U.K.'s ‘Lyrical Terrorist’ gets suspended sentence

Samina Malik Update. "Britain: ‘Lyrical Terrorist’ Spared Prison," from Agence France-Presse:

Samina Malik, a 23-year-old who last month became the first Muslim woman to be convicted of a terrorism offense in Britain, was given a suspended nine-month prison sentence and 100 hours of community service. Ms. Malik, who called herself the “lyrical terrorist” in online forums because she thought it was “cool” and posted poems with titles like “How to Behead,” was convicted in the same London court of possessing records likely to be useful in terrorism, mostly jihadist manuals from the Web. Many among Britain’s 1.6 million Muslims said she should not have been prosecuted, describing her actions as foolish and offensive, but not criminal. Before the sentencing, Muhammad Abdul Bari, the head of the Muslim Council of Britain, the country’s largest Muslim organization, told The Times of London that “many young people download objectionable material from the Internet, but it seems that if you are a Muslim, then this could lead to terrorist charges, even if you have absolutely no intention to do harm to anyone else.”

Yes, many young people do download all manner of things from the Internet, but for law enforcement to get involved, common sense suggests a criterion of how likely the bearer is to use the downloaded material in a way that constitutes a danger to public safety. Jihadist manuals, coupled with the content of her poetry, obviously raise a few red flags (and the age of 23 is getting a bit old to be playing the "youth" card). An excerpt from the New York Sun:

"It's not as messy or as hard as some may think," she wrote in her poem "How to Behead." "It's all about the flow of the wrist. Sharpen the knife to its maximum. And before you begin to cut the flesh, tilt the fool's head to its left. Saw the knife back and forth. No doubt that the punk will twitch and scream. But ignore the donkey's ass. And continue to slice back and forth. You'll feel the knife hit the wind and food pipe. But Don't Stop. Continue with all your might."

Emily Dickinson, she ain't.

Ain't that the truth. Emily was sweet. Samina is poison.

Yeah, the usual suspects been hard at work to get her off.

* Because in the realm of the Brownnoses, the Straws and Red Ken’s, the “M”-word must not be spoken, “Islamic” terrorism doesn’t exist any longer, and agit-props like Tariq Ramadan lecture freely at honorable institutions of higher learning. In this realm of tolerance rabid Islamofascists are made into ‘Barons’ and ‘Lords’ and are allowed to call the shots in parliament, because they make sure Britains rapidly growing armies of Muhammedans vote Labor. And Britain’s socialists have no qualms replacing the natives with an Islamic proletariat, much more reliable to keep one’s seat and to bring about the socialist utopia, innit?

Young Muslims are being convicted of thought crimes and branded as terrorists for life, the country’s most prominent Islamic leader has told The Times. Muhammad Abdul Bari said police and prosecutors were criminalising youths for harbouring “silly thoughts” and were undermining Gordon Brown’s £400 million drive to win Muslim hearts and minds. Dr Bari, Secretary-General of the Muslim Council of Britain, was commenting ahead of the sentencing today of Samina Malik, a shop assistant who styled herself as “the lyrical terrorist”, wrote poetry in praise of beheadings and joined extremist internet forums.

It was clear from the comments by two politicians - one Liberal and one Conservative on the BBC's flagship "Today" programme last Monday that she was going to get off.

The B---s--- Broadcasting Corporation portrayed her as a dizzy little shop assistant. They somehow overlooked the fact that the shop she worked at was at Heathrow Airport.

What I would like to know is does she still work there and does she still have her air side pass?

The police defended (yes defended!) their action pointing out that if there was an attack and she had been discovered afterwards they would have been blamed for doing nothing.

BTW One other thing that came out was that she was picked up as a result of a major investigation that is still in progress. The implication seemed to be they had arrested someone else on much more serious charges but that was all.

Robert, I read this sentence on some-site :
"Ms. Malik was convicted of collecting information, without reasonable excuse, of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism."

The UK law could filter your site, because they (the misfits)could argue, JW incite terrorism, though we are exposing the terrorists side of Islam.

And now, the British police will need increase their prescence to cope with the rabid Britons rioting, protesting that her sentence was too lenient, and calling for her execution by firing squad after leaving church Sunday.

Oh, wait. Never mind.

Is anyone surprised by this?
They should have deported the little to someplace where she could practice her sick "poetic" fantasies.

