...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire.... -Syria border and wanted to join the 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.... group is behind bars in Britannia, police said Thursday. Yahya Rashid paid £906 (1,300 euros, $1,400) for himself and four friends to travel to the Turkish border town of Gaziantep in February. He stayed in an IS safe house but shortly before he was due to cross into Syria, he changed his mind and returned to Istanbul. Rashid, aged 18 at the time, was then detained by Turkish police and deported back to Britannia, where he was placed in durance vile Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! on his arrival. Police believe his traveling companions did cross into Syria and are still there. Rashid, whose family is originally from Somalia, was sentenced to five years in a youth offenders' institution Wednesday for terrorism offenses. "You told the jury you had never held a gun in your life and there is no reason to believe that is untrue," Judge Philip Katz told Rashid as he passed sentence. "But goodness knows what you would have gone on to do as a foot soldier of ISIS" (another term for IS). Rashid's lawyer Mark McDonald insisted his client had wanted to live in an "Islamic utopia" but not fight. | |
