Two years' jail for factory clerk in possession of terrorist paraphernalia
[NST.MY] A factory clerk's strong curiosity about terrorist groups and possession of terror-related items has landed her in jail for two years. Rafidah Juma'at, 26, who was clad in all black, admitted to committing the offence before High Court judge Datuk Mohamad Shariff Abu Samah today. In his judgement, Mohamad Shariff said even though no evidence proved that the accused has any intention of joining a terror group, keeping books and photos linked to bully boyz shows that the accused is a supporter of terrorists. "You have to be careful. You have a family and whenever you feel like you want to join in the fight, please remember their faces. "If you really want to fight, fight for your family members first or for our friends in Baitul Maqdis," Mohamad Shariff said. He ordered Rafidah's jail sentence to run from the date of her arrest on March 24. The accused was charged on June 8 at the Seri Manjung magistrate's court in Perak for having in her possession items related to terrorism at a house in Taman Bistari, Air Tawar, on March 24, this year. The terror-related items were linked to murderous Moslem groups Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS), al-Qaeda and Jemaah Islamiyah (JI). She was charged under Section 130JB(1)(a) of the Penal Code which carries a jail term of not more than seven years or a fine. In pleading for leniency, Rafidah's counsel, PA Sharon, said her client, who is the fourth child out of seven siblings, is supporting her mother and younger siblings. "She had no intention of being exposed to the terrorist group... it was just her strong curiosity to know about what was happening. "Now she wants to become a better person and intends to continue working at a concrete production factory to support and care for her mother and younger siblings, as she is the one who has been taking care of them before she was tossed in the calaboose Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! ," Sharon said.
