Davis’ barrister, Mark Summers KC, said that Davis believed he had a “religious obligation” to join the Islamic State in Syria. How did he get this idea? Does anyone know? Does anyone care?
“Suspected ‘Isis Beatles’ cell member jailed on terrorism charges,” Independent, November 13, 2023:
A British Muslim convert suspected of being a member of an Isis death squad dubbed “The Beatles” has been jailed.
Aine Leslie Davis, 39, was deported from Turkey last August after serving a seven-and-a-half year sentence for membership of Isis.
On his arrival at Luton airport, he was detained by British counter-terrorism police and charged with three offences.
Last month, he admitted possession of a firearm contrary to Section 57 of the Terrorism Act 2000, and two charges of funding terrorism between 2013 and 2014.
The defendant, who was brought up in London, was sentenced to eight years at the Old Bailey on Monday….
The court heard it was clear that Davis – who had convictions for possession of drugs and gun possession – had gone to Syria to fight under the black flag of Isis and that he was preoccupied with martyrdom….

Firstly, these ingrates are not and never will be British. Secondly successive UK governments are the culprit’s in welcoming this brain-dead psycho jihadist evil into our country it’s a Trojan horse which has not stopped for at least 60 years. If not stopped the problem will increase, exponentially. Cowardly kowtowing politicians are ultimately responsible for the problem.

allah who is not omniscient and provably so in the koran?
muhammed who admitted and proved he was a false prophet?
islam whose teachings violate ALL the commandments to Moses in the Torah which allah confirms thus defeating the purpose of the Torah?
No chance of figuring it out?
The one figure tawhid;That’s really the IQ level of these folk isn’t it?

John Smith says
He should be deported once he gets released from prison, the same goes for his wife who has also been imprisoned on terrorist charges. Even if they were born here, they hate us, and are enemies of the UK they should both be removed. I’m sure Shamima Begum could do with a bit of jihadi company.

British man converts to Islam and goes to Syria to join the Islamic State death squad. Truly may his Death Wish be swiftly granted by Allah.
