#1 We should relocate him to Hans Island.

#2 No we shouldn't. We're a western society, and we have laws. We don't jug people who are innocent. Yes, yes, I know the old saw about how the splodydope is 'innocent' til he pushes the button, but these folks, most of them anyways, are truly innocent.

They may also be mopes, and may be excitable and prone to eye-rolling and face-making, and that's something the Brits have to fix.

So Samad, for example, needs to return to Britain, get a degree in something useful (accountant, registered nurse, teacher, social worker, mechanical engineer, systems analyst, something). Then he needs to get a job and join a club. Then he needs to marry a nice, professional Muslim woman (doctor, lawyer, etc) and have a couple of kids, buy a house, identify with a good soccer club (Arsenal?), learn to like a pint of warm beer, put a good English garden in behind the house --

-- in other words, he needs to become British.

And if he can do that, he won't have any trouble at all.

#3 Sorry, I was thinking of the other devout student quoted, Imtiaz Baksh. He appears to need peace and quiet to continue his studies.

#4 Hans Island has oil. If Imtiaz studies there, it will soon become the 13,753rd holiest place in Islam.

#6 It sounds like Imtiaz Baksh has gone native. He needs to buy a nice little house in Pakistan, put his son down for a good local public school, get a job -- perhaps teaching English? He must do better than the locals -- plant a garden, etc. It's time for his mummy and daddy back in Canada to stop supporting him, and force him to grow up.
