Why shouldn’t they laugh? As far as they’re concerned, they were attempting to do an act that was pleasing to Allah, and the British court proceedings are just an Infidel charade. “Terror Suspects Laugh in Court as they are Accused of Planning ‘Poppy Day Beheading,'” by Nick Hallett, Breitbart, November 21, 2014 (thanks to Pamela Geller):
Three Muslim men laughed in court yesterday as they were accused of plotting to behead a member of the public before Remembrance Sunday.
Cousins Nadir Sayed, 21, and Yousaf Sayed, 19, along with friend Haseeb Hamayoon, 27, smirked as the charges against them were read out, with prosecutors claiming they planned to commit a terror attack on British soil.
The men were arrested days before Remembrance Sunday this year, leading to fears that commemoration services may have been targeted, and causing security to be tightened around major events such as the Queen’s wreath laying at the Cenotaph on Whitehall, London.
They have been charged under the Terrorism Act 2006 with intending to commit acts of terrorism and preparing to commit those acts.
Speaking at Westminster Magistrates Court yesterday, prosecutor Rebecca Mundy said: “These are serious charges, the evidence of which has been set out in a lengthy case summary.
“In relation to that this appears to be an incident where there was an attack planned in the UK that seemed to be imminent in nature and would have involved the defendants acting together in beheading a member of the public, using knives to do so.”
Roads were temporarily closed as the men were taken to the court in armoured police vans. The Daily Mail reports that the men nudged each other and laughed as the beheading plot was outlined. Hamayoon also waved at family members in the public gallery.
They spoke only to confirm their names and addresses, and will next appear before the Old Bailey on 4 December. Lawyers have confirmed they will not apply for bail.
These were the latest in a series of arrests by British police since the UK joined the US-led coalition in airstrikes against Islamic State in Iraq. Britain’s terror alert level was raised over the summer to its second-highest level, meaning that an attack is considered highly likely.
The arrest of the three men led to concerns that they may have been planning to target the Queen. Her Majesty was applauded on Remembrance Sunday when she turned up at the Cenotaph anyway and laid a wreath as normal.

Laughter is common at early judicial proceedings . . . especially for IQ-absent UK Muslims soaked in 24 / 7 mind bending.
But without “Allah” available from an imam or cable Islamists, they will experience the insanity they so completely merit.

Will the improvements never stop? Just when I think JW couldn’t improve any more, zap, another improvement.

Me, I could do without this latest redecoration.
Because I don’t know how it’s coming up on other people’s browsers, but on *my* preferred browser, the text of the featured article is showing up grey-on-grey, which is *fiendishly difficult* for me to read, given my poor eyesight…headaches, here we come. And when I’m typing in the comment box, like now, same deal: grey-on-grey. Expect lots more typos from me, from now on.
And the other thing that’s driving me batty is that there doesn’t seem to be any “next” and “previous” button to navigate quickly and in chronological order from story to story.
I keep having to go back to the homepage and scrolling down. Which chews up a lot of time, if you’ve been away for a day or two and are trying to “catch up”.
I liked the old format better. It was easier to read and easier and faster to navigate.

