Åklagaren Kate Wilkinson kommenterade:
'These items contained both instructional
and ideological material. The magazines
are in English and are targeted at Muslims
living in the West.
‘They contain two types of material: firstly,
material which is designed to make the
reader support, fund, or join the Jihad, and
particularly to encourage the Western reader
to attack the nation where he lives.
‘Secondly, the magazines provide practical
guidance on how to commit acts of terrorism.’

Domaren sa när han avkunnade domen
mot Begum:
'It goes without saying this defendant’s criminality
is not necessary increased by the guilt of her brothers.
'But she is clearly moving in the milieu and that that
some of those close to her have serious Jihadist out-
look and certainly as far as her two brothers are
concerned, terrorist intentions.
'That connection has caused me to scrutinise carefully
whether she is a fellow traveller in the sense she
supports those who commit serious crimes for ideological
or religious reasons.'
