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

UK: Muslim teen who said “gay people should be killed” gets 40 months at youth home for supporting the Islamic State

Jul 11, 2015 1:16 pm By Robert Spencer

Syed-ChoudhuryWhat happens when he gets out? What will be done at the young offenders’ institution over the next three years and four months to disabuse Syed Choudhury of his jihadist notions? Why, nothing, of course. To attempt something like that would be “Islamophobic.”

“The Cardiff extremist who wanted to join Islamic State in Syria: How police caught their man,” by Huw Silk, Wales Online, July 7, 2015:

A teenager from Cardiff who planned to travel to Syria to join so-called Islamic State (IS) was caught after taking part in a demonstration in the Welsh capital last summer, police have said.

Police have revealed details of their investigation after Syed Choudhury was sentenced to 40 months’ detention at a young offenders’ institution.

The 19-year-old, from the Grangetown area of the city, pleaded guilty to a charge under the Terrorism Act when he appeared at the Old Bailey last month.

And the Cardiff and Vale College student’s sentencing on Tuesday came almost a year after taking part in a protest march in Cardiff, which saw some participants waving the distinctive black-and-white IS flag.

Marched through Cardiff

Choudhury first drew attention to himself when he took part in a march along Queen Street.

It prompted an investigation by the Wales Extremism and Counter Terrorism Unit and the North East Counter Terrorism Unit.

Choudhury was arrested just over four months later, on December 4 last year, at his home address in Allerton Street, Grangetown, on suspicion of supporting a banned organisation.

On his Twitter feed, which also depicted Choudhury apparently wearing an IS shirt, he posted a link to a Washington Post story about an American soldier shot dead in California with the message “Justice served”.
‘Gay people should be killed’

On the day of his arrest he sent three messages which read: “Islam is a beautiful religion. That can solve all the problem (sic). That can give rights to the people. Who can be so blind not to follow it.”

He had also been heard saying “gay people should be killed and go to hell”.

Under questioning at a Cardiff police station Choudhury was described by officers as being “openly supportive” of IS – and claimed he would travel to Syria to “fight for the cause”.

He also agreed with the principle of martyrdom and the “violent rejection of other faiths and democratic ideologies”.
Pleaded guilty to terror charge

Choudhury, who is originally from Bradford, was subsequently arrested on suspicion of another offence – engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts.

Having been granted a warrant allowing him to be held for a further seven days by Westminster magistrates police charged Choudhury with the latter offence on December 10.

He pleaded guilty on June 17 and was sentenced on Tuesday….

    As long as said people are not homosexual. Or women. Or Christian. Or Jewish. Or Pagan. Or apostates. Or non-muslim in general. Or muslims from the wrong sect. Or muslims from the right sect who are deemed not muslim enough.

    It goes without saying that this opinion is disgusting. In a free society, people should be FREE. Including free to be homosexuals.

    BUT, expression of ANY opinion should also be allowed.

    There is a distinction in a free society between somebody who says that in his opinion, there should be a death sentence for homosexuals, but he will accept the law as it is, and someone who incites people to kill homosexuals in that .free society.

    Free speech is paramount, absolutely non-negotiable.

        Regarding the comment that Britain has no Freedom of Speech – yes we have – just so long as we say what is allowed. This has nothing to do with Islam. This has nothing to do with Islam. This has n ………..

          Free speech in Britain: death to America, death to the Jews, death to gays, death to infidels.
          Prohibited speech in Britain: deport muslim terrorists, jail muslim rapists, quote Winston Churchill.

    How is that not high treason against Britain. Isis preach attacking british citizens and soldiers alike; sorry, should say they preach attacking everybody except themselves; and they do kill each other as well. Insanity.

    I can just imagine what a youth home will do for him. Probably tell him to be proud of his heritage. That
    of course, since his heritage is a religion of peace, will cure him once and for all of his ISIS predilections.

      I don’t hear anyone comment on what HE will do to THEM.
      Adolescent, highly suggestible, on the wrong side of the law/society.

      Excellent material for his dawa: “Get out of jail free,
      spend infinity in the fornicatorium in the sky,
      (with endless pearly boys if you’re actually a closet ho)…”

      He can hone his criminal skills from those with other experience.

      Are there any other worshipers of mo in there?
      Almost certainly. Halal food, prayer mats,
      special wudu facilities, breaks from training
      for wudu and kowtowing to mo, no one else
      allowed to eat during ramadan pigout…

      There should be some gays there too.
      I wonder if he will organize a toss-off from the roof?

      Maybe he will get some first-hand or first-butt
      experience of gaydom?

    Islam teaches that the 7000 million people on earth comprise 750 million superior Mosloem men, 750 million inferior Moslem women and 5500 million infidel dogs fit only to submit to the Moslem cult or be slaughtered. But Islam advises the faithful to make nice until they have the whip hand (taqiyya).

    Even the Nazis weren’t as ambitious as that. Nor, probably, did they have access to such a large Fifth Column.

    The depressing truth is that at this “youth facility” he will likely be mentored by other Islamists and be released a more committed Jihadist than before.

    This little piece of garbage will do only half of the sentence, during which he will be free to practice his ‘religion’ as he sees fit. He will be given plenty of respect from the officers and will probably be welcomed into a group of other devout prisoners. He wlll get halal food, as will the non-muslim cons, and he will be able to milk Friday prayers for all it’s worth.
    He may also be responsible for the conversion, under duress, of other cons.
    He will be very much more dangerous on release.

    There are no youth camps for those over 18 around here…They go to adult jail or prison where Big Bubba reasons with them.
    What he will learn after a few years at camp, is how to be a better thug for Allah.

  11. Lia Wissing says

    Jul 12, 2015 at 6:36 am

    Just don’t allow him an imam in Youth detention. The imams tell they they are sacrificing for allah, because they’re obeying a higher law than mere man’s.

    Please remember that in Britain the headline sentence is only for show. Unless he is a VERY naughty boy inside, he will only serve half the headline sentence before release. So he will be back out in 20 months, scarce worth putting him away in the first place!

    Prison is the right place – he is an enemy of Britain and of decency.

    Jul 12, 2015 at 8:16 pm

    Dear President Obama,

    If you had a son, would he look like Syed Choudhury?

    If not, why not?

    Discuss.

    We need to be truthful about Islam – it is more a political system cloached as religion filled with violence and needs to be exposed as such, it is time to confront the ideology head on and stop mosques spouting anti-British propagander.

    Gay rights activists are on a collision course with today’s resurgent traditional Islam. Unfortunately most of them are too busy looking for the ‘homophobe under the bed’ to notice the zealot and potential murderer next door.

    Hippocrates, the Brits!! They do something when it’s about gaypeople, but when it comes to the moslem persecution of Christians and Jews and the incitements to murder these Groups, they do absolutely nothing!! I don’t have any respect for them!

    They should have let the Young devil go to Syria. He’d probably never make it back… One less..