Dumbledoresarmy- You might try changing the settings in your “accessibility options” in your control panel.
I use a “high contrast theme” which makes almost everything white text on a black background.
It’ll change the entire look of your computer, though, and not just this particular site.
Just a thought.
dumbledoresarmy says
White text on black background? Not for me…that would make things worse, not better.
Salah says
“there doesn’t seem to be any “next” and “previous” button”
There is, check the upper left corner of the title of the article, two little (very little) red arrows!!!
dumbledoresarmy says
Very small arrows?
WHERE??
I looked where you said (or where I thought you said) and I can’t see anything at all.
Ken D says
Dumblesoresarmy-
There are other color scheme options in the “accessibility” settings. You’re not restricted to white on black. That’s just what works for me.
BTW, I can’t find the little “previous” and “next” arrows either (though I never knew they existed in the first place and have gotten used to working without them….)
But once I found out about them I hovered my mouse all over the top left corner and no icons could be found. (Thanks anyway Salah).
gungadin says
COUNT ME IN in your corner…..I despise this new format!!
jewdog says
Snickering in court, are they? Who says there’s no humor or fun in Islam? Give them a sword and they will laugh your head off.
dumbledoresarmy says
Muslims may laugh at British Infidels.
But, more and more, British Infidels are hardening in attitude toward Muslims.
A view from the grassroots may be read, here. Not in the article itself, which is discussing all the British-passport-holding Muslims who are currently believed to be wallowing in the Syrian jihad bloodbath, but in one of the “asides” from the redoubtable Esmerelda Weatherwax, presenting it.
http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/57651
Article: “The Muslim Council of Britain, which represents the UK’s 2.8 million Muslims, accused the Government of not doing enough to stop would-be jihadists from leaving the country. The Home Office has refused to disclose how many jihadists have been picked up at Britain’s borders. ”
Esmerelda’s acerbic “aside”, with remark on the vox populi – “I heard the news about the two jihadists killed while in a small art gallery in rural Suffolk. The lady proprietor was reading the news on her laptop and called to her husband “Good news – another two of them jihadists dead!” The general opinion amongst people I speak to while out and about (hardly a scientific sample I admit) is that as many as wish should be allowed to go, but none allowed re-entry.”
END QUOTE
Let’s run that past again, and think about it, shall we? In a small art gallery in rural Suffolk, “The lady proprietor was reading the news on her laptop and called to her husband “Good news – another two of them jihadists dead!””
Me, I’d say that if one political party in the UK incorporated in its election platform the following – 1/ total ban on all further entry of Muslims into the UK and 2/ annulling of citizenship/ residency and passports of all “British” jihadis currently in Syria, so as to prevent their ever returning – they’d win in a landslide.
Charli Main says
“The lady proprietor was reading the news on her laptop and called to her husband “Good news – another two of them jihadists dead!””
This lady was lucky that she wasn’t overheard by a PC Dhimmni Muslim water carrier or she would of ended up being arrested for condoning religious and racial hatred of Muslims.
Even quoting Winston Churchill will get you seeing the inside of a prison.
Hell, even Churchill himself would probably have been arrested and jailed, for inflaming anti Muslim sentiment, in modern Britain.
Aardvark says
Neverthe less, more and more native UK residents are thinking that they’ve had enough of this barbarian mohammedan nonsense.
And they can’t arrest you for what you are thinking.
as1mov says
Not yet anyway, let’s see how our ‘ill-informed’ or deliberately hiding the true facts Government decides how they can ‘massage’ the numbers so as to sound more politically correct. The Westminster Government (no matter which of the three main parties you choose.) have always and will always hide the truth from the electorate.
Westminster politicians will jump on any bandwagon that gets them the votes they need to keep them in the manner to which they have become accustomed.
Believe it or not! there are moslems in the British Upper House of the parliament?
All moslems supporting any order other than that of the country that has given them the freedon, education and health service, they would never have had in most islamic states, and should be immediately sent to the islamic state they support, lock,stock and bloody barrel.

Churchill said ‘islam is to men, as hydrophobia is to dogs’
Never a truer word……………..

I’m curious if this might permeate some doubt with the Muslim college uni kids and that charity week event across the uk which had its second year in Canada. A lot of them well meaning kids who sigh over the romance their prophet had with the wives and that he’d never struck a woman or believe the koranic myths of science. It’s pretty well a guarantee of getting preached at when the yearly culture fest comes round.
gravenimage says
…the romance their phophet had with the wives…
…………………..
Not a lot of romance there, tama—many of his wives were captives and sex slaves, and one, infamously, was a little nine-year-old child.
More broadly, I think that the idea that large numbers of Muslims are simply ignorant of the violence of their faith is misplaced. Given what is happening in so much of the world, I think it is quite clear that many Muslims know all too much about the vicious tenets of their creed.
Salah says
They’re laughing because they KNOW they’ll only get a slap on the wrist!
mortimer says
Muslims despise Remembrance Day ceremonies because they are sacred celebrations of FREEDOM. Muslims despise freedom and want to replace it with theocratic fascism.
Islam is theocratic fascism.

