UK judge says money spent to keep Muslim from joining jihad in Syria ok: it saved his life

Oct 5, 2016 5:38 pm By Robert Spencer

What will Mr. Justice Hayden say if this young man whose life was saved at so much taxpayer expense decides to wage jihad right at home in Britain?

“Judge questions why taxpayers’ money has been spent stopping British boy travelling to Syria for jihad,” by Danny Boyle, Telegraph, October 5, 2016:

A High Court judge has questioned if an “extraordinary level” of state intervention was justified in stopping a 17-year-old boy from travelling to Syria amid fears he would wage jihad.

Mr Justice Hayden said he had wondered whether or not the “huge resources” deployed in the case were “proportionate”.

He said people often asked why time and taxpayers’ money was spent preventing teenagers from joining terror groups in the Middle East, adding that he considered the argument: “Why not just let them go?”

But the judge concluded that in the case of the boy, who had an uncle held in Guantanamo Bay, a young man’s life had been saved by the local authority’s intervention.

Mr Justice Hayden last year barred the teenager from travelling abroad following a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court after police and social workers raised concerns about him heading to Syria.

He made the teenager a ward of court – a move which bars him from leaving the jurisdiction of England and Wales.

And the judge said he has analysed the benefits of state intervention after reviewing the case at a follow-up hearing in London.

Mr Justice Hayden had been told that the boy’s two elder brothers had been killed waging jihad in Syria….

“There has been an extraordinary level of intervention,” said Mr Justice Hayden. “It has kept him alive.”

He added: “The thing that one hears most is ‘why is so much time, money and effort spent in these cases? Why not just let them go?

“There is no doubt huge resources have been deployed in this case. And I myself have wondered whether that was proportionate. But at the end of the day… they have saved a human life.”…

    “[…] decides to wage jihad right at home in Britain?”
    Then it would be home grown terror. Hence, it would have nothing to do with Islam but everything to do with Islamophobia.
    – Simple.

      The judge forgot to mention that having a homicidal maniac in UK endangers the public. The judge’s claim that he SAVE HIS LIFE by keeping him in UK is not true! The man may just as well set off a suicide vest at any given moment!

      Justice Hayden has ignored the safety of the public in his remarks. Irrational!

      The boy should be allowed to travel … to some isolated island where he can plot jihad indefinitely with no chance of escape.

        A bullet to the brain of any Jihadi-wannabe would be the cheapest way to deal with this problem!

    Indeed, why not just let them go? If they are determined to wage jihad, wouldn0t it be better for the British taxpayer if they were to do so elsewhere?

    But the judge concluded that in the case of the boy, who had an uncle held in Guantanamo Bay

    So this “radicalized” kid had a “radicalized” older family member? Shocker!!!

    Which of his 22 kids will take the Koran seriously? Always demand no less than vigorous public profession of apostasy.

    Do British judges pay taxes? I sure hope that judge believes that equal amounts of money should be spent on barely pubescent kufr girls so they can psychologically recover from sexual slavery. I just won’t bet that he believes it. Or that he pays taxes.

    That’s about the least damage I’d expect coming from someone looking like that.

    In the old days the response from the authorities to catching someone on his way to join a gang of bandits would have been to inflict some kind of punishment on him, which would have helped to deter others from doing the same thing.

    It seems that we’ve moved on from then…. unfortunately.

      Too true. I think most English people’s reaction would be to let him go and take a few friends with him.

      Instead he will remain here hating us and probably breed masses of kids who will all hate us, too. Piling up future problems by the bucketload.

    Is he still a Muslim? If so, the judge has saved nothing. More than likely he has delayed the inevitable evil consequences of this demon. In reality he should of been put in a military prison and kept as a prisoner of war until all Islam rots in hell.

    There’s always the possibility the judicially ransomed “little demon” will take out the naïve, weak Judge. Justice may prevail.
