We don't want him here, The US can deal with him.

iIagree Argus should butt out. stick to complaints about council services

Oh dear,, first he was in Guantanamo Bay and now the Argus has him "locked up without trail"

What kind of trail?
A nature trail??

Should it be Trial??

If I had a £1 for every Argus typo/spelling error, I'd be a very rich man!

If he does get released lets hope that he joins his mates in London. Then it will be their problem since it's the governments fault for creating Londistan in the first place.

Great. Why don't the Government just put an Ad in the Jihad Times saying "England Welcomes Terrorists"

Irish people were being detained in a far more outragous way 10 years ago and rightly so to protect the UK population from harm and indeed the terror that this people inflict on oyr way of life. My view is that if you get within sniffing distance of terrorists you get all you deserve. This country is an absolute mug to not only accept these people back (who by the way owed a debt to the UK) but to campaign for them to come back is absolutely crazy. Next time you see cutbacks in services just think how much money will be spent in the next few years on keeping him under surveillance as reauired by the US authorities.

I am sure the Argus will feel good though with a big banner headline and OMar will become the latest "non celebrity" on the Bright circuit.

By the way. The typo's were just to make the Argus feel happy with the standad of the article. They might give me a job:)

Home, what home Brighton is not his home. Send him to one of those countries he so willingly embraces. And please Argus don't give this terrorist even more publicity.

I find this forum unbelievable at times, with the endless stream of racist and homophobic comments.

Congratulations to the argus on its campaign to bring Omar homes. As stated in the article the question was not one of guilt - it was that he was detained without trial. People do need to stand up when things like this happen or they could find themselves next.

'Omar coming hhome' is hhome how terrorists spell home? I see this article was written late on Friday night. Perhaps one of the Argus office cleaners wrote it for them.

saltdean of course oh well he will want is child benefit housing benift a house income support etc and why should we have a terrorist suspect get all this he never workt here he not even citizen but hey we are mugs support your local terrorist please and as for the argus well i will now stop buying it

send him back to the holiday island of afghanistan where he visits for a relaxing holiday leave it out argus i was in london when the bombs went off leave it to the pros just keep items about parking' council tax stick to what you know you do gooders

well well well now all the ratbags and BNP supporters crawl out of their sewers, not one ounce of sympathy for a human being who has been held incognito on the orders of a mentally degenerate US president

I really cannot believe the comments being written on here. How horrible you lot are being. Do you know anything about this man or his family or his circumstances?
I saw the programme on TV. His family are not a lot of benefit scroungers, they are fairly well off and support themselves. They own one of the "very nice" houses on Saltdean seafront - one which they majority of us could not afford, so shut up you lot.
This poor man has suffered god knows what torture over 5 terrible, long years. Have some sympathy for that at least. Also have some sympathy for what his poor family have been through over 5 long years.
Have a heart and show some understanding and kindness - this is meant to be the season of goodwill - or have you all forgotten that?

Whata load of racist cr*p What could ever be right about the racism the Irish have suffered in Britain during the centuries as a result of seeking self determination for their country.

If Britain had not been determined to hang on to a part of Ireland colonially there would have been no modern troubles.

Many innocent
Irish suffered under the Prevention of Terrorism Act of 1974, aimed at the Irish community in Britain which had resulted in the detention of 7,052 people by 1991, 86% of whom were released without any further action being taken against them. A disgrace. Any innocent person could have got caught up in it and did. Innocent until proven Irish
If there is a case against Omar he should be tried, if not he should be set free. It's a danger to all our civil liberties condoning people being kept in this way. Does it not worry you that the state can just incarcerate you as they wish? Look at internment in Northern Ireland. A shameful episode in British politics. Oh and weren't the British Government condemned in the European court of Justice for conditions in Northern Ireland prisons and the treatment of prisoners. Before the civil rights marhces in the 60s Northenr Ireland was no better than apartheid South Africa and we in the UK allowed it to go on. Let's not let the human rights Abuses caused by this "war on terror" to go unchecked.

