*A * *Pastor **who illegally shipped South African workers to the Isle of Man and paid them "slave wages"* *has been jailed for three months.* Reverend Pieter Van Rooyen, 46, admitted* breaking immigration laws* by *providing false documents* *to get five labourers get through immigration controls*. *The pastor faked invites to a business course when they were actually renovating his luxury home. * He was jailed by High Bailiff Michael Moyle who also imposed £1,500 costs. *The workers were paid* *as little as £1.36 an hour* - *described in court as slave wages* - and *made to work up to 72 hours a week on his home* at Lag Birrah Drive, Onchan. *The Isle of Man Government will continue to pursue breaches of immigration law with the utmost vigour * Immigration statement * Reverend Van Rooyen* was the *leader and founder o*f *the Life Church* in Douglas and a former offshore banking executive at Barclays. He said he did not realise the workers were going to be paid so little and that he had budgeted with the builder to pay them a decent wage. But Mr Moyle said *the offences were committed out of greed.* Although he jailed Van Rooyen, the High Bailiff stopped short of deporting him. A statement from the Island's Immigration Office said it was completely satisfied with the case's outcome. "This case, which has been highly unusual for the Isle of Man, clearly demonstrates the need for vigilance and for the prompt and proper prosecution of anyone found to have committed such offences," it added. "The Isle of Man Government will continue to pursue any breaches of immigration law with the utmost vigour, both to uphold the law and to prevent the exploitation of the vulnerable." The building workers have all returned to South Africa.

He currently lives together out of wed-lock with Marlene Van Doorn - a documentalist in African Studies Center (ASC) library - in Leiden. Jusfiq Hadjar has, thus far, succesfully deceived many NGOs into believing that he is a human rights activistist. One of the NGOs that has been trapped in his lies is a Muslim human rights group, the Movement against Racism and for Friendship among Peoples. Jusfiq Hadjar is very active in his campaigns against Islam and Muslims on the Internet, especially in several Indonesian mailing lists. He will spread massive amounts of offensive, slanderous, lying statements against Islam and Muslims day in and day out and at the same time claiming that he is a Muslim. Undoubtedly, Jusfiq Hadjar is one of those people who still thinks that adhering to a daily routine of cursing and swearing on the Internet would help to make him look intelligent and preserve his sanity. It shoots no wonder then if you find mosts of his writings on the Internet are just about cursing and swearing at Muslims and licking the ass of his christian friends. Jusfiq Hadjar has joined several mailing lists in order to spread his severe hatred against Islam and Muslim on the Internet: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/islamkristen/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/proletar/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/apakabar/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/minangnet/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/istiqlal/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/partai-keadilan/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ijtihad/<http://groups.yahoo.com/group/partai-keadilan/> Marlene Van Doorn is very supportive of his life partner's evil activities on the Internet, and gives her financial support by providing him with meals, accomodation and Internet connection. He is also allegedly financed by Leiden church. He has no children.
