British teacher admits planning to join Islamic State in Syria

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(IS) jihadists in Syria was convicted on Monday of terrorism offences, police said.

Jamshed Javeed, a 30-year-old science teacher at a secondary high school in Bolton, pleaded guilty at a court in London to assisting others to commit acts of terrorism and preparing to travel to Syria himself, the police said in a statement.

Security officials say some 500 Britons, most with Moslem immigrant backgrounds, are believed to be fighting in Iraq and Syria, though the true number could be much higher. They say any returning fighters would pose a threat to national security.

Islamic State has taken control of large parts of both countries.

A family member had noticed a change in Javeed's appearance and behaviour in August 2013. When confronted four months later, he told his family he was committed to going to Syria and had bought equipment for himself and IS fighters to use once he got there, police said.

#2 "Islamic State has taken control of large parts of both countries."

Was the writer saying that large parts of England have been taken over by ISIS/ISIL/IS as well as Syria/Iraq?
