Former Hamas bodyguard guilty of UK knife attack

A former Hamas bodyguard, wanted in Germany over an alleged plot to murder Jewish people, has been found guilty of a knife attack on a bailiff outside his UK home.
Mohammed Alfatih, previously known as Mohammed Naim, was regularly seen acting as a bodyguard for a former leader of Hamas in 2006. He was granted asylum in the UK in 2015 and British citizenship in 2020.

UK will just give any Islamist asylum and citizenship.

The 40-year-old was found guilty by majority verdict of unlawfully wounding a bailiff who had come to repossess his wife's car, possession of two knives and criminal damage. He was cleared of wounding with intent.
[...]
Jurors were not told of Alfatih's links to proscribed terrorist group Hamas or his work as a bodyguard to its now-deceased former leader Ismail Haniyeh.

Why not?

It's not uncommon for people to resist and attack other people trying to repossess their cars. You haven't tied this in any way to his religion or his past.

... and had the courts attempted to do so, his conviction would almost certainly have been ruled unsafe, and overturned on appeal.

You are missing the point. His past should have rendered him ineligible for asylum, and certainly for citizenship.

Him attacking people with a knife is just further reason as to why people like him are bad to have in one's country.

A jury is NOT supposed to assess whether the defendant is a "bad person";

Prior bad acts can sometimes be introduced as evidence.

Yup.

Only if the evidence is pertinent to the charges.

Meanwhile nationwide ground stop and degraded weather forecasting because DOGE/Project2025 has deliberately wrecked executive agencies. But they are protecting us from the great replacement so it’s okay.
