The UK government has released a notorious ISIS terrorist from prison early as part of a controversial “anti-Islamophobia” initiative spearheaded by Keir Starmer’s Labour Party.
Zahid Iqbal, one of Britain’s most dangerous terrorists, will be set free in a matter of weeks – a full three years ahead of schedule.
Iqbal was sentenced to prison in 2013 for plotting to kill hundreds of soldiers at an Army base in Luton using a bomb he constructed from an Al-Qaeda manual.

Modernity.news reports: Recordings revealed Iqbal suggesting an IED attached to a remote-controlled toy car to target a TA centre. He also facilitated travel for extremist training abroad. Despite expert advice against it, the parole board has greenlit his freedom under strict conditions, even ignoring warnings from his prison and community offender managers.

Reform UK’s crime adviser Colin Sutton called it a “baffling decision,” noting that Iqbal’s prior early release in 2021 was revoked for non-compliance, and questioning why he’d behave now.
“You know, there’s an expectation we’ve all got. These are the most serious offences that you can commit against our society,” Sutton urged, adding “this wasn’t a guy in his bedroom cooking something up. This was somebody who arranged training. He had links with al-Qaeda. He was a proper terrorist. And he was released early in 2021 and had to be called back in because he wasn’t complying with the conditions.”
This isn’t isolated. As we previously covered, Shahid Butt, convicted in 1999 for conspiring to bomb the British consulate in Yemen, is standing for election as a pro-Gaza independent in Birmingham’s Sparkhill ward. Linked to an armed Islamist group and past violence, Butt urges Muslim youth to “work out at the gym and learn to fight” against “disbelievers.”
Victim groups slammed his candidacy as mocking the system, with GB News host Patrick Christys asking, “Are you mental?!”
Meanwhile, the regime cracks down on truth-tellers. Derek Heggie, a 41-year-old podcaster, pled guilty to sending offensive communications after stating in YouTube videos, “Young white girls are being raped by these grooming gangs.” Prosecutors deemed it “particularly inflammatory” amid riots.
As detailed here, a Quilliam Foundation report found 84% of convicted groomers since 2005 were Asian. Yet Heggie was sent to prison for ten months—punished for highlighting verifiable crimes.
Meanwhile, Lucy Connolly, jailed for a tweet venting about asylum hotels post-Southport murders, faces re-imprisonment for reposting a joke: “Could Trump come and take Starmer like they did in Venezuela.” Probation flagged it as inciting violence after a tip-off.
Connolly’s daughter was even barred from school over her mother’s views.
Luke Yarwood got 18 months for two anti-immigration tweets seen by a mere 33 people, ranting about burning migrant hotels and taking to the streets. His brother-in-law reported him, turning family feud into Orwellian style betrayal.
While his posts had no real-world impact, Judge Jonathan Fuller called them “odious.” Yarwood’s defense cited isolation and mental health, but prison trumped mercy—while violent offenders walk free.
To accommodate such thought criminals, Labour has released thousands of inmates early, including violent ones serving under four years. Prime Minister Keir Starmer dodged questions on public safety risks.
This clears space for those jailed for “anti-establishment rhetoric” or “misinformation.” Actual threats roam free while boomers posting spicy memes fill cells.
While terrorists walk free, a state-funded video game warns kids they’ll be flagged as extremists for researching immigration stats or protesting “erosion of British values.” “Pathways,” backed by the Home Office’s Prevent program, equates such concerns with radicalization.
This rotten system prioritizes appeasing radicals over safeguarding Brits. As communal tensions boil, the real danger is a regime crushing free expression to hide its failures on borders and security. It’s time for the public to demand accountability before dissent becomes extinct.
