Anjem Choudary guilty of inviting IS support

[abaris]

Honestly it's good that he got that many at least. Inciting people to support a terrorist group is a very passive crime, compared to, say, actually ordering people to commit terrorist attacks. Choudary knew (or thought he knew) where the line was drawn for years, and he only barely went over it this time.

Well, people like him belong in jail. What I don't understand is all the cheering going on over this, as if it was a big game changing victory. It won't help. I'm watching all these news about killing #1, #2 or encarcerating this or that terrorist for over a decade now. And all I feel is contempt over the ones making this newsworthy. Good riddance, yes, but the situation hasn't exactly improved by killing all these people or putting them in jail. It's just another populous move, gorilla chest pounding style, to give the population something when in reality they haven't got anything going for them.

So, yes, he's in jail now. Good. Another one will take his place, and then another one and another one. There's a root problem to be adressed and the fact that the situation got worse over the last 15 years points to them doing it the wrong way.
