UK: Muslim couple misunderstood Islam, plotted "jihad at home" against "Jewish targets"

Plotting mass murder of those whom the Qur'an dubs the worst enemies of the Muslims (cf. 5:82).

"'Muslim pair planned Jihad' - court," from KUNA, June 20 (thanks to Twostellas):

LONDON, June 20 (KUNA) -- A Muslim couple were assembling components of a home-made bomb to attack Jewish neighbourhoods after becoming radicalised by al Qaida propaganda on the internet, a court heard Wednesday.

Mohammed Sajid Khan, 33, and his wife Shasta, 38, bought substances and equipment from supermarkets to assemble an improvised explosive device to carry out a terrorist attack after scoping Jewish targets, Manchester Crown Court, northern England, heard.

Behind their "apparent normality of daily life", Khan, an unemployed car valeter, and his hairdresser wife planned to carry out "jihad at home", Bobbie Cheema, prosecuting, told the court.

And the pair were only "mercifully" stopped by chance after a minor domestic row led to police being called to their house in Oldham, Greater Manchester.

Mrs Khan decided to "spill the beans", confess, to police after her brother told officers: "I think he's a home-grown terrorist".

Mohammed Sajid Khan has already pleaded guilty at an earlier hearing to terrorism offences but his wife has denied any involvement. She has pleaded not guilty to engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism and three counts of possessing information useful for committing or preparing for an act of terrorism.

Opening the case for the prosecution at the start of Shasta Khan's trial, Miss Cheema told the jury: "The essence of what is alleged in this case is relatively straightforward. "It is that in 2010 and 2011 they both became radicalised by material found on the internet such as an al Qaida magazine called Inspire, the aim of which is to encourage Muslims in the West and this country to carry out violent holy war or jihad by mounting attacks in their own countries independent of any outside direction or association with any other person.

"They became radicalised by the teaching of extremist Islamists who were themselves motivated by al Qaida. "In response, the two of them began to make preparations or assisted each other to make preparations to carry out a terrorist attack on British soil, with the most likely target being an orthodox Jewish area of Prestwich in Greater Manchester."

9:29 “Fight those who do not believe in Allah”

9:30 “Allah curse be on them (Jews & Christians)”

Why do the media insist on using the word 'radicalized' to explain a tendency to commit violent acts or any other antisocial crime as if Islam has nothing to do with it?
I suppose this means that anything or anybody can be responsible for radicalizing someone else. So going by this logic, Ted Bundy was probably radicalized by mis-understanders of serial-killing, Winona Ryder was radicalized by confused shoppers and because I remember stealing something when I was five years old, I was probably radicalized by something or another at the time: Probably my teddy bear!
To 'radicalize' means to go back to roots, so if someone is being radicalized then what roots exactly are they going back to? In the case of al-Qaeda they are going back to the roots of Islam, the pure un-indoctrinated form of Islam that is found in the Koran. So shouldn't the media be mentioning this instead of assuming that radicalization is just some form of hypnotic state that can randomly occur just by being exposed to someone Else's warped principles!

If you are a Muslim, you are "radicalized".

Our biggest enemy is NOT ISLAM. It is US. It is the MEDIA. We are fighting the LIBERAL MEDIA, that is why we are reading Jihad Watch. I can not even watch FOX news anymore.

There is no "news" here at JW.

An ironic aside: The neighborhoods in which they were planning to murder innocent Jewish citizens contain mostly Hareidi communities, wherein many people are opposed to political Zionism and Israel's largely secular government and culture.

So much for the typical leftist and Muslim claim that "We oppose the Zionists, not the Jews."

"The aim [of the magazine] is to encourage Muslims to carry out violent holy war or jihad by mounting attacks in their own countries independent of any outside direction or association with any other person," she said.

And non-Muslims are suppose to think it wrong for police organizations to keep an eye on Muslims. The Muslim population is to be regarded as just another religious group of nice folks - yeah, if you're an illiterate idiot.

'Doin what comes naturally'...Allah wills it, except when he doesn't...

I hope that the British Freedom Party's Paul Weston, the EDL's Tommy Robinson, and other bodies - such as Anglican Friends of Israel - will take the time to communicate - perhaps even in person, not just by letter - with the leadership of the Jewish community in Prestwich, Greater Manchester - and with the leadership of the broader Jewish community within Britain - to assure them of sympathy and support. Individual British jihadwatchers may wish to look up the address of the rabbi in that area, and send him an encouraging letter.

