It seems like yesterday when the world was horrified by the open and brutal hacking and murder of British solider Lee Rigby . Today, Michael Adebolajo 29 who spearheaded it got life imprisonment, and 22 year old Michael Adebowale 45 years behind bars meaning he could be back on the streets by the age of 67.During sentencing, the two Muslim extremists yelled 'Allahu Akbar' and 'You (Britain) and America will never be safe.The pair fought with security guards before they were sentenced and were bundled out of the dock at the Old Bailey in central London.The struggle in the dock was triggered when the killers, both wearing Islamic robes, reacted angrily to comments that Mr Justice Sweeney made about their extremist beliefs.
He told them: ‘
The Judge said...
They both claimed that they were ‘soldiers of Allah’ and were motivated by the plight of Muslims abroad to carry out the killing, and have shown no remorse.
He told them: ‘
The Judge said...
"It is no exaggeration to say that what the two of you did resulted in a bloodbathYour sickening and pitiless conduct was in stark contrast to the compassion and bravery shown by the various women at the scene who tended to Lee Rigby's body and challenged what you had done and said.’You each converted to Islam some years ago. Thereafter you were radicalised and each became an extremist, espousing views which, as has been said elsewhere, are a betrayal of Islam.’Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale ran over Fusilier Rigby with a car before hacking him to death in the street in front of horrified onlookers near Woolwich Barracks in south-east London in May last year.
They both claimed that they were ‘soldiers of Allah’ and were motivated by the plight of Muslims abroad to carry out the killing, and have shown no remorse.
