamic Army of Aden. His recruits confessed in a Yemeni court to paying a local terrorist leader �2,000 for weapons and training. The leader, Abu Hassan, led the kidnap of 16 Western tourists and told his gunmen to murder as many as they could when Yemeni soldiers tried to rescue them. Four, including three Britons, died. Last night a Whitehall source said: �The Home Secretary could look at extradition. But we�ve no treaty with Yemen and he would not be sent there due to the harshness of the judicial system.� -- Outgoing mail is certified virus free Scanned by Norton AntiVirus <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
