A courtroom erupted in protest today after a student who tried to murder a Labour MP was jailed for life with a minimum term of 15 years.
Roshonara Choudhry, 21, stabbed Stephen Timms twice in the stomach after being inspired by a radical Al Qaeda cleric linked to the air cargo bomb plot.
Her attack on the former Treasury minister is thought to be the first Al Qaeda-inspired attempt to assassinate a politician on British soil.
After the sentence was passed, a group of men began shouting in the public gallery 'Allahu akbar' ('God is great'), 'British go to hell' and 'Curse the judge'. A demonstration was also taking place outside the court.

1. Rumpole disapproves

2. What in the world did these people expect?

Attempted murder and they think that the would-be murderer gets off? How crazy can you get.

These are the people who give their religion a very, very bad reputation. How horrible.

3. Exactly!

They're suppose to be able to kill whomever they like?!

[CrawlingChaos]

11. presumably

they object to the British being able to kill whomever they like.

And "whomever they like" is usually Muslims.

4. Wasted her life. And for nothing.

And when you think of all the good she could have done for muslims of the word by actually CONTRIBUTING and BUILDING and using the skills and talents she obviously possessed, rather than murdering and terrorizing.

I mean, how many muslims will have cataracts removed from their vision as a result of what she did? How many muslims will be able to deliver their children with her assistance? How many muslim children will learn to read with her assistance? The answer to each of those is zero, of course, which is the same as what she's contributed towards efforts to enrich the life of muslims.

5. I hope MI5 will keep tabs on the supporters. I am sure they are.

6. You can count on it.

4 out of 5 AFP photographers agree, 4 out of 5 photographers are actually from AFP. ;)

7. Keep tabs on them? They should be deported! n/t

[MidwestTransplant]

8. may as well surveil them for a while!

9. What nationality are they, then? You seem to know.

Have you checked to see if their nations torture people like them? If so, your plan to deport them would be illegal.

[Rage for Order]

10. I'm guessing they were from Iceland?

If one's opinion is "British go to hell", why allow them to stay in Britain? Here are the anti-British disruptors

12. So obviously you have no idea of their nationality

The chances are they are British, born in Britain. This is the trouble with the kneejerk "send 'em back where they came from" mentality - they come from here.

For instance:
3 out of the 4 7/7 bombers were born in Britain (the 4th in Jamaica)
Anjem Choudary (who frequently turns up in these kind of protests) was born in Britain

And you haven't yet addressed the problem of sending people back to where they are likely to be tortured. Tony Blair didn't think that was a problem - he didn't see why the British government had to worry about it, since someone else would be doing the torturing. But international law is clear on it: you can't deport people when they are likely to be abused in their home country.
