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

UK Muslim cleric Anjem Choudary found guilty of supporting the Islamic State

Aug 16, 2016 2:10 pm By Robert Spencer

He inspired at least 100 jihadis in the UK. He called openly for the murder of Pamela Geller. The British government let him run around loose for years, while banning me from the country for opposing Choudary and his ilk. And Twitter and YouTube, true to form as always, would not remove his posts.

Anjem-Choudary

“Radical Islamist Preacher Anjem Choudary Found Guilty Of Supporting ISIS,” Reuters, August 16, 2016:

LONDON, Aug 16 (Reuters) – Anjem Choudary, Britain’s most high-profile Islamist preacher whose followers have been linked to numerous plots across the world, has been found guilty of inviting support for Islamic State.

Choudary, 49, was convicted at London’s Old Bailey court of using online lectures and messages to encourage support for the banned group which controls large parts of Syria and Iraq.

Notorious in Britain where the tabloids denounce him as a hate preacher, he is also well-known abroad, making regular TV appearances in the wake of attacks by Islamist militants to blame Western foreign policy for targeting Muslims.

“These men have stayed just within the law for many years, but there is no one within the counter terrorism world that has any doubts of the influence that they have had, the hate they have spread and the people that they have encouraged to join terrorist organizations,” said Dean Haydon, head of London police’s Counter Terrorism Command.

Prosecutors said that in postings on social media, Choudary and his close associate Mizanur Rahman, 33, had pledged allegiance to the “caliphate” declared by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and said Muslims had a duty to obey or provide support to him.

Both men, who had denied the terrorism charges and claimed the case was politically motivated, were found guilty last month but their convictions could not be reported until Tuesday for legal reasons. They are due to be sentenced in September and could face a jail sentence of up to 10 years each.

Choudary, the former head of the now banned organization al-Muhajiroun, became infamous for praising the men responsible for the 9/11 attacks on the United States and saying he wanted to convert Buckingham Palace into a mosque….

      Of course it did, but a least they get to “Islamophobes” a lot quicker, normally 5 am the morning after a single complaint has been made. Usually it is mob handed as well breaking down doors and flooding the house with that very rare thing, especially where a complaint has been made against a muslim, a policeman.
      We should think ourselves lucky that he has finally been arrested, charged and tried, all we need now is a decent sentence a minimum of 20 years to keep him out of the way as long as possible then release only when some Islamic country agrees to take him.

        He deserves the maximum sentence, “DEATH”.
        This disease must be Eradicated, now!

        If he is allowed to sit in prison, he must be kept isolated.
        If not, he will teach this Cult to others.
        This we do not need!

          Even if we’d kept the death penalty in the UK it would have covered premeditated murder, murder of a police officer and treason. Choudhary wasn’t guilty of any of those. And although he’ll no doubt be as dangerous inside prison as out, he’ll be kept in the same luxury as the rest of his sort.

          Agreed. He should be EXECUTED. Period.

          How insane is it to DEPORT these monsters? I mean, if the UK would wake up and smell the coffee (or tea. Wait. Tea has no aroma. Never mind.) they’d realize they’re at war just as we are. And in the middle of a war when you find an enemy agent in your midst, what do you do?

      I’ve always liked and respected Andy. At least he had the balls to face the media and tell it like it is. He is vital to show the world what the real intentions of Islamic Immigration means to the countries that allows Muslims that cannot be vetted to infiltrate a civilized nation. He never committed taqiyya. He knows he can say whatever he wants and Dimmii English people will line up behind him to defend him. He will not spend a day behind bars. The leaders of Europe have decided that it is better to live with jihad terror than to hurt the feelings of Islam.

        He needs to be in solitary – no contact with other prisoners, muslims in particular, and no copy of the koran. OH, and somehow have his black rubbish-bag garbed wife arrested and charged with encouraging recruiting for ISIS, not to mention evicting her from her benefits house!

      As a British citizen he can’t be, nice though it’d be for him to be shoved onto a plane and sent to some shithole where he belongs.

      Actually, I shall miss him somewhat, spouting his crap on TV. He’s a buffoon who has done much to show his perverse ideology for what it is!

        he can have his citizenship revoked, it happens all the time to those who are not born in the country and have seen to have lied on their application or in the oath of allegiance
        I agree, at least Choudary has been telling the truth to the dhimmi govt and the people of the UK but unfortunately the govt elites can’t accept the truth that islam is a very dangerous and evil organization that hides under the guise of the “religion of peace”

  3. Charles says

    We’ll see if he receives and serves a jail sentence or perhaps just a deportation order which might not be enforced. Either way, I won’t hold my breath.

