A court in the United Kingdom sentenced a man to four years in prison for sharing photos of himself holding a shotgun and spreading anti-Muslim messages online, BBC<\/em> reported.<\/p>\n Jay Davison of Cardiff, thirty-nine, published the "extremely offensive" messages in August 2018, he told a Cardiff Crown Court on Monday. He had urged people to "stand up" in posts on Instagram and Whatsapp.<\/p>\n A jury found him guilty of provoking religious hatred and two charges of provoking racial hatred. However, the same defendant was acquitted of two other charges of agitating religious hatred in a trial last month.<\/p>\n Judging Davison, Judge Tracey-Lloyd Clarke said: "The way and the way you behaved reveals something of your inner thoughts and so that you then take a picture with a firearm makes this matter so serious that only an immediate prison sentence is appropriate. "<\/p>\n Jenny Hopkins of the Crown Processing Service added: "This is a warning to people that posting material online can have detrimental consequences for them."<\/p>\n During the trial, prosecutor Jennifer Josephs said the charges were "extremely offensive."<\/p>\n "The images showed him the bare chest holding a shotgun. Then he left comments under those images. He was using language that you normally associate with white supremacists."<\/p>\n Davison denied the charges during the trial and said the photos were taken at a friend's house after a night of drinking, that he had no racist opinions and that he did not intend to incite racial hatred.<\/p>\n "It was a terrible trial in my name and I shouldn't have published it," he said. "I was stupid drunk. When I'm sober, I'm a completely different person."<\/p>\n Hashim Salman, the defense attorney, said: "Although it was not immediately eliminated, the time it took for Davison to achieve meaning and for those senses to prevail and eliminate the material was short … He is disgusted and ashamed of himself." .<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/pre>\n<\/pre>\n Source: https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1507099\/uk-court-sentences-man-to-4-years-in-jail-for-posting-anti-muslim-content-online<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A court in the United Kingdom sentenced a man to four years in prison for sharing photos of himself holding a shotgun and spreading anti-Muslim messages online, BBC reported.