Three Muslim men laughed in court yesterday as they were accused of plotting to behead a member of the public before Remembrance Sunday.
If I am not mistaken,they were planning to assassinate the Queen on Rememberance Day. The MSM do not want the British public to know about this “plot”
Mathew says
I am an Indian and I am appalled at the utter stupidity of the Europeans and Americans in dealing with Muslims.
Muslims say that terrorism is due to the interference by the West in Middle East. And Western leaders go all weak in the knees trying to appease Muslims because they believe that somehow the West is culpable. The westerners must realise that it is only a ploy used by Muslims to guilt-trip the West. I am hereby demolishing that Muslim lie. I am not a westerner and I cannot be accused of being racist.
Let me put just two questions to Muslims and let any Muslim in the world reply if he can:
1) Come on tell me, which of these following countries or people have interfered in the Middle East or done any harm to Muslims or Muslim nations that you carry out massacres, bomb blasts and terrorist attacks almost everyday: These are your innocent victims: the Buddhists of Sri Lanka, of Myanmar (formerly Burma), Christians of the Philippines, the ethnic Chinese of Xinjiang and other places, the Hindus of India, black Christians of Nigeria who are killed by the dozen by Muslims everyday, of Pakistan, the Coptic Christians of Egypt and non-Muslims in a few dozen countries more.
They have only welcomed you into their country, given you shelter, protection and dignity. You repay them with bombs and AK-47s.
Of course you are following Muhammad, who was welcomed, given shelter and protection by the Jews, Christians and polytheists of Madina. These trusting people’s large-heartedness turned out to be their death warrant. In a few years, Muhammad exiled the Christians and some Jewish tribes from Arabia and beheaded an entire Jewish tribe, and massacred or forcibly converted the polytheists.
RETURNING PURE EVIL FOR GOODNESS.
You have problems with ALL other people in ALL the continents, from across Asia, through Africa, Europe and all the way to America. Still you repeat the childish argument of provocation by the West?
And there are any number of brain-damaged westerners who lap it all up!!!!!
Imagine Muslims wanting to kill the Queen of a country that has given them freedom, education, protection, and just about everything which they can only dream of in their stone age countries?
Even we in India feel outraged no end at such a satanic ingratitude. Still the western leaders act as if nothing is happening!!!. Why don’t the people of Europe and America test your leaders’ heads for brains? Does it really exist in their heads?
2) My second questions to Muslims: Let any Muslim in the world answer this one too if he can:
You accuse westerners who criticise Islam as racists, Now tell me: Are all the non-Muslims in India, Sri Lankan, Burma, the Philippines, Egypt, and Pakistanis racist? Obviously that cannot be, because these non-Muslims belong to the same race groups as Muslims. Why do you think that all these non-Muslims dread you and detest you like the plague? These people are at the receiving end of massacres and brutality by Muslims. Are ALL of them RACIST in accusing Muslims of being violent and barbarian?
Such accusation works in the West because of the white man’s historical hangups. But we have no such problems. We can tell them the truth in their face. These barbarians cannot play such a silly trick with us.
The West need not feel apologetic about its past. Though it has colonised countries in Africa and Asia, it has given to those countries as much as, if not more than, it has taken from them.
Note that Muslims have problems with all the other religions around the world: Christians, Hindus, Jews, Buddhists, and Sikhs. Note that no other religion has any problem that cuts across territories and ethnicities with other religions.
If there are 10 persons in a room, and one of them has problems with the rest 9, who is likely to be the guilty party? Muslims have always argued that the problem lies with the rest 9.
Instead of living in perpetual denial, Muslims must introspect. Because when the entire world blames you for something, you better take note. Living in denial and accusing the rest of the world of Islamophobia is totally illogical. ALL THE REST of the WORLD cannot be pschologically unwell and suffering from some phobia.
Muslims, if they introspect, will find that it is they who are mentally unsound. They are yet to catch up with the rest of the world in spiritual and civilisational growth and maturity. Learn to think critically and logically and you will see how pathetic your justification is.
I have a request to all Muslims: Though you pray five times a day, have you ever asked God to reveal himself?
The next time before you go to bed, says this simple prayer: Allah, if you are true God, reveal yourself and prove it to me, so I can serve you. Wait for an answer and repeat it for some days.
NOW, after some days, when Allah seems to be non-existent or deaf, say the following prayer and go to bed:
God, reveal to me your true nature. Who is true God? Allah or Christ? I am confused but sincere in saying this prayer. Help me to find the truth.
THEN JUST GO TO BED.
God always answers such a sincere prayer. And believe me, you will find the truth.
Amen.

Well said Matthew!
Johnd says
Exactly right Matthew. Islam is certainly the most stupid religion ever, that makes idiots of its followers. Of course, that is one of its great dangers. Never a religion, but for ever a cult.

UK: Muslims laugh in court as they’re accused of beheading plot
…………………………….
This doesn’t surprise me—savagery is one of the few things pious Muslims find amusing.
And then, they have no respect for civilized Infidel courts of law—so they frequently show their disdain for anything besides barbaric Shari’ah.