Oh a wonderful heritage of moral superiority we have in Britain - I don't think so.

like the IRA were a unit of moral superiority pal i served in ireland so as a message from my disabled mates get stuffed you loudmouth pratt lobbyroom soap box ****

I am no defender of the atrocities of the IRA but neither would I support the abuses of the British Army. I am sorry for your mates and what they suffered but they would not have been there but for Britain refusing to let go of the North Eastern counties of Ireland.

Now for the Britsh army,
What about Bloody Sunday, arresting people in the Republic and dragging them back to Northern Ireland, shooting people in the back and shooting surrendering unarmed prisoners in Gibralter. Also the roture that went on in interogation centres and prisons.

No one has the moral highground here. Human rights abuses on all sides should be discussed.

the british army are the best otherwise you and your moral speach would be spoken in german mate what right have you to bash the forces i dont suspect that in no time in your life you have done anythink for queen and country or does one speak with a irish accent

Well goodness me, funny how your type see themselves as normal! If you label people who have no time for terrorists where ever they come from as ratbags then what does it make non patriots like you I wonder? I would use the term reciprocal racist bigoted anti anglo saxon traitors to our nation state.

Coming home? Why isn't he going back to Afghanistan or Pakistan, the last two countries he was resident in?

Interesting article here about "our" Omar:

slight problem sunshine. I am Irish and lived through the troubles before and after.
Despite these issues, that did not give me the right to go and blow the **** out of english people.

If i hung around with irish terrorists either protestant or catholic and was arrested and detained then that would be my choice to take that risk. This guy went straight into a conflict which is targeting british troops daily.he should certainly not be given solice in the uk if he feels no loyalty for the uk.

"This guy went straight into a conflict which is targeting british troops daily."

No he didn't. He lived in and left Afghanistan before the war started. Try and get your facts right.

Have just seen this on the news. Is it right that Omar chucked in his law degree and went travelling? Three months after his wife gave birth? Odd behaviour eh? Not suggesting anything untoward. Just think it'd odd.

Lets get rid of all the loony liberal democrats, they're the only ones who want this person here. Anyone who wants this terrorist back is an idiot.

Not quite right. Gave up University, and missed an appointment concerning his application for UK citizenship. Married in Afghanistan and had a child. So no longer a UK resident in my opinion.
I don't like the way he or the other Gitmo prisoners are being treated, but I don't think we have any responsibilty for him.

What a boring idiotic post. Why do you make comparisons with the IRA's campaign to the 'War on Terror'. Apart from the violence there are very few realistic links in their motives, organisation and context in which these campaigns have been waged.

You probably had not moved to Brighton to do your Sociology degree when the town was subjected to one of the most famous terrorist attacks in the UK in recent times.

FYI Ireland was not colonised by Britain, never has been. It has been administered by a state with the majority of the power in Britain, bet was never colonised by a state called Britain. Simple fact you get glaringly wrong, so don't come it with the history.

Carry on voting for Christmas with the other turkeys, thsi whole sorry campaign and liberal bedwetting is what makes me ashamed to be British, not your apologist thinly disguised hatred for your own nationality.

the articale suggests that its irrespective wether hes guilty or not its more about the fact that he was held for 4 yrs without trial..what a lot off **** im sure the americans wouldnt have held him that long if they thought he was an innocent tourist.as for his campainers what a lot of deluded tossers you didnt get him free by setting up a petition stall at churchill sq or arranging some pebbles on the beach in a publicity stunt,any more than the argus set him free,i say put him in belmarsh with captain hook and co till we find out the truth..

He'd better go in hiding should he ever return here.

He should go home and not come to UK.

You are as deluded just like your Labour luvvie chummies! Over 80% of this nation is white native British. We are still the majority. We also live our lives by the Christian tradition though albeit not in its purity. Multiculturalism is dead in the water. It never existed, just a pathetic attempt to try and dismantle our centuries old traditional way of life. You want to experience the farce of cultural diversity then find a job at the BBC while it still lasts. The BBC's days in its present form are well and truly numbered. Cameron and Co. are already making their plans! As for "Cultural Diverse Britain"....don't make me laugh.

