It may backfire

As I recall, the lawyers for the men who dragged Jamed Byrd to death in Texas wanted no blacks on the jury, and got it. However, the all-white jury still returned a guilty verdict and recommended the death penalty (which the judge handed down on two of the perps).

It may just be the case that a British jury devoid of Jews and Hindus could very well end up finding Abdullah al-Faisal guilty, too.
