Kenya immigration deport 'hate preacher'
January 07 2010 by Liam Clifford
The notorious Muslim-cleric Abdullah al-Faisal, who was deported by UK immigration in 2006, has been deported from Kenya to Gambia.
Kenya has announced the deportation of Jamaican born Muslim cleric Abdullah al-Faisal, infamous for preaching racial hatred.
Faisal was detained last week, however there have been contradictory reports about his location.
The Muslim-cleric has served a prison sentence of four years in the UK on the charge of soliciting the murder of Hindus and Jews.
Speaking of the deportation, Minister for Kenya immigration, Otieno Kajwang said; "He chose Gambia and we have deported him there this morning."
The cleric was born Trevor William Forrest in the St. James area of Jamaica, but left for the United Kingdom 26-years ago.
At the age of 16 Faisal went to Saudi Arabia, where it is believed he spent eight years and subsequently became a Muslim.
Prior to his arrest in the UK Faisal spent years travelling the country advocating racial hatred and urging his audience to kill people of other beliefs including Westerners, Jews and Hindus.
Upon his release from a UK prison he was deported by UK immigration, a year after in 2007, he was found preaching his illegal views in South Africa.
It is thought he travelled to Kenya through Nigeria, Mozambique and Tanzania.
