UK police foil major jihad terror attack on the scale of 7/7 every year

Not to worry. If the Brits could just rein in their hardcore "Islamophobia," this problem will evanesce. "Major terror attack on scale of 7/7 foiled every year in UK, police reveal," by Tom Whitehead for the Telegraph, March 21 (thanks to Block Ness):

Police and MI5 are foiling a plot as big as the July 7 attacks every year, the country's second most senior terror officer has revealed.

Officers also fear a hybrid of terrorist and criminal gangs could bring a new threat on the UK.

Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Stuart Osborne warned that the country is facing the most complex terror threat in its history.

He said the threat is constantly changing with al-Qaeda inspired Islamic extremists now plotting in smaller, harder to detect groups.

The danger is coming from an increasing number of hot spots around the world and there is also a growing threat from republican groups in Northern Ireland, who would attack mainland Britain if they could.

Mr Osborne, who is the senior national coordinator for counter terrorism, said: “On average we've probably had about one potential attack planned with an intent to create something similar to July 7 every year.

"The UK threat as we stand today remains at substantial, which means that a terrorist attack remains a strong possibility and could occur without warning."

Last month, three men were convicted of planning to kill hundreds of people in the UK with up to eight suicide bombers after concluding the 7/7 attacks had “not done enough damage”.

And in 2006 a plot to blow up passenger jets with bombs disguised as soft drinks was foiled but led to tighter restrictions for carry on luggage.

Mr Osborne, who is senior national coordinator for counter-terrorism, said he fears that terror cells could either team up with organised crime gangs or mirror their practices, bringing a new kind of threat to the UK.

He also echoed concerns that an increasing number of Britons are exploiting unrest abroad to receive terror training before returning home.

Syria is the biggest destination now and the fear is those taking part will form small independent cells once back rather than become part of a major plot.

Mr Osborne said: "Some who have been trained actually are becoming quite self-motivated, they are beginning to plan in small groups which are hard to detect.

"There is no doubt that the big sophisticated 9/11 or 7/7 type plots are much harder to organise, they did need a lot of overseas direction, and some of the al Qaida leadership have said that's good if you can do it, but if not any attack whatever you can do at whatever size is useful.

"We are seeing more small groups getting together at shorter notice and more people wanting to do things without that broader command and control."

Al Qaida remains the greatest terror threat to Britain, he said, but there continues to be a danger from Northern Ireland.

He said the aspiration of Republican groups would be to attack the mainland but stressed he had not seen any evidence of that so far.

There is a danger from Northern Ireland, we just don't have any evidence of it, but we have to mention it anyway, because if we only talk about jihad groups, we'll be "Islamophobic," doncha know?

The comments came as new figures revealed the number of terror arrests had risen by 60 per cent in the year to September 2012.

A total of 245 people were held on suspicion of terrorism-related offences in the period, compared with 153 in the previous 12 months, the Home Office said.

There's this line from the article

"Syria is the biggest destination now and the fear is those taking part will form small independent cells once back rather than become part of a major plot."

The Jihadists will become battle hardened by the baptism of fire in Syria, return, and.....

Well you know the rest.

And of course the UK along with all the major NATO countries are giving huge aid to these Jihadists. The Al Qaeda linked rebel groups are so embedded in the fighting - they, after all, do the heavy lifting - they'll get as much of the Western aid as they want and need.

It seems these particular Jihadists are only enemies because this time their intended victims are British. Had they been Syrian Christians, Alawites, etc then they'd be given a bloody medal.

And think of how much time and how much money is being sopped up, not only in the UK but everywhere else that there is a significant colony of Mohammedans, by law enforcement and other agencies who are trying to keep one jump ahead of the jihad terror mass-murder plotters?

As 'Hugh Fitzgerald', former frequent contributor to this site, used to say - and as he still says, every now and again, over at the New English Review:

"The large-scale presence of Muslims in the countries of Western Europe [and, too, in India, in Russia, in Australia, and in East Africa and increasingly in other parts of the world, such as Latin America, Fiji in the Pacific, and the Caribbean nations - dda] has led to a situation, for the indigenous non-Muslims and for other, immigrant non-Muslims, that is far more unpleasant, expensive, and physically dangerous than would be the case without such a large-scale Muslim presence."

