A story like this one, bereft of detail and in the BBC version, of any indication other than his name that Abdul Rahman Benhammedi may have been up to Islamic jihad activity, is utterly routine and unremarkable. Abdul Rahman Benhammedi is one of thousands in the U.K. who are interested in waging jihad and up to it in one way or another; his case will come and go and is unlikely to be much noted or long remembered. Britain has, in other words, grown accustomed to this sort of thing. A certain level of terror in their lives is going to be the lot of Britons from now on, and most of them are just fine with that; after all, their government and media tells them that it is preferable to committing “Islamophobia.”
“Manchester man, 20, charged with terrorism offence,” BBC, July 11, 2014:
A 20-year-old man has been charged with a terrorism offence, police said.
Abdul Rahman Benhammedi, of Springbridge Road, Manchester, is charged with possession of an article for a purpose connected with terrorism, Greater Manchester police said.
He will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court later.
An investigation was launched by the North West Counter Terrorism Unit (NWCTU) after a man was stopped at Manchester Airport, a spokesman said.

Without the freedom of expression to put IDEAS before the public, counterjihadists cannot explain to the public the DOCTRINE OF JIHAD and what is clearly WRONG with it!
This means that the jihadists are NEVER CHALLENGED to re-think their 7th century BACKWARDNESS.

If Muslims are by definition unwilling to INTERGRATE and respect the culture of host countries why don’t they just EMIGRATE rather than IMMIGRATE?
JIMJFOX says
JB, I thought you understood Islamic theology- jihad by infiltration/immigration, “destroy their miserable culture from within” “until all religion is for Allah” and so on. It’s part of the 3rd jihad which western ‘leaders’ still frantically deny.
These traitors are even more guilty than muslims, who are at least honest about their intentions.
Charli Main says
I take your point JB
The problem, however, is that these Muslims see no reason to emigrate out of “their country”.
Its up to the British Kaffirs, living in the country given to these Muslims by Allah, to adopt and adapt to their way of life and culture.
In fact, the resentment the Muslims feel towards the British Kaffirs living in their land is growing exponentially every year.
Remember Islam´s motto—every country a Muslim sh*ts in, becomes Muslim land.

Islam comes only to:
Conquer
Submit
Convert
or
Kill.
Tradewinds says
Whoever heard of letting in the enemy? The Muslim appeasement of the early 21st century is the most idiotic and insane thing I’ve ever seen.
Judi says
I agree.
Delboyandco says
I remember living in the UK in the 70’s, it was a safe civilized care free place to live.
Now the is daily occurrences of islamic terrorist activity. To read of these types of thing 30 years ago would have been a shock-we have become completely desensitized to this-it is not normal. The reality is we have an all out war within our boarders, and that is exactly how, in an unrestrained non politically correct, non propagandized, honest society we would describe it and would effectively address it. In a politically correct we cannot define any problem, thus cannot address it either. I fail to see how British society has been enriched by islamic immigration today and is better from how it was in the 70’s

John Hartley says
My comment that Islam is NOT a religion of peace and that Nick Clegg mis-quoted the Koran in trying to convince us that it was a religion of peace was withdrawn by the BBC as being ‘hate speech’.

How bloody dare you…
Chrisleo says
No body is going to do anything about it apart from rolling over obediently and having our bellies tickled once again by the media and our politicians. In a generation we’ll be under siege just like the poor old Isrealis, but we’ll be so cowed by political correctness and defence cuts, we won’t have the balls they have to fight back against these people.
Jay Boo says
Throwing in the towel of defeat?
Islam is porous.
Islam has made many enemies too (some are former Muslims)
The filth of Islam is oozing out for the world to see in spite of BBC/NPR and Al Jazeera.
