British Islamist Hate Preacher Indicted on New Terror Charges
25th July 2023
Radical Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has a long history of spreading militant radical Islamic ideology in the United Kingdom and has been an influential figure, having pledged his allegiance to the Islamic State and its former leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in 2014.
Choudary was found guilty by a British court of inviting support for the Islamic State and handed a five-year and six-month prison sentence in 2016, though he was released just two years later in 2018.
This week, the BBC reports that Choudary faces fresh terror-related charges and appeared in court where he was accused of taking part in meetings calling for others to support the radical Islamist group Al-Muhajiroun.
Wherever you go,
Whatever you do,
A Muslim waits there
To try to kill you.
