...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....

for 12 years after being found guilty of using Bitcoin to help fund the terror group.

Hashim Chaudhary,
...previously in our archives as Hisham Chaudhary — probably one of them is correct...
28, raised thousands of pounds before converting the money to Bitcoin to help free ISIS fighters from detention camps.

A court heard he was an 'active and prominent' member of IS and was found with publications featuring the late Osama bin Laden
...... who doesn't live anywhere anymore......
when police raided his home.

During the dawn raid in November 2019, police also found IS propaganda videos showing that he had produced a 'call to arms' video distributed over the web.

Jurors were told Chaudhary, of Oadby, Leicestershire, mainly operated online and was able to 'promote violent mostly peaceful jihad from the UK'.

He also used Bitcoin to receive and transfer thousands of pounds, paying smugglers to liberate IS supporters from detention camps in Syria.

Chaudhary was found guilty of seven offences under the Terrorism Act and is believed to be one of the first Brits to be convicted of being a member of IS.

A court heard he was a member of the terror group since 2016.

Following a trial at Birmingham Crown Court he was convicted of belonging to a proscribed organization, dissemination of terrorist publications and entering into a terrorist funding arrangement.

for 12 years at the same court with an extended five year licence period.

Sentencing Judge Paul Farrer QC, said: 'I have to sentence you with a series of terrorist offences.

'Count 1 involves the membership of Islamic State between January 2016 and October 2020.

'The evidence shows that in late 2016 you travelled to the Middle East for approximately two-and-a-half months.

'In a social media conversation, you had in 2019, you said you had unsuccessfully attempted to get to Syria.
