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

UK: Islamic jihad plot to murder Queen Elizabeth foiled

Nov 8, 2014 8:21 am By Robert Spencer

queenelizabethThe ingratitude. Apparently these jihadis don’t think the Brits are handing over their country and destroying their own laws and traditions quickly enough. Faster, Cameron, faster!

“‘Plot to kill the Queen’ foiled,” Yahoo7 News, November 8, 2014 (thanks to Peter):

An alleged plot to kill Queen Elizabeth II at the Royal Albert Hall has been foiled by police.

British newspaper The Sun reports four Islamic terror suspects are considered to have been planning a knife attack on the 88 year-ol ahead on Remembrance day on November 11th.

Reports suggest the assassination plot was uncovered during routine surveillance by secret intelligence agency MI5 and that both The Queen and British Prime Minister David Cameron were informed of the potential threat.

Four men aged 19 to 27 years of age were arrested during raids across west London and High Wycombe in the Thames Valley by Heavily-armed counter terrorist police.

It is reported that more addresses linked to the plot were also being searched. Police made no comment about the plot being specifically targetted towards to Queen but did confirm that they had thwarted a planned Islamist attack on British soil.

The Metropolitan Police the arrests and searches were part of “ongoing investigation into Islamist-related terrorism”.

The suspects were all arrested and are being held in custody on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

The 19-year-old, understood to be called Yusuf, was arrested along with a 22-year-old a 25-year-old and a 27-year-old in separate location across London[.]

It is understood police were suspecting a gun attack rather than bomb plot.

    The first step is close the floodgates, stop allowing unskilled, uneducated radical Muslims to move to the UK. The next step- Do NOT allow these people any access to government benefits-. Then deport ALL of the Muslims who commit or threaten violence. Liberalism and socialism is what is allowing the filth of Islamic to spread to britain and to take root. Ideally- get rid of both, but as Europe is very liberal and socialist- i doubt that will happen in my lifetime. Muslims despise native Britons and their culture- they rape British girls and murder servicemen- any surprise they are threatening the queen

    Well, we really need a high status martyr at this point in time but preferably not Elizabeth. She’s always done a damn good job for the country. Take one of the politicians who brought this situation about…any of them…all of them.

    I think Robert’s missed a trick here. I get both The Sun and The Daily Mail, and both have this comment from one of the suspects’ mother:

    “When he challenged the teenager’s mother, she told him: ‘I’m sorry, it’s my son. He’s young and HE’S JUST DISCOVERED HIS FAITH.’The neighbour said the teenager recently grew a full beard and began wearing traditional Muslim dress.”

      She should be in prison alongside him for not reporting him. If any of my Muslim neighbours did that I’d report them in a flash but my local police would do nothing at all.

    Isn’t this a kind of admission that Islam is a piece of shit?

    Respect should be earned.
    When Muslims are so desperate for attention that they conspire to take the life of a high profile celebrity just to cause fear and intimidation for a ‘religion’ that most of the thinking world knows deserves no respect.

    • Jack Holan says

      I have a thought on that since the Palestinians keep bringing it up ad naseum. It is consistent since the time of the birth of Israel in 48′, just different numbers. The strength and empowerment that Muslims feel in numbers that they are 1.5 billion souls on this Earth, dwarfing all other religions. They almost universally come from societies where intimidation is a way of life and don’t give it a second thought. Yes, everyone their social thinking and interaction is based on somewhere between the year 1200-1400 though they would deny it but behavior belies everything. They World condemns Israel for taking steps another Western country would take to protect their citizens while trying to minimize civilian casualties on the other side. The Hamas and PA will use any method, no rules of engagement, including using their own people as shields and when they served that purpose propaganda as dead. This is all taking place in a very insular, religiously controlled society run by Hamas and where the word of the Imam dictates behavior. This is the religion of Peace Mr. Obama that you want Israel to accept as a partner in Peace. A partner with a Charter to kill every Jew on the Earth wherever they can be found.

        Jack, Islam does not dwarf all other religions. This is just another of their fabrications. Christianity holds the top spot. Furthermore, the number of Muslims converting to Christianity each year is unprecedented. This is the good news we don’t hear much about because, of necessity, these new believers belong to the Underground Church. In Iran, it is estimated that for every imprisoned Christian suffering unimaginable brutality, 1000 Muslims turn to Christ. Disillusion with Islam is turning into repugnance.

