Extremists screamed insults at an Old Bailey judge yesterday as a British Muslim was convicted of inciting murder during protests against the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.Umran Javed, 27, had shouted “Bomb, bomb USA” and “Jihad is the path to Allah” as he led a 300-strong crowd in chants during a demonstration in London last year.The unemployed web designer was a prominent figure in the rally outside the Danish embassy at the height of worldwide Muslim anger at the appearance of the cartoons in a Danish newspaper.
Javed was remanded in custody to be sentenced in April after an Old Bailey jury found him guilty by a majority verdict of soliciting murder and inciting racial hatred.
The offences are the same as those for which Abu Hamza al-Masri, the former imam of Finsbury Park mosque, was jailed for seven years. The maximum sentence for soliciting murder is life imprisonment.
There was uproar in court as the verdict was delivered and the Common Serjeant of London, Judge Brian Barker, QC, remanded Javed, a married father of one child, in custody.
One man was led from the public gallery by security guards after shouting: “Allahu Akbar [God is greatest], I curse the judge, the court, the jury, all of you.”
Well there we have it. This seems fair enough and it puts the proverbial marker down. British justice slow but sure.
One last thought – ought not those who hurled abuse at the Judge be charged with contempt of court? If I shouted such abuse I’m sure I would have been in the police cells untill I apologised.

I was wondering that myself about the person showing extreme contempt of court. I was thinking that this could be very interesting (and productive) if, at every trial, the judge would be able to come up with another group to throw in prison. They might have to get ol’ Joe Arpaio as a prison housing consultant then.
Justice isn’t always pretty, and is often slow, but it is our system.
Now, we wait for the sentence, to see if there truly is justice.
The last Muslim chappie to get done on this got 7 years. That’s the yardstick to keep in mind.
You are right, in the UK the judge has little or no influence over the jury (I would defend that statement – others would disagree)but it the the sentence they give that shows their bias, or not, as the case may be.
