Books in the News: Terrorists Jailed for attack on UK Publisher of ‘Jewel of Medina’

Muslim extremists jailed for arson attack on Mohammed book publisher’s home (UK)

” Sentencing Ali Beheshti, 41, and two accomplices to four and a half years, Mrs Justice Rafferty told them: ‘If you choose to live in this country, you live by its rules.’

‘There is no such thing as “a la carte citizenship” and, in your case, there is no such thing as “a la carte obedience” to the law.'” [From Daily Mail Online]

While I am thrilled and releaved to hear of the sentencing, I must ask- 4 1/2 years for trying to fire bomb someone’s office and home? Does that seem a bit short to anyone else?
