It is said by some news outlets such as Sky News that the radical Islamic preacher and inspiration for many so-called ‘home grown’ terrorists Anjem Choudhury could face a ten year prison sentence following his conviction at the Central Criminal Court on terrorism offences.
In my view ten years is not nearly long enough for this scumbag especially when you bear in mind that one of the Islamic murderers of Fusileer Lee Rigby was a supporter of Choudhury’s Jihadist groups. When you take into account just how long the law has taken to bring this treasonous bastard to justice it makes a potential ten year sentence seem derisory in the circumstances. Because of the terrible devastating effect that some of Choudhury’s associates, and those who’ve been inspired by him have had, he should be looking at 20 years. Better still he should be stripped of his British citizenship and exiled, even if it does go against the Statelessness Convention, because he has made it plain to the world that he has no loyalty to either the UK or its people and prefers the savages of ISIS and similar entities. Unfortunately I predict that Choudhury will not get the punishment that he deserves and if he gets the full ten years then I’ll be very surprised.
I’ve no doubt that his sentencing will be interesting to say the least and just as with the Muslim murderer of the poor Ahmedi shopkeeper in Glasgow, I expect that various groups of bearded mental patients will turn up to support Choudahry as they did when the Muslim murderer Tanveer Ahmed was sentenced.
Here’s an excerpt from the Sky News report on Choudhury’s conviction.
Britain’s most prolific jihadi recruiter Anjem Choudary is facing up to a decade behind bars after he was found guilty of terror offences.
The extreme cleric has been convicted of inviting support for terror group Islamic State in a series of lectures released on YouTube.
Security sources believe Choudary is linked to 500 British jihadis who have fled the UK to join the terrorist organisation in Syria and Iraq.
Until now, Sky News has been unable to report his conviction after a judge imposed a reporting ban due to a linked trial of Choudary’s associates from Luton, who were also accused of encouraging support for IS.
The juries in the two cases were not aware that they were sitting on connected cases in the same building at the Old Bailey.
peaking exclusively to Sky News the night before his conviction, Choudary insisted he was merely exercising his right to freedom of speech.
The 49-year-old from east London said: “If you look at my speeches, I have said the same thing for 20 years. For me, it is a matter of worship.
“If people are implementing the Sharia, then I cannot shy away from what the divine text says in relationship to that.
“If you cannot say when you believe in something and you cannot share that view, then you don’t really have freedom to express yourself in this country.”
The jury took less than three days to find Choudary and his co-accused Mizanur Rahman, 32, unanimously guilty of inviting support for a terrorist organisation.
Choudary’s key lieutenant, Siddhartha Dhar, was arrested at the same time as him in police raids in 2014.
Dhar later skipped bail and fled to Syria with his young family, where he began taunting the UK authorities with a series of pictures and online posts.
He is also suspected of murdering a group of prisoners in an IS video released in January 2016.
Dhar, a Muslim convert now known as Abu Rumaysah, is believed to have replaced Mohammed Emwazi, the British IS killer nicknamed ‘Jihadi John’, as the terror group’s executioner in chief, after Emwazi was killed in a US airstrikes in November 2015.
Choudary’s conviction comes after a two-year, multimillion-pound investigation by Scotland Yard designed to bring to an end his two decades of extremist preaching.
The trial was the most crucial test of the limits of free speech in a decade, since the conviction of another hate preacher, Abu Hamza.
Choudary swore the oath of allegiance to the leader of IS after a meeting in an east London restaurant with a group of five followers.
It came just three days after Abu Bakr al Baghdadi declared he had re-established the ancient Islamic Caliphate.
Choudary and Rahman then delivered a series of lectures using religious passages to justify their support and urged others to follow their example.
One of the obligations both men talked about was to “make hijrah” – meaning to travel to the Islamic State – the court heard.

It’s good that Choudhury has finally been convicted by a court and we should celebrate this bit of justice. However we should not rest on our laurels of be complacent and think that a major problem has been removed. This is because the Muslim communities of Britain are producing many more like Choudhury every day. The threat to us all neither begins or ends with Choudhry. We will continue to face problems from the scores of other traitors and haters that Britain’s Islamic communities are churning out with all the efficiency of a demonic theological production line.
Choudhury won’t serve 10 years. His sentence will have been reduced by half for ‘good behaviour’ as soon as the prison van rolls through the gates of HMP Mecca. Meanwhile, he will be given special privileges, food, and recreational facilities because of his addiction to the cult of Islam. Watch out for complaints (and demands for compensation) because some unbeliever looked at his little book of lies in the wrong way, he was not given a gold compass to show which way is Eadt, or his prayer mat was frayed at one end. He may be banged up but he will continue to cause trouble.
Agree there he may get jail time but not ten years and neither will he serve that length of time. I also agree that this scumbag will spend his time inside engaging in lawfare jihad.
“East”. Damn this auto write thing!
