A Twitter user has been jailed for more than five years after using the platform to publish images encouraging the beheading of teachers for blasphemy against Islam
"Throughout the period of the indictment you expressed extreme Muslim ideology which included the immediate murder by beheading of anyone who you considered committed blasphemy against your religion," the judge added.
The defendant was said to be a follower of an extremist party in Pakistan called the Tehreek-e-Labbaik which takes a"well-known hard-line attitude" to what it considers to be insults directed at the religion of Islam and the Prophet Mohammed. However, the court heard that he had worked in a pizza shop, passed an English and business management diploma and qualified as a taxi driver in Nottingham.
