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

UK jihadi: “What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to the Islamic State”

Nov 26, 2014 10:27 am By Robert Spencer

26_rumaysah_w--(None)_LRG“There is a war taking place around the world, there is a conflict between those who believe sovereignty belongs to God and those who believe sovereignty belongs to man.” No. There is a war taking place around the world, but it is actually a conflict between those who believe sovereignty belongs to men who claim to be speaking for God and those who believe sovereignty belongs to man.

“London jihadi Abu Rumaysah poses with gun and newborn baby,” Channel 4 News, November 26, 2014:

The British jihadi Abu Rumaysah, who skipped bail while facing terror charges and allegedly fled to the Islamic State, has posted an image online posing with a baby and an automatic rifle.

After weeks of speculation as to the whereabouts of the Walthamstow radical Islamist, Abu Rumaysah returned to Twitter this week announcing: “What a shoddy security system Britain must have to allow me to breeze through Europe to the Islamic State.”

Real name Siddhartha Dhar, 31-year-old Rumaysah is a British-Indian from a Hindu family. He claims to have fled with his wife and four children to Syria.

Other Jihadi fighters on Twitter were sceptical of the account and requested he post an image from Syria to prove it was really Rumaysah.

The radical Islamist obliged today with a picture posing with a baby in a bear-suit onesie in one hand and a rifle in the other.

He tweeted: “With my newborn son. #GenerationKhilafah”, suggesting his fifth child had been born in IS-controlled territory.

While Rumaysah’s flight from under the noses of police may have caused some embarrassment, his close friend and radical preacher Abu Baraa appears overjoyed to learn of Rumaysah’s whereabouts.

Rumaysah failed to appear at a bail hearing in London earlier this month and prosecutor Luke Ponte told Westminster magistrates’ court he had boarded a coach to Paris on 27 September.

He had been arrested in anti-terror raids along with nine other men, including radical preacher Anjem Choudary, in September. Weeks before his arrest Rumaysah had told Channel 4 News that he wanted to move to the so-called Islamic State and offered to renounce his British citizenship to do so.

“I would love to live under the Islamic State, I’d love to live under the Shariah, and I hope that one day Britain gets to live under the Shariah as well,” he explained.

“I think it’s very naive of the government to think that they can prevent Muslims from desiring to migrate there and live under Islam peacefully.

“I think it’s in the interests of the government to allow citizens in this country to migrate to places where they want to. It’s better for them to do that than to allow them to go underground and off the radar.”
Reality check

After his Channel 4 News appearance Rumaysah’s story went global with Rumaysah providing several interviews to US TV networks.

Rumaysah boasted to our crew how he had studied under Omar Bakri and Abu Hamza. After converting to Islam in his early 20s, he went on to become a student of Anjem Choudary and a leading activist with Al Muhajiroon offshoots.

He would not confirm if he would take up arms if allowed to leave Britain for Syria. At the time, he said: “There is a war taking place around the world, there is a conflict between those who believe sovereignty belongs to God and those who believe sovereignty belongs to man, and there are people killing each other….

    Britian’s security system will be proven shody if somehow this sub-human monster is able to return. Which he will certainly try and do at some point.

    Britain’s security system is probably too busy looking for Islamophobes and making sure that no muslim’s feelings are hurt. Good job, dhimmis.

    What Islamic jihadists?

    Letting them leave, by all means. Go live in your utopia, good riddance. Letting them back in and playing two sides, getting benefits for family and so forth and using their citizenship as tools against the country, that is the crap that has to stop.

    They’re all so dramatic though, aren’t they? It’s all so epic, and romantic, a dashing tale of good versus evil, God versus sinners. They think themselves great heroes and warriors, always writing such flowery prose to justify being an opportunistic murderer, which is all most of them are. Doubt very few even really give a crap about any god, it’s all opportunistic lawlessness, unchecked testosterone driven stupidity and a chance to cast yourself as the valiant soldier and hero.

      By letting him leave, then you allow him to go kill innocent people. I know it becomes a fine line of what freedom of speech is, and what is too much government power. Since more power in the hands of government is never a good thing. Can’t we treat anyone who wants sharia law the say way we treated Nazi sympathizers in WW2?

    I believe I recently read a story either in the UK press or on the internet by someone who says he witnessed a muslim female being waved through passport control at a major UK airport with full face covering on. Would not surprise me. It certainly seems that the UK authorities are encouraging followers of the Religion of Peace to get involved in airport security. I recently arrived back in the UK from a trip to the fat east to be greeted by two females on supervision duty at Border Control at Heathrow airport. Both were in full muslim garb. What message does THAT send???

      Dhimmi’s submitting to islam. They will view it that way, even if it isn’t entirely true. I am sure many in the U.K haven’t submitted yet but your leadership like ours sure have.

      Much of the same at Gatwick. Pigs in Burkas and Niquabs everywhere, bossing infidels around and putting them through security checks and scanners and checking documents.
      The Niquab pig brigade really love their jobs, showing that Muslims” are in charge”

        Yes, I noticed that at Heathrow as well. Nasty little piece of work with the headgear and muslim dress virtually shouting at the travellers in the most insolent and disrespectful way possible Sorely tempted to give her a piece of my mind (and maybe a piece of something else to boot, but that WOULD be uncivilised, wouldn’t it?). Either they’ve been dragged up, or aren’t capable of learning any manners, or perhaps just aren’t suitable for a civilised society, or maybe (as you say) they’re showing their uncouth dictatorial tendencies.

          Sorry. Should have added that the irony is that all this expensive, time-wasting, unpleasant and demeaning security rigmarole at airports has only really become necessary because of these ‘people’, and, lo and behold, here are the very same ‘people’ dishing it out and throwing their weight around as if they are the guardians of the place and us kuffars are the guilty party. Makes one want to be violently sick. Do people remember when air travel actually ‘pleasant’, you could go and buy your ticket, dump your luggage and get on the plane and were treated with respect like any civilised human being. But THAT was before certain ‘types of person’ decided to grace us with their presence.

          Jayell – good job you didn’t speak your mind otherwise you would have been escorted out of the airport in the company of a couple of “thought police”!

          Heathrow is full of bagheads and beardie weirdies. Coming back from the Gulf, I had my bag searched and my hands rubbed for explosive residue by some bint in a bag. I wanted to tell her that it would more likely be her relatives and friends to carry out a hijacking or bombing than me.

        I hate flying these days, I feel like I’m cattle or something. I know the people in power view us as little more than cattle, but to openly display it via the airport is uncomfortable. Sadly I really never got to experience air travel when it was fun, I’m only 28, but people have told me stories of the good old days of flying. Our country as well as the U.K were way different countries back then. The U.S is more or less a police state, and the U.K is most certainly an Orwellian police state in it’s infancy.

          Flying was a pleasure till the early 70’s. hen the Palis kicked off with hijacking. We followed this by allowing millions of Muslims to enter our once peaceful countries.

          Now we have the tragi-humourous situation, that the very ones that should be subjected to riogourous security checks, are the ones who humilitaing non-Muslims, just in case they are carrying bombs.

          How bloody tragic can a situation get before our idiot politicians wake up, or we chase them and their ilk out of the country.

    “There is a war taking place around the world, there is a conflict between those who believe sovereignty belongs to God and those who believe sovereignty belongs to man….”

    If “God” wants me to respect him as a sovereign then, since he is omniscient, he already knows my email address, drop me a line. I do not accept that such an almighty being such as God would choose to communicate via a book written by a 7th century thief, Jew killer and warlord.
