...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....
Death Eaters after he spent nearly two years infiltrating meetings to record their inflammatory speeches.
The officer identified only as Kamal forged close relationships with the Luton chapter of a banned group linked to hate preacher Anjem Choudary
...Self-proclaimed holy man who used to work for Omar Mohammed Bakdri as spokesman for al-Muhajiroun. Anjem is a loathesome little attention prostitute who is to be heard cheering for the home team anytime anybody with a turban manages to slaughter a group of unarmed infidels. Anjem was born in the UK in 1967 and is, as you would expect, of Pakistaini descent. The Ghost of Dante is of the opinion that when he goes to hell his knees will be broken once a month...as he collected evidence, a court heard.
In one rant, one of the gang spoke of 40 truck bombs "driving down Oxford Street", the Old Bailey was told.
Speeches were delivered to up to 100 people, including young children, and the group praised Isil and urged others to travel to Syria to fight.
Zaiur Rahman, 39, was convicted of arranging meetings after putting up a marquee in his back garden to host the Luton chapter of al-Muhajiroun
...formerly Omar Bakri Muhammad's spin off group from Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, where the detestable lunatic Anjem Chaudry got his start. More recently the name adopted by al-Qaeda in East Africa for operations in Kenya and Tanzania. It is subordinate to al-Shabaab but will probably be strong enough to fly on its own, given an uninterrupted flow of petrodollars, should the Shaboobs collapse....
| What if the flow of petrodollars is interrupted? |
Mohammed Choudry, 23, was found guilty of encouraging support for Isil, while Mohammed Istiak Alamgir, 37, Rajib Khan, 38, and Yousaf Bashir, 36, were convicted of similar offences last summer.
The invitation-only gatherings in June and July 2015 featured speeches calling for gay people to be thrown from buildings, the court heard.
One was held on the anniversary of the London Tube bombings while in another Choudry spoke of "40 trucks driving down Oxford Street full of explosives".
Choudry, who is married with a young child, told his audience: "My brothers, there is a wave coming. Either you be part of it or you drown. Either you like it or you don't like it.'
| "The arc of history is bending in our direction, O my brothers. Grab your surfboards, and haaaaannnnggg tennnnnnn!!!" |
Drop the gat, Rocky, or you're a dead 'un!
for five-and-a-half years, spoke at one of the meetings in Rahman's garden.
Those attending the speeches included Shazib and Junead Khan. Junead Khan is serving a life sentence for plotting to kill a US soldier in the UK, while Shazib Khan is serving a 13-year jail term for plans to fight alongside Isis in Syria.
Rahman, from Luton, was convicted of three counts of arranging meetings in support of a proscribed organization, while Choudry, from Maidenhead, Berkshire, was convicted of one count of encouraging support for a proscribed organization.
Judge Michael Topolski QC told the pair they had been convicted "of arranging meetings and speaking at a meeting in support of a vicious terrorist organization, who's members and supporters, just like you two, have hijacked and corrupted the principles and practices of an ancient and revered religion for its own purposes".
Kamal accompanied Rahman and Choudry to a meeting where the speaker praised the massacre of 12 journalists at French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo
...
A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority of the active testicles left in Europe...The court heard a secret recording where the speaker says: "It's a great day, it's excellent news."
