A Moroccan-born jihadist has been stripped of his French nationality and sent back to his country of birth because he poses a serious threat to national security, the French government has said. Convicted terrorist Ahmed Sahnouni El Yaacoubi was expelled from France on Tuesday and deported to Morocco, France Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve confirmed.
Born in Casablanca in 1970, the convicted terrorist was sentence in March 2013 to seven years in prison for organizing a recruitment network for jihadists. But while in prison Ahmed Sahnouni remained active, radicalizing several fellow prisoners, a source told the Huffington Post Maghreb.
In May 2014, the detainee’s French passport was taken away, the first such move on the part of French authorities since 2007.
“Given the particularly serious threat posed by having this individual on French soil” the interior minister decided to initiate expulsion proceedings against him, French authorities said in a statement. Seventeen people with links to terrorism have been expelled from France since the beginning of the year, the statement concluded.

A little bit of good news. One Muslim given the boot. Is he the eighteenth or the seventeenth?
Now, if the rate of expulsion and revocation of citizenship could be stepped up, whilst the rate of *importation* could be brought to zero – NO MORE MUSLIMS – things would start to look a lot more hopeful for France.
Thought for the day: this expulsion and revocation should be brought to the attention of other Infidel governments, with accompanying statement that the voting Infidel taxpayer would like to see his or her own government doing likewise with dangerous Muslim fifth columnists who come to official attention in *our* countries.
