AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - A court convicted nine Muslims on Friday of belonging to a terrorist group that incited hatred against non-Muslims and threatened to commit acts of terrorism.

Among the defendants was Mohammed Bouyeri, the convicted killer of filmmaker Theo van Gogh. Bouyeri, who already has been sentenced to life in prison for the Nov. 2, 2004, murder of Van Gogh, was found to be a leader of the group, but the judges said he could not be punished further.

The group's goal was "stirring up, and or inciting hatred, and or threatening" non-Muslims, the judges said.

The heaviest sentences were handed to Ismael Aknikh and Muslim convert Jason Walters, the son of an American soldier and a Dutch mother. The two were found guilty of attempted murder for throwing a hand grenade that wounded five police officers in a daylong standoff with police in The Hague the week following Van Gogh's murder.

Walters received 15 years in prison and Aknikh received 13.

The other members were given sentences ranging from one to five years..."

Make sure each Muslim is supplied with a Koran. Something with gold gilting, and leather-bound with pigskin.

I know what you mean...and I think you are right.

The judges are hinting that capital punishment shoud be reinstated in the Netherlands.

So - anyone want to start a pool as to when they will be released? My money is on 18 months for the ones sentenced to less than 20 years and 5 years for anyone sentenced to over 20 years.

Too bad there won't be public hanging at the Leidseplein....

This will be on the evening news tonight.... NOT

It's very simple. Muslims are just nuts. Intolerant barbarians and fascists. They want to take over the entire world.

Their religion is wrong, cruel, backwards, barbaric, worthless and stupid. It's crap, total crap. Simple as that.

Of course, that's just my opinion and I couldn't be wrong.

Netherlands will be the first country to fall to Sharia Law.

The muslim residents whose population numbers are skyrocketing and now dominating the Netherlands have voted in a majority of islam appeasing far leftists into their government.

I bet they serve half their sentences at most. Plus while in jail, they will be allowed to setup islamic conversion centers for the other prisoners.

And just like with Germany, if say someone from the Netherlands is kidnapped in Iraq, they will all be set free and on a plane for Syria in less than a week.

See the movie here and then explain to me how it is TROP.


The Prophet Muhammad said: "When We wish to destroy a city, we first give warning to those of its people who live in comfort to accept our commands. But if they reject us, judgment is irrevocably passed, and we wage utter annihilation." (The Qur'an - Sura 17:16)

I do wish FReepers would be more polite about these poor and marginalised men in these enlightened days of diversity. They are, after all members of the esteemed Dutch bombing and beheading community and as such we should as such respect their customs.

Kind regards.

[Chgogal]

It isn't. It's the TROJ. ;P

[sageb1]

What's the guy on the left doing?

[Rummyfan]

This picture says it all. Black Blobs watching a public hanging which uses 21st century technology to enforce the teachings of the sixth century pedophilic prophet!

How can we coexist with such people? Answer: we can't! It will eventually come down to them or us and our leaders better show some chutzpah (Yiddish use intentional!).

There is a possibility of an early release under Sharia Law. - tom
