7. True enough; it a piece of crap
but the story is true.


From The Guardian:

A young Heathrow worker who wrote poems about beheading non-believers yesterday became the first woman to be convicted under new anti-terror laws.
Samina Malik, a 23-year-old Muslim from Southall, west London, who worked airside at a branch of WH Smith, burst into tears in the dock at the Old Bailey when the jury returned their verdict.

By a majority of 10 to one they found Malik, who called herself the "lyrical terrorist", guilty under the Terrorism Act 2000 of possessing records likely to be useful in terrorism.

Poems discovered at her home included two entitled How to Behead and The Living Martyrs. Malik, the jury was told, had written on the back of a receipt from the shop: "The desire within me increases every day to go for martyrdom."

Jonathan Sharp, prosecuting, said: "She is a committed Islamic extremist who supports terrorism and terrorists. She had a library of material that she had collected for terrorist purposes. That collection would be extremely useful for someone planning terrorist activity."

But you have a point; I should have used The Guardian, or The Telegraph or one of the dozens of other sources.
