British prosecutors charged one of the country’s most controversial Islamic preachers with supporting terrorism for comments published online allegedly praising Islamic State.
Anjem Choudary, a 48-year-old British-trained lawyer, pleaded not guilty in the opening court hearing Wednesday afternoon and expressed confidence that his actions didn’t break any laws.

Mr. Choudary, a mainstay on British airwaves and other media channels, holds some religious views similar to those of radical Islamic terror groups, yet he repeatedly has said he doesn’t support violence. He also boasts an exhaustive knowledge of the minutiae of British legal codes, a fact he mentioned in court.

The judge denied his motion for bail in the brief hearing in which prosecutors filed one charge of breaching the nation’s terrorism law against Mr. Choudary and one charge against another of his supporters, who also pleaded not guilty and who was also denied bail.
Britain’s chief prosecutor in charge of terrorism crimes said Wednesday that a lengthy investigation had resulted in enough evidence to secure a conviction under the Terrorism Act of 2000 for Mr. Choudary and Mohammed Rahman.

“It is alleged that Anjem Choudary and Mohammed Rahman invited support for ISIS in individual lectures which were subsequently published online,” said a statement from prosecutor Sue Hemming, using an alternate name for Islamic State. “Criminal proceedings have now commenced.”
Prosecutors say that the men voiced support for Islamic State between June 29, 2014 and March 6, 2015. The statement announcing the charge didn’t give further details. Mr. Choudary was arrested last September, accused of being a member of Islamic State. The prosecutors didn’t charge him with that offense.Read the rest of the story HERE.
