How easy it is to practice deception (Taqiyya) on the Kaafir Brits
For planning to commit mass murder in the name of Islam, Muslim “scholar” Saajid Badat was sentenced yesterday to 13 years in prison, but he’ll probably be released in eight.
In a trial of the Shoe Bomber co-accused the British Judge Adrian Fulford said he believed that Saajid Badat backed out of an alleged plot with Reid, who was subdued by passengers when he attempted to detonate a bomb in his shoe aboard an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami on Dec. 22, 2001, with 197 people on board. And the judge said he believed Badat had a genuine change of heart. He said he balanced the need for strong deterrents in terrorism cases with Badat’s evident remorse.
"How easy it is to practice deception (Taqiyya) on the kafir Brits", this is what Saajid Badat would be saying to himself and laughing all the way out of the prison.

Judge Adrian Fulford said he believed that Saajid Badat backed out of an alleged plot with Reid, who was subdued by passengers when he attempted to detonate a bomb in his shoe aboard an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami on Dec. 22, 2001, with 197 people on board.
Prosecutors said Badat, 25, of Gloucester, England, conspired to detonate a bomb in a shoe on a different flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands, to the United States in a plan coordinated with Reid. But he had second thoughts and never bought a ticket for the flight. The U.S. destination of that flight was not specified in court. ...
British convicts typically are eligible for parole after serving two-thirds of their sentence, so Badat could be released in a little more than eight years.
Judge Fulford hopes that being nice to Badat may encourage other jihadis to have a similar change of heart.
But Badat’s apparent remorse was a factor in the more lenient sentence, Fulford said. “Turning away from crime in circumstances such as these constitutes a powerful mitigating factor,” the judge said. “It can take considerable courage to plead guilty to offenses of this kind.”
Fulford said Badat had been part of a plot to commit a “wicked and inhuman crime” that would have killed hundreds of people. “Sitting in the civilized and muted surroundings of the Old Bailey (courthouse), it is easy to forget exactly what you planned,” he told Badat.
But the judge said he believed Badat had a genuine change of heart. He said he balanced the need for strong deterrents in terrorism cases with Badat’s evident remorse.
Fulford said he hoped the sentence would send a message to others considering terrorism that a decision to turn away from violence would benefit them in court.