          These underground movements in Muslim countries are a good thing, and more power to them. Ex-Muslims should encourage more of their fellow Muslims to join them. They’ll have credibility with other Muslims, having come from the same background.
          But obviously, this can’t be used as a ‘defensive’ strategy (i.e. waiting and hoping) for the West. We still need to get our act together. The threat from the many Muslims who won’t leave (or those who do convert or are born), still remains and we need to preserve our culture.

          As for Muslims *repeatedly* claiming that there is a “mass Islamic conversion”…All I can say to this is that it’s to be ‘expected’ that there will be some conversions to Islam as this relatively foreign religion/culture comes into contact with our non-Muslim, Judeo-Christian culture. It will naturally appeal to some for a variety of reasons. I think though, that Muslims, in their eagerness to brag about “mass Islamic conversion” have gotten a bit ahead of themselves.

          @ Jen

          Ex-Muslims should encourage more of their fellow Muslims to join them
          —————————————————————————————–
          Believe me they do – even while enduring horrendous torture in the hellish prisons of the Islamic (and Communist) world. They witness to fellow inmates, to guards, even to the authorities. And their lack of hatred and desire for revenge puzzles their tormentors. This often leads to conversions. In the words of Richard Wurmbrand, a Lutheran pastor and prisoner of the Romanian communists for 14 years:

          “It was strictly forbidden to preach to other prisoners. It was understood that whoever was caught doing this received a severe beating. A number of us decided to pay the price for the privilege of preaching, so we accepted their terms. It was a deal; we preached and they beat us. We were happy preaching. They were happy beating us, so everyone was happy.” He also said, “I have found truly jubilant Christians only in the Bible, in the Underground Church and in prison.”

          Christians like these do not wait and hope for the West; they wait for and hope in Christ, who alone is Sovereign over all nations, all governments, all ideologies – and makes gold out of dross by putting it in the furnace. It is time complacent Christians in the free world took note of the Persecuted church, prayed for them and supported the ministries who advocate for them.

          This does not mean that governments in the West shouldn’t act. Of course they should – and fast. But we shouldn’t imagine that all is lost.

          Muslims lie about ‘mass’ conversions, as they lie to us about almost everything else. Muslims have large families who are forced to be Muslim. When they make this claim we should ask them how many would be Muslim if they had a choice. They won’t want you to know that the stream of those leaving Islam has become a raging torrent. God is at work in the Muslim world and a great sifting is taking place.

          Nov 9, 2014 at 4:12 am

          I’ve read the stories about the ex-Muslims encouraging Muslims to join.

          But at the same time, when dealing with this problem, I think it is important for Christians *not* to adopt a similar mindset to the Muslims because it clouds their thinking i.e. “Our religion is winning!” Because while it may very well end up being the case in the long run (personally I think it will, since Islam is far too dark to be appealing indefinitely), this shouldn’t have any bearing on our strategy to tackle the problem. Do we really want people in future generations who didn’t ask to have Islam thrust upon them to suffer until the entire world “finally sees the light”?

          I feel that too many Christians think like this. They’re in fairy land. When it’s them or someone they know or care about, right in the firing line; none of this will matter. They’ll be worried about their own safety and fleeing like mad.

          All not lost in the long-term maybe, but there will be plenty lost leading up to any ‘victory’ should this end up being the case if we don’t reduce the Muslim minorities in Western countries. My preference is to expel as many as possible to a Muslim country. They tend to out-breed westerners. Doing this will help to contain the problem to certain regions in the world. That way, Christians and other non-Muslims still have safe places to live. Islam eventually, will fall away in my opinion. Even in Muslim countries. It will just take time.

        • Jen says

          Nov 9, 2014 at 4:54 am

          If Christians don’t focus enough on the non-Muslim world’s safety and focus too much on ‘saving’ the Muslim world, I don’t think that makes sense. The non-Muslim world shouldn’t compromise their safety on this matter by accommodating Islam and its supposed “moderate” adherents (which are unpredictable and impossible to identify on a macro level). The non-Muslim world is the comparatively more ‘civilized’ world at this stage. And this should be upheld. It shouldn’t become tainted with third world savagery otherwise every country will eventually have pockets of Muslim aggression, and that isn’t good for anyone. Instead of attacking the evil of Islam in certain regions alone, it will lead to attacking the problem anywhere and everywhere. Regional factors may then come into play. Hence, my view is to contain it as much as possible.

