In a sure sign of how worried France is becoming, they have deported another radical Islamic nutbar preaching the establishment of the Caliphate: France Deports Islamic Mosque Leader.
PARIS - France deported an Islamic mosque leader Thursday who was accused of leading a group that advocates terrorism, the Interior Ministry said.
The expulsion of Midhat Guler is part of a growing French crackdown against radical Muslim clerics. Guler, a Turkish national, was taken out of France by plane, but the ministry did not indicate what the destination was.
“This expulsion is motivated by the threat that this person represented to the public order,” the ministry said in a statement. “Mr. Guler is in fact a leader in France of a Turkish Islamic extremist movement called ‘Kaplan’ that preaches use of violence and terrorism.”
The ministry statement was an apparent reference to a group that calls for establishing an Islamic state in Turkey as a breeding ground for Islamic terrorists.
Guler, 45, was the leader of a mosque near the Bastille area of eastern Paris, the ministry said. He has lived in France for 28 years and has five children.
