On a related note, here is a link to a list of 2017 Islamic terror attacks. During this time period, there were 535 Islamic attacks in 39 countries, in which 3636 people were killed and 4458 injured.

I said “accepting the consequences”, which isn’t quite the same as “take whatever the court doles out.” It is one thing to have a lawyer present to ensure they aren’t handed an extraordinary and abusive sentence because a judge doesn’t like their politics - it is quite another to go the full Johnny Cochcran to try to…
