Anjem Choudary, one of the most controversial radical clerics in the UK, has been convicted of inviting others to support the so-called Islamic State group.

Choudary was convicted alongside his close confidant, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman.
The trial heard how the men decided in the summer of 2014 that the group then known as Isis [Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham/the Levant] had formed a "Khilafah", or Islamic State, that demanded the obedience and support of Muslims.

They then invited others to support IS through speeches and announced their own oath of allegiance to its leader.

About time. He used to get invited to PressTV debates when they wanted someone who expressed the fanatic, vicious bile of Al Qaeda while at the same time embarrassing the UK by running around freely.

Pleased with the result. Not sure about the route to achieving that result.

Do we agree on something?

Hopefully someone will shiv the both of them when they are in the slammer.

That was about time.

Any idea on what the sentencing is going to be?

He was Radical Islam's version of Lord Haw Haw. Hope he gets the stiffiest sentence you can get for that offense.

Send them both to Isis?

Haw Haw was executed for treason.

Haw Haw was executed for treason.

I meant more in terms of being a progagandist. Not sure that treason would stick to Choudary.

I'm pretty sure we agree on a lot of issues. If you wouldn't allow yourself to be brainwashed by corporate media, I'm sure the lot would even increase.

Strapped to the tip of a Hellfire missile?

More seriously, that could be a fun experiment. Born and raised comfortably in the UK, how long would he last there, until it turns out he's unconsciously picked up all kinds of "western" values that don't conform with ISIS values and he gets into conflict with his hosts?

Wish I had said that (first line)!!!! And sometime, somewhere I am sure I will!!!!!!!!!

My usual suggestion for such is they be flown back to wherever they came from and dropped off back home. From 3-4000 feet and without the courtesy of a parachute. I trust they will have a big impression upon the locals awaiting their arrival home!!!!!

Anjem Choudary was born in London!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that this is not the case. Two more "martyrs" to the ISIS cause is not what we need.

Maximum of ten years, apparently.

Just to help out, we could make sure they're aware of the picture that often does the rounds on social media.

It shows a young AC posing with porno mags, beside a pub table full of booze.

The concern for me is if he is in the general prison population whether he will continue to influence people. I suspect in the enclosed limited environment of a prison "radicalisation" would be much more effective and easier to achieve.

Yes, good point. I'm not sure how you deal with that without infringing on Anjem Choudary's human rights.
