HATE PREACHER JAILED
A race-hate Muslim cleric convicted of calling for his followers to murder non-believers has been jailed for nine years.
An Old Bailey judge also recommended that Abdullah el-Faisal, 39, be deported when his sentence was served.
El-Faisal was found guilty last month of three charges of soliciting murder and three charges involving stirring up racial hatred.
The Jamaican told young British Muslims it was their duty to kill non-believers, Americans, Hindus and Jews.
Shock
He promised schoolboys they would be rewarded with 72 virgins in paradise if they died in a holy war.
In his defence, Faisal said he only preached what he had learned from the Koran.
The prosecution was the first of its kind in over 100 years.
The judge jailed el-Faisal for a total of seven years on three charges of soliciting murder and for two years on charges of using insulting words and distributing tapes of insulting words.
After the verdict it emerged judge Peter Beaumont had almost halted the trial halfway through after an apparent attempt to bribe him with £50,000.
Extremists
A group of around a dozen supporters looked shocked as el-Faisal was sentenced.
El-Faisal stretched out his arm to them as he was led away.
The fanatical cleric had links with other extremists and was associated with James Ujaama who is awaiting trial in the US for trying to set up a terrorist training camp.
El Faisal had formerly been a devout Christian but converted to Islam as a teenager and went on to study the faith in Saudi Arabia. He moved to Britain in the 1990s and later became Imam of the Brixton Mosque in south London.

In his defence, Faisal said he only preached what he had learned from the Koran. And he told the truth.

Damn straight. That's the part that should be shouted from the top of every church and syangogue. These bastards mean to kill us all if they can't convert us. It says so in their book. Mohammedeans that don't believe that have not studied their own faith.
To: PlanoMike
My point should be obvious.....that the Koran does indeed advocate violence toward non-believers.

attempt to bribe him with £50,000. Cheap bastards. Shouldn't an Old Bailey Judge be worth more than that?
To: Mr. Mojo
Just checking.

At first I thought that it was Jesse Jackson or the Rev. Al. Oh well.
I hope they put this guy in solitary for his whole stay since he will attempt to win converts while in prison.

The point is obvious to anyone with half a brain. To unmask this evil death cult for what it is.
I take it you never saw the Daniel Pearl video. They should have just called it, "Islam for Dummies"

72 Virgins like this?

My computer can't pick up that photo you posted; I see just a red X in a square box. ...And perhaps just as well :)
Those Islamists are sure going to be upset when those 72 virgins all turn out looking like Hanan Ashwari.

Er, isn't Jamaica part of the British Commonwealth? If you "deport" this guy back to Jamaica, aren't you just dumping a headache from ONE part of Great Britain to another?

They're using that new "facial recognition technology" here on FR, to make sure certain images don't make it through! Ugh!
