How many more young men like him are in Sharia Britannia? I know, I know: it’s “Islamophobic” and “bigoted” to ask.
UK Death Watch Update: “College student faces jail for trying to run off to join Isil,” by Tom Whitehead, Telegraph, June 17, 2015 (thanks to Anne Crockett):
A college student who made a poster saying “Islam Will Dominate The World” as part of an IT project is facing jail for trying to run off to join Isil.
Syed Choudhury, 19, became radicalised by older men shortly after leaving his Bradford home to attend college in Cardiff, the Old Bailey was told.
He was heard saying gay people should be killed and they would go to hell before making plans to travel to Syria to join the terror group also known as Islamic State.
Yet gays in the U.S. for the most part side with their oppressors and denounce as “Islamophobes” those who call attention to that oppression.
On the first day of his scheduled trial, Choudhury pleaded guilty to preparing acts of terrorism.
The court heard he fell under the influence of older men he regarded as more learned after he left home in Bradford to attend Cardiff and Vale College.
His extreme religious views first surfaced in 2012 when he began a course in business administration, IT, key skills and car mechanics at Cardiff and Vale College.
As part of an IT project, he made a poster reading Islam Will Dominate The World Freedom Can Go To Hell.
In May 2013, Choudhury left college with qualifications at a level below GCSE and went to Bangladesh for a few months before returning to Cardiff where he stayed with an aunt and uncle.
He had saved around £3,000 from working in a fast food restaurant and other unskilled jobs so he did have the means to carry out his wish of going to Syria, prosecutor Sarah Whitehouse QC said.
In 2014, he came to the attention of anti-radicalisation group Prevent after he attended a demonstration about the Gaza conflict brandishing a banner stating Islamic State will bring peace to the Middle East.
But he became angry and aggressive and rebuffed their approaches, the court heard.
What? They couldn’t convince him of the true, peaceful Islam?
He went on to search the Internet for topics including 10 reasons to join Isis, Turkey Travel, Jihadist Highway and How To travel To Syria These Days.
And he networked on Twitter for advice on how to join Isis in Syria.
He continued to download extremist material including the image of Jihadi John before he beheaded a Western hostage.
He also had a video of a mass shooting and images of western leaders behind walls of flame….
He told officers the only reason he had not gone to Syria yet was because he wanted to find someone he trusted to go with.
Choudhury also spoke of his support for Isis, that he did not care about the UK and its laws and he wanted to be the one to bring Sharia law to the UK.In mitigation, his lawyer Abdul Iqbal QC said the case showed a “lack of sophistication, some naivety and level of immaturity”.
“He was openly using Facebook and Twitter accounts that could link to him to post material that was highly incriminating.
“There appears to be no attempt at all to disguise his involvement or insulate himself from detection.”
The barrister said Choudhury now felt embarrassed by some of the things he said in police interview.
And he had been susceptible to “older men who he regarded as more learned that him” who plied him with extremist ideas.
Where did those “older men” get their “extremist ideas”? No one seems to care in Modern, Moderate Britain.
The court heard Choudhury had an unhappy start in life. His mother was a British citizen and his father was Bangladeshi and had never lived in the UK.
When his mother abandoned him days after his birth, he was brought up by relatives in Bradford.
Ah, so you see, Officer Krupke, he’s depraved on account-a he’s deprived.
Choudhury appeared in court wearing a black prayer cap and all black clothes to enter his guilty plea….
Not that this has anything to do with Islam.
Peter Buckley says
Why bother keeping him here at taxpayers’ expense?
Let the clown go to see his “brothers” in dar-al-Islam.
It’s worth noting some of the columnists over here in the UK are starting to say what the majority believe:
LET THEM GO!

