"Radical UK cleric Anjem Choudary has been convicted of inviting others to support the so-called Islamic State group, it can now be reported.
Choudary, 49, drummed up support for the militant group in a series of talks posted on YouTube, the Old Bailey heard.
He was convicted alongside his confidant, Mohammed Mizanur Rahman.
The Met Police said many people tried for serious offences "attended lectures or speeches given by these men."
Counter-terrorism chiefs have spent almost 20 years trying to bring Choudary to trial, blaming him, and the proscribed organisations which he helped to run, for radicalising young men and women.
The verdict on the two defendants was delivered on 28 July, but for legal reasons can only now be reported."

He took full advantage of our tolerant society to preach intolerance. In many other countries he would have been at least slung in prison and at best put up against a wall.
I think the gentler side of prison life will be quite a lesson to him. Maybe with luck many blind eyes will be turned. I very much doubt some of his food will be anything I would go near!

Does this mean you approve of extra-judicial punishment, Jonjel? There are plenty of people who preach intolerance quite legally. It wouldn't be a tolerant society otherwise.

Then you'd have to support the actions of vigilantes whose motives you might find repugnant, like someone who attacks people working in a family planning clinic, say.