Send the Jews some Love Mail - I am sure they are getting plenty of Hate Mail, given the size and increasing aggressiveness of the Mohammedan Fifth Column within the UK.

As well as commmunicating with the Jews to let them know you are aware of and deplore Mohammedan Jew-hatred which fuels plots like this one that has just been fortunately thwarted, be sure to write short, sharp letters to elected representatives and to the Prime Minister and Immigration Ministers.

Be blunt. State that Islamic antisemitism is real, it is hardwired into and emanates from the Islamic core texts, and that you are convinced that unless strong measures are taken to curb the aggression - and ramp back the actual and perceived power - of the Mohammedan Mob in the UK, the UK will most assuredly, sooner or later but probably sooner rather than later, witness an atrocity on a par with - or even, God forbid, much worse than - the cold-blooded ritual murder of Miriam Monsonego in Toulouse. Urge a complete halt to immigration of Muslims; because the bigger the Muslim Ummah in any locality, the greater its perceived power, the larger the number of outright jihad terror raiders who will emerge from it, and the higher the probability that said terror raiders will attack..and they will very probably begin by attacking Jews, though they certainly will not *stop* with the Jews.

Keep Britain safe for: Jews.
Hindus.
Buddhists.
Sikhs.
Christians.
Atheists.
Agnostics.
Everyone who isn't a Muslim.

Only one way to be sure of that:

END MUSLIM IMMIGRATION.
START DEPORTING MUSLIMS.

Oh, you and your Freudian slips!

Why don't you whip out your wand and use that "smelly arm pits" spell on them?

A lovely couple...according to Islamic standards...

No news here at JW? Are you for real? There's more real news at JW on a daily basis about what Islam intends for all the world than just about anywhere else.

I gotta' tell ya' that you're coming across as yet another tedious troll. If so, how retrograde. You'll make no progress here at JW. Guaranteed. There are too many well informed people who comment regularly at JW who know what Islam is really about, for instance, death for a Muslim who converts to another faith or disallowance of any criticism of Mohammed or Islam (so much for free speech).

If you're here just to make trouble, get lost. Pronto.

Apologies for being off-topic again, but a hostage taker in Toulouse has been apprehended after a shootout with police. He claims to support Al-Qaeda: http://durotrigan.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/toulouse-gunman-schizophrenic-or.html

yes wellington. Please see my response to keymeoln.
M

I already have, miriam rove. Pithy indeed.

Keymelon is a jerk---at the very least. Perhaps the reprobate will go away. Then again....

That's why Glenn Beck left the FOX-hole !!

Thanks to Jihad Watch we don't simply have "news"! Thanks to Robert Spencer we have an accurate gathering of data, all of which is related in a way or another to Islam, reported/exposed/explained with great knowledge, wit, courage & intelligence: *
*(Something ineffable)

:)

Thank you JW. The media may stop reporting anything that is not "love jehad".

I'm surprised they had to get onto the internet to become "radicalised"; I would have thought, from reading about modern-day Britain, they would simply have to go out in the street...

If you aren't careful, DDA might transform you into a pig or monkey.

Circe herself can't outdo our beloved DDA! We are all under her spell here!

Everybody laughed at this ridiculous magazine, but it actually seems to have indeed inspired a plethora of Jihad plots during its short run.

Of course, Muslims were already primed for this sort of thing by their vicious creed...

Well, of course! There's nothing substantive about the Crown Court of Manchester...sarc/off

It would be nice, however, to have a link to a UK paper, rather than rely on some Kuwaiti news site.

From the article: "[Miss] Bobbie Cheema, prosecuting".

Hmmm.

Interesting surname, that.

It appears that this precious Mohammedan pair are having to endure the humiliation of the lawyer for the prosecution being a/ female b/ Infidel and, just to rub it in , c/ of Indian - and, I would hazard the guess, *non-Muslim*, possibly Hindu or Sikh - background.

Bwahahahaha.

In case many of the JW regulars don't see the comment I posted apropos of "Mensch Keymelon" in an article way down on the bottom, perilously about to fall into the Chasm of Archives, I'll repost its P.S. here:

P.S.: Hey guys, remember "Zinedine"? I stumbled on this old thread of 91 comments from 2010, and there was yet another in a long line of Muslim apologists trying to blow smoke up our asses.

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/09/iranians-chant-us-pastor-must-be-killed.html#comment-710806

To go down memory lane, click on the penultimate comment there on that link, in which dumbledoresarmy nicely sums up the thread, then work your way back. Zinedine and Keymelon and Rezali are a dime a dozen; 3 out of literally several dozen we could pick out of a fez from the Jihad Watch archives.


