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

UK Muslim guilty of promoting Islamic State on Facebook

Feb 21, 2015 6:01 am By Robert Spencer

Islamic StateThere is no telling how many British Muslims are engaged in such activities. Hassan Munir was caught, but with British officials spending so much of their time and resources hounding foes of jihad terror, there are no doubt others who are proceeding undetected.

“Bradford man guilty of promoting terrorist group on Facebook,” Halifax Courier, February 21, 2015:

A 27-year-old man from West Yorkshire has pleaded guilty to posting a link to an IS propaganda magazine on his public Facebook page.

Hassan Munir, of Heaton, Bradford, admitted disseminating an electronic file of the terrorist publication on October 14 last year.

Mr Justice Saunders adjourned sentencing to a date to be fixed following a brief hearing at the Old Bailey.

The charge stated that: “Hassan Munir, on the 14th day of October 2014 provided a service to others, namely posted an electronic link on his publicly accessible Facebook profile that enabled them to obtain, read, listen to or look at a terrorist publication, namely Dabiq 4.”

Dabiq is the title of an online magazine used by the terrorist organisation Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant for propaganda and recruitment.

    Hang on a second this is really worrying, if the reason for his trial as stated is simply providing a link to the IS magazine, because that’s what lots of critics of IS have also done, in order to facilitate people seeing what they are really up to. So, although this might be relatively good news that someone promoting jihad is being dealt with, the way in which it’s expressed is highly worrying. I think I’ve told people about Dabiq myself. Oops.

      I was just thinking the same thing! I’m not saying *this* guy is innocent, but it sounds as if counterjihadists could get banged up just for a post saying “Look at this psychotic stuff” with a link.

      Excellent point, Paula.

      Once we concede the principle that people can be criminally charged for very vague references and links, the authorities have complete control over any speech. And, the speech most likely to be targeted is anti-jihad speech.

      Unfortunately, the last things which British government seems interested in maintaining are freedom and physical security.

      Yes, this is very surprising. JW and Blazing Catfur (where I got my copy) have disseminated it. They of course do not come under British law but I’d be surprised if they don’t have something similar in the US and Canada.

      Come to that I’ve disseminated it (or part of it) but I’m not in Britain and the particular offence is not extra-territorial (phew). The relevant section doesn’t say anything about intentions so it could be used equally (or more likely unequally!) against the likes of us.

      This is the section:

      Disseminating terrorist publications (Section 2): Prohibits the dissemination of a publication which is either (a) likely to be understood as directly or indirectly encouraging terrorism, or (b) includes information which is likely to be understood as being useful in the commission or preparation of an act of terrorism. The maximum penalty is seven years’ imprisonment.

    Isn’t it true that Facebook routinely takes down posts that are offensively controversial? Seriously, maybe somebody out there can weigh in on that. How long was this incitement to Jihad posted up on this guy’s wall? Does the great “inventor” “technologist” Mark Zuckerberg harbor secret feelings for mujahidin?

    So many questions. Say, ex-VP near-Prez Al Gore invented the Internet, maybe he’s got the answers. Hell, if he could figure out the advanced stochastical algorithms to solve the fluid dynamics of the earth’s atmosphere, he surely knows what’s going on with Mark.

    Now is the time to report ANY muslims doing any activity that would support, encourage, fund, or promote the jihad. Flags, bumper stickers, t-shirts, tweets, Facebook posts, etc.

    The police and secret service can’t watch everyone. Help from every single citizen will be helpful in catching these murders before they can cause more damage.

    Huh, since when is this a crime in the UK?

    Give him a snorkel and some flippers, take away his passport and let him swim to his brothers in Syria.

    Facebook most often refuses to remove these types of pages, posts and comments, even after large numbers of us report them and protest.

    There is no such thing as a moderate muslim, how do I know, all muslims I have spoken too face to face and on the internet show the same thing…. they lie to disguise islams actuall teachings… and they are lying intentionally.

    Now since lying to disiguise and advance islam is only done when muslims are in inferior numbers, so that they can infiltrate more and grow in numbers untill they can KILL US…

    What would you argue is moderate?
