UK: Jihadist skips bail, flees to Islamic State

Nov 15, 2014 11:55 am By Robert Spencer

rumaysah-aljazeera-v4He was forbidden to leave the country; Britain wants to keep its jihadis. But he eluded authorities, which is no doubt very easy to do in Clueless Britannia, and fled to the Islamic State. But not to worry, Abu Rumaysah, if you have “good intentions,” you can come back whenever you wish and be showered with goods by the Ministry of Appeasement.

“Indian origin jihadist skips bail, flees UK for Islamic State,” Indian Express, November 14, 2014 (thanks to Lookmann):

An Indian-origin Islamist activist facing trial on terrorism charges skipped bail and fled the country with his family on Wednesday, headed through Paris to the Islamic State, British media have reported. The escape, first revealed by The Daily Mail, came after Abu Rumaysah failed to surrender his passport, a condition of his bail, and has led to opposition charges of police incompetence.

Born Siddhartha Dhar, to a family Indian diplomatic sources in London told The Indian Express was of Bihar-Bengal origin, Abu Rumaysah had been arrested in September along with nine others, on charges of inciting terrorism, as part of an ongoing investigation of the London-based pro-jihadist group al-Muhajiroun.

Indian diplomatic sources said authorities in the United Kingdom had not requested any information on Rumaysah’s links, and there did not appear to be any connection between his radicalisation and his country of origin. The sources added that there was no recorded [sic] of Rumaysah having visited India in the past several years.

Al-Muhajiroun, led by Bangladesh-origin Islamist Anjem Chowdhuri, has been at the forefront of campaigning for the Islamic State in the United Kingdom—mainly in public. Rumaysah, who sources said converted to Islam during his teens and had long been estranged from his family, was a key member of the group and its offshoots, organising roadshows that sought to convert troubled youth to the cause.

It was at one of these that he is believed to have met, and possibly mentored, Michael Adebolajo, who beheaded British soldier Lee Rigby on a London street.

Rumaysah had, several times in the past, offered to renounce his citizenship if he was allowed to travel to the territories in Iraq and Syria now held by the Islamic State. In an interview given to the United Kingdom’s Channel 4 in August, Rumaysah said he “would love to live under the Islamic State and under the shariah”.

In a lecture delivered in September, laden with communal invective, Rumaysah praised Adolf Hitler for seeking to crush a purported Jewish conspiracy he described as “this evil thing”. He added that Zionists had “no regard for human life”, citing as evidence the prominence of Jews in the medical profession, which he alleged dispensed drugs which have “adverse side-effects”.

He also blamed Jews for the rise of Shi’a Islam—who the Islamic State and other Sunni Islamists claim are heretics, and have targeted in large-scale killings across West Asia and Pakistan—saying the mother of its founder had belonged to the faith.

In a November interview to the BBC’s popular ‘60 Minutes’ programme, Rumaysah also defended Muslim vigilante groups charged with attacking women and homosexuals. “I want to see every single woman in this country covered from head to toe,” he said “I want to the see the hand of the thief cut. I want to see adulterers stoned to death.”

Lord Carlile, the former independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, was among several prominent British figures who said he was shocked at the ease with which Rumaysah was able to evade authorities. “Evidence of Mr Rumaysah’s statements at various times show that he wanted to leave the country”, he told the BBC on Wednesday. “So one would have hoped that the authorities were aware of that”

    Nice man.

    However, I would argue that I want to see this person see the light and convert to Christianity and become a decent human being.

    Nobody is beyond redemption, though I grant you this bloke certainly seems like a challenge.

        Yes, he probably is. I am just arguing that Saul of Tarsus was at one time a persecutor of Christians and he went on to be St Paul.

        There is hope for everyone.

          Fascinating! I had not heard that before. I hope it is true. Obviously, it isn’t my opinion that counts but if it does turn out to be true then that is a momentous conversion.

          The Passion of the Christ is a very powerful film.

      Hey nice man,

      Some people are beyond redemption, terrorist scum like this deserve the bullet. I don’t care if their Muslim, Christian, or whatever.

