Great. And when Farooq Rashid gets out of prison, which will be before 24 months have passed, will he become a solid, loyal, upstanding British citizen? What do you think? Nothing whatsoever will be done while he is prison to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments. To attempt to do such a thing would be “Islamophobic.” If anything, those sentiments will be reinforced while he is in prison. So most likely when he gets out, he will resume his jihad.
“Bradford man jailed for terrorism offences following intelligence led inquiry,” by Vivien Mason, Telegraph & Argus, May 22, 2018 (thanks to Paul):
Farooq Rashid,43, of Duchy Crescent, pleaded guilty, at Leeds Crown Court, to one count of dissemination of a terrorist publication, and one count of possessing a publication likely to be useful to a terrorist.
Rashid was arrested by officers from Counter Terrorism Policing North East in October 2016 as part of an intelligence led inquiry and charged in September 2017.
He was sentenced to 24 months imprisonment following yesterday’s hearing….

Well this is obviously a good thing. But it’s about as effective as blowing out the match that started a forest fire. What about the rest of it? I mean the FGM, the violent enclaves, the increased street crime, the mass sexual assaults and rape committed by muslim men, the never-ending terror attacks, the murderous homophobia, the loss of freedom to islamic encroachment… This muslim was only doing what his religion commands, the same religion all the other muslims believe in too. If what he did was criminal then certainly the religion is criminal too, right? Islam teaches kill the “unbelievers” and “idolators,” why aren’t such teachings banned as hate speech and incitement to violence? They imprison a guy for disseminating a terrorist publication, but the sham religion that speaks the same hateful violence is coddled and protected despite its obvious connections with crime and murder, doesn’t make sense. It would be so nice to see more honesty in politics and the media regarding this obvious deficiency in sound thinking. It’s as dumb as killing the noxious weed but defending its seedlings as a protected species. This guy can’t be wrong if islam is right. Either they’re both wrong or somebody is lying.

JD, the Koran is clearly filled with hatred and incitement to commit genocide and crimes against humanity.
The Koran is the source of the IDEOLOGY.
Motto: “IT’S THE IDEOLOGY, STUPID.”
J D S says
Mortimer….You are absolutely right about the Koran…Throw in the hadath and other writings and cleric teachings, imams preaching jihad and so much more, one would think the governments in the west would see what is happening and that it Is unlawful, according to laws already on the books then where needed, pass laws to address what’s not covered and see that all laws are enforced…IS THAT ASKING TOO MUCH or am I just another islamophobic racist bigot who really don’t care about their countty?????
DHazard says
It’s good to see that the UK is equitable about whose speech they are censoring but it’s still censorship. And if they really meant it then they would ban the Quran and the Old Testament. Why does religion get a pass when it comes to hate speech? In the long run the world is probably better when people like the members of the Westboro Baptist Church are allowed to stage their intentionally revolting protests. If Islam is going to become a religion of peace it won’t happen by driving the ideas of Islamists underground. How can you debate an enemy whose words aren’t permitted to be heard?

Good idea but where to if he was born in Britain – as so many are.

“Nothing will be done (in prison) to disabuse him of his jihadist tendencies”. Quite the opposite, in fact. With the UK jails clogged up with a hugely disproortionate number of his kind, he’ll probably be met with a welcoming committee and find himself drafted in as a ‘mentor’ in the unofficial islamic ‘education programme’ that these prisoners run to ‘enlighten’ their kuffar fellow-inmates. And as for the idea of a ‘good, solid British citizen’, ‘British’ is now the most meaningless word in any language on the planet since it merely signifies that the specimen claiming to be ‘British’ (usually in order to claim welfare payments) has got hold of a British passporr – and rumour has it that the Authorities are soon to start selling these on Ebay.

In the UK we have very serious overcrowding of our prisons. Using taxpayers money to build new prisons is not a good use of money, particularly when there are far more obvious means of opening up prison places.
Every terrorist in prison, almost exclusively Muslim, costs a great deal of money and there are many of them. When they are released they are still a threat and our security service has to continue to keep tabs on them and they contribute absolutely nothing to society. When such scum are sentenced to years in prison they should be given the offer of going back to their country of origin, never to return to the UK, (even if they were born in the UK), default position could be say, Afghanistan. If you were facing 20 years in prison – what would you do!
We could be generous and also allow their families to accompany them if they wished (again forever) and all the government would have to contribute would the a single flight to a Muslim country. No more costs, cells freed-up for our own scum and an altogether safer UK. If these people ever tried to come back then we should leave matters to our security service to “deal” appropriately!

They should all wear GPS bracelets and be offered the option of permanent exile.
mortimer says
Muslim terrorists will only abandon the JIHAD IDEOLOGY if they undergo ABSOLUTE DEPROGRAMMING. ‘Absolute’ refers to the complete destruction of faith in jihad. This can only be done by showing conclusively that Islam is based on fabricated texts written by humans for political purposes long after a shadowy figure appeared in Arabia. There was no Islam as late as the time of Caliph Abd al Malik, so Islam was obviously created during and after his reign.
gravenimage says
Mortimer, you keep saying this–but when has it *ever* worked? Pious Muslims reject logic and anything the “filthy Infidels” have to say.
CrossWare says
Ah, he is getting his PhD in the Islamic University (aka prison) from dismemberment, and a minor from bomb making…

What “publication” was he disseminating? Why is it different from the ton of stuff freely available, including koran, sirs, hadith. Why do they not report what the muh was reading? We are entitled to know, because if he and others are operating from it, then we need to know the mindset we are dealing with. That said, publications, many of them published in London and US, e.g. Management of Savagery, all point back to the koran and in particular emphasise the alleged wonderfulness of the companions, and their idol. Has their ever been a more blatant case of literal treachery than that which sees western printers churning out tome upon tome of vile “religious” porn.
