The lawyer team for the defense is trying a new line of defense for Jihadis.

Basically - "It's not my clients fault your honor.

You see...he's an idiot."

"In one section of footage, played before a hushed court, Mr Altman said Khawaja could be seen picking up severed heads from the back of a flatbed truck and saying: Heads. Kuffar (non-Muslims). Disgusting.

Khawaja, who has close ties to "executioner" Jihadi John, faked his own death to sneak back into the UK and is now facing years behind bars."

His lawyer's defense? Stupidity.

In his defence Henry Blaxland QC said the jihadi poster boy had a low IQ - the lowest 12% of the population.

So what does that actually mean?

The UK IQ average is 100. Henry doesn't specify his client's IQ, but it's probably in the low 80s. But that doesn't mean much since a number of Muslim countries have average IQ scores around that.

Assuming that our friend here is Pakistani, the IQ average there is 84. Even if he scored an 81, he's not that much of an outlier. (I've seen a claim that the Pakistani UK IQ average is 86 (specifically 85.62.) Not sure if it's a valid source.)

Now IQ, its measurement standards and validity, are complicated issues that I have no interest in getting into. (Personally I don't believe it's a comprehensive meaningful measurement of intelligence.) But in this case, we have a lawyer attempting to make use of it as a defense for a terrorist when that's just the average number for someone from his background.

If having an IQ in the 80s is exculpatory, then how do you convict a Pakistani terrorist of anything?

Oh yeah, I knew you'd like this one.

Cause you're thinking if the "but he's an idiot, your honour" defense works for him, you can use it too, right.

No such luck, Princess. It's just for Jihadis.

That's hilarious. Or to quote the great man himself...

I find no reason at all to be even remotely shocked by something like that. Not only are they pig-ignorant, worse even than their own medieval ancestors were, but it's entirely plausible that they're managing to be the most genuinely stupid people on the entire planet. Religion in general hates any kind of intellectual progress so Islam deliberately encouraging it's adherents to take that antipathy to the extreme isn't even slightly surprising. Twenty million or so Jews in the world total managing to turn out dozens and dozens of Nobel prize winners compared to a billion and half Muslims barely creating any says all that anyone needs to know.

Oh, to fall so far, from working at Timmy's to being homeless in front of it. This is what happens when you allow in all those TFW's.

Oh, well, at least I'm not working at a job I hate where I despise the children I work for and setting a great role model for them by being a miserable cnt, telling them what useless scum their parents are who just refuse to lift themselves up by their own bootstraps. I just move my belongings and shuffle off to the next doorway.
