The OP's source is a known fake news outlet. If that is what the OP is basing their claims on, then I reject the claims.
Seems simple. This is the "fake news" that has been going around for several years, gets picked up by other outlets, passed around, until every one assumes it to be true.
Until folks start doing their own research, and looking into the primary sources of news, we will have "fake news" influencing our thoughts and judgements. This is how the Russian trolls work, how propaganda works.
I always try to check a primary source to see if they have a bias, a hidden agenda, a past record of pushing lies, etc.
If a source comes up as bad as GateStone, I wouldn't use it to bask up any claim or assertion. Any yes, I put a variety of sources (cross-checking) to validate that I was not getting one "bad review."
For me GateStone is a tainted source, after looking into the information available to me, and the number of times they have told flat out lies to promote their agenda.
Thanks for asking why I was doing what I was doing.

You really have a reading comprehension issue don't you? You see, ISIS fighters, recruiters, and nutcase islamic clerics are welcome as shown in previous post. Below are some of the Bans

The UK has refused entry and barred quite a few people from entry to the UK.
List from Wiki
Is there anyone you think should be on this list, and why?

So what is really going on in the UK? We have plenty of UK members and would love some feedback. Why does the UK seem to promote allowing followers of radical islam and ISIS recruiters freely into their nation but reject asylum to those who truly need it and ban those who speak out against the radicals?
From what I read, this also appears to be a pattern throughout Europe. Why is there such a push to promote radical islam in Europe? Why are they silencing people who speak out against it and reject those in need who may "anger" the radicals they have allowed into their nations?
What is the purpose of letting Islamic extremists loose in your country?

In November, it was reported that the Pakistani Christian mother of five, Asia Bibi, was unlikely to be offered asylum by the British government due to concerns about "community" relations in the UK. What this means is that the UK government was worried that Muslims of Pakistani origin in Britain may object to the presence in the UK of a Christian woman who has spent most of the last decade on death row in Pakistan, before being officially declared innocent of a trumped-up charge of "blasphemy".
We have also seen time and again how extremist clerics such as the Pakistani clerics Muhammad Naqib ur Rehman and Hassan Haseen ur Rehman have been allowed to enter the UK despite their track records of supporting the murder of people merely suspected of having blasphemed against, or apostasised from, Islam. Nevertheless, while the UK government continues to allow clerics such as these to enter Britain, it develops an ever-growing banned list of people who are not Muslim but who have been critical of aspects of Islam. It is almost as though the UK government has decided that while extremist clerics can only rarely be banned, critics of such clerics can be banned with ease.

Because we’re not bigots who think that all the brown faced men who speak funny and pray to that weird god are all terrorists just because the right wing media told us so.
Simples.