        There was recently a Greek Orthodox priest who categorically stated that the only safe place in the entire Middle East for Christians is Israel, easily beating even Lebanon or Turkey in that regard.

    One of the problems of when the police arrest so called terrorists and not saying why they have arrested people leaves news papers to make things up.
    I would think that if the muslim nutters decided to kill a member of the royal family or in fact the queen herself, the backlash would be so great, that the police could not cope, the mass burning of mosques and muslims, trashing of muslim businesses, and the killing in the street of anyone or thing resembling a muslim, would be a very short lived victory, and lead to the deaths of thousands but more like hundreds of thousands, muslims be warned do not try or do it, you will be wiped out in the U.K.

    • Slevdi Davoteca says

      Nov 8, 2014 at 9:06 am

      Why? There have been high profile terrorist atrocities in the UK before, but no backlash of the level you suggest has ever ensued.

      • deja vu says

        @Slevdi Davoteca

        It took the assassination of one individual (the Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria) to set off World War 1.

        It is not unprecedented. Whether it’s likely, given today’s craven British Government, is another matter.

    • ECAW says

      Nov 8, 2014 at 9:15 am

      What is the real difference, in terms of understanding our situation, between having people in the country intending to kill the Queen and some actually doing it. Nothing, yet the former will produce only the usual grumbles while the latter? I’d like to think there are some things “up with which we will not put” but I wonder. Are we now so beaten down that there’s literally nothing that will spark a rational response?

      • Myxlplik says

        Nov 8, 2014 at 4:36 pm

        Is it possible, if Muslims had killed the Queen, that she would have gotten the Drummer Rigby treatment?

        Tossed into an unmarked grave, with little ceremony so as to avoid hurting the feelings of Muslims?

        • ECAW says

          Nov 9, 2014 at 3:17 am

          Yes, what a challenge that would present to the forces of right thinking. Charlie would have to give one of the customary “not the real Islam” speeches we hear from the relatives after each atrocity. Cameron et al would have to do it too. The question is whether the people would stomach it. I suppose the cops and even the army would have to come out in force to keep them down.

          I long to hear the next widow say “This has everything to do with the evil creed which you traitorous scum have allowed to take root in the country.”

    Islam has been our ancestral and implacable enemy from time immemorial. Why anyone should imagine that anything has changed from the time of their first assault against Christians in the 7th century is quite beyond me.
    Europe, awake! Conversus ad Dominum! Arise and prepare for battle!

    To,muslim terrorists please do not kill our Queen.We british love her.We know you believe in terrorism and you are practing your faith.I humbily request you for this act of violance you can choose any other high profoil personality but not our Queen.

    • deja vu says

      Nov 8, 2014 at 2:19 pm

      Someone, the fact that you love the Queen is exactly *why* they want to kill her. But why do you suggest they ‘choose any other high profile personality’? Do you believe that random killing is justified in Islam?

  9. Jaladhi says

    Nov 8, 2014 at 9:01 am

    Let me repeat it again and again – Islam is evil evil evil..It only teaches Muslims evil things. there is no morality in Islam, nothing good in Islam, nothing of redeeming value. it only teaches its followers evil criminal behavior!

    So why are Western media, academia and leaders are so enamored with Islam – probably due to PC culture and also they are in denial and are intimidated by Muslims. This is the same behavior that started in Mo/allah’s time – if it were not for intimidation Islam would not have survived for last 1400 years. Muslims are still folllowing the same model originated by Mo/allah. We should recognize this fact and deal with Islamic criminal behavior and intimidation!! Or we are toast!!

    ” Apparently these jihadis don’t think the Brits are handing over their country and destroying their own laws and traditions quickly enough.”

    Most likely the sophisticated jihadis do not approve of these individual, high-profile attacks, as the Islamization of British society is going so well by stealth jihad. But, violence is a feature inherent to Muslim culture, and it is a race between institutionalizing Sharia law, and the emergence of violent actions by individual jihadists. If the jihadists jump the gun by too much, there may indeed be an effective reaction against Islamic infiltration.

