If you needed any more proof that Great Britain has sunk to new depths of dhimmitude you need to look no further than to Crown Court Judge Frank Chapman.
Judge Chapman recently presided over the two week trial of Hassan Tabbakh, a Syrian muslim asylum seeker, a physics graduate who also studied chemistry, and a fan of Al Qaeda, who was recently found guilty of a single count of preparing for acts of terrorism contrary to the 2006 Terrorism Act. Specifically Hassan "attempted to make bombs using nitrocellulose, fertiliser, white spirit and acetone, and had made handwritten notes stipulating the design of the devices". The bombs that Mr. Tabbakh was convicted of building were well on their way to being capable of causing major injuries, death and destruction.
Now would you believe that while passing sentence on this convicted terrorist -the judge felt the need to offer up an apology/explanation??? A terrorist who clearly wanted to murder British people? The same people who gave him a safe home and new life?
Well that is exactly what happened:
The judge wanted to be sure that Tabbakh didn't misunderstand the reasons behind his conviction and jail sentence thus "Judge Chapman stressed that Tabbakh was not being punished for his fundamentalist Muslim beliefs or his support for al Qaida or similar organisations. The judge told Tabbakh: "Provided you do not actively engage in terrorist activity, it's not a crime to hold those views."
Well I don't know about you but I feel relieved that the Judge Chapman told a fundamentalist muslim convicted terrorist that supporting Al Qaeda met with the judge's approval and support- we wouldn't want Tabbakh to think that the UK judicial system frowned upon a terrorist organisation now --would we???
The British people will also be happy to learn that Hassan Tabbakh was granted asylum in the UK and will be able to return to live amongst these same generous and hospitable people - whom he thanked by wanting to blast them to smithereens - when he is released from jail. Maybe then the police will also return the three thousand pounds ($6,000) that they found under Tabbakh's bed that he received as compensation (proceeds from an adjudicated lawsuit or complaint) from a local council that had provided him with "poor" accomodations.
You truly couldn't make this stuff up.

MAN JAILED FOR PLOT TO MAKE BOMBS
A Syrian immigrant who attempted to make bombs for al Qaida-style terror attacks after being granted asylum in the UK has been jailed for seven years.
Hassan Tabbakh was told by the Recorder of Birmingham, Judge Frank Chapman, that the devices he created could have been developed into viable bombs capable of causing destruction and death. Jailing Tabbakh, Judge Chapman said it was fortunate the 38-year-old's activities had been "nipped in the bud" before he had devised a working bomb.
Tabbakh, of Camelot Way, Small Heath, Birmingham, was convicted of a single count of preparing for acts of terrorism contrary to the 2006 Terrorism Act following a two-week trial at the city's Crown Court.
A jury was told that the physics graduate, who had also studied chemistry, attempted to make bombs using nitrocellulose, fertiliser, white spirit and acetone, and had made handwritten notes stipulating the design of the devices.
Passing sentence, Judge Chapman stressed that Tabbakh was not being punished for his fundamentalist Muslim beliefs or his support for al Qaida or similar organisations. The judge told Tabbakh: "Provided you do not actively engage in terrorist activity, it's not a crime to hold those views.
"It's true that the materials you in fact had were so inferior, so third rate, that they would not themselves have made a viable bomb. But the fault was with the quality of materials and not in the concept.
"If you had developed this concept into a working bomb, there would have been great potential for destruction, injury and death."
After Tabbakh was found guilty, it emerged that he was given indefinite leave to remain in the UK in 2005 after lodging an application for asylum.
It was also revealed that £3,000 in cash was found by police under Tabbakh's bed, which he had been given as compensation by a council which provided him with poor accommodation.
The former student, who claims to have been tortured in his homeland, arrived in Britain in either 1999 or 2000, initially living in Hull.
As you say, you couldn't make this up.........

According to that stupid British judge, it's okay to join Al-Qaeda and commit all sorts of mayhem with them. That British judge is indeed dangerous besides being exceedingly stupid.

