Doesn't surprise me that much really. Your child doesn't just decide to join Isis their must of been family influence on that girl.

StillProcrastinating · 27/03/2015 18:39

Yes, but it's good that they've discovered this. Some honest conversations might now happen.

Kittykatmary · 27/03/2015 18:40

And Anjem Choudary is just a peice of sewage.

Madamecastafiore · 27/03/2015 18:41

I thought it was the police and school that were at fault here not the parents???

SaucyJack · 27/03/2015 18:43

YANBU in not being surprised she's from a conservative Muslim background.

But if you're trying to pretend that anyone who's ever attended a protest rally is therefore a terrorist we shall have to agree to disagree.

Pyjamasandwine · 27/03/2015 18:43

Well at least this should stop compensation claims.

And no not surprised in the slightest.

'The Met said it would examine the footage of Mr Hussen but it is unlikely offences will have been committed. Insiders point out that marches against US and Israeli foreign policy attract a wide range of protesters.'

ie it's not only extremists who exercise the right to demonstrate.

FaceofNubia · 27/03/2015 18:46

How interesting, he really needs his teddy bear now!

Pyjamasandwine · 27/03/2015 18:48

saucy I don't think the op is suggesting that but in this case the sermons preached by choudary were hateful. No one could listen to him and be in any dought of that.

Of course these girls may just be stupid teens who are pursuing their heroes, Isis fighters, rather than influenced by a cause.

SouthernComforts · 27/03/2015 18:49

No it isn't just terrorists that attend protests but I wouldn't attend a rally led by Choudary for the same reasons I wouldn't attend a BNP or Neo Nazi rally. Being there and does affiliate you with those views.

SouthernComforts · 27/03/2015 18:50

Ignore the random 'and' in that last sentence.

Saucy I never suggested he was a terrorist. But the man blamed the school, the police, the government, the internet and uncle Tom Cobley and all.
I also wouldn't be suprised if he did recieve the letter from the police about which he screamed for an apology whilst all the time associating with Choudary

I watched him in that committee and thought, " poor man, out of his depth, hardly speaks English, lost in another culture, the poor man has no idea what his DD's are up too at all....like many fathers of 15 years old, but particularly in this situation with them speaking a different language"

And its stupid idiots like me, have let all this take root and get a hold.

Time to wake up and smell the roses.

funnyossity · 27/03/2015 19:53

I thought the rally was to protest about something (a film?) that was mocking Islam? Choudary was also there but I didn't read he had organised it; he would be a tag along.

I can see that a conservative religious person could go on such a march and not be pro-ISIS.

This.

Im not suprised either. In fact it shows the mentality of him. Blaming the police instead of looking at his own hard line views that obviously were talked about in is home.

You reap what you sow I'm afraid

Joyfulldeathsquad · 27/03/2015 20:03

I doubt Choudhry 'tags' along anywhere.

Conservative ? Yes . Because conservative religious people burn flags Confused

ElizabethLemon · 27/03/2015 20:06

Yanbu

Methe · 27/03/2015 20:06

It don't surprise me in the slightest tbh.

HermioneWeasley · 27/03/2015 20:12

Agree, not surprising that they were actually from radical/conservative families.

I don't think freedom of speech should be allowed to invoke hate and express statements that are incompatible with human rights and a democratic society. So criticise the government = fine, calling for terrorist action, the deaths of innocents or wanting to over throw democracy and impose sharia law = not ok.

For me the main point is that he tried to say there were never any discussions in the house about Isis etc. Tbh he tried to make out he was just a simple humble immigrant. I never bought it. Attending a rally or protest suggests you're a politically active person. Attending an extremist rally doesn't make you a terrorist but it does suggest you have extreme views. The girls cannot have been unaware of their dad's views.
Imo people like that can fuck off back to their own country where they'd get a massive shock. But in nice Britain we invite them to speak to our mps in parliament and let them come up with a sob story.

funnyossity · 27/03/2015 20:19

I think burning flags ( or books) is inflammatory - excuse the pun- and the police should intervene.

Fundamentalist is probably a better term than conservative. Not all religious fundamentalists take to violence.

MrsAidanTurner · 27/03/2015 20:21
  • The protest was led by the hate preacher and notorious rabble rouser Anjem Choudary, who made a speech saying that Sharia would take over the entire world, including America and the UK

this implies choudary was very much involved and the father obv moved in circles that spoke of this sort of thing and felt strongly^ enough about it, to physically make the effort to go to rally.
