That's a bit different. She was convicted for possession of terrorist materials.

Quote:
Samina Malik, from Southall, west London, was found guilty at the Old Bailey of owning terrorist manuals.

Quote:
She was convicted of having articles "likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism".

This is not the same as being convicted for having thoughts. She was in possession of articles forbidden under the relevant act.
