Here is a fine example of rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. The lawyers representing the Attorney General’s office wanted him to serve twelve years, not nine. Nine years, twelve years — how are three more years going to make the slightest difference if no effort is made while Fatah Abdullah is in prison to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments? And no such effort will be made, since it would be “Islamophobic.”
Meanwhile, would Fatah Abdullah’s sentence have been found to be “not too lenient” if he had been a “right-wing extremist”? In that case, his life sentence would be a real life sentence.
“Newcastle man convicted of terrorism offences will not have jail term increased,” ITV News, January 21, 2021 (thanks to Henry):
A man from Newcastle convicted of terror offences will not have his minimum jail term increased after a bid by the Attorney General failed.
35-year-old Fatah Abdullah was ordered to serve at least nine years of a life sentence, for encouraging a terror cell in Germany to commit mass murder….
Lawyers representing the Attorney General’s office argued that Abdullah, who lived in the Arthur’s Hill area, should have been given a 12-year minimum term.
The Court of Appeal has today ruled that sentence was not too lenient and will be upheld.

When Nazi mass murderers were sentenced, they got 20 years or a rope.
Jihadists ‘love death’ so let Britain bring back the death penalty and introduce them to a public executioner.

And Naziism had been completely crushed at that point, and was not able to makre a state comeback.
Michael Copeland says
The Briton who in 2017 drove his van into a group of muslims leaving the mosque after midnight prayers, killing one and injuring others, was sentenced to 43 years.

b.a. freeman says
well, they have to consider several things, Michael; it’s complicated. after all, the finsbury park attacker was a filthy kaffir, not a muslim; furthermore, he killed a muslim, not a filthy kaffir. the extra years are justified under sharia, which is the law of UKistan.
Veracious_one says
maybe it is time for a Muslim immigration ban….

Not apt to happen in the UK–especially with its being overturned by Biden here in the US.
Keith O says
Have to ask if that picture was photo shopped? No normal human could look that demented and evil.
When are the courts worldwide going to start using the death penalty for these scum?

I’ve seen people look this evil–just not a common look for civilized law-abiding Infidels.
European pagan says
He looks like someone who would beat anyone to death for 20€
James Lincoln says
Keith O,
No airbrushing, etc.
That is the real Fatah Abdullah.
Wouldn’t he make a swell next door neighbor? (sarc/off)

Hi, J.L
I read something this morning I thought you might like.
Faithforeleanor.com It’s some good news, for a change.

Thanks for the link, somehistory.
Fred van de Bunt says
Abdullah is a UK asylum holder from Iran, that taught Hussein and Babek, German asylum seekers from Iraq, how to kill as many humans as possible in a terror attack in Germany. In one of Abdullah’s messages to the others, It said:
“The aim is that you kill them and make them feel terrified and show them that (Islamic State) is here and Islam is here.”
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-tyne-53052594
The Quran commands “to cast terror in the hearts” of infidels, and Abdullah wrote to “make them feel terrified”.
Academic elites in the West are still breaking their minds how Muslims become radicalized…

UK Court of Appeal says it’s ‘not too lenient’ for jihad mass murder plotter to serve nine years in prison
…………….
Good grief…
Jayell says
But he won’t serve 9 years – probably 3 or 4. And, of course, he’ll be in good company once he gets inside a UK jail.
gravenimage says
Also grimly true, Jayell. It won’t even be a ful nine years.
