Democracy, communism, capitalism, It all doesn't matter when it comes to potential danger of deaths. If I tell you the father next door was jailed for murdering, what would you do to his son?
According to what i read here, I guess many of you would beat him once you see him but what would Jesus do?

Brian, Newcastle,

Of course he should be banned. Once he arrives in the UK, any attempt to deport him for whatever reason will fail due the 'Yumin Rites Act'. The whole Bin Laden clan lived in the United States up to '9/11', and for their own safety the US Government advised them to leave, which they did.

B Clark, Chelmsford, England

The Saudis, Emirates, etc all know where Bin Laden is. If he wants to live here, he must give us his dad.

Ian Jones, Reading, UK

clearly as she has family in UK there was a plan to live there.
men & women are not allowed to be alone before marriage in Islam so how was there a holiday romance?
There are excellent hospitaks in Saudi and Gulf States so why does she have to come to UK?
He has a business so why move to UK?

plato, ely, UK

Interestingly enough, even the CIA says they don't have enough proof that bin Laden was involved in 9/11 to mention that on its website.
So why should his son assume he was responsible if there is not enough evidence of this? Just because the media or GWB says so?

Tim, Toronto,

the right decision.he is 27,she is 52,unable to have children at this age.my guess is after aquiring his british passport he will divorce her.why don't they live in saudi arabia?the bin lardens have enough wasta to process her papers immediately.

hassina al-harazi, kuwait, kuwait

With a comment like " I do not know if my father is a terrorist or was involved in the attacks" is Crazy. I suppose Omar Ossama bin Laden ignores the videos his father releases every so often. Imagine a "Westerner" bombed an Arab country and then his son requested residence.What would they say /do?

Chris, Rushden, England

So a man who arrives illegally and burns his passport can't be deported but a man married to a UK citizen and capable of supporting himself can't enter.

Which planet is this? When I woke up I thought it was the 3rd rock from the sun, bit its looking more Martian by the minute.

KR, Stockport,

While I don't believe the child should suffer for the crimes of the parent you have to wonder how safe it would be for him here.
I wouldn't like to be bin Laden's child and living here.

Mags, Nr Oxford, UK

“considerable public concern”.


That's an understatement. he is not welcome and nor are any of his family, i wouldn't trust them as far as i could throw them and we don't want his sort in our country, ever.

Samantha Jones, Bucks, England

What is the difference between the British government and the communist party in China? Saying that China is not democratic, it is the same when democracy hurts your benefit. Prejudice always exist and there's no real freedom and democracy at all.

Andre, Hong Kong, China

"The sins of the fathers?" Why not let him come, his daddy might just come to visit him!

S. Barraclough, Huddersfield, W. Yorkshire

Definitely the right decision. The situation between the couple is really strange - together with his background and political views the immigration service (or whatever it is) is right to be suspicious of his and her motives.

Dan, Winchester, UK

Medial treatment is available all over the world, at a price. However Husband No.6 or 7 doesn't inspire confidence in the longevity of this marriage, especially considering that the woman is twice as old as the man.

Penny, London,

She has been married six times, he is half her age, and they think this will last ! The Home Office are doing the right thing for a change and keeping undesirables out of the U.K. They are both probably in the marriage for their own gain , not for love !

Jane golding, southport,

For once the Home Office has actually been sensible and made a good decision. We do not want terrosists in this country. Why don't they live in Egypt?
I hope his appeal is declined, surely the authorities must have information on him to back their claim.
kudos to the Home Office!

Kim, London, UK

'I need medical attention in the UK'
so there is the realk reason for coming back

Sally , Bristol,

I think that he should to move to New York. Nassau county, Long Island to be specific. He would receive a warm welcome.

Walter Teague, Fountain Valley, USA

Further proof that this country is great and people are doing all sorts of things on come here. I dont know why people complain.

jayil, london, uk

I think he should be allowed in. Then our security service can have a little chat with him and ask a couple of pertinent questions. Such as what are your views on Global Warming? Will the proposed Experimental Laws Variation in Rugby Union ruin the game? Where's your dad?

Andy L, st helens, UK

Whom was 'Jack the Ripper' purported to be? Was his family blocked from living in the 'Kingdom'?

D. Griffing, Naples, Long Beach, USA

Let him in. It would make Britain safer! Perhaps his Dad would calm down a bit if he sampled the advantages of a peaceful society? Better to live for a cause than die for it?

Chris, London,

Before the British people can judge this case facts should be known.
What is the wife's medical condition and her problem?
What hospital does she require to attend?
Do they already own property here?
Do they own properties in other places, where & how many?
Will they disown his father?
et al..

john, elmstead, uk

Clearly, his wife, with her history, will be looking to cash in on her husband's connections and his father's notoriety at the earliest possible moment. She cannot do this in Egypt as the press machinery doesn't exist and no one would be interested anyway. As for Saudi Arabia.... Slam the door.

John Arnold, Reigate, UK

an israeli general who has been declared a WAR criminal can land at Heathro airport and leave safley so why cant an innocent man who has a legal right to come here and live in England

Usman, Cardiff, Cardiff

It is not right or fair to hold him responsible for the actions of his father. If society was built on those rules it would be awful.

If a UK citizen who has paid national insurance needs medical attention they should get it, and not have to read snide comments in national newspapers about it.

Justin Keeble, Ascot, England

I would like to thank the British Officials for making this decision. This marriage appears to be only a global PR stunt. They will get divorced once the media has lost interest in their honeymoon.

Tim, Reading, Berks

Whilst it is unfortunate his father acts like he does, Is it really worth the risk?

You have to question is intentions of marrting a woman old enough to be his wife!

Leon, Bristol,

And he is not even a criminal.....shame...of course he should be allowed to stay...I hope that the decision is reversed.

alan, jystrup, Denmark

She needs medical attention in the UK, he divorced his wife AFTER he married her. Priceless.

Cromwell, Leeds, England

I cannot see why the man cannot live in England - if the authorities want to ban anyone they should ban these preachers of intolerance who seem so well protected. He is not responsible for the actions of his father end of story.

Orwell, London,

Surely,when one is married you live where the bread winner lives.In the case of the UK it seems the norm that one must live in the UK no matter where the bread winner works or has a business..
It is time that UK residents who marry an overseas resident be made to realize that they may need to move
