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

UK government gave al-Qaeda top dog a million dollars of taxpayer funds to appeal his conviction

Feb 11, 2019 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

There seems to be no low to which the British government will not stoop in order to appease and accommodate Muslims. As they handed huge sums to this jihadi for his legal aid fees, they were also busy banning people from the country for the crime of opposing jihad terror. Britain is finished.

“Jailed Al-Qaeda chief who ‘had links to 7/7 London bombers’ gets £800,000 in legal aid to appeal his conviction,” by Joe Middleton, Mailonline, February 10, 2019:

A convicted Al-Qaeda terrorist has received nearly £800,000 in legal aid fees to appeal his conviction.

Rangzieb Ahmed, 43, was jailed for life at Manchester Crown Court in 2008 for directing terrorism.

The jury heard that he headed a three-man Al Qaeda cell which was preparing to commit mass murder.

Ahmed was jailed for life with a minimum term of ten years after the Manchester Crown Court after a jury found him guilty of being a member of Al Qaeda with his associate, Manchester taxi driver Habib Ahmed.

The 43-year-old, who was arrested in Pakistan, became the first person in the UK convicted of directing a terrorist organisation.

A freedom of information request has revealed the extremist received £782,407 in legal fees, as reported by The Sun on Sunday.

The fees include £589,667 for a barrister and lawyers, £121,892 for an appeal against a failed conviction in 2011, as well as £60,435 for a civil action.

MP David Davies described the payments as an ‘outrage.’

Ahmed, who is thought to have links to the 7/7 terrorists, has a parole hearing next month.

Ahmed lost an appeal against conviction in 2011 after he claimed that police and the security services had earlier allowed him to leave Britain for Pakistan while he was under surveillance, knowing that he would be mistreated….

    Meanwhile, the leader of Britain First political party, Paul Golding, has to find £8,000 to defend himself against charges arising out of distributing leaflets protesting mass immigration to a town in Northern Ireland.

      ” Murdere” of The UK, or any western nation for that matter, is APPEASEMENT.. Appeasement is killing our western nation’s ..and western values….When the public is forced to see itself as the offender instead if the offended..then that person is destroyed and when the person is destroyed then so is his nation.

    Its a foregone conclusion that UK will become New Pakistan or whatever “stan” you want to call it!! Did UK government ever thought what will be the consequences of inviting Muslims to their country?

    MP David Davies is the sensible man who described the payments as an ‘outrage.’ Indeed, it is. This vicious ideologue is a risk to society. Let the Muslim Brotherhood pay for his trial costs.

    Western countries have to stop funding jihad and punish jihadists more severely.

    Ten years is not enough of a punishment for mass murder.

      That idiot need 60 years or more. Those people lives that were taken can never be restore. If they free him, he will definitely kill more innocent people. The Western people are just so stupid and their stupidity will lead them to total annihilation.

    Maybe Europe has to go down and get Islamized to really start fighting back against Islam. This may be the last battle to eradicate this evil cult. It may cost millions of lives and another 500 years but who is counting.

    Does anyone believe Europe can handle Islam peacefully anymore?

    800,000 pounds? a bullet costs?
    How many of their own citizens could they help with basic survival needs with that sort of money!
    Absolutely treasonous.

    …………………

    Suicidal insanity. Does every felon get money like this to appeal his conviction in the UK? I’m betting not…

    I can’t decide which is worse…the taxpayer money that filthy animal was provided or the so-called “life sentence” he received. Life means life, not a paltry ten years. Any justice system that would even consider releasing a terrorist after ten years is nothing less than pathetic. I simply cannot comprehend the light sentences handed out in the UK for crimes such as rape and murder, or the fact that these animals are not deported upon release. It seems as if the government is willingly following a suicidal path to self destruction and British citizens have seemingly accepted this fate by the very fact they continue to elect globalist traitors who obviously are not concerned with their safety or welfare. The enemy is the working class Brit, not the illegal migrant that will never assimilate or seek employment in the best case, or rape and enslave their women while murdering their men in the worst case. I just can’t understand the logic behind these policies.

    This is part of the Globalist conspiracy to destroy the concept of nation states.
    Simply hammer people relentlessly with absurdities until they despise the country they live in and use their own flag for a doormat.

    The EU sold us out back in 2005 with the Barcelona Declaration whereby the EU agreed special leniency for rapists etc for the mass Muslim immigration in return for financial support and cheap oil from Saudi Arabia and others pushing to erradicate a strong Europe. The EU planned to expand by accepting the southern nations around the Mediterranean and some Middle East countries without any concern for its citizens safety and culture.
    Additionally the Kalergi plan has been pushed in order for Europeans to be replaced by a low IQ population that is no threat to them prior to murdering 90% of the World’s population just leaving enough slaves to serve them.
    The Voice of God microwave technology was used in the Iraq war to persuade many enemy troops to surrender and others got cooked by turning up the power. 5G is a similar technology that could be used to control the masses remotely from helicopters or possibly from satellites! We need to stop this but those who try are censored or worse. #WWG1WGA
