Iranian Sheikh Mansour Leghaei Is Being Deported to Iran

ASIO’s  is against it.

ASIO has stood their ground since it made its first adverse security assessment against Iranian Sheikh Mansour Leghaei and blocked his attempt to become an Australian citizen. ASIO is not required to disclose any information it has on Iranian Sheikh. As a non-citizen, the High Court also ruled out that Dr. Mansour Leghaei had no right to be told as why ASIO suspected him. Matter of national security prevailed above any rights Mansour Leghaei might have to procedural fairness.
Mansour Leghaei admitted he took two payments from Iranian sources and donation from the Iranian Embassy in 1999, despite of all these he still denied any link with Tehran. Clues include a translation of his student notes on jihad, which ASIO admitted was flawed and which, Dr Leghaei complained, inserted inflammatory material about the killing of infidels.
ASIO found $10,000 in his luggage in 1995, which he said he was carrying as a donation from Iran to an Islamic centre in Melbourne. When ASIO’s questioned him about a suspected terrorist organisation in France called Ahlul Bayt. Mansour Leghaei said he knew nothing of such group but had opened an education centre in Nigeria in 1992 called Ahlul Bayt, a common term meaning ”house of the prophet”.
The banished sheikh will be returning to his home city of Esfahan, in Iran, with his wife, Marzieh, and their youngest child, Fatima, 14. The flight will be leaving Sydney Airport carrying Dr Leghaei just before 2 hours of his deadline to leave Australia voluntarily or be deported.
Politicians, newspaper and media like a boneless jelly fish swings whichever way it benefits them, name, fame, money and whatever it maybe. But it is the defence and intelligence community who does all the hard work and sacrifice themselves and their families and loved ones and even their own life to protect the freedom and the future of this country.
We don’t want September 11 in our soil do we? Neither do we want it to be like the Middle East: Israel, Iraq or Afghanistan, London Bombing, Delhi Parliament Attack, Mumbai Terrorist Attack, Bali Bombing.  Prevention is better than cure. So, let the intelligence community do their job.
So many people get deported from Australian every year, students, refugees, illegal or over stayed foreign nationals. Just because media and newspaper doesn’t shout and yell about it as it may not profit their sale, doesn’t mean its not happening to other people from other cultural or religious background. Now, who is going to shout, protest and support these poor, sorry and sad people? Why not yell at the government, organise a rally for these departing people? I support the decision of the ASIO to act in the interest of national security and the future of Australia.
What are most public good at? Winging and complaining demanding rights and freedom when we have all the freedom we can have in this country. And when there is an attack who do they blame? Of course it’s the Government and intelligence community of not doing anything to protect them.
ASIO is upgrading their department, resources, more budget and able to carry guns and ASIS will also be able to carry out paramilitary mission in foreign soil. Watch out you could be next…
