Hope the fucker gets raped and beaten.Anjem Choudary, one of the most famous radical Islamic preachers in the U.K., has been sentenced to 5 1/2 years in prison for urging people to support the Islamic State.
According to scholars, the cleric radicalized at least 100 people who then turned to terrorism, NPR's Frank Langfitt reports. Among those he inspired was Michael Adebolajo, one of two militants who hacked a British soldier to death with knives and a cleaver on the streets of London in 2013.
But despite being well-known to authorities, Choudary went free for years.
"Police say he was hard to prosecute because he chose his public words carefully," Frank says. Choudary had been trained as a lawyer and was scrupulous about not violating British law.
In fact, the BBC reports that counterterrorism officials spent some 20 years trying to find a way to prosecute Choudary for his radicalizing activities.
"Publication online of Choudary's pledge to support ISIS finally gave authorities what they needed to convict," Frank says.
Choudary was charged under the U.K.'s Terrorism Act and found guilty of encouraging support for the Islamic State. He showed no remorse, the judge in his case said, and had justified the "most appalling acts" of the Islamic State.
But sentencing Choudary to prison time carries risks of its own, as Raffaello Pantucci, the director of International Security Studies at the Royal United Services Institute, told Frank last month.
He should be in solitary but human rights lawyers have prevented others of his ilk from being put in solitary. To circumvent this, the gvmnt are saying they are going to implement jihadi wings, so the likes of Choudary can only preach to the converted.Cleric In U.K. Sentenced To 5 1/2 Years For Rallying Support For ISIS

Daily.
I also wonder how many people he could turn in prison?
Like i mentioned in the OP : I wonder how many people he could radicalize in prison in 5 1/2 years? Or in the case fo your post, another 25?He should be executed or at least a life sentence.
For so many reasons.
He's done exponential harm. He's infinitely more guilty than Charles Manson.
