'How to Behead' Lyricist Wins Appeal

The UK really hit the trifecta today. Terrorists walk free, laptops with sensitive information are stolen and now this beast wins her appeal.

The Islamists will be paryting tonight.

A woman who called herself the "lyrical terrorist" and wrote a poem about beheading a hostage, won an appeal against a criminal conviction in London on Tuesday.

Samina Malik, 23, had been convicted last year of possessing documents useful to terrorists and was given a nine month suspended sentence.

A former employee at a newspaper kiosk at Heathrow airport, she had written poetry which prosecutors said advocated violent extremism, and also downloaded Islamist literature from the Internet.

One of her poems, "How to behead", was read out in court during her trial. It contained a description in detail of how to slice off a hostage's head.

Her conviction spurred controversy, with human rights groups arguing she had been convicted of a "thought crime" without having actually done anything dangerous.

The Court of Appeal threw out her conviction on Tuesday under a ruling from February that concluded documents need to actually be helpful to a terrorist, rather than merely encouraging terrorism, for possession to count as a crime.

This charming young lady was convicted last November.

Here's a sample of the lyrics human rights groups find unobjectionable.


Rather innocuous, no?
