Habeeb Khan, 49, posed with a decommissioned AK-47 in a social media video threatening the English Defence League, resulting in over two years of imprisonment.
The video reached 1.4 million views on far-right social media, depicting Khan asserting, 'EDL, we're coming to fucking blow you away you motherfuckers,' reflecting the inflammatory nature of his threats.
Prosecutor Laurie Scott noted the video's serious context, stating it was shared widely, with one account labeling Khan 'the most serious threat to protesters everywhere,' which framed the severity of his actions.
Khan's defense highlighted his health issues and sought leniency, but the court emphasized the public safety implications of his threats during heightened tensions in Birmingham.
