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.

Lost the hand as well as an eye in Afghanistan. I suppose you could consider it a "work" related accident. Terrorism is his job, scumbag is his title.

I hope his jailers are showing the proper respect and observing the proper Koran handling techniques.

Nice, he gets to move on to the islamic recruiting system for awhile. He'll probably get 6 months and a fine.

He might very well walk out on the streets in 2 years.That's going to piss his followers off. What will they do for a complaint?

It could be unscrewed, I suppose, or maybe hooked to a chain on which to suspend him.

I'm so glad to see that all court systems world wide allow the defendant to do what they want, i.e. Saddam. It would be interesting to see at least one judge to act with authority. Ala the Al queda mystique: We are treated differently because we act indifferently.