Is this the same Great Britain that produced Winston Churchill?
Is treason a crime in this country?
If this level of political correctness exists now because politicians wish to pander to a relatively small voting bloc, what will Great Britain be like after the coming decades of unchecked Islamic population growth?

I would hardly call her a poet.

The looney dhimmi left seem to be hanging this tag
onto this individual.

I have looked everywhere in my house but I just
can't find any weapons manuals or instruction
books about how to make poisons to use so as to
murder non muslim people.

I would suggest Abdul Bari, who dismissed her behaviour as "silly thoughts" to perhaps table a proposal to Downing St to ask the Prime Minister to set up a "Ministry of Silly Thoughts".

Now that is frighteningly Pythonesque.

Hmmm ... think she'll plant a few bombs while she's cleaning the streets?

What a paragon of feminine gentility, grace and attractiveness.

Get her sponsored by Rosie O'Donnel, and there is no telling what beautiful artistic endeavors they could they could embark on together.

Hell, get her on the NYTimes editorial board.

Mercy

Will not get you
anything
But Hirsi-less

The Brits are still trying to smile at their invaders, in an attempt to disarm them, instead of fighting them.

This verminous little scumbag actually worked on the air side in a WH Smith stationers in Heathrow airport. She wrote on the back of a till receipt "every day my desire to become a martyr increases".

And our courts give her a suspended sentence? What sort of message does that send other than to let the terrorists know that if they use muslim women to spread their information, no one will get punished. Still, this is in a country that allows a wanted male terrorist to walk straight through security and board a flight clad in a burkha.

It's only a matter of time before we have another terrorist attack in this country, and a big one at that. The attack, when it comes will be ably assisted by this government and judicial system because of their concern for "human rights".

What is more disturbing is that our government and judiciary seem to be actually trying to help these people destroy our culture.

On the bright side however, the people of the UK are beginning to wake up to the threat Islam poses to the UK. The more the muslims shout about how hard done by they are (even thought they are not hard done by at all) the more the people start to ask what they are going on about, and why they are being so deceitful. We a re constantly told that most muslims are against islamofascism but seeing is believeing, and what we dont see is many of the muslim population actually standing up and being counted.

Personal add:

Searching for young female who enjoys romantic walks on the beach, candlelit dinners, and sawing off the heads of twitching screaming infidels. Please send picture. Note: No hair, skin, or outline of the body should be visable. If no portrait is available, send picture of a garbage bag. Praise Allah.

What an attractive personality she exhibits via her poetry. She doesn't need community service, she needs to be locked away in a mental ward.

This sentence was pure stupid cowardice. She was obviously trying to encourage militant Muslims to behead infidels. After the terrorism experienced in Britain and elsewhere this cannot be passed off as immature fooling around and she should have been given maximum prison time for her crime. I think the British are trying to live a fantasy that their world really hasn’t changed very much, that it's still peace time Britain and that all that’s needed is a only a little more watchfulness while being still a tolerant and sensitive multicultural society – this is just monumental British stupidity and the Muslims are probably amazed & delighted at it.

Wouldn't it be poetic justice if she was beheaded during an honor killing...any one in England want to help make that happen?

Just lure her into a compromising situation with large cash money enticement, and take good quality video of her with infidel male. Then send tape to all known family members and local mosque...especially to local mosque with extra copies given to all Imams in attendance.

Then, just to be sure, make a well publicized donation to the "Wings of Eagles" foundation in her name, helping out Russian jews become settled in Israel.

Then mail her Torahs, Israeli flags, pornography, lots of Lesbian literature, Jewish literature, and Christian literature, spy novels, etc.

Then, if possible make it look like she is an American or Western Operative by having an American friend greet her with enthusiasm and a wink.

All that need be done is sow the right seeds of mistrust. Use these idiots' paranoia against themselves at all times.

Sit back and have a Guiness or a Harp and wait for the inevitable. Cheers, Mates!

If that does not work, put her in the Iron Maiden...up the irons!!!

Or send "Bigby" from the movie Trainspotting...OY!

“When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Jest roll to your rifle and blow out your brains
An’ go to your Gawd like a soldier.
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
Go, go, go like a soldier,
So-oldier of the Queen!”

As a lyrical Islamophobe, I am even more afraid now.
