What a pair of pillocks
I'm struggling to match up these two comments:
"It would be wrong to pass a long sentence on someone who is obviously more taken with the vanity than the reality."
An alleged extremist, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was in the company of Abbas at the airport.
Me too, Supes!
Were they pretend guns he had?
Stockpiling weapons suggests, to me, that he was rather more serious than the judge seemed to think.

I just don't get it Bliz "Abbas was sentenced to .... one year for preparation for acts of terrorism" So was he preparing for acts of terrorism or not And if he was, the sentence is 1 year
PS Bliz: Where's DJ when we need him?
Very confusing, Supes.

The Iqbal family home in Percival Street, Blackburn, was searched and officers uncovered an armoury in a cabinet.
It contained numerous air rifles, knives, machetes, a sword, a crossbow, various ammunition, books on weaponry and hand-written notes on "attack planning" and "urban combat"
A desktop computer was also found to contain extremist material.
And this He said he had wanted to fly abroad because he had been offered a job as a teacher at a newly opened mosque...... Outside court, a friend of Mr Ahmed read a statement on his behalf, saying he had only been prosecuted because he was a Muslim.
Did you watch the vid in the park Bliz? ....Sure if I'd been in the park at the time, I'd have thought, "Ah shucks, nought to worry about there, it'll just be a homage to action hero, Arnold Schwarzenegger" 
And this on BBC:Police discovered extreme material Mr Ahmad had written, extremist speeches, martyrdom videos and mobile phone images of executions when they searched his home in Whalley Range, Manchester.
A further camcorder video tape allegedly showed Mr Iqbal holding a young boy and raising a machete.Playing the tape in court on Friday Mr Brown told the jury: "It is plainly a joke and he obviously has no intention of hurting the boy." The boy, aged about eight, is on camera in a room with two girls as Mr Iqbal holds the weapon and, in Urdu, says: "This is what I am going to do to somebody. God willing, when I find a Kuffar (non-believer), this Is how, I am going to take his head off."
