Both arrested a week ago, but clearly not to be trusted out on bail until convicted and starting their formal prison sentences.
[IsraelTimes] Radical holy man Anjem Choudary was arrested together with a Canadian man; both are charged with being members of a terrorist organizationBritish Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary
...self-proclaimed holy man who used to work for Omar Mohammed Bakdri as spokesman for al-Muhajiroun. Anjem is a loathesome little attention prostitute who is to be heard cheering for the home team anytime anybody with a turban manages to slaughter a group of unarmed infidels. Anjem was born in the UK in 1967 and is, as you would expect, of Pakistaini descent. The Ghost of Dante is of the opinion that when he goes to hell his knees will be broken once a month. He was in jug for awhile for supporting the Islamic State...was remanded in jug by a UK magistrate on Monday, after London’s Metropolitan police charged him with three terrorism offenses.
Choudary, 56, faces charges of belonging to a proscribed organization, addressing meetings to encourage support for a proscribed organization and directing a terrorist organization, the force said.
A 28-year-old Canadian, Khaled Hussein,
| ...anyone know what his birth name was? He somehow doesn’t look like a Khaled... |
Both appeared separately at Westminster Magistrates Court in London, which heard that the charges relate to "an extreme form of Islam."
"The charges relate to the proscribed organization al-Muhajiroun
...formerly Omar Bakri Muhammad's spin off group from Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, where the detestable lunatic Anjem Chaudry got his start. More recently the name adopted by al-Qaeda in East Africa for operations in Kenya and Tanzania. It is subordinate to al-Shabaab but will probably be strong enough to fly on its own, given an uninterrupted flow of petrodollars, should the Shaboobs collapse....
, also known as the Islamic Thinkers Society," prosecutor Nick Price said.
Anjem Choudary’s branch fed fighters to both Al Qaeda and ISIS, being the connection to oodles of vicious men in our archives and beyond.
"Criminal proceedings against Mr. Choudary and Mr. Hussein are now active and they each have the right to a fair trial," he added.Chief magistrate Paul Goldspring ordered the pair remanded in jug and set their next appearance, at the central criminal courthouse known as the Old Bailey, on August 4.
Choudary, from east London, wore a black jacket and glasses, and spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address during Monday’s 30-minute court hearing. He was not asked to enter any pleas to the three charges.
A lawyer for Hussein, who is from Edmonton in the Canadian province Alberta, said he would not be entering a plea. The defendant spoke — in a Canadian accent — only to confirm his name, date of birth and address.
He is alleged to have been in "close contact" with Choudary online to provide "a platform" for the group’s views for around two years, the court heard.
Counterterror officers investigating alleged membership of the proscribed organization arrested both men last Monday, the Metropolitan police has said.
Officers detained Choudary in east London and held Hussein at Heathrow Airport after he arrived on a flight.

An offshoot of Al-Muhajiroun was banned, or proscribed, in 2006 for glorifying terrorism.
That ban was expanded in 2010 to include a number of other names, including Al-Muhajiroun.