The Argus should close this comment area - unfortunately the voice of a minority can sound like a majority on this site. I will, amoung many, welcome Omar back with open arms and distance myself from the crap written on here. The voice who shouts the loudest doesn't represent the people. He beens through hell and deserves peace.

How democratic of you Tim, suggesting free speech and the opportunity to debate this is stifled.

I bet you are one of these who hates a lot of British people because of their class or education, you do find that a lot with the middle class liberal left (a bigger betrayer of the working people of this country you could never hope to find).

Do you know him? Do you know his family? Have you ever discussed his beliefs and motives with him? Do you know whey he really went on his travels? That does not need answering.

You are intolerant of any dissent from your view, and claim that the comments here(and feelings of the majority of the population)are not representative. You and I both know that is self delusion.

The liberal left agenda rules because people like you SHOUT LOUDEST about human rights, asylum and percieved racism from the evil bigoted indigenous British population.

Quick question - if you asked every adult in Britain whether they thought this fella should be allowed back in the country (after being furnished with a good deal of background about the case, for balance) tell me what you HONESTLY think the verdict would be.

Stop being intolerant of peoples views, defending people with no realistic right to be in the country, and this massive self delusion of yours, and wanting to buy the world a coke.

Why? Because you don't like people who have opposite views from yours. What a ridiculous remark to make. We live in Great Britain mate. Free speech is one of our precious liberties and don't you forget it!

as he like afganistan so much i look forward to him going back there to stay this time. won't happen of course. more likely we will end up with his wife and family coming to the uk and resulting in another british kid not getting a school place or a pensioner getting medical care as we will be paying £300,000 a year on security service surveillance to make sure he is not a threat to us all.

that has got to be one of the most unintellectual posts in weeks,do us a favour tim ..never go into politics you numptie.now be a good little boy and go off and do some happy clapping/protest about rainforests or something..

I am pleased that Mr. Deghayes is coming home. Congratulations to The Argus for publicising his case.

Troll alert.

Nice try Patrick.

I am sure that Mr Deghayes is thrilled to be back in his 'home town' with its history as a venue for extra marital sex, tolerance of homosexuality, nightclubbing and alternative lifestyles. I bet its right up his street.

Could it be that its just the safety and standard of living thats attractive?

I get the feeling that we have been mugged off a little here.

A multicultural society? In Brighton? Don't make me laugh. The multicultural society we live in is just our transitional period from initial mass immigration to fragmentation and ghettoisation, which has already started in many places in the country (although not in Brighton where you write from).

It's easy to have principles when you do not have to live with the consequences of massive population shifts and destruction of long standing communities. You can treat other cultures with respect and kindness without having to trample all over less fortunate members of the British population to perform your social experiments.

love it

He was clearly up to no good to get banged up so we don't want him in Brighton.
Why doesn't The Argus keep its nose out of this stuff and concentrate on campaigning on worthwhile issues that affect the community instead of worthless campaiging for the benefit of would-be terrorists. I suggest a change of editor to one who knows how to run a local newspaper for the people, not one who is guided by political whims.

Good to see all the positive comments on this thread given the way this story has been reported by the Argus.

Looks like the editor wants recognition by Amnesty; perhaps with a 20 page pull out for the knit your own sandals brigade.

Like the ex-law student spin, he's basically either a failure of slacker. would be better off doing some real journalism and finding out if he paid for the education he wasted

If he wants to go home send him to Libya or Afghanistan, one place being where he comes from and the other where he met, married his wife and sired offspring.

Hardly the stuff of a gap year.

As someone who tried to go to Libya as a tourist it's a nightmare to get into. As for Afghanistan that's not been safe for years. While I understand why people may want to explore Libya, Afghanistan hasn't been safe for tourists since the 1970's. It's not somewhere you go on holiday.
