UK: Muslim who plotted to kill Queen “just discovered his faith”

Nov 8, 2014 10:26 am By Robert Spencer

Queen_Elizabeth_IIHe recently grew a full beard and began wearing Muslim dress. It is odd how no one among the British political or media elites ever seems to notice that those who commit these acts that have nothing to do with Islam are invariably devout and dedicated in their observance of Islam. The misunderstanding of Islam seems to set in with the devoutness — isn’t that strange!

“‘Her Majesty will not shirk her duty’: Queen to attend Remembrance ceremony at Cenotaph tomorrow despite police arresting four Islamic extremists over ‘plot to kill her,'” by Chris Greenwood, James Slack and Martin Robinson, Daily Mail, November 7, 2014 (thanks to Peter):

The Queen has vowed to attend the Remembrance Day centenary ceremony at The Cenotaph despite police arresting four Islamist terror suspects plotting to kill her on the day….

Yesterday armed officers seized the four men, aged 19 to 27, following months of surveillance.

Last night police were said to be interrogating the suspects – who are thought to have hatched a plot assassinate the Queen with a knife….

Although police would not discuss whether the suspects had a specific target, the timing of the raids raised fears of a Remembrance Day outrage.

Islamic State militants have called on ‘self-starter’ followers to target high-profile commemorative events.

Police marksmen from its SO15 terrorism command arrested the youngest suspect on Thursday night at 8.31pm at the £160,000 home he shares with his mother in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. He is said to have recently returned from Pakistan.

Fourteen minutes later a 22-year-old was seized by armed officers at a house in Hounslow.

In an unusual move, the eldest suspect was stopped at gunpoint in his car in Southall, West London, but no shots were fired.

The fourth man was arrested in Uxbridge and searches were taking place in Greenford and Hayes, also in West London.

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

It was reported the allegations are linked to a UK plot – not travelling to Syria to join ISIS.

The use of armed officers for the arrests suggests police chiefs fear the suspects may have acquired weapons. None were found, however….

The home of Yousaf Syed, the 19-year-old suspect, had been raided before – in April during an investigation into potential jihadists.

Another man arrested in that operation complained his passport was seized by the Home Office to stop him travelling to the Middle East.

Neighbours of Syed said he lives with his 41-year-old mother Somia, who works as ground crew for an airline.

One said he had had ‘several run-ins’ with the ‘angry’ teenager.

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.…

    Perhaps I am a foolishly hopeful old simpleton, but this news about Her Majesty MIGHT inject some reality about Islam into crania of the privileged class on the Subjugated (formerly “Sceptered”) Isle, at Robert Spencer calls it.

    However, I’m an American — so what do I really know about what it takes to wake my cousins up ???

      Probably the same as it will take to wake everyone else in the West up – either high status individual killings or low status massacres, and several of them. Blood in the streets either way and plenty of it. It’s got to get a lot worse before it starts to get better.

      No,I’m afraid it won’t.The same old platitudes will be rolled out and we’ll all be told how peaceful Islam is.None so blind—.

      Even the United States’ current administration seems so preoccupied with individual terror threats or avoiding offending people that it appears to be ignoring the ideology underlying individual acts of terror. If this continues, the game of deception being played out by the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States will catch the country off guard when it decides it is time to pursue its goals through meticulously planned violence. You know, when organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood speak of peace, they are not using the word as we westerners do. Peace is only attained through Shariah, through the totalitarian subjugation of everyone in the country. These people will not rest until they achieve this goal.

    • Chris Newcombe says

      Nov 9, 2014 at 6:31 am

      Sadly a lot more than this. Our political Lords and Masters are so frightened of upsetting Muslims that they allow them to march through towns such as Luton shouting hatred for everything Western, of Judaism, of Christianity, and calling for the beheading of British soldiers who have served in Afghanistan. All the while the police stand and watch. If a white Englishman were to say one word against Islam he would be arrested and face 14years in prison for a racially aggravated hate crime. One day though they will find that appeasement doesn’t work but it will probably be too late.

    Judging by the names they are from someplace in Dar Al Islam, the mother says, “He just discovered his faith”. Does she mean he was only a non-observant cultural Muslim until recently becoming more devout, learning the true nature of the faith? This remark regarding his transformation in faith relative to attempted murder sounds pretty Islamophobic to me, when is she going to get banned from the UK?

    Such an Islamophobe working at the airport is certainly a security risk.

      I’m really somewhat skeptical of these “recently” claims now. Same as the Canadian guy whose Muslim father was already fighting in Syria.

      How do you know he wasn’t a devout Muslim before hand? Was he interviewed, run through testing, did he claim to be an atheist on FB, etc.? Do they know that his parents/family were not devout? Did he never go to a mosque? That would seem unusual if his parents did?