Not quite as stupid as the ( female, oddly enough ) German judge who freed a Turk after he had duffed up his wife in Gemany. The judge said he'd done it for 'cultural' reasons. SO, THE DEAR LADY JUDGE GAVE THE GREEN LIGHT TO OUR CULTIST FRIENDS TO DO AS THEY PLEASE. Pity she didn't do her REAL job, which was to give the poor beaten-up lady ( and others) the protection of the German law. However, this Chapman fellow doesn't seem too far behind her.

WHO WERE WE?
WE MUSLIMS, ESPECIALLY FROM PAKISTAN & INDIAN ORIGIN, SHOULD REALISE THAT WE WERE RUTHLESSLY CONVERTED TO ISLAM OVER THE YEARS. ALSO READ:

nigarkhan, I'm sorry to hear that. I don't know where you're from, but here in the USA we have freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom of assembly. We're even free to call an evil Muslim an evil Muslim without fear. I call the violent Muslim Qur'an the MUSLIM WAR MANUAL because that's exactly what it is. Example: "Be ruthless to the infidels,"(Sura 48 Verse 29).
I can also say that many Muslim Imams are very stupid and violent because it's the truth. Who will touch me? No one.

Philip, you're very lucky to have all these freedoms. In the UK,we have no actual written constitution. We've always depended on concepts like 'fair play' and 'common sense.' These are now sadly going down the drain, with inadequate, venal politicians only interested in vote-catching for their own, selfish, short term interests.
Posted by: Jerry | August 02, 2008 at 11:44 PM
Philip - yes, you have those freedoms at the moment. At the moment.
From what I read in the US you are starting to get more and more of the same kinds of problems as we Brits and other Euros.
I do wonder which nation will be the first to rise up against the Mozzas?
When one nation stands up the others will slowly awaken to it.
Only then can we keep the freedoms our forefathers died to defend - it would be dishonourable of us not to be willing to do the same thing for our children.

Vampire Jack, I'm sure we'll always have those freedoms: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion.
We're also free to arms ourselves, and most of us are armed. We become exceedingly angry when, especially liberals, try to take those freedoms away from us. I'm very sure that if it comes to blows, we who love our freedoms, will fight for them with mortal arms if need to. Many of us are like Patrick Henry, who said: "Give me liberty or give me death." We really mean that. Not only that, but we fight for others. I'm not bragging, but in the last 90 years we went to the defense of Europe and saved it. We don't get much thanks for it especially from the French. But that's okay. There are still very good people in other countries, especially the children. So we'll save them if we can.
I personally led an army not too long ago in another country and together with a small army conquered a huge satanic empire that was preying on little children. We cleaned out an empire of about 6,000 satanic jerks who were kidnapping little children everyday and then doing with them what satanic jerks do to little children. They will never do again, NOT EVER. I won't tell you when or where it happened, but I will say that it wasn't too long ago.
UNITE AND FIGHT FOR COMMON FREEDOMS. GOD BLESS YOU.
I won't say "may Allah bless you" because Allah is another name for Satan. I nearly always conjoin the two names like this: Satan/Allah or Allah/Satan.
Don't be afraid to call on the God of Truth, the God of the Christians and Jews. The God of Truth is right the opposite of Satan/Allah. My God teaches us to love our neighbor. On the other hand, the god of Muslims, Satan/Allah, teaches to "Slay the unbelievers wherever you catch them,"(Sura 2 Verse 191 of the Muslim War Manual, the violent, filthy Muslim Qur'an).
We are uniting and we're getting stronger daily because we see war clouds in the horizon. The evil Muslims, children of Satan/Allah will never overtake us. It's "give me liberty or give me death."

Is it unreasonable to assume that, beyond a certain point, the frustrations of the British people will boil over at these idiotic judgements, and they will begin to take the law in to their OWN hands?? Look folks, if these crazed, lunatic islamo-whackos are allowed to go free, what's to say some equally 'crazed', equally 'lunatic' Brit may not decide that a little vigilante justice is called for?? Don't the police or the courts realize that, pushed far enough, the citizenry is likely to react on its own against these pathetic examples of British jurisprudence? You folks are rapidly approaching a point when I suspect there will be a violent reaction amongst the populace. Your Labour party has gone entirely too far in appeasing the islamic wolves at the door--it's time to take your country back!
