Hezbollah Mouthpiece Given British Visa

This is crazy! The former editor of Al-Manar television, Ibrahim Moussawi, has been granted a visa to tour the United Kingdom where he is likely to "foment extremism or promote violence."

Al-Manar is the Iranian-backed station based in Beirut that broadcasts anti-semitic programming throughout the Middle East. Moussawi is also the chief editor of Al-Intiqad in Lebanon, linked to Hezbollah.

Shadow Security Minister Baroness Neville-Jones attacked the Government's record of allowing radical extremists into the UK, after ministers previously ignored calls to deny Mr Moussawi entry to the UK.

She said: "The Government has the power to deny entry to people whose presence is not conducive to the public good.

"Yet in the past they have let in extremists to preach hate."

Moussawi plans to speak at a number of events in the coming week.
