FTA:

He told Copenhagen City Court last week: “I just praised Allah. I do that every day”, Danish broadcaster DR reported.

The Iraqi national was a former spokesman for the controversial organisation Called to Islam (Kaldet til Islam) which is said to advocate the introduction of Sharia Law in Denmark, according to Hate Speech International.

It was also revealed in court that he had been previously sentenced for threatening to decapitate the chairman of the Danish Syrian Association over his support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against Isis.

Should have deported him right away instead of 3 months and some conditions considering the above revelations.

FTA:

The term “encounter” is a widely understood euphemism for extra-judicial killings in Pakistan. Police accounts often say that criminal or terrorist suspects were shot after they resisted arrest or tried to ambush officers.....

“As far as they are concerned ‘encounters’ are the perfect way of getting rid of hardened criminals,” he said. “They do not consider it a gross violation of human rights and instead see it as an effective way of delivering justice.”

Looks like Philippines President Duterte has some competition.
