El-Faisal was also jailed for stirring up racial hatred. The trial judge said he had “fanned the flames of hostility”.
The twice-married father-of-four urged his followers to kill Hindus, Jews and Americans and distributed tape recordings with titles including “No Peace With The Jews” and “Declaration Of War”. He called for non-believers to be killed with chemical and nuclear weapons, guns and bombs while dismissing the killing of women and children in terror atrocities as “collateral damage”.

It emerged last year that El-Faisal was also believed to have influenced 7/7 bomber Jermaine Lindsay.

Tory MP Patrick Mercer joined calls for El-Faisal to be deported. He said: “It seems very odd that this man is prepared to undermine our society and encourage violence, yet the moment it suits him he cries human rights. This is hypocrisy of the worst kind and we need to just get rid of the man.”
El-Faisal was the first Muslim preacher of hate to be jailed for his rantings. He is being held in high-security Long Lartin prison, in Worcestershire.
Whitehall sources said the Home Office would look to deport him as soon as possible after his prison release date and he would stay in custody until that happens.
But lawyers are now using the European Convention of Human Rights to argue that he should be allowed to stay because of his right to a family life. His four children, stepchildren, wife and former wife are all living in Britain, said his lawyer Khalid Sofi.
He has already lost one appeal before immigration judges but his lawyers plan to fight that decision at the High Court, in a case which could keep him here for several more months. Mr Sofi insisted the case was not being funded by legal aid but it will still cost the taxpayer tens of thousands of pounds for the Home Office to fight it. He said: “His case is based on his human right to have a family life. He has a family here, he has children and wants to remain here with them.”
