For a laugh? I thought we weren't allowed to laugh at Muslims with bombs...

A court heard Sakander Mahmood sent a message to the English Defence League saying: "Fourteenth July in Bristol – You are getting bombed."

Yesterday a court heard that 26-year-old Mahmood, who lives in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, had the idea of making the threat after reading online that a car containing explosives had been intercepted on its way to another EDL rally.

He said the defendant claimed he got the idea for the bomb threat as he was on the internet and saw a news item, dated July 10, about the bomb found in a car on the motorway.
