Abu Hamza al-Masri sentenced

Unsurprisingly, mullah Abu Hamza has been sentenced to seven years' porridge. He's also liable to be deported to the US at the end of his sentence.

Passing sentence at the Old Bailey, Mr Justice Hughes told Abu Hamza: "I do not make the mistake that you represent Islamic thinking generally.

No one can say now what damage your words may have caused - no one can say whether any of your audiences, present or wider, acted on your words Mr Justice Hughes

"You are entitled to your views and in this country you are entitled to express them, but only up to the point where you incite murder or use language calculated to incite racial hatred. That is what you did."
