Five things we have learnt from the trial of Abu Hamza

That our existing laws on racial hatred and incitement to murder are more than enough to deal with these crimes.

That there is a clear divide between free speech and incitement, and it is one that juries are capable of recognising.

That an array of weapons and forged passports were found in the Finsbury Park mosque.
Let us remember that the next time someone tries to dissuade the Police from searching mosques on grounds of religious sensibilities.

That our security services have had an extremely relaxed approach to Islamic extremism.

That taking a softly-softly approach to dangerous people does not guarantee that they will not turn around and attack your way of life.
