Not that anyone here is in particular danger of getting done for libel, but looks like the name maybe false.
Admittedly I just did a very superficial search but wasn't he sentenced to 2 years in prison in January 2016?
The irony is he actually looks (and the alleged suspect is) Afro-Carribean. Which our American friends would describe as African-American. A man who was born in England, of Jamaican descent.
Wouldn't that probably mean he recently got out then?
Yeah I know I was wondering if @Sammsky new differently or was agreeing with the Reddit poster.
I dont agree at all, nor have I ever seen any major organisation classify Arabian countries as Asian.
According to the UN and pretty much every Encyclopedia the Middle East is part of Western Asia.

The Middle East can include parts of Asia and North Africa. If you include Turkey than it even includes a small piece of Europe.
I suspect they will go with radical Islamic terrorist... Infact I'm surprised Trump has not tweeted that already
They've probably hidden his phone until this all blows over
Channel 4 have just showed film of Izzadeen.
Yep. It took me about five years on this forum to catch on. We usually refer to south Asians as Indian or Pakistani.
Never knew that. Almost every global MNC ive worked with does not classify that way. Asia stops at Pakistan for all organisations I've seen.
Anyways it's semantics
Umm..the Asian Football Confederation does.
Couple of their journos are saying that sources say it is indeed him.
Any place east of and including Saudi is classed as Asia, geographically speaking.
Not good if it's a known extremist.
You're correct. However, in most general conversations Arab countries are referred as Middle Eastern.
I have no idea. If sentenced in January 2016 for two years, he should still be in jail unless there are reasons which allowed him to be released earlier. Given his record though, I'd be surprised if that had happened.
I'm by no means though an expert in the field, perhaps somebody with more knowledge can chime in.
He will have not long been released from prison too.
You don't ever use 'Oriental' over there? I've got a feeling that phrase may have gone the way of eskimo and been filed away as non-PC though.
Which is very Eurocentric. It should be classed as West Asia. That said politically the US includes Afghanistan, Pakistan and the majority of North Africa in the ME.
Yeah, that went out of favour years ago. Used to refer specifically to China, Japan, Koreas, Vietnam etc but then PC came along and someone figured out that the Orient Express stopped in Istanbul and asked how can it be called the Orient Express if it doesn't go anywhere near the far east and then someone else piped up that technically the Orient is the middle east and then nobody used it to describe Chinese food anymore.
Are we now going to be even stricter with the radical preachers? Will we be allowed to?
Never liked the NF approach but maybe the Police should step a side and let the feckers have it out.
Hopefully.
I think we should. they should not be allowed to break laws with speech.
Question becomes the boundaries of 'free speech' and who is restricted? I think radical cartoonists and journalist and politicians are just as inflammatory as radical preachers.
Plenty disagree and believe inflammatory remarks should be banned because of we should have absolute free speech.
If it is him, is Trump now going to ban everyone of WI descent.
Ah, that's how it happened. Never really considered the etymology. Saying that, isn't Oriental the east, as opposed to Occidental, the wes?
Yet another al-Muhajirun attacker. This guy's been notorious for over a decade now, should never have been let out of prison. Here he is talking about chopping heads:
As it seems as if this is indeed the guy, how long before we get Farage and the Kippers demanding a travel ban within the Commonwealth?
Paul Golding is the scumbag who turned his back on Sadiq Khan after it was announced he won the mayoralty.
