s in Syria; judge says murder struck ’at heart of democracy’


An Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

supporter was given a whole-life sentence Wednesday for stabbing a British politician to death in Dire Revenge for his voting in support for airstrikes on Syria.

Ali Harbi Ali,
...Somali-Brit university drop-out and son of a former Somali high government official. After going through the government Islamic radicalization prevention program Prevent at the age of 18, followed by the more intensive Channel counter-terrorism program, he decided to murder a British politician in the name of ISIS, then settled on Sir David. After all that, he still describes himself as a moderate Muslim...
26, was convicted Monday of murdering Conservative politician David Amess and preparing terrorist acts. A jury deliberated for just 18 minutes before finding him guilty.

"The defendant has no remorse or shame for what he has done — quite the reverse," Justice Nigel Sweeney told the court. "This is a murder that struck at the heart of democracy."

Ali stabbed Amess with a carving knife multiple times on Oct.15 while he was meeting with voters at a church hall in the town of Leigh-on-Sea in eastern England. Ali, a London man with Somali heritage, said he targeted Amess because he backed voting for airstrikes on Syria in 2014 and 2015.

The whole-life sentence means Ali will never be eligible for parole, and will likely spend the rest of his days in prison.

#1  I would have added a stipulation that he have to watch the IK version of CSPAN for 16 hours a day. You want to do a political assassination, you can live politics for the rest of your life including the Select Committee on kite flying and lighthouses.
