UK: Muslim who stabbed MP under al-Awlaki's influence gets life of prison dawah

Posted by Robert on November 3, 2010 2:34 PM

"You said it was worth it. You said you wanted to be a martyr," said the judge, who nonetheless still termed her cause "political." An update on [1] this story. "Student Gets Life Term For MP Murder Bid," by Gary Mitchell for [2] Sky News Online, November 3 (thanks to Steven):

A student who tried to kill a Labour MP after being inspired by a radical al Qaeda cleric has been jailed for life.

Roshonara Choudhry, 21, stabbed Stephen Timms twice in the stomach after watching online sermons by US-born extremist Anwar al-Awlaki.

Choudhry's attack on the former Treasury minister - who she resented because he voted for the Iraq war - is thought to be the first al Qaeda-inspired attempt to assassinate a politician on British soil.

She knifed 55-year-old East Ham MP Mr Timms as he held a constituency surgery at the Beckton Globe community centre in east London in May....

Choudhry, of Central Park Road, East Ham, east London, was found guilty of attempted murder and two counts of having an offensive weapon and faces at least 15 years in prison....

Mr Justice Cooke, sentencing Choudhry, said: "You said it was worth it. You said you wanted to be a martyr."

He said that if Choudhry had succeeded in killing Mr Timms he would have given her a whole-life sentence, meaning she would never be released.

He told her: "You intended to kill in a political cause and to strike at those in Government by doing so.

"You did so as a matter of deliberate decision-making, however skewed your reasons, from listening to those Muslims who incite such action on the internet.

"You are an intelligent young lady who has absorbed immoral ideas and wrong patterns of thinking and attitudes."

He continued: "You do not suffer from any mental disease. You have simply committed evil acts coolly and deliberately."

The court heard that Choudhry was a high-flying university student at King's College London who had hoped to become a teacher, but dropped out weeks before the attack....

A "high-flying university student"? But isn't terrorism the product of poverty and ignorance? Isn't that what the learned analysts always tell us?

Russell Grant’s Daily Horoscopes for Thursday 28 January 2010

Weekly HoroscopesHoroscopes
.

.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Drawing attention to an abusive situation will be futile. The deck is stacked against you. Your only course of action is to find a healthier situation. Don’t limit your search to a particular industry or salary. You could find a very fulfilling job related to childcare, hospitality or farming. Once you make the change, you’ll realise how miserable you were in your previous job. Places of employment take their cues from the top. If the boss is a disorganised, problems trickle down to the very bottom.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) If you’re going to accomplish your goals, you need to get specific. Instead of thinking in vagaries, construct a step by step plan. It could include signing up for a class, joining an employment agency, going on three dates a month, learning three new words of a foreign language per day…anything that is specific and quantifiable counts. The first step is always hardest. Once you follow your programme for thirty days, it will become an ingrained habit, and you’ll be on your way to success.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Achieving intimacy is impossible if the other person is always harbouring secrets. Although you once enjoyed the mystery surrounding your lover, now it worries you. Maybe it’s time to part ways, at least for the short term. You can’t afford to give your heart to someone who isn’t being honest. If you’re single, it may be because you are looking for some ideal that doesn’t exist. Instead of seeking the love of your life, focus on having fun. The passion will come later.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) You’re indecisive about an intimate relationship and part of the problem is that you don’t know your own heart. Although an admirer’s attentions are flattering, they don’t push all your buttons. You’re looking for a lover who makes you feel weak in the knees. Hold out for the real thing, even if there aren’t any good candidates on the horizon right now. If you’re already in a relationship, you need to spice things up in the bedroom before you and your partner drift further apart.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) All your best laid plans could be derailed, thanks to an unforeseen emergency. Instead of dwelling on your disappointment, take a deep breath and get some perspective. There will be plenty of time to run errands and meet with friends later. Right now, you’ve got to live in the moment. Although being in distress mode is never pleasant, it does force you to take an objective look at your life. Maybe you’ve been spending too much time on useless activities, when you should be having fun.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Taking a stupid risk will backfire. Stick to the tried and true, even if you are bored. A child’s temper tantrums are wearing on your nerves. Instead of punishing your young friend, have a heart to heart talk. You may be surprised to learn how much this youngster yearns for your company. By scaling back your work schedule and making more quality time for this child, you’ll notice a marked improvement in their behaviour. It’s time to get your priorities straight.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) A relative won’t admit to his or her wrongdoing. Pressing this family member for the truth is a waste of time. You’re better off focusing on your future rather dwelling on your past. If you’re having difficulty breaking into your desired industry, you should lower your expectations. Be willing to work as an apprentice for a respected expert. The pay will be minimal, but the experience you’ll gain will be invaluable. Everybody needs to sacrifice to realise their dreams.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Information overload is sapping your energy. You need to simplify your life. Whether this means reducing your hours at work, narrowing your social circle or cleaning the clutter from your home, get to work. If you’re in education, it may be necessary to suspend your studies until life settles down. This is really heartbreaking, but there’s only so much you can do with one pair of hands. Once you make the break, you’ll feel as though a weight has been lifted from your shoulders.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) You’ve got to take a good, hard look at your financial situation. Just because you’re not materialistic doesn’t mean money is irrelevant. You need to take steps to protect you from insolvency. If you have debts that have spiralled out of control, create a plan for paying them off. It may take years, but it can be done. Enlist the aid of a money manager if you’re not sure how to consolidate your credit cards and lower their interest rates.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Trying to talk reason to a stubborn friend, colleague or romantic partner will be futile. They seem determined to follow a particularly wrongheaded course of action, and nothing you say will change their mind. Of course, you will have the last laugh, but it will be a hollow victory. Instead of obsessing over this distressing situation, move your focus elsewhere. Writing or teaching will be a welcome distraction, and be an outlet for all your frustrations, too.

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Keeping secrets from a loved one is tearing your relationship apart. At some level, you fear your friend will reject you once they know the truth. Your instincts may be correct, but this doesn’t justify your deceptions. Take a deep breath and come clean. Be ready to accept the consequences. At the very least, you won’t get caught in your own lie. Besides, it’s entirely possible your loved one will accept the situation and try to build a new future with you.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) The dream that once captured your imagination has crumbled to dust. Although this is heartbreaking, it is also liberating. Now you’re able to make new plans in keeping with your current situation. Whether this means settling down to a happy home life, getting a pet or finding a rewarding job, you have gained something. Sure, you need to grieve this loss, but sooner or later, you’ll notice a glimmer of sunlight emerging from the clouds. When it happens, you’ll know you are healed.