    Aug 16, 2016 at 3:09 pm

    Let the victimhood begin. He was allowed to run free and preach at will, and no doubt ‘radicalised’ peace-loving Muslims. Victims all, of a weak judiciary and fawning msm. Ergo, we are the guilty.
    (Let’s hope his ‘preaching is monitored in the nick – we wouldn’t want any more victims).

  15. Robert Elliott says

    Aug 16, 2016 at 3:11 pm

    A delicious irony and what must be a source of fury and outrage for him is that he has been convicted by a court whose authority he refuses to recognise, a blasphemy conducted with non-sharia, man-made laws. Especially after he said this just three years ago:

    “Inevitably, I’m convinced, I’m 100% certain that the sharia will be implemented in America and in Britain one day…if we have enough authority and power, we are obliged as Muslims to take the power away from the people who have it, and implement sharia law.”

    And there is also one very small but satisfying victory – the blow to his pride and unspeakable arrogance. For years the authorities have inexplicably let him away with spouting his evil views, especially his despicable comments after the murder of Lee Rigby. He clearly believed himself above the law, and openly laughed in the face of the authorities and the British public.

    But this time, in openly recruiting for IS, the most brutal and wicked group on Earth, his arrogance led him to take a step too far. No court would have dared not convict him because the public outrage would have been enormous.

    Behind bars. It’s a start.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Prison will be a dream come true for an SOA like Choudary. It’s an ideal environment for him to recruit more evil perps to the islamic state, since criminals are so drawn to islam. Afterall, muhammad (perdition be upon him), was probably the most notorious criminal that ever lived.

    islam = the religion of murder & mayhem

  17. Martin says

    Aug 16, 2016 at 3:21 pm

    Interesting article from the BBC here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36979892

    The article contains this: “Choudary claimed he would go to sample the simple Sharia life if only the home secretary would return his passport. He later told his trial that he wouldn’t go because he had work to do in London, spreading the good word of Islam.”

    Presumably, he really meant that he quite liked his cushy western lifestyle in UK which was funded by the British taxpayer.

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2279972/Anjem-Choudary-Hate-preacher-pocketing-25-000-year-benefits-calls-fanatics-live-state.html:

    “The father-of-four takes home more than £25,000 a year in benefits and lives in a £320,000 house in Leytonstone, East London.

    He told a crowd of around 30 fanatics: ‘People will say, ‘Ah, but you are not working’. But the normal situation is for you to take money from the kuffar (non-Muslim).”

    • Zé says

      Aug 17, 2016 at 1:25 pm

      Nobody should get more on benefits than someone who works 40 hours a week on minimum wage.

  18. Walter Sieruk says

    Aug 16, 2016 at 3:31 pm

    Imam Choudary was and is dong a totally despicable thing and supporting that brutal and deadly jihad entity, ISIS,. There are some people ,of reason, who might ,understandably, stop wonder and then ask “Just how could Choudary do such a heinously thing as to support ISIS at all, ,in any way ? ” The answer to that question is found in the Bible. For the Bible teaches that there are some men who are so extremely unconscionable, cruel, callous wicked and dangerous because they have had “their conscience seared with a hot iron.” First Timothy 4:2. [K.J.V. ] the “hot iron” in this case is Islam.

    Aug 16, 2016 at 3:56 pm

    A small detail from the BBC website. It was inevitable, but it seems that his benefits-guzzling wife is also a sympathiser of IS. When he had decided that IS and its Caliphate were indeed the “dream ticket” he sent a single word message to his wife, Rubana. “Done,” he wrote.

    “Allahu Akbar,” she replied. “I’m so happy.”

    Outrageous that for the the next ten years and beyond, as they have for the last twenty, the British taxpayer will be paying for his equally extremist wife and their five children. If ever there was an argument against multiculturalsm, there it is.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Aug 17, 2016 at 9:59 am

      Not an argument against multiculturalism. An argument against the suicidal kind of multiculturalism that imports Islam even though Islam will destroy multiculturalism and establish a monoculture.

