I know thi...Thanks for your words of encouragement. I know this has been fun in a lot of ways for me also since 2003. Obviously it is also other peoples lives, which is why I can't join in Hamza baiting either. In my experience of him, he spoke against terrorism loudly on the street. What can I say?<BR/><BR/><BR/> Obviously for me its not quite the end, and hopefully for Atilla a new beginning. I had the same thing one time when I had a mini nervous breakdown and shaved my head.<BR/><BR/>Hopefully as his beard regrows his mind will also rebuild.<BR/><BR/>I am not sure that Hamid isn't the victim of an arrogant QC. A journalist told me Mr Bennathan was the best defence barrister he had seen, maybe Mr Bennathan thought so too. I told the guy I thought the jury would convict right at the beginning. No one listens to me. Whenever the idea of Atilla pleading guilty came up I said I thought it was a good idea.<BR/><BR/>It was interesting what the judge said about Hamid having two personalities. He blatantly liked one of them. Hamid has to work on loosing the other one or integrating it in a positive manner. <BR/><BR/>I hope the length of his sentence will still be affected by what he himself chooses to do from now on.DAVE BONEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207525118627449541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980742.post-56934593227670571612008-03-08T00:17:00.000+00:002008-03-08T00:17:00.000+00:00I feel the verdict in respect to Hamid was the rig...I feel the verdict in respect to Hamid was the right one. However, I do feel for his family, as they are the ones who will have to pick up the pieces now and go through the pain and sorrow of being there for Hamid througout his long prison sentence.<BR/><BR/>It would be disingenuous of me to say other wise but I genuinely would have preferred Hamid to have been a clown.African neoconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108398570525940294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980742.post-51176264846411002372008-03-08T00:09:00.000+00:002008-03-08T00:09:00.000+00:00It’s the end now: the coverage of the Trial by Dav...It’s the end now: the coverage of the Trial by Dave Bones of Malung TV News. I’ve enjoyed clicking onto the site be it at work or on my way home (on my Xda) to catch up with updates from the Hamid et al trial. There’s one thing that Dave has done, which I appreciate, and that’s present a different image of Atilla than what I have seen on TV many times and once in Speakers’ Corner.<BR/><BR/>Prior to the trial, I’ve also seen Atilla as the number two of Abu Hamza, which in my mind is akin to being a sympathiser of terrorism. But through Bones blogs I have seen a different side to Atilla (and I have posted on Bones blogs that may be it’s the side Atilla wanted Dave to see). Although I can’t say I believe Atilla to be innocent – I’m also finding it difficult [now] to believe he’s a committed terrorist. I guess what I’m trying to say is that there’s some doubt in my mind about Atilla, which must be a good thing, no? No doubt, others will say I haven’t been privy to the facts and if I were I wouldn’t have doubts about Atilla.<BR/><BR/>What I can say, is that Atilla has stated (I believe through a letter and shaving off his beard) his is a ‘reformed’ character now and I can only believe him. I wouldn’t classify myself as born-again Christian or a Church-going Christian but I’m a believer in Christ and I pray that the Lord gives Atilla the strength to become a better person and that the good Lord also comfort Atilla’s family through this sad ordeal. Even if Atilla is guilty and he is guilty according to the law, one must have sympathy for his family for they are the innocent and are now being punished for Atilla’s actions or inactions.African neoconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05108398570525940294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980742.post-76668666324287104772008-03-07T23:47:00.000+00:002008-03-07T23:47:00.000+00:00Its really impossible to tell.

He was told he had to<BR/><BR/> "Do some courses". <BR/><BR/>He had done 25 of these and was still inside after 5 years.<BR/><BR/>Although you are obviously happy, I obviously feel for Hamid's daughter who looked really lost, and to an extent I feel for Hamid too. I think the judge did too.<BR/><BR/>Obviously now the trial is over and I can say what I like I wonder if our nation hadn't got involved in military attacks against Muslim's whether we would have seen the same journey for Hamid.DAVE BONEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08207525118627449541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6980742.post-71630937608617754162008-03-07T23:25:00.000+00:002008-03-07T23:25:00.000+00:00About time Dave!
