Would-be Scottish Jihadi Convicted

A moment of honesty. Just keep reading until you see teh funny in it. AP at Breitbart:

A jury at Glasgow's High Court found Mohammed Atif Siddique, 21, guilty of four terrorism offenses and also of causing a disturbance by telling fellow students he planned to become a suicide bomber.

Siddique, from the town of Clackmannanshire in central Scotland, had stored and posted guides to bomb-making, guns and explosives on a network of Web sites, prosecutors said.

Defense lawyer Aamer Anwar claimed Siddique was merely conducting research into his religion and was the victim of heightened sensitivity fed by terror attacks.

Bomb-making guides. Yup, sounds like he was merely conducting research into his religion to me alright......

Oh, and there's a Canada connection too. Thanks to Andrew Breitbart for the tip.
