Samina Malik, the so-called "Lyrical Terrorist," became the first Muslim woman in Britain to be found guilty of terrorism charges. She worked air-side for WH Smith, posted a series of poems on websites across the internet about killing non-believers, pursuing martyrdom and raising children to be holy fighters.
Malik is 23 and was born and raised in Southall, West London. Another nom de plume was "Stranger Awaiting Martyrdom."
Her poems were filled with death and destruction by writing about killing heathens, adding: "Kafirs your time will come soon, and no one will save you from your doom."
In one writing, "Raising Mujahideen [holy fighter] Children," she advocated the indoctrination of children from the age of seven.
She saw herself as doing "anything in defence of Islam."
She promoted her ideas on a website called Hi-5 which is similar to social networking sites such as Facebook or MySpace.
Her favourite TV shows were videos by "Muslim brothers in Iraq," in particular, the beheading ones.
She enjoyed "videos which show massacres of the kaffirs."
In this way, she was advertising her availability for marriage.
I can't help but wonder if she liked long walks on the beach and romantic dinners at home.
