Britain
4 jailed in UK for cartoon protest
2007-07-19
Four men in Britain were sentenced to prison on Tuesday for their role in a fiery protest against the publication of cartoons of Prophet Muhammad (may his drip clear up peace be upon him). Mizanur Rahman, 24, Umran Javed, 27, and Abdul Muhid 25, were convicted of incitement to murder and sentenced to six years each. During a February 2006 protest in front of the Danish embassy in London, they had called for the deaths of those who published the cartoons, prosecutors said. A fourth defendant, Abdul Saleem, 32, was jailed or four years for inciting racial hatred. The defendants had argued that they were venting their rage at the cartoons, which they considered an assault on Islam, and did not intend to incite murder. Judge Brian Barker called their actions “the complete opposite of peaceful protest.”

#4  Well, ya know, tu, there's not that many really tall buildings in London. Maybe we could volunteer the Sears tower, although I'd hate for our own Haz Mat crews to have to clean up the resulting (toxic) mess. On 2nd thought, how's about air mail from 30,000 feet over Afghanistan/Pakistan, since these yahoos seem to "adore" that "pure" area?

#3  Outside the court, demonstrators gathered around Anjem Choudary, the former leader of the outlawed militant group al-Ghurabaa and one of the organizers of the cartoon protest. Yelling into a loudspeaker, Mr. Choudary accused the British government of waging a crusade against Islam. "There is a consequence for nations when they do this type of thing," he said.

There is a consequence for nations when scumbags like this don't fall off of tall buildings...

#2  Yep, just "venting the rage". If they don't, their heads explode.

#1  The first sensible news from England in some time. Of course, the whole stinking pack should have been gunned down in the street and result broadcast as a warning to the rest. But prison will do in a pinch.
