Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Muslima charged with encouraging terrorism on Twitter

Nov 27, 2014 7:04 pm By Robert Spencer

Twitter2It is unfortunate that the British authorities are so unreflective that they never seem to consider the question of why what they consider to be an un-Islamic misunderstanding of Islam is so widespread. Nor do they ask themselves why mosque authorities are doing nothing to combat this misunderstanding.

“Woman charged with encouraging terrorism on Twitter,” by Keith Perry, the Telegraph, November 27, 2014:

A woman has been charged by police with encouraging terrorism on Twitter.

Alaa Abdullah Esayed, 22, of Kennington in south London, will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on December 10, the Metropolitan Police said.

She has been charged with two offences under the Terrorism Act – encouraging terrorism, and the dissemination of terrorist publications.

Esayed was originally arrested in June.

Police said one of the charges related to posts on Esayed’s Twitter account, together with photographs and video links.

The charge states: “She intended, or was reckless as to whether, members of the public would be directly or indirectly encouraged or otherwise induced by the statement to commit, prepare or instigate acts of terrorism or convention offences”.

She is also accused of providing a service that enabled others “to obtain, read, listen to or look at a terrorist publication, by providing links to speeches and other propaganda, and at the time of doing so intended an effect of her conduct to be a direct or indirect encouragement or other inducement to the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism”.

The woman was released on bail.

    What have we done to cause this?
    Surely we non-Muslims must be to blame?

    Then again,
    it might have something to do with the Mecca black stone worshipping Muhammad declaring war against the non-Muslim world 1400 years a go in order to prop up his outlandish claim of of being a prophet by hiding in the fog of chaos.

    “The woman was released on bail.”

    A slap on the wrist, that’s all she’ll get.
    We are at war, a new kind of war. Unless we adapt we are doomed.
    Laws must change, punishments must be more severe, the death penalty must be reinstated, traitors must be executed, PC idiots must be removed from power, Islam must be banned, immigration laws must change so that persecuted minorities are able to live a decent life while keeping Muslims away from us, foreign aid must be proportional to human rights standards, drilling must be allowed, new sources of energy must see the light, nuclear energy must be promoted despite the “green” idiots, etc.
    We can’t fight Islamic terrorism the same way we fight regular armies.

    “The woman was released on bail.”

    I’m sure by now she realizes the errors of her ways, and will show up for her court date and take her punishments with great sorrow and humility.

    I wonder if there may be a case for suing for wrongful arrest. Encouraging others to commit , prepare and instigate acts of violence. She provided a service that enabled others to obtain , read , listen or look at a terrorist publication. Now if this women encouraged others to go forth and strike the necks of unbelievers, she has only then to claim that she has done so on the directive of Allah. I would like to see the British legal system tackle that.