Thank you for your message of support, dumbledoresarmy.

I live not far from the area that these two idiots wanted to bomb.

I am far from satisfied that the Police are able to keep the Jewish community safe - but we have the Community Security Trust which works to make sure security at synagogues and other Jewish institutions are at top level.

The problem is the apathy with some of the community, and we have to fight to convince other Jews who call themselves liberals that Muslims just cannot be trusted - we are battling on two fronts.

One thing I am proud of is that I have succeeded in preventing interfaith meetings with Muslims from happening in my synagogue.

At present I am campaigning for a public enquiry into the extent of widespread pimping of non-muslim vulnerable underage girls by Pakistani Muslims. I'm not getting very far.

If anybody is reading this from the UK - please write to your MP and demand a public enquiry into to why these girls were ignored by the authorities for years - and also to have this appalling crime declared a RACIST crime.

I guess these perps missed the ''cupcakes'' edition of Inspire. . Too bad, they got bust anyhows. . :-)

you, clearly, are a dirty muslim who only ever cleans feet and arse.Sometimes only. Maybe that explains the stench

LemonLime, I did see your comments on the other thread, but it was a good idea to repost them here.

And I agree with your singling out Dumbledore's Army's response—a classic.

"Mensch Keymelon"—and Rezali Mehil and "mile" and "D"—are nothing really new, as you note. They vary slightly in their approach, but present just slight variations in Taqiyya, whitewashing, obfuscation, or just overt Muslim supremacism.

These trolls are often quite instructive for what they reveal about Islam.

Just in the past couple of months, the Muslim apologists above have admitted Islamic condoning and even sacralizing of slavery, sex slavery, wife beating, oppression of Christians and other non-Muslim minorities, the crushing of freedom of speech under Shari'ah, the murder of critics of Islam, child "marriage", and "Honor Killing".

Really, quite a litany.

The presence of Muslim supremacists posting here, repulsive as it is, often offers the most graphic examples of what we are up against in fighting Jihad.

Thanks gravenimage.

There seem to be two types of Muslim apologist commenter here at JW: the type that just takes brief pot-shots (usually riddled with spelling and grammatical errors); and the type that seems somewhat more intelligent and posts longer comments and often continues to respond many times. Neither type to my knowledge has ever been of the brazenly candid type of Muslim; and while the former's Islamic designs are somewhat obscured by his relative incoherence, the latter's seem to be more due to "intelligent design" -- though more often than not the latter lets slip, either by calculation or by a psychological inability to suppress his true Islamic desires, various forms of support for precisely the Islamic evils about which he is supposed to be refuting vis-a-vis our protestations (I recall yet another Muslim apologist, though I can't remember his name now -- something like "Amrikan" -- who in a lengthy and obfuscating series of comments seemed to be simultaneously denying that stoning for adultery was Islamic and defending it as a good practice which the Jews had "abandoned" for reasons of "rebellion" against Allah's commands).

Of this latter type there are two subtypes: one is relatively small potatoes, sophistry-wise; the other may be quite sophisticated in his sophistical tricks (among which is the tendency to amass sheer verbosity replete with radiating sub-points and sub-topics and red herrings and straw men). Mensch Keymelon here, so far, seems to be among the garden-variety small potatoes -- perfect for us to make a nice tossed salad out of.

Would you settle for the 'Guardian'?

As linked here (note Esmerelda Weatherwax's very interesting aside on Bobbie Cheema, the prosecutor. I was right; Ms Cheema is probably of Sikh background. She isn't fighting Mohammedans on some dusty plain in India with a kukris; *her* chosen battlefield is a courtroom in England. Hit 'em hard, Ms Cheema! Don't let 'em get away!).

http://www.newenglishreview.org/blog_direct_link.cfm/blog_id/42601

http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/jun/20/muslims-accused-planned-jews-attack?newsfeed=true

You will observe, by the way, that the headline must surely be a 'first' for The Guardian:

"Muslim pair accused of planning jihad bomb attack on Jews in Britain".

That's a headline right out of jihadwatch...

Makes me wonder how many journalists and newspaper editors are surreptitiously visiting this site.

Thanks for the link, dda. It's another hopeful glimmer of the progress that remains elusively realized. I wish Spencer would use it instead of the Kuwait site he still has up.

Little by little. Oasis.
