Austria: Muslim gets two years for reposting videos of Islamic State jihad beheadings

Sep 13, 2016 2:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Does the Austrian court believe that in two years’ time (or less), this young Muslim will come out of prison reformed, chastened, and ready to become a solid citizen? Why? Absolutely nothing will be done while he is in prison to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments.

Islamic State beheading Kurds

“Austrian court jails man for reposting IS beheading videos,” Associated Press, September 13, 2016 (thanks to Thomas):

VIENNA (AP) – An Austrian court has sentenced a man to two years in prison for reposting videos online of beheadings by the Islamic State group.

The court convicted the 18-year-old of belonging to a terrorist organization.

His defense argued that he was traumatized as a child by fighting in Chechnya.

The Austria Press Agency cited the offender Tuesday as saying he was radicalized in prison while serving a 14-month sentence for robbery and other offenses that ended last year.

He said that he was in contact with an uncle who was fighting in Syria.

The prosecution cited him as telling that relative that “we will see each other soon by Allah.” But the man testified he never had any intention of joining him….

    Possibly the most effective place to be converted these days–American prisons.

      American prison? The article makes no mention of that – the deed seemingly took place in an Austrian prison. Do you have any source that says otherwise?

    “His defense argued that he was traumatized as a child by fighting in Chechnya.”
    Funny… I should have thought that that would have put him OFF blood and gore!

    Wait, was he punished for reposting a video that shows what is happening and that every adult should see and understand, or for being part of a terrorist organisation?

    So if a non-muslim reposts this video because it really happened, will they be punished in Austria?

    The short article doesn’t make this clear at all:

    “for reposting videos online of beheadings by the Islamic State group.” “The court convicted the 18-year-old of belonging to a terrorist organization.”

    Two totally different things.

      My feelings exactly, Spartakus.

    The court convicted the 18-year-old of belonging to a terrorist organization.

    I was worried for a moment – as much as I loathe the kind of video he was propagating, I loathe the idea of being arrested for posting a video even more. “The innocence of muslims” anyone?

    His defense argued that he was traumatized as a child by fighting in Chechnya.

    Well, so f***ing what?

    Expulsion is the only solution to Moslems. That way we’ll have clarity at least when the time comes in these times of proliferating WMD always improving in price/performance. We’ll know where they are and whom to strike in retaliation.

    Anyone have that video, I will repost it. Not because I am a muslim, but people need to know the truth. So I say the judge that put that muslim away for two years is a dumb fuck. Hiding the truth makes things even worse.

      What is, ‘the truth’?
