Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

UK: Muslim gets three years prison dawah for jihad murder plot against Prince Harry

Ashraf Islam is no different from Mujaahid Abu Hamza and Ismail ibn Abdullah, who murdered British soldier Lee Rigby on a London street. The only differences are that Ashraf Islam’s target was higher profile, and that he failed. But both were jihad attempts which the jihadis justified by referring to the alleged atrocities of the British Armed Forces — as all jihads must in the absence of a caliph be justified as defensive, no matter how far-fetched that may be.

“Convicted criminal who plotted to kill Prince Harry jailed for three years,” from The Guardian, February 10 (thanks to Renko):
A convicted criminal who plotted to kill Prince Harry has been jailed.

Ashraf Islam, 31, said he had a “moral right to judge” the royal because he disagreed with the work of the British Armed Forces, of which Prince Harry is a member.

The judge at Isleworth Crown Court in London described Islam’s plot as “vague and unlikely to succeed”, but said he presented a risk to the public.

Islam, of no fixed address but who had been living in west London, was handed a three-year jail term.

Islam pleaded guilty to making a threat to kill Prince Harry, at Uxbridge Magistrates Court in May last year.

He had earlier handed himself in to police and volunteered the information about the plot, defence counsel Roxanne Morrell said.

Judge Richard McGregor-Johnson, the recorder for the royal borough of Kensington and Chelsea, said he would not go over details of Islam’s plot.

But he told the court during the brief hearing: “This was not a threat made in isolation.

“The examination of your computer revealed you conducted research on his (Prince Harry’s) whereabouts and intentions.

“You had given the matter considerable thought.”

He added: “The reason behind that is that you thought he and other serving officers had some moral guilt, and you thought you had a moral right to judge.

“I accept that there is nothing here that could be described as professional plans as to your expressed intentions.

“Your plan was vague and unlikely to succeed.”

But the judge said police would have intervened had Islam, who has previous convictions for dishonesty and for involvement in an attempted robbery, attempted to carry out his plan.

The judge said he considered a longer sentence, but said it would have been deemed “excessive”….

It certainly would have been at a time when Great Britain is doing everything it can to appease Islamic supremacists. Britain’s new masters might have found a longer sentence “Islamophobic.”

    WAKEUP CALL FOR DAVID CAMERON!

    Sir, time to learn the doctrine of jihad!

    Jihad is genocide. Jihad is conquest. Jihad is violent. Jihad is intolerant. Jihad is SUPREMACISM.

        ”unless half of London gets blown off, Cameron does not give a …”

        I don’t think he would **truly** give a damn, even then, unless No 10 was a target, whilst he was sitting in the Cabinet.

        The destruction of half of London would simply mean, for him, it would be a **little** more difficult to continue to kowtow to islam and mohammedans, and a little more difficult to fully implement his desire to turn London into ” a centre of sharia finance”.

    This proves that it’s not about race: he’s as caucasian as can be. As politially brainwashed and as ‘arian’ as a Nazi.

      And, as it turns out, there does not seem to be a lot of difference between Nazism
      and ‘Islamism’ – a phony term for a phony ‘religion’ of a phony ‘prophet’.

    “Nary a mosque nor an Islamic school anywhere in the West has any program designed to stop converts to Islam from getting this idea, despite their claim to reject this understanding of Islam and jihad. ”

    true….true…..

    He converted to Islam while in jail for fraud.
    From fraud to murder, that’s the jump after conversion to Islam.
    When are the authorities going to segregate Muslims from non-Muslims in British jails? We need to do it in ALL Western jails. Is this so hard, really?

    Just as well the Brit government prevented Robert and Pamela from entering the country otherwise the people would be better clued up to Islam, and that would trigger all sorts of concerns in Westminster.

    quote:

    end

    Gnosticism– taking God into the self as a result of alienation from the surrounding society.
    Suddenly, you can judge people, tell the innocent from the guilty, and give yourself the right to destroy the latter.
    Humanity has no meaning in Islam.
    Holiness is debased in Islam.

    Another convert ex-prisoner with tear-drop prison tatts. Exactly the sort of violent scum to whom the international criminal conspiracy called Islam most appeals.

    Mr Cameron, how many should die in vain because islam and his jihad. Or are you waiting until The Queen behead in the street of london. Can you stop this jihad terorizing UK?

    Loser and dreg of society coming from a very dysfunctional family history looks for somewhere to feel he belong. Gullible, ignorant, fragile minds like this are what Islam preys upon to convert. Why do you think Islam frequents prisons? It is because most criminals are ignorant dysfunctional rejects of society. Criminals of a feather flock together. Tragically, killing someone of stature like a royal, or a politician is what it will finally take for the PM to wake up get off his bum and start doing something. If threats had been made toward the average Brit, this would have never made the news. The royals and wealthy politicians seem to be in their own world, and as long as Islam is kept at bay from their own lives, they will continue to show indifference.

    Imagine a native Brit converting to Islam and making a plot – *any* kind of plot – to murder *a member of the British royal family* at any time prior to, say, 1980.

    What do you think might have happened to them, when their plot was discovered?

    Isn’t this sort of thing classified as High Treason?

    Dear Mother Country

    this man has joined the Mohammedan Mob, the Allah Gang, the army and empire and crime syndicate that is the Islamic Ummah. He is no longer a man of the Island of the Mighty.

    He is a traitor and a would-be murderer. A mere three years in prison will make no difference at all to him.

    If you don’t plan on executing him as a declared traitor, then declare him Exile and Outlaw.

    Send him to Syria or to Yemen or Somalia; and tell him that if he tries to return he will be shot on sight.
