Abdullah el-Faisal (born 10 September 1963) is a Muslim minister who gave his messages in the United Kingdom until he was convicted of supporting hate against different races and asking his followers to murder Jews, Hindus, Christians, and Americans.[2][3][4][5]

El-Faisal was sent to nine years in prison, but only went to it for four years before being forced to go back to Jamaica in 2007.[4][6] He would then go to Africa, but was forced to leave Botswana in 2009 and later Kenya in January 2010.
