Former Islamic street preacher sentenced to six years jail for 'vicious and unprovoked' prison assault

A former Canberra Islamic street preacher has been sentenced to six years jail for a vicious prison assault in 2013, by the ACT Supreme Court.
Isa Islam, 42, pleaded guilty to the attack on Darren Lee Cassidy, 49, who was punched unconscious, and his face stomped on until his nose was pushed into his face.
He spent five days in intensive care, with serious injuries.
Cassidy is serving a 15-year sentence at the Alexander Maconochie Centre for killing his partner's daughter in 2005, after beating her with a saucepan and stick.
The court heard there had been an acrimonious relationship between Islam and Cassidy.
At the time of the incident Cassidy had made a remark to Islam about a failed parole bid.
Justice John Burns told the court Cassidy's attack was "vicious and unprovoked".
"It's particularly reprehensible that you stomped on his head when he was unconscious," he said.
Justice Burns also told the court he accepted the attack was not pre-meditated, but it was also not entirely spontaneous, as Islam had time to stop.
He noted that Islam had refused to cooperate with a pre-sentence report interviewer, and told the court his actions suggested an attitude of defiance not consistent with rehabilitation.
In sentencing Islam, Justice Burns said "violence in prison cannot be tolerated."
Islam was already serving nine years for a stabbing which left the victim with permanent spinal damage.
His total sentence is now 15 years jail, with a new non-parole period of nine years.
Islam will not be eligible for parole until January 2019
Too bad the wrong man got stomped all to hell....
See how violent these so-called muslim preachers are.. -Tyr