      Unlike the religious who value the afterlife more than the real word, the non believers like me have to live with vermin like this.

      Oh, don’t be so naive, another characteristic of your faith. ‘This man would kill you’, just like all those who share his beleif, make no bones about it.

      I have found Christians by and large their own worst enemies with regard to jihadis.

      Neil Jennison – I want to see this person see the light and convert to Christianity

      Neil …I doubt very much that he would see the light through Christianity …
      who told you that?

      Look at postees …Jen, look at Champ ….paper thin mate ..paper thin christians, who are willing to break tenets of christianity on a whim. That is because there is much confusion in it …and it is severely watered and mightily challenged …hell even Rowan Williams is not into it.

      So please ….no bad advice…

          Graven and Don said they wanted Mecca nuked….you said that they couldn’t have said it….and accused me of lying.

          Subsequently, when you found that they *did* in fact say that …you denied that
          1)you accused me of lying *and*
          2) to save your “friends” embarrassment you denied that they had said it.

          In anybody’s book …that is gross lying…..if it was work – you would have been fired…note how Don or Graven never denied it ..or come to your rescue…loser

    Glad this brainwashed fool has left britain. Let us hope he stays there. It does raise serious concerns that he was untraced and even took a flight.

    If he had been under surveillance by US authorities like the FBI who let the Boston bombers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev run free or watched by the US secret service who allowed an intruder armed with a knife get through multiple layers of security with the old run across the lawn trick, the story would have been the same.

    And that’s putting it nicely. People in Britain are waking up. yeah I know it’s been a slow train coming. If you let the camel get his nose in your tent it’s not long before he’s in the tent with you.

Don’t they realize how foolish they look to the rest of the world? Perhaps they don’t care any more.

      But do they look ridiculous to the rest of the world? The USA has Obama who is in complete denial about Islam and is also totally clueless. Germany and France and the Scandinavian countries are similar.

      Who is there to think the UK looks foolish? Only other fools doing exactly the same thing.

        …Obama who is in complete denial about Islam and is also totally clueless.

        Rasool Obama is hardly clueless about Islam. He just lies about it to keep the public clueless. That’s only good for so long, lots of people are already on to the lies.

          Nov 15, 2014 at 2:49 pm

          “”Rasool Obama is hardly clueless about Islam. He just lies about it to keep the public clueless. That’s only good for so long, lots of people are already on to the lies.””

          I don’t know enough about him to know whether that is true or not. Obviously with his upbringing he should know more about Islam than most, but I don’t know whether he realises what Islam really teaches.

          He is certainly clueless about most matters though as all lefties are.

    All he’ll have to say, for Islam-compliant Cameron, Hague & May, to get back in to U.K straight away, is that he has ‘good intentions.’

    Meanwhile, the UK government block on anti-Islamic jihadists, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer entering U.K, continues.

          Who elected these compromised politicians into power?

          Don’t get me wrong. In the US we too elected lots of compromised leaders into power. However, we cannot write off our future generations just because the majority of our co-citizens prefer to be willfully blind!

    It is a lot to ask of Turkey’s many border positions – to check all incoming – for wannabe jihadis. [A backhander paid and they are through.]

    He don’t wanna be here!!

    We should feel good about that!

    ::

    There was a docu by France 24 – where some Iraqi refugees – Sunnis – whose town have been taken over by Isis – were complaining that the violence only started once the Peshmerga fighters came in to liberate it. They hadn’t resisted Isis rule!! And wished to return home.

    Let me know when IS arrives at the gates of Arabia!!

    Four young Muslims from Sydney have joined IS, good riddance I say.

    http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/sydney-brothers-believed-to-have-joined-islamic-state-20141116-11ntug.html

    They texted their mum “we will see you in paradise”. Hmm I wonder where they got that from. A local Muslim leader is blaiming it on “social media”. Let’s not mention your filthy Quran that tells them to “slay the unbelievers wherever you find them” eh?

    Also IS is claiming to have beheaded another American.
