Taliban Recruiter in UK Gets Life Sentence
2011-09-12
[Tolo News] A British judge sentenced a former member of the Taliban to life in prison after he tried to recruit people to wage holy war in Afghanistan.

Pak-born Munir Farooqi, 54, who moved to Britannia as a child, also taught recruits how to make bombs and intended to carry out an attack in the UK, the Telegraph newspaper reported security sources as saying.
In Britain as a child but never absorbed British values: doesn't drink ale, doesn't throw darts, doesn't say 'quite', and doesn't appreciate either Arsenal or Manchester United.
Farooqi was jugged after two undercover coppers infiltrated his recruitment operation.

The officers spent nearly a year pretending to be radicalised by Farooqi, converting to Islam and adopting Mohammedan names.
Oh dear. That means they're probably apostates now, with all that entails.
Farooqi boasted to recruits that he had fought alongside the Taliban and told them they could become deaders for the jihadi cause, the undercover officers said.

Judge Richard Henriques found Farooqi guilty of engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism and distributing terrorist publications. He handed Farooqi four life sentences and told him he must serve a minimum of nine years before being eligible for parole.

At the sentencing, Justice Henriques said: "You are in my judgment a very dangerous man, an turban, a fundamentalist with a determination to fight abroad."

Farooqi, a father of three, moved with his family to Britannia when he was about five. He travelled to Afghanistan within weeks of the September 11 attacks to fight with the Taliban.

#5  Good point AC. This does pose an interesting question; will we strip this faggot of citizenship? Nine years, plus a little, is hardly enough time to turn this sucker around.

#4  Kojack, I didn't think I needed the tag. But, 9 years? A distinction without a difference.

Can we all say Lockerbie boys & girls?

#3  No Alan; the judge set a minimum of Nine years. Early release ahead of that Nine years is not possible, well unless the sentence is appealed, which although is possible, isn't very likely owing to the unquestionable evidence against this faggot.

Changing "extremist" to "turban" isn't very fair on Sikhs.

#2  Life in the UK now means 2 years and then probation for 6 months. Unless he stole a pair of sneakers he'll be out soon enough.

#1  Uh, Fred,

While not caring the least for wife and kids, he avidly supported Sheffield Wednesday, along with those watered-down 5-litre pip cans.