      For now, Islam is a powerful adversary. Those who want Islam pushed back and contained need as many allies on the left as we can get. That means NOT attacking multiculturalism, but on the contrary persuading any liberal we can that Islam must be stopped because it will gradually DESTROY multiculturalism.

      Aug 16, 2016 at 9:57 pm

      Hi Wellington no doubt about that. Andy (as he doesn’t like to be called) radicalized one of the killers of the young British soldier Lee Rigby. It’s business as usual, he’s no killer himself but a killer factory. In the slammer he has to be kept in solitary confinement as he’ll never stop preaching peace of course.

      It gives you hope in Europe that at least in Britain they remove the hatemongers and in France they react appropriately. But there are still so many people purporting that all the mayhem and terrorism has nothing to do with true Islam that the religion was only abused and that sort of crap. I fully agree with you these apologists are the worst. They blame the West for anything. Islam needs to be removed from Western societies like cancer from a human body, sometimes you have to cut a lot.

      I’m so grateful that there are people like you who know and always succinctly name the facts. Talking to you is very inspiring.

    A warning from a former Muslim

    I was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I know Islamic brain. I live and breath with them. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is a sick and evil religion. The following are the Islamic message to the West.

    To the infidels of the West:

    The Constitution for the new Islamic Republics of EuroArabia and AmerIslamia is under construction.

    We will fight the infidel to death.

    – Meanwhile American laws will protect us.
    – Democrats and Leftist will support us.
    – N.G.O.s will legitimize us.
    – C.A.I.R. will incubate us.
    – The A.C.L.U. will empower us.
    – Western Universities will educate us.
    – Mosques will shelter us
    – O.P.E.C. will finance us
    – Hollywood will love us.
    – Kofi Annan and most of the United Nations will cover our asses.

    Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarship. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.

    We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.

    We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interest than US interest.

    Solitary confinement. Anjem chained to the wall with no remote. The TV tuned to Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller interviews, ALL DING DONG DANG DAY LONG.

    True justice could not be meted out to a more deserving jihadi. Threaten to kill Pamela will you? Snort.

      “Anjem chained to the wall with no remote. The TV tuned to Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller interviews, ALL DING DONG DANG DAY LONG.”

      Oh, I can improve on that. He gets to choose: either NO SIGNAL, or Mr Spencer and Ms Geller, OR… Fr Zakaria Botros cheerily and smilingly taking Islam to pieces whilst also explaining about Christianity.

      Give Mr Choudary the choice between crashing boredom – cold turkey, no Islam, no mosque, no prayer rug, no qibla, no halal food, and NO entertainment (silence and nothing at all to read or watch) – or… cheerful, witty, civilised people criticising Islam without mercy, and offering a radical alternative.

    I must say, I kind of liked Anjem Choudary because he told everyone what Islam really is. He essentially quotes the same verses and makes the same arguments as Robert Spencer, but from the point of view of the Muslim believer. There are plenty of imams who say that Islam is a religion of peace in English, and then call for murder and destruction in the native language of their Muslim believers.

    At least Anjem was honest and up front about what Islam is. Rather than jail Anjem, ban Islam.

    Silencing Anjem Choudary will not increase public awareness of what Islam preaches, and thus does nothing to get to the root of the problem. How many imams preach the same ideology within their mosques, out of the view of the media? Is it easier to eradicate Arab supremacy if you cover it up and pretend it doesn’t exist?

    Silencing Anjem Choudary will just make things more comfortable for the leftist elites to truck in more Muslims.

    • eduardo odraude says

      Will he be silenced? Probably still has speech rights in prison?

    If he goes to jail then we will lose one very good advert AGAINST Islam and Sharia.

    I would prefer he remains free and allowed to spew his crap out for all to listen to.

    • linnte says

      Aug 16, 2016 at 11:18 pm

      I have to admit he was one good advert against Islam! He told the truth and I have to applaud that. But if he was telling US the truth, just think of the Muslims he told the truth to and convinced them to Jihad! And they are still out there. I watched him parade in England with a huge troop of Muslims. They were chanting “Death to Cameron”, “death to police”. Why aren’t each and every one of these followers of his in jail?

  37. Hindu American says

    Aug 16, 2016 at 9:12 pm

    Deport this scumbag to the US.

    According to this YT video chat with Eliot Spitzer, this inbred committed a crime against the people of the United States. He agreed on camera that he had incited muslims in America to participate in attacks on others. Watch the video from 8:45.

