LONDON - A British jury convicted radical Muslim cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri on Tuesday of fomenting racial hatred and inciting his followers to kill non-Muslims.
Al-Masri, 47, the former imam at London's Finsbury Park mosque, also was convicted of possessing a terrorist document and threatening or abusive recordings. Al-Masri, Britain's best-known Islamist orator, could receive a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The jury of seven men and five women found al-Masri guilty on seven of nine charges of soliciting murder. He also was convicted on two of four charges of stirring racial hatred.
Though asked to stand for the reading of the verdict, the firebrand preacher immediately sat down once the first guilty verdict was pronounced by the jury's foreman.
Lock him up and throw away the key!!!!!
It was the counts of soliciting murder
Looks like he'll have to wait for his virgins... may he live a long and claustrophic life, eventually ending in a painful fatal disease.
Abu Hamza, sling yer hook!
This is great. Now let's see what kind of sentence this slug gets. My fear is that the judge will wuss out.
Here's to the next sex slave for a tatoo-riddled drug kingpin.
Hang the bozo.
Too bad they don't have a death penalty. This guy will cause some serious trouble in prison. He should be kept in solitary confinement. What are they going to do about his hook? That could be a dangerous weapon.
"And on his right hand he has..."
"A HOOK!"
"A KNIFE!"
"NO! A piece of celery!"

Ugly.
It's important to treat them as they do us. Behead em and feed em to the hogs. He shouldn't care as he will be virginizing anyway.

By not having the death penalty for this, the UK has just doomed us all to "Free Al-masri" chants for the rest of our lives.
This makes it even more confusing as to why the protestors holding the signs calling for beheadings and terrorism weren't arrested earlier this week.
Another false reason for the next upcoming attack in London.
The thoughts in his head are even uglier.
