I know some commies went crazy after the demise of soviet union, but I didn’t know ali was one of them until I read this article.

“They were convinced that Basit was a terrorist who should have been kept in prison indefinitely, as he certainly would have been in Britain or the US.”

You should know better than this to write this crap, or is the hatred of capitalist west getting the better of you, there is a rule of law in britain no one can be kept in prison indefinitely, even the brit-muslim detainees of gauntanamo have been released.
