@MarioNawfal Both men convicted today had claimed asylum here.
Sepahvand arrived hidden in a lorry in 2016 and Javadi Manesh came by small boat in December 2019, the CPS told their first hearing.
A London mosque warned over its sermons has decided to fight the regulator.
The Charity Commission gave Lewisham Islamic Centre an official warning on 20 October, made public yesterday, over two "inflammatory, divisive" sermons.
PA reports one was by imam Shakeel Begg after 7 October 2023, on "suffering at the hands of the oppressors and the Zionists".
Another, in August 2024, said the Southport rioters' "manipulators are Zionists".
The centre is taking legal advice and wants other mosques to join "a united challenge to an overbearing commission".
In 2016 a High Court judge found Begg "clearly promotes and encourages violence in support of Islam".
Both killers of Fusilier Lee Rigby attended Friday prayers there, the same judgment notes.
Islamists don't enter Parliament or Congress to serve your country. They enter to settle scores with it. Their next move? REVENGE. Remember that word. You'll soon understand why. Your soldiers defeat terrorists? They'll condemn the operation. Your country grows stronger? They'll oppose it. Iran's Islamic regime threatens your nation? Suddenly, they're experts in diplomacy, restraint, and understanding the enemy.
They'll find a thousand reasons to oppose anything that makes your country great again, and a million excuses for those who want to bring it down.
STOP trying to be more Muslim than us. We know the Muslim Brotherhood. We recognize its extremist ideology when we see it. We've seen this movie, studied the script, identified the actors, and watched the disastrous ending.
Ban the Muslim Brotherhood before its supporters gain enough power to make even naming it a political crime.
The greatest trick of political Islam isn't getting you to vote for it.
It's teaching you to call patriotism extremism, surrender tolerance, and the dismantling of your own civilization progress.
Congratulations. You didn't defeat extremism. You gave it a parliamentary seat, a taxpayer-funded salary, and a microphone to lecture you about democracy.
@DangerousThinkg@GAZAWOOD2 The issue that is the scary concern is not that they are creating such funny nonsense but that they know there is a large market for actually believing it.
Despite the fact that Israel warned the UK about the RAF Fairford attack that failed and if they had succeeded and blew up the US refueling planes the UK and the US would have probably nuked Iran and everyone in the UK would now be fighting over the last can of beans in the supermarket.
Today the UN is set to give Iran a seat on the committee that sets its priorities on women's rights and counterterrorism.
No, this is not a joke.
The General Assembly meets this morning in New York to approve Iran for the Committee for Programme and Coordination.
It will pass by acclamation, without a vote, unless one country objects.
Iran was nominated in April by the UN's 54 member Economic and Social Council. Only the United States objected.
Britain sits on that council and said nothing.
In 2022 the UN threw Iran off its Commission on the Status of Women after Mahsa Amini, 22, died in morality police custody following her arrest over her headscarf.
Britain is on today's slate too, alongside Israel, the US and Germany, and will be elected to the same committee as Tehran.
US counter security actions against Iran threats are reaching a new level of intensity:
A US Army soldier based at NATO's headquarters in Britain has been arrested on suspicion of spying for Russia.
The 41 year old "senior soldier" served at Imjin Barracks near Gloucester, home of NATO's Allied Rapid Reaction Corps. Counter Terrorism Policing detained him on Tuesday, working with the FBI.
It caps six weeks of US security moves in Britain:
In late September, three vans loaded with fuel barrels drove towards RAF Fairford in an alleged Iran backed plot. The US later pulled its B1 bombers out of the base.
On Monday the US moved 10 tankers and 3 Ospreys out of RAF Mildenhall over an Iran threat. Mildenhall and Lakenheath went to FPCON Charlie, the alert level used when terrorist action is likely.
In Washington, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has moved onto a military base after Iranian threats on his life, joining Rubio and Hegseth.
Police say the spy case is not linked to the Iran plots.
@visegrad24 This is happening in Afirca but with real explosives. It is not happening even with fireworks in Egypt, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Iran, Iraq or any other Islamic country where there are no faiths other than Islam.
Let that sink in...
Egypt has just put the Muslim Association of Britain on its terror list.
A Cairo court listed 35 Europe based organisations and 36 individuals as Muslim Brotherhood terrorist entities for five years.
British based Anas al Tikriti is among the names.
Britain already knew.
In 2015 the government's own Muslim Brotherhood review found the Brotherhood "dominated" the Muslim Association of Britain and "played an important role in establishing and then running" the Muslim Council of Britain.
The MCB itself confirmed in 2015 that Muslim Association of Britain is one of its national affiliates.
Egypt now joins Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Jordan in banning the Brotherhood.
The UAE put MAB on its own terror list back in 2014.
A decade after its own review, Britain has banned neither group.
The man behind the failed terror attack on RAF Fairford has been identified by the FBI.
He is Mohammad al Saadi, 32, a commander in Kataib Hezbollah, the Iran backed Iraqi militia.
He did it from a jail cell in Brooklyn. US prosecutors say he passed coded orders through phone calls to his family in Iraq.
On 24 September he told them: "Give him money so we can do it."
Three days later, three vans loaded with fuel barrels and disguised as delivery vans drove towards the base. At least two were stopped at a security roadblock.
His network is also charged over 18 attacks in Europe this spring. Seven of them were in Britain, including an explosive attack on a London synagogue and the stabbing of two Jewish men.
Fun Fact: Ed Miliband's father, Ralph Miliband, wrote the following influential texts on Marxist theory and critism of capitalism:
Parliamentary Socialism (1961)
The State in Capitalist Society (1969)
He became one of the leading figures of the British "New Left" movement. He taught for many years at the London School of Economics and served as a professor of politics at the University of Leeds.
Ed has literally been groomed since he as a child to be a Marxist.
@WallStreetApes Compared to the UK this speech is very positive. It means that your everyday none Blue Green allied liberal is waking up. In the UK they are all still asleep.
@SkyNews MoD says aircraft "move regularly according to operational requirements."
The US has put Mildenhall and Lakenheath on FPCON Charlie, the level used when intelligence says terrorist action is likely.
Mildenhall is the second US base thinned out since the bombers left Fairford.
It's Russia dressed as Iran. Or Iran is the Trojan horse containing Russia.
The UK sent Storm Shadow missiles to the Ukraine and has granted £12 billion pounds for the Ukraine this year alone. France is equally funding the war.
Putin said "If the UK provides Ukraine with Storm Shadow missiles we will retaliate."
