Drunk and Disorderly
The Times reports that the sadistic murderer Mohammed Emwazi who has been portrayed as pious and put-upon young Muslim was thrown out of Tanzania for being drunk and disorderly.
Yet this bogus 'human rights' organisation Cage continues to pump out Islamist propaganda on Emwazi's behalf without a shred of evidence to back up their ridiculous claims.
Now wonder the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Anita Roddick have withdrawn their previous support for CAGE although it is scarcely believable that they supported CAGE to the tune of hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The terrorist Mohammed Emwazi was expelled from Dar es Salaam, the Tanzanian capital, because he was drunk and disorderly on a flight from Amsterdam, The Times has learnt.
Emwazi, later known as Jihadi John for beheading western hostages in Syria, embarked on a ten-hour drinking session as he flew to the country en route to Somalia. He was travelling in May 2009 with two companions, said to be intent on waging jihad. The revelation that the supposedly strict Muslim was deported for being drunk and violent counters claims that authorities in Tanzania had thrown out Emwazi because they were tipped off by MI6.
It can also be disclosed that he was travelling to Dar es Salaam with another suspect known to intelligence services — Ali Adorus, from east London, who has since been jailed in Ethiopia for terrorism offences. Their companion on the trip was a German whom Tanzania named as Marcel Schrodl. He told police that he was a translator. Police records show that Emwazi, who later claimed to the prisoners’ rights group Cage that he was going on safari, was the youngest in the group at the age of 20. Adorus was 27 and Schrodl 23.
The trio travelled at a time when Tanzania’s porous borders were a well-worn route for jihadists intent on joining the extremist group al-Shabaab in Somalia.
Emwazi, now 26, is the knife-wielding murderer who has beheaded a number of Islamic State hostages, including the American journalists James Foley and Steven Sotloff, and the Britons David Haines and Alan Henning.
Mathias Chikawe, Tanzania’s home affairs minister, said that the pilot of the KLM flight on which Emwazi was travelling had warned immigration staff that the trio were causing trouble. Their flight arrived at 10.50pm on May 22, 2009. They were detained on arrival by immigration officers and questioned. They were formally booked into the airport police station at 1am.
Mr Chikawe said that MI6 had no role in their expulsion, insisting that the men were expelled for drunkenness. “They were refused entry because they disembarked from the plane very drunk,” Mr Chikawe said.
All three passengers were released from police cells at 8am and they were handed over to immigration. They were put on a flight back to the Netherlands that morning.
“They were insulting our immigration staff and other people,” Mr Chikawe added. “They failed to explain why they had come to Tanzania.”
He said that other passengers on the flight, which made a scheduled stop at Kilimanjaro airport, had confirmed that the men had caused problems. “The immigration department put them in custody on advice from the pilot that he would not carry them back to Amsterdam,” Mr Chikawe said. “There was no information from anywhere that they were criminal suspects.”
There have been reports that the British authorities, fearing that the men were attempting to join al-Shabaab, tipped off security officers in Dar es Salaam.
After being thrown out of Tanzania, the trio were questioned in Amsterdam and Dover, and all complained later about their treatment to the charity Cage. They insisted that they were travelling to Tanzania for a safari.
Adorus, whose wife lives in Finsbury Park, north London, with their child, is now in prison in Ethiopia on terrorism offences. The Briton, who claimed to be visiting his family in the country, was sentenced to four and a half years in jail in January.
The disclosure of his travel to Tanzania will put more pressure on Cage, which has been accused of being an apologist for Muslim extremists — a charge that the group has vehemently denied. It claimed that Adorus signed a false confession under torture. Cage petitioned William Hague, then the foreign secretary, to express concern about the conditions in which Adorus, who had had cancer, was being kept.
Adorus’s sister refused to comment yesterday from the family home. KLM declined to respond to the claims that its pilot was involved. An immigration officer who was on duty that night, but asked not to be named, made no mention of drunkenness in his initial account. However, he said that officers grew suspicious when the men “had some queries about their visa forms”.
“Before the passport scan you have to fill out a form. They had some queries about that form and, when we pressed them hard, Emwazi and his colleagues could not respond to our questions, so we took them to the airport police,” he said.
When The Times asked him about claims that the men were drunk he said he did not think Adorus had been drinking. A Tanzanian intelligence official insisted “there was no stop order” from British intelligence, and officials at Interpol confirmed that they had no records of an alert for Emwazi. In a series of emails sent to activists at Cage, Emwazi claimed that he was beaten and abused in Tanzanian custody.
He said that a Tanzanian policeman told him they were acting on the orders of a foreign government, and he claimed that an MI5 agent who introduced himself as Nick tried to recruit him when he landed in Amsterdam.
In a statement on its website, Cage said that Adorus had been harassed by MI5. The group also claimed that he was refused entry to Tanzania when he tried to go on a week-long safari “with two friends from west London”.
“The men were threatened with beatings and held for days in inhumane conditions, only to be told that MI5 was behind their rejection from the country,” Cage said in a statement.