I’ve yet to hear anyone ask a politician what is gained by not allowing them to leave………
Dan says
The problem with letting these people go, is that we then ARE responsible, in that we knowingly allowed someone to go murder someone else.
Even if we were bombing the snot out of Islamists, as we had the Nazis, it would still be immoral to simply let these nut jobs join their cause, as it will only prolong the war.
For almost ten years after the Second World War, Nazi guerrilla teams called Werewolves violently continued the Nazi cause, terrorizing German officials and citizens cooperating with the surrender by kidnapping, torturing, and murdering.
Whenever they were caught, they were shot on the spot.
No trial.
No nothing.
It’s too late to play nicey nice anymore with anybody wanting to join the likes of ISIS.
Free choices have been made, and with free choice comes taking responsibility for your actions.
Don McKellar says
Unfortunately, we’re going to have a Third World War before your idea will happen. It’s already started in the Middle East/Northern Africa and is escalating fast.
Dan says
And that’s the problem.
We’ve come to the point where things are most likely going to get a lot worse before they get better.
Don McKellar says
“Why bother keeping him here at taxpayers’ expense? Let the clown go to see his “brothers” in dar-al-Islam.”
Well, you are exactly correct. Expel and quarantine. Any idiots who don’t get how logical that is seem to point to some Christians he may or may not terrorize over there. And their point is??? It doesn’t seem to click in their tiny little heads that he’s going to do the same thing here as soon as he gets a chance!!! And until he gets that chance, now he’s going to suck out a whole bunch of the kuffar’s money being coddled in prison for a few years, no doubt even getting halal meals, and banging his head on the floor five times a day as his dedication to the death cult of the moon god grows even stronger until he’s a complete mad dog when he gets out.

Drop him over Raqqa with a mo-chute – opens on impact.

Hey sonny, you gonna learn car mechanics?
Ever seen the ‘golden rivet’?
Just touch your toes…
Babs says
I quite agree but with one serious reservation – I doubt that Theresa May or this government has the will or the power to prevent their return. Add to that the fact that far too many in the Border Agency are similarly “minded” to these wretches, and that boosts my argument.

ISLAMIC RADICAL CHIC is prevalent…epidemic…among Muslim youth, but police and intelligence agencies have not seen it! They are not looking for RADICAL CHIC among youth! Idiots!
Raised in UK, Syed Choudhury preferred not to move to the very Islamic Bangla Desh, but to stay in UK and DESTROY IT.
‘Older men’…???
Is anyone else here thinking ‘ANJEM CHOUDARY’?
spot on says
Mortimer, Trying to trace back the “why” of each individual Muslim Jihadist is like tracing the interactions of the fishes in the sea. It always seems somehow that someone will bring up the “root” cause of criminals but with Jihadists they somehow never do. Jihadists get a pass. This tells me that many normally wise people are quite willing to be intellectually dishonest with themselves so that their dreams their utopia can come true.
The hard irrefutable fact is that the youth in question here is simply following the instructions in the Koran, verbatim. He is emulating Mohammed. Mohammed is his Prophet and and ally. He is a soldier of Islam. He wants others to join his religion and will use force, if necessary, as Mohammed did.
For those who have never studied religion, Christians emulate Jesus Christ. Christ taught, helped, and healed people. He did not form armies like Mohammed to force his religion down their throats. Christ’s actions show that he was a firm believer in the “Golden Rule”. Mohammed’s actions clearly showed he did not follow the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule is more important to civilization than anyone would want to believe. This is why the Muslims are barbarians and Christians are not.

But of course! I have always thought that Motormouth was MI5 “stalking horse” type loon who would lure out from under their stones the ignoramuses who shoot off their mouths before engaging their brains.
Angemon says
And whose fault is it he felt emboldened enough he didn’t even had to try to hide his allegiances?
Let me rephrase that. Why is it that he felt he could get away with openly saying the islamic supremacist trite he he spewed in 21st century Great Britain?

‘Let my people go’, says Allah…And we should let his people go, but not let them come back. You made your bed Abu, now lay in it…

It is unfortunate that Syed Choudhury is cute. He was looking to dominate, no doubt thinking that for Sultan or Sheik he would self-nominate, but now… into the pokey.
I just hope he doesn’t end up sharing a cell with some assertive guy wearing hobnail boots, a leather mask, and one of those black leather dog collars with silver metal studs. Ouch.
Someone in here noted last week that a big part of New Caliphate popularity among the young crowd is that it’s cool, so join them or appear to join them in their high ideals and the girls will think you’re cool. So much the worse for all of use. It’s tough enough sorting through millions of Moslem looking for nascent mass murders, like looking for a needle in a haystack. We don’t need just being cool fake Moslems to make the haystack any taller than it already is.
Richie says
If he wasn’t a fat old man, I suspect George Galloway, treasonous scum that he is would have joined Isis/Islamic State by now

For those not in the UK. A GCSE is the qualification awarded (or not) to those studying to age 16 at school. According to this artcile this bloke went to college at age 16 , presumably having failed GCSEs, to study at a level below GCSE. That tends to give the clue about his academic abilities.
