Teen wanted to teach extremist beliefs, court told

(BBC) A teenager gained a place at an Islamic Sunday school in order to teach her “extremist” beliefs to young children, a court has heard.

Dzhamilya Timaeva, 19, from Windsor, saw it as a “duty” of her Islamic faith to “wage war against non-believers,” it is alleged.

She is on trial at the Old Bailey charged with four counts of disseminating terrorist publications and one count of possessing a document for terrorist purposes.

Prosecutor Gareth Weetman said she arranged for copies of a booklet called The Little Muwahideen to be printed.
