Muslim extremists receive conditional discharge
The UK government has taken the decision to ban Islam4UK under the Terrorism Act 2000.
Yesterday (11 January) five Muslim men were found guilty of making threats during a march by the Royal Anglican Regiment through Luton town centre in March 2009.
The threats included accusations of the British soldiers as rapists, baby killers and murderers and angered many of Luton’s residents who had turned out to show their respects.
Following a six-day trial, the five men – Shajjadar Choudhury, 31, Munin Abdul, 28, Jalal Ahmed, 21, Yousaf Bashir, 29 and Ziaur Rahman, 32 – were found guilty of making threats and given conditional discharges for two years as well as being ordered to pay £500 in costs towards the prosecution.
In defence the men said they were simply exercising their right to free speech. However, the Judge rejected this and said that their behaviour “went beyond reasonable, legitimate process.”
One banner waved outside the court as the defendants left yesterday read: “Islam will dominate the world. Freedom can go to hell.” Quite in contradiction to the words of Shajjadar Choudhury who was quoted as saying that the trial showed the failure of freedom of speech and democracy.
In December, Islam4UK – headed up by so-called ‘Preacher of Hate’ Anjem Choudary – announced plans to march along the streets in Wootton Basset, Wiltshire to honour Muslims killed in the Afghanistan conflict. However, as well as attracting wide condemnation from MPs, a Facebook group against the march attracted nearly 30,000 members.
The group has since called it off and said that despite only declaring a desire to hold a procession “it has been successful in highlighting many important issues” – namely “focusing the minds of many within the Muslim community and the wider society on the rights and wrongs of Afghanistan.”
Many people will agree that these Muslim extremists cannot have it both ways. On the one hand they seem to abhor British culture and way of life, yet on the other hand they expect people to welcome them with open arms as they seek to protest and demonstrate in such a vengeful manner.
They also do not say no to the government benefits they are all in receipt of and Islam4UK themselves say they enjoy living in the UK for the security and protection it offers.
One of the unfortunate side-effects of the volume of newspaper inches this story and that of the proposed demonstration on the streets of Wootton Basset has attracted is the country-wide condemnation of the Muslim religion.
We need to remember that actually it is only a minority who choose to seek attention for their cause by inciting violence and hatred. There is a much larger Muslim community who think that the actions of these five are deplorable.
The UK government has today announced plans to ban the Islam4UK group (which is also known by several other names including al-Muhajiroun) under the Terrorism Act 2000 which says a group can be banned if it “commits or participates in acts of terrorism, prepares for, promotes or encourages terrorism, or is otherwise concerned in terrorism.”
However, Islam4UK has already hit back and called the British government “hypocrites” and say that this ban surmounts to dictatorship by the Labour government.
If the members of Islam4UK are so devout in their anger over the British culture, why they continue to enjoy a life funded by the UK government is beyond reason. If this country angers them so much then maybe they would be better received and live a much happier life in a Muslim country, where military, political and religious decisions are more consistent with their own beliefs.
Unfortunately it seems that the fight between religions over who is right seems to be never-ending, and as we live in what we are told is a democracy, everyone should be allowed to have their right to free speech – this is something we celebrate in the UK.
However, if this right is abused in ways that incite violence and anger then maybe someone does need to stand up for the majority.

They should have been locked up and keys thrown away. Don’t fall for this terrorist propaganda about british troops being rapist etc this is the reverse of the reality and how this mentally ill sick people justify their actions.
The British troops and Americans are trying to make places like Iraq and Afganistan better places were people can get an education and have a free life away from the evil persecution of narrow minded people who want to rule and make their own backward laws.
If you really want to get into the mind set of these mentally ill wierd thugs who hide behind a religious cause or Jihad to carry out terrible acts against humanity just read about the beslam school attack where school children on their first day were raped amd murdered and forced to drink their own urine.
Any muslims supporting these sick thugs wants to be ashamed of themselves as a human being and ask themselves what kind of animal am I - the terrorist are nothing more than sick thugs who want to rape and murder so they can act the big man, usually they are lifes losers who need some purpose in life and as you can see they are usually on the dole, but they try and justify every sick thing they do as a cause so stupid people thing ok that is acceptable.
Yes you terrorist are really “brave men” qand should be proud of yourselves killing and raping school children - you are just a bunch of sick people who need to have mental issues sorted by a professional. I hope you all burn in hell.
January 13th, 2010 at 9:56 amI just want to add to this post that there is a big difference between women and children being killed by accident in the bombing of terrorist camps etc as the intentions are to do good but unfortunately innocent people get caught in the cross fire - in a pefect world this would not happen.
But we must also remember that the terrorists etc set up their camps etc near to houses of women and children in alot of cases delibertly so they can further there cause, so they don’t really care about muslim women and children being killed this is all a game that can easily fool the uneducated - it is all about getting support for themeselves by making the US UK look bad.
This is in contrast to the actions of the muslim terrorist who go out to cause damage and destruction and to murder and rape innocent men, women and children all all nationalities and religions.
What kind of sick backward world would we live in if the terrorist got their way and ruled the world, I think we would all be better of dead than this outcome - do people really want these people in power No education, No future prospects, living in fear of being murdered or raped - basically a lawless society ruled by a small group of narrow minded truly evil people - that is all the terrorist are interested in power and money etc - Don’t be fooled
This cannot be the life that people of any religion must want?
