Britain Finally Charges Terrorist Preacher Amjen Choudary For Inciting Terrorism

Finally.

Choudary, you may remember, was the Special Guest Jihadist invited by USAToday to give his view on the Charlie Hebdo Massacre; his view was "They were warned, they got some righteous holy attempted murder." (And btw, I have nothing against USAToday for seeking his views; it's about time the media stopped covering this stuff up.)

One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen was Choudary debating Pam Geller on Hannity over the proposition that she should, or should not be, murdered.

British authorities on Wednesday charged a radical preacher under the country’s terrorism act for inviting support for the Islamic State (IS) group through lectures published online.

Anjem Choudary, 48, is a well-known figure in Britain and is regularly interviewed by the media for his views on Islam and the Middle East. He is also the former leader of a banned radical group called al-Muhajiroun.

The Crown Prosecution Service said Choudary and a second man, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, 32, had been charged with inviting support for the IS group, a proscribed organisation, between June 29, 2014 and March 6, 2015....

"It is alleged that Anjem Choudary and Mohammed Rahman invited support for IS in individual lectures which were subsequently published online."

In various interviews, when asked if he supported ISIS, Choudary would not quite answer, because his answer would be inciting terrorism. What he would say is something like All good, faithful Muslims are required to support the Caliphate, without specifying if he himself was a good and faithful Muslim.

Seems like the British authorities have seen through that brilliant smokescreen.
