Syrian Doctor Blamed "Corrupt Jews" for Immigration Conviction

A reader has sent me this article, from May's Jewish Chronicle:

Police feared a Facebook campaign blaming "corrupt Jewish Zionists" for the conviction of a Syrian doctor for immigration offences, would lead to protests outside a court.

Extra police surrounded Kingston Magistrates Court on Friday while Shawkat Spahi-Shoaib attended a sentencing hearing after being found guilty of using deception to remain in the UK.

He had applied for indefinite leave to remain in the UK in May 2005, despite awaiting trial in Manchester for two sexual offences, of which he was later found guilty.

The doctor launched a Facebook group which drew more than 1,600 members, claiming that the two judges involved in the original trial and appeal, investigating officers and defending solicitor were all Jewish.

Among the postings, Dr Spahi-Shoaib wrote: "The Jewish Zionists are working in the UK and possibly around the world." Some posts suggested "at least hundreds" would atend the hearing. But there were no reported incidents or protests and the sentencing was referred to Kingston Crown Court.

It seems this can be filed under the "opportunities provided by mass immigration" section - just imagine how Syria's loss here was Britain's gain.

This individual has been found guilty of two sexual offences; in spite of this he was able to apply for indefinate leave to remain in the United Kingdom, but was charged with misrepresenting himself (and from what I understand of the system, it must have been a very serious lie in order to see him prosecuted).

Upon being caught and punished for his actions, he decides to blame Jews.

This is the mindset we're importing - and as a rather pathetic attempt to defend the good doctor states:

A Muslim Syrian Doctor with a Distinction in Medicine. Graduated within the top 10 students of his country.

Well, the Syrian education system must leave a lot to be desired, mustn't it?

The same website continues to campaign for his release, stating he is currently locked up in HMP Wandsworth for "ticking the wrong box" on an immigration form.

Would that be the "lots of taxpayers cash and infidel women, please," box by any chance?

We're not told, but apparently the sexual assaults he was convicted of were misunderstandings caused by - wait for it - a cultural misunderstanding. There's lots of bleating about his pregnant wife - who we're probably now keeping, and didn't seem to matter too much to him when he was forcing himself on random girls.

As usual, I'm ticking the "what on earth is this individual doing in my country" box.