    This is actually bad over the long term. Many have posted how happy they are to see Choudary arrested, but he was more useful by far free and running his mouth for all to see.

    Time and time again, no one can get Islamic apologists to Islamists themselves to go on record and “tell it like it is”. But along came Choudary who was willing to do just that. He was a great monster for the rest of us to point at and show the apologists what Jihad looks like coming unfiltered and with no layers of Taqiyya on the words.

    Without Choudary, we are stuck with ones like Ibrahim Hooper dripping honey words from his lips as he holds in his heart exactly the same thing Choudary does. Only Choudary was foolishly willing to discard his prophet’s advice of war is to deceive.

    So I’ll remind all of you cheering his removal from the public soap box he ranted from, we’ve also lost a “useful idiot” in Choudary.

    • mortimer says

      Aug 17, 2016 at 1:54 am

      Choudary was honest about the duty of jihad. He was the only Muslim spokesperson who clearly enunciated Islamic supremacism.

      • eduardo odraude says

        Aug 17, 2016 at 10:22 am

        Not the only. Just one of the few who does so in an infidel context where Islam is not yet that strong. But in the Islamic world his kind of talk is commonplace.

        In that, Anjem ignored the example of Muhammad, who often promoted tolerance when Muslims were weak and outnumbered, but when the number of Muslims grew and Muhammad gained political power, then tolerance went out the window.

        The truly ingenious character of the evil of Islam to me suggests an origin form some kind of higher intelligence than the merely human. Islam’s systems of camouflage, for one thing. It is remarkable that something that from its start involved such monstrous, inhuman behaviors, managed not only to encode such behaviors as ethical doctrine, and as unchangeable, but also was able to develop the means to effectively hide such horrific qualities sufficiently when necessary to permit continued expansion of the system.

  39. mortimer says

    Anjem Choudary had Lee Rigby killed by his preaching and egging others on. He deserves a life sentence.

    I’m not looking forward to seeing the results of this chump’s incarceration. British jails are currently like recruitment centres for jihad, with muslim gangs victimising vulnerable prisoners and forcing them to adopt Islam, or else be violently attacked. Yet another dropped ball by the UK authorities.

  42. Baucent says

    Aug 17, 2016 at 4:27 am

    The problem here is that if Choudary is jailed, he is off the street but it won’t stop him preaching his Jihadist vision. In fact he may be more dangerous to the State inside than out. In jail he is given a captive audience of people with time to listen. For a revolutionary like Choudary, prison is a huge opportunity to recruit new converts to Islam and turn nominal muslims into Jihadists. He won’t waste that opportunity.

  44. RICHTHOFEN says

    Aug 17, 2016 at 7:27 am

    It beggars all belief that this criminal has been allowed to spread his vile hatred and anti-civilisation bile for so long. At last, he will be jailed – but his ‘benefits’ must be cut immediately – we have paid him to preach against us for far too long already. He must also be denied legal aid and his dependents must also be cut off from government funding/sponsorship and, after serving his sentence, he must be exiled. Born in Britain, or not, we do not want his type here. He and his family, clearly, would be much happier in a sharia compliant muslim state since he has made it quite clear that that is what he wants in view of his persistent attacks on Britain and our way of life. Deportation may not be possible but we can certainly exile him and his tribe – go to it Mrs May!

    • eduardo odraude says

      Aug 17, 2016 at 10:26 am

      He should be parachuted over the Islamic State he was convicted of supporting. His support makes him a traitor no longer entitled to British citizenship.

    Aug 17, 2016 at 10:23 am

    After the so-and-so has done his time, DEPORT his sorry hide to Pakistan or some other “Islamistan”. If there isn’t one that would take him, then strap a parachute on him and drop him over one. Regarding the dangers he might face – I’m perfectly willing to take that risk!

    • eduardo odraude says

      Aug 17, 2016 at 10:27 am

      He was convicted of supporting the Islamic State. Let him have citizenship there. He should forfeit his British status.

    Aug 17, 2016 at 10:31 am

    Put him in isolation in a secure jail and do not let him spread his filth to another soul.England has allowed muslims to take over their once powerful nation and now they regret it and the new Prime Minister will fix it forever.BRIXIT George Soros loves muslims u not around he and his family only for “those people” globalism is as bad as Marxism and democrats.

    Numerous reports are coming in Andrew Choudary wanted to get into prison to realize his lifelong dream of becoming a bacha bazi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi).
