Dorset man admits terror charges
11:32am Friday 15th March 2013 in News
Richard Dart, the son of two Dorset teachers
Muslim convert Richard Dart admitted terrorism charges at the Old Bailey today.
Dart, Imran Mahmood and Jahangir Alom pleaded guilty to preparing for terrorism or assisting another in terrorism, between July 2010 and July last year.
Dart, 29, originally from Weymouth, but now living in west London, Mahmood, 21, from Northolt, west London, and Alom, 26, of Stratford, east London, were arrested between July 5 and 7 last year.
The charges said they travelled to Pakistan for terror training, travelled abroad to commit acts of terrorism and provided information about travel to Pakistan, terrorism training and operational security while there.
They appeared before Mr Justice Simon by prison video-link for a plea and case management hearing. The men had been due to face trial next month.
Dart, the son of teachers from Dorset, appeared in a BBC Three documentary made by his stepbrother after Dart converted to Islam.
In the film, My Brother The Islamist, Dart was said to have been turned into an extremist in months after joining the Muslims Against Crusades group.
Dart, who was said to have changed his name of Salahuddin al-Britani, had reportedly worked as a police community support officer and a BBC security guard.
He fell under the spell of controversial preacher Anjem Choudary while studying carpentry at college in West London.
He said his first meeting with the radical preacher changed his life forever, He gave up drinking alcohol, eating pork and announced he would be happy to fight and die overseas to defeat Western aggression against Islam.

Why not save the hard stretched taxpayer a load of money and see if this moron would like to try and convert my son and some of his chums on their return from Afghan in a few weeks.??? In a locked room of cause :)
Or will they use the same violence used by terrorists to enact our DEMOCRATIC justice?

Anyone from this country is entitled to change its religion, its called democracy, but to change their religion and then use this as an entry into terrorism against their own countryman is dispicable.

I have my thoughts, but one is not permitted to say so on this forum, and quite rightly so.

Oh I'm certain they will use the same justice being dealt out to them. Democratic!!! you ARE having al laugh. when were YOU last blown up by an IED?? Terrorists are waging war and as such get their just deserts, basically IF he's from the UK, it should be classed as treason against the State and as such a bullet is too good for them, but they'd make good target practice :)
They'd rather have our arms.
However unlike Britain, they haven't spent the past millennium marauding throughout the globe, killing and robbing from "lesser" peoples.
These peoples have since become nations, who just seem to be saying GET OFF MY LAND.

Off is the 2nd word, you can choose your own to go in front. No doubt you'd like us not to help those being slaughtered in Syria, it's not our land, so ignore it and the problem will go away. Still, no point trying to talk any sense to those who are so narrow minded and don't WANT to see what's happening abroad with "Our lot"!! Your basically condoning terrorism and Dictators from your comments, you should be ashamed...

Yes What ever happened to the crime of treason,is there no such thing anymore.
This needs a darned good rethink to deal with these 'vipers in our nest' living within the UK and reaping all the benefits of our democratic freedoms.

This 'billy-no-mates' would have eventually been convinced by these scumbags to become a suicide bomber and how they would laugh at him blowing up his own people
Who? What? Google him he's a brilliantly funny creation of ventriloquist Jeff Dunham!

I also referred to the Khyber pass in Afghanistan, which also raffled some feathers.
God save The Empire, which century are we in Echo editors?
