| Race Hate Charges Against UK Cartoon Jihadis |
| 2006-06-26 |
| The hate charges are surprising because countries with those crazy laws, usually only apply them against whites. The other surprise is that nobody else published this story. Four men charged with race hate crimes, including soliciting murder, following a demonstration against anti-Islamic cartoons are to be tried separately. The four pleaded not guilty to the offences at the Old Bailey. The charges follow a central London demonstration on February 3 in protest against cartoons published in Denmark satirising the prophet Mohammed. Abdul Muhid, 23, of Stoke Newington, north London, pleaded not guilty to two offences of soliciting the murder of those who insulted the Muslim faith. Umran Javed, 26, of Birmingham, and Mizanur Rahman, 22, of Palmers Green, north London, denied soliciting murder and using threatening words or behaviour to stir up race hate. Abdul Saleem, 31, of Poplar, east London, denied one charge of using threatening words and behaviour to stir up race hate. All except Muhid were remanded on bail to a date to be fixed. |

| #3 The other surprise is that nobody else published this story. A decade ago, SkyNews was watched by expats and English speakers across Western Europe. It was considered less US-centric than CNN, and less Britain-centric than the BBC. Also, it carried a nice selection of American television shows and the latest show trials (O.J. Simpson, anyone?) that the Europeans for some reason found so fascinating. |

| #2 Put these "youths" in the Tower. Leave them there to marinate for say 60 years. Give them time to ripen. |

| #1 In all the signs of those protestors wanting to "slay those who insult Islam", I don't recall any "kill whitey" signs. At the risk of sounding like a EU snob (feeling the need to educate outlanders), do we need to educate the folks in the UK on what the word "race" means? Wouldn't a simple "incitement to murder" approach work with these jihadi scumbags? |
