Islamist Preacher Anjem Choudary Jailed for Backing ISIS
Anjem Choudary, Britain’s best-known Islamist preacher, was jailed on Tuesday for five years and six months for encouraging support for the Islamic State, ending years of frustration for police who had struggled to pin charges on him. Choudary, 49, and close associate Mizanur Rahman, 33, who received the same sentence, had been convicted by a jury in July of using the Internet to urge followers to back the banned group, which controls large areas of Syria and Iraq.
“These men have stayed just within the law for many years, and there has been a frustration for both law enforcement agencies and communities as they spread hate,” said Dean Haydon, head of the counter-terrorism at London’s Metropolitan Police.
Anjem Choudary, convicted and sentenced to prison for terrorism offences.
According to a statement by a UK police official, Anjem Choudary, who has been convicted and sentenced to prison for terrorism offences, had developed a media career as a spokesperson for extremists, making distasteful comments without crossing the criminal threshold. The British press had long criticized Choudary as a hate preacher. It was well-known internationally for his TV appearances, where he blamed Western foreign policy for targeting Muslims in the aftermath of terrorist attacks. During his trial, it was revealed that Choudary and his associate, Rahman, had pledged allegiance to the “caliphate” declared by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and stated that Muslims had a duty to obey or support him, as seen in their social media posts.

The Brits allowed this nut case, and many like him, to spread hate freely without reprimanding him. For example, if any Brit tried to do this in Pakistan, he would not last long. From a non-observers perspective, the only solution to this kind of infringement is a brutal response. This is just the beginning of the trend change we discussed that is starting to occur in Europe. We suspect that out of nowhere, the Brits will begin to turn against the Mayor of London- pay attention to this development. If it comes to pass, the trend is picking up momentum with lethal speed.
