Lots of people are pretty het up about how the UK is admitting Hezbollah Media Relations Officer Ibrahim Moussawi - a venomous and genocidal anti-Semite - after bouncing Wilders:

There can be little doubt now that this government, a Labour government, is going to allow Hezbollah's Media Relations Officer, Ibrahim Moussawi, into the United Kingdom... Let's briefly recap the reasons that representatives of Hezbollah and Al Manar, and Mr Moussawi in particular, should be banned from Britain. Moussawi was famously reported as having described Jews as "a lesion on the forehead of history" He has worked for some time as Hezbollah's propagandist, working as the Head of Political Programming the fiercely and viciously antisemitic Al Manar television station. Al Manar: broadcast "Diaspora", a dramatisation of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, in which Jews were depicted planning the Holocaust, and murdering children to drink their blood... Put simply, Moussawi's job involves inciting hatred against Jews... The position was, of course, different when it came to Geert Wilders. As you know, I supported the ban on Geert Wilders because - in calling for Muslims to be encouraged to leave the Netherlands - I felt that he had overstepped the mark. But the obnoxious nature of Wilders' views doesn't even begin to compare with Moussawi's vicious, anti-semitic, and terrorist politics.

This will be at least the second time that Moussawi is allowed into Britain. But here's the best part:

[The UK is spending] 2,000 pounds per government official to hear a lecture on tolerance by hate cleric Ibrahim Moussawi: "Government officials will spend thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money to attend a lecture by an Islamic extremist... the lectures Moussawi plans to deliver are targeted at Whitehall officials who deal in foreign affairs and extremism. They will each spend up to £1,890 of taxpayers' cash attending the Political Islam event at the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) next month.

They're letting him in so they can pay him to lecture about how contemporary Islam has nothing to do with extremism. If only there was a phrase about people who intentionally seek ideological confirmation while shutting out contradictory information. Something from the psychology literature perhaps.
