I can't understand the British judicial system, it seems there's a lot of insanity among their ranks. They let Mr Shah, a 21 year old Muslim man walk free after he wrote "Islam will dominate the world" and other insults on the most hallowed ground - a war memorial. He also wrote "Obama is on his way" and "Kill Gordon Brown". He was arrested after his DNA was found on the discarded spray can.
But his lawyers said his actions were not motivated by religious hatred - they were "politically motivated". Apparently there's a loophole in the law and he walked away with a two-year conditional discharge (whatever that means) and an order to pay the council $1000 to clean up his mess on the war memorial. The court heard that Mr Shah had shown no remorse.
I wonder how our Australian judicial system would have handled this situation if happened to one of our Anzac memorials - a lot better I hope.