    Thank God and the security services for foiling this nightmare plot.

    If this was attempted (rather than a foiled attempt) then Islam would experience true terror from Royalist Englishmen and Women. I for one would commence a crusade which would make the middle ages jaunts look like a jolly boys outing.

    How dare these creatures do this, again, true Islam all take and no give. These vile peodofilic pagan worshipping backwards satanic scum should be driven into the sea with no quarter given.

    I am quite cross about this as you may have picked up in this rant.

    Nov 8, 2014 at 9:49 am

    It’s time for Cameron and other leading Britons to READ Robert Spencer’s books and LEARN THE BASIC FACTS ABOUT ISLAM:

    e.g. 1) Allah commands violence against disbelievers, 2) jihad continues until the day of judgment, 3)there is no historical basis to the first 60 years of Islam…it’s as legendary as Robin Hood.

    Islam can only be defeated IDEOLOGICALLY. The British government must begin an UNPRECEDENTED IDEOLOGICAL campaign about Islam to create massive doubt about its veracity.

    • Peter Buckley says

      Nov 8, 2014 at 10:33 am

      I’ve said before that any (potential) Western government can destroy Islam quite quickly by employing a small panel of theologians (in a Government department), who can be wheeled out individually to explain to their people why muslims are carrying out terrorist acts in their country. They would need a comprehensive knowledge of Islam, a la Spencer:

      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfyXUszMyOk

      We all know that imams are easily embarrassed by people who understand Islam better than they do. When asked by muslims “when did you become an expert on Islam?” the theologian could answer: “In the last couple of years….how about you? What would you like to know?”
      Simples…..

    Well, we’re needing a bit of freshening up at Buckingham Palace, anyway. And let’s face it, Liz is pushing 90. The ‘opportunity cost’ of a few more years on the throne compared to the almighty backlash that murdering the most famous corgi owner in the world would unleash would probably be worth it, in my opinion.

    I can just see it: union-jack draped coffin strapped to a gun carriage wending its way through the streets of London, weeping crowds waving Liz tearful good-byes, soon to be followed by a lynch mob looking for that clown, Chowdery!

  14. Myxlplik says

    Nov 8, 2014 at 10:09 am

    This was only a matter of time, Muslims will seek to erase every piece of British culture from England as it becomes Islamisized. This includes the Royal family, and from the looks of it, much sooner than later.

    The Queen better publically revert don a Burqa, submit, or she’ll die. This is what western policies and willfull ignorance regarding Islam have in store for our culture.

  16. Auckland says

    Nov 8, 2014 at 1:11 pm

    The stupidity of the situation is that it would probably take the murder of the queen for the british people to take any action at all. Is this what needs to happen? The fact that muslims have become so emboldened that the queen is now a legitimate target says a lot of about how far down the slippery slope the british have slid. Even the IRA steered clear of this one for fear of rousing sentiment against them. Is there nothing at all that will turn the tide of denial, apathy and complacency in the face of such a clear and present danger?

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Nov 9, 2014 at 8:18 am

      It’s not the first time she’s been targeted by jihadis.

      There were a bunch of Muslims in (majority-Infidel, indeed, majority-Christian) Uganda, not so many years ago, who plotted to kill the Queen. (She was going to be visiting the country, as it is part of the Commonwealth).

  17. Champ says

    Nov 8, 2014 at 2:52 pm

    I agree, this should be a wake-up call for Britian …and I hate to sound so negative, but in the end, this event will probably be treated like all the other islamic threats and/or attacks: just a bunch of renegade “misunderstanders” of islam are behind this evil plot, etc, etc …

    And then the ugly Truth about evil islam and company will get pushed aside and lost in all the pretzel logic put forth by the loads of taqiyya perps and their ilk.

  18. Champ says

    Nov 9, 2014 at 2:09 am

    mohammedans always go for maximum evil and terror by going after the innocent and now the elderly? …here we have Queen Elizabeth who’s 88 years old and getting up in years, and she’s so dear to many of her countrymen. Of course evil mohammedan perps don’t care about any of that, they only to cause as much pain, heartache and terror as possible ..islam & company are wholly evil!