If any remaining terrorist elements in Ireland were wise, they would indicate in crystal clear terms, and quite publicly, that no further terrorism, Irish related, will occur again in Britain or Northern Ireland. This would accomplish two objectives: 1) the world at large again being placed on notice that virtually all terror today emanates from the Islamic world and 2) that whatever differences exist, however profound, between the IRA and British authorities are as nothing compared to the common threat Islam unleashed intends for all of Western Civilization, be it for the Irish, English, French, German, Dutch, Danish, Swedes, etc.

This is a dream I have. But some dreams come true, now don't they?

From the article - "an increasing number of Britons are exploiting unrest abroad to receive terror training before returning home..".

Rewrite for clarity - "an increasing number of Muslims currently based in Britain are exploiting jihad abroad to receive jihad terror training before returning to base...".

There is a very, very simple answer to *this* problem.

Step one: let them go, off to Syria or Yemen or Afghanistan or Pakistan or Somalia or Mali or Libya...anywhere in the dar al Islam that a 'hot spot' of jihad is simmering away.

Step two: since you know who they are, you know where they are, and you have a reasonable belief that they are there to engage in combat jihad against other, deemed-insufficiently-Islamic Muslims, then...CANCEL THEIR CITIZENSHIP OR RESIDENCY PAPERS! Annul their British passport! Declare them traitor, outlaw and exile...and **never let them back in!!**.

How hard is that??

This is about A/ public safety: protecting ordinary non-Muslims in Britain - black, white and brindle, and of all non-Muslim faiths and none - from the prospect of being butchered by the tens, the hundreds, the thousands or even, God forbid, the hundreds of thousands. And this is also, B/ about **saving an awful lot of money** that you are currently wasting, trying to keep tabs on hundreds or thousands of Mohammedan Males of Military Age, all over the UK, who at any conceivable moment may suddenly, mass-murderously, Go Jihad.

Even *one* Mohammed Merah would be, as far as I am concerned, one too many. Let alone another attack like in 2005, or a Mumbai style attack. And what if the Mohammedans conduct a suicide bombing inside St Paul's Cathedral? What if they carry out a Beslan-style attack on an English primary school or high school?

It *can* happen. Sooner or later it *will* happen...so long as there is a large and aggressive Mohammedan colony within the UK. Once they feel strong enough to get away with it, *they will do it*.

The Ummah, or Mohammedan Mob, is the sheltering sea within which the jihad murderers, the sharia pushers, swim, and from which, ceaselessly, they emerge; and as that Mob, in any place, grows in numbers and/ or in perceived or actual physical and political strength, the number of its combat soldiers - informally self-recruited, or else formally recruited at this mosque or that and incited and trained and sent out to war against the surrounding Infidels - will increase proportionately.

There is only one way, ultimately, to stop having to waste huge amounts of time and money and angst trying to keep one jump ahead of those would-be Mass Murderers For Allah and the Mohammedan Mob who currently lurk within the gates.

That is, to uproot the Mohammedan Mob holus bolus from Britain and send them all back to the dar al Islam from which they or their parents or grandparents came. And send the converts with them...the Samantha Lewthwaites, the Richard Darts, the Yvonne Ridleys. Out with them.

If there were no Muslims in Britain at all - no 'immigrants' legal or illegal, no 'tourists', no 'students', no 'businessmen', no diplomats, no 'asylum seekers' and 'refugees' - then there would be no 'home grown' Jihad.. and no Damocles Sword of mass-murder, mass-rape, mass atrocities, hanging over the heads of every non-Muslim resident of the UK. Remove the Fifth Column of the Ummah.

That is the long and the short of it.

No Muslims within the gates = no Jihad waged from within.

And that same principle applies to every other non-Muslim country on earth.

Infidel countries with Muslim countries *next door* would still have to worry about and be ready to defend themselves forcefully against any jihad assault from the other side of their borders; but they wouldn't have to worry about the Fifth Column, within.
