Judge Moves Muslim Terrorist’s Trial so He Can Observe Ramadan

I. can’t. even.

A Muslim on trial for jihad-related crimes gets his trial moved because it falls on Ramadan.  If the UK is so respectful of his religion, why is he on trial at all? He is a devout Muslim following the command to jihad. Respect it!

I only have to think about myself not eating or drinking for 19 hours

Judge Dodgson

A trial had originally been scheduled automatically for May 30, but the fixture was moved to a later date at the Old Bailey by Judge Paul Dodgson.

Judge Dodgson said: “I only have to think about myself not eating or drinking for 19 hours.”

He added: “This is not to be taken as a precedent for all trials involving devout Muslims.

A trial had been scheduled for May 30

“The date was fixed administratively but no consideration had been made for Ramadan.

“I would not be confident for someone to stand trial if I looked up and I thought he’s not fit to be here.”
