There was no sufficient evidence to charge or prosecute Babar Ahmad and Talha Ahsan.
Talha Ahsan was detained for 6 years, before his extradition.
There is supposed to be an offence in both countries to cause an extradition but no offence in the UK.
The website, was taken down around 9/11.
He would deny the charges, wouldn't he?
And you know that he's innocent do you? You're regurgitating propaganda from Islamists - of course they're going to say that he's innocent no matter what, he's one of theirs remember! There's no excuse for us as people with Asperger's to fall into the same trap.
Anyway:
Running a website where well-known terrorists and their supporters met and where he helped spport to terrorists is pretty serious. (I don't care if it was pre 9/11 or not, it's still pretty serious. The authorities would feel the same way in Britain - I hope - if there were similar websites operating for, as an example, Irish Republican terrorists.
Conspiring to kill, kidnap maim or injure persons or damage property in a foreign country.
I suspect the other major point in this is that, unlike McKinnon, this man is wanted for terrorist offences. McKinnon, for all his arseholery, wasn't a terrorist.
That said, I do think we should be getting rid of the 2003 Extradition Act - it's an unfair and unbalanced piece of legislation.
