I don't expect this will generate much discussion. Still, it's worth posting this ... just to celebrate the fact that terrorist supporters over here in the UK don't always get their own way.
Cause for some celebration ...

Radical Islamic cleric Anjem Choudary has been found guilty by a British court of supporting the Islamic State group.
Reporting restrictions on a July 28 verdict by London’s Old Bailey court were lifted on Tuesday, which allowed the public to hear about the 49-year-old preacher’s fate. He and a 33-year-old associate, Mizanur Rahman, face up to 10 years in prison for inviting support of a banned organization.
Choudary showed no emotion after a jury of six men and six women found him guilty in late July, the U.K. Telegraph reported Tuesday. Sentencing for the two men will happen sometime in September.
“The evidence now shows that Anjem Choudary is one of the most dangerous men in Britain,” wrote BBC correspondent Dominic Casciani as news of the verdict broke. “Not a bomb-maker. Not a facilitator. But an ideologue, a thinker, who encouraged others not to stop and think for themselves before they turned to violence to implement their shared worldview.”
Interesting that a BBC man should think this, considering the platform they gave Choudary in the past ... !! ....

Angry listeners have today questioned why BBC bosses chose to give hate preacher Anjem Choudary the prime interview slot on the Today programme after two Muslim converts were found guilty of hacking a British solider to death.
The radical Islamist appeared on the corporation's Radio 4 show where he refused to condemn the horrific murder of Lee Rigby on the streets of London, despite repeated calls from presenter John Humphreys to do so.
Muslim converts Michael Adebolajo, 29, and Michael Adebowale, 22, were yesterday convicted of the young soldier’s brutal murder.
The pair were told they face life behind bars and will be sentenced in the new year.
