/// The Old Bailey heard today Ahmed's five home-schooled children, aged between six and 16, had suffered 'greatly' after she was arrested in July last year and held in custody. ///

Yes that's right judge return her home so that she can continue with the home - schooling of her 5 children, I wonder what will be the top of their curriculum?

I wonder if the powers that be, will appeal against this very dangerous verdict?

Spicerack - // If you dare suggest that some ABers defend islamist scum, you'll be met with howls of protest, ' Who, what, where, when?' 'Point out 1 post where anyone defends them'.
This is a classic. I must bookmark it. //

In the long established traditions of debate on the AB, invoking the 'Put up or shut up' section - would you care to pinpoint exactly which post you think is defending 'Islamist scum' so the poster(s) can address your point?

Wouldn't it, at least, be sensible to demand that she sends her children to mainstream schools?

[vetuste_ennemi]

Sure I posted on here earlier.

Anybody seen it?

Here, kitty, kitty!

Please mister, can I have my ball back?

v_e, odd. It was a good post.

andy-hughes, //Unlike you, I also think he might be a 'twitty do-gooding berk', but I am willing to wait and see, before condemning him in advance with no evidence except a media link//

Your choice.

You wouldn't use her language, but!!!

You are well know for your anti-West comments, perhaps like her, if you don't like the West, you are both welcome to leave.

AOG,
Just to be clear,

// do not matter to the 'Muslims' that allay themselves with the West.' //

Was not my words, it was the words of the woman in court. What I did say, and you have edited was:

// I wouldn’t use her language, but there is a certain hypocrisy of condemning attacks in France when we were killing Syrians civilians daily. //

Which I stand by, and is fact.

[Gromit]

// if you don't like the West, you are both welcome to leave. //

That’s an easy one. I like my country but I am going to criticise it when it does something wrong, like bombing Syria for the Americans.

There is a world of difference with innocent citizens getting inadvertently caught in a legitimate strike against the Daesh, with the intent trying to remove their violence and fundamentalist oppression in the longer term; and the deliberate attack on innocent citizens simply out of a desire to kill, maim, and shock. There is no hypocrisy.

[Old_Geezer]

At the very least there ought to be some way the authorities could ensure the children received proper schooling in an approved State school rather than risk them being indoctrinated into some kind of 'terrorism is good' world view by someone who has shown precisely that attitude publicly. Bet there isn't though.

In the present terrorist environment we now find ourselves in, was it wise to release this woman who obviously hates the West, so that she can preach her fundamentalist ideas to her children?

Once again you are pre-supposing that you - or indeed the courts - know what this woman will or will not teach her children.

You can't use the law to prevent someone from doing something simply because you think they might do it - that is The Thought Police and outside George Orwell's 1984, they don't exist.

I remember the man whose daughter ran off to Syria to marry a jihadist. When he was interviewed on television he cried. It subsequently transpired that he had attended extremist meetings in London. I think it's fair to say that parents, in general, teach their children what they themselves believe to be right. I, personally, wouldn't give this woman the benefit of the doubt.

I'm no legal eagle, Andy, but I'm pretty sure they can and do.

I'd be interested to see any examples - ?

What would you consider 'conspiracy charges' to be?
