Muslim father of six charged with supporting the Islamic State

“He is accused of 11 offences – five of disseminating terrorist publications, one of preparation of terrorist acts, three of supporting Islamic State – a proscribed organisation, one of financing terrorism and one count of the collection of information on a mobile phone….Documents allegedly disseminated include The Book Of Jihad and the IS magazine Dabiq 5.” The British government has no idea why this keeps happening or how to deal with it, and persists in its fantasy that the Islamic State has nothing to do with Islam, and hence will have no appeal for Muslims within its tottering domains.

This father of six, in any case, is the new kind of father of six that the West is going to have to get used to — not quite like the old-style father of six.
