A Jamaican Muslim cleric, Abdullah el Faisal, was recently deported from Britain after serving a 4 year sentence for inciting murder. The Jamaican born cleric who had converted to the Muslim religion, lost an appeal against deportation and was put on a plane to Jamaica, the Interior Ministry said. Faisal's conviction was the first test case to use a rare, 140-year-old law against soliciting murder to prosecute Islamic extremist preachers after the events in the US on Sept. 11, 2001. British authorities have claimed that Faisal's sermons inspired at least one of the suicide bombers that attacked London transport in July 2005.