      Sorry, most people get religion from their parents. If not… you’d need some really good paper/reporter trails to make statements about only “recently” becoming devout. Unless devout Muslim means “planning at murder the Queen in a jihadi attack.”

    A Muslim “just discovering his faith” means he realizes he has to go out and kill innocent people to please his moon god.

      It looks like another Muzzie convert has set his sail with Muhammad’s verse veil and drifted way off the course of human decency by following an Islamic compass on the wrong ‘beheading’.

    It’s rather a shame the Islamic supremacists aren’t targetting Prince Charles, as his death at the hands of jihadis would mean that he would actually by useful for something in spite of himself. It would be a shame if the moslems would get Elizabeth because she’s about as good a queen as Britain could ever hope for.

      Really??? I am afraid that old lizzy is more worried about her precious Commonwealth than what is occurring in Scotland England Wales or Northern Ireland.

      • Geraldine says

        Nov 8, 2014 at 4:34 pm

        Sad but true. It’s been said that she is personally responsible for opening our borders to “Commonwealth” immigrants in the first place. The argument having been that we are all her “subjects”. Now taken over by our all being subjects of the World State?

    As the Terrorist plot was planned for Remembrance Day:

    It is a true shame and pitty, that the four great Christian Dynasties of Europe (Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha in the United Kingdom, Hohenzollern in the German Empire, Habsburg in Austria-Hungary and Romanov-Holstein-Gottorff in Russia) could not prevent the nations of Europe go to war in 1914 ! And going to war over the wrecked ‘left-overs’ of the degenrated muslim Ottoman Empire !!

    If the war would have been prevented back then, Europe would rule the world till this day, would still be the beacon of civilisation and science !

    Under this circumstances Islam would never had the chance to get as influential as is it today. It would rather have dried – or better – died out long ago, because the strong European and Western World (including North America and the Czaristic Empire) would have been unvincible and because of that very attractive to the Youth of the muslim world, which in great masses would have left Islam !

    But maybe it is not too late yet. After all the old saying is still valid:

    CHRISTUS VINCIT, CHRISTUS REGNAT, CHRISTUS SEMPER IMPERAT

    I’ve been thinking about this and I wonder if Prince Charles isn’t involved in this somehow? He’s a big time moslem backing dhimmi. He’s got the most to gain here. He could then bask in the revelry of being King Charles at last and use his new position to denounce those who are perverting the Religion of Peace and the evil Islamophobes who drive them to murder and rape in the first place. Are the police questioning him?

      ————————————————————————————————————

      It’s regarded as the stuff of conspiracy theorists, but I’m of the opinion that there’s no smoke without fire.

      Apart from being an Islamophile, most likely a convert, Prince Charles is a regular attendee at NWO meetings such as Bilderberg, as was his father. Charles doubtless has his chubby fingers in many other secretive pies.

    See, barring Robert Spencer from the country didn’t pacify Britain’s Muslims one iota. At least the Queen will attend the ceremony; too bad the rest of officialdom doesn’t have her balls.

    Nov 8, 2014 at 2:21 pm

    The mother’s words are telling. He just discovered his faith is her quote. So when a muslim discovers their faith, they decide to kill innocent people, she just affirmed that. Most people would have said my son is misguided and is acting out of context blah blah blah, she doesn’t say this. He just discovered his faith were her words. I know I’m preaching to the quire here, Many of you people know more about islam than I do, I just found her choice of words interesting.

    So what goes on at the trial of these jihadists anyway? Does the truth come out? The truth would be: ( Prosecutor) “So why did you plot to kill the Queen Muhammad?” (Muhammad) “Because the Quran tells me to slay the unbelievers wherever I find them, & the Queen is one of the highest symbols of the unbelievers”. Prosecutor “Oh….thanks for letting us know….. that will be all”.

    ”Neighbours of Syed said he lives with his 41-year-old mother Somia, who works as ground crew for an airline”

    *That* should have been bolded, as well. Who knows what this woman will do; one who says ”my son has just discovered his faith”, not, my son is *misinterpreting* his faith.

    The apple doesn’t generally fall far from the tree.

    Well, if their chance to kill the Queen fails, they still have another opportunity this month to kill the Pope in Turkey. But I’m sure the Queen is beginning to rethink her position on giving her blessings to allow them into her country, surely all the the hate speech from Muslims has been a great insult to her realm and the burning of the poppies and attacks on cadets has been shocking. And totally intolerant for everyone in the common wealth. Well except for the obtuse lefties. The Queen despite her status, is still just a Kafir in the eyes of her muslim subjects and should be killed like the rest of us.
