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

UK Muslima gets prison for promoting jihad terrorism on Facebook

Dec 11, 2014 1:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Runa KhanRuna Khan’s own barrister reflects mainstream belief in the UK when he dismisses her as a misunderstander of Islam, “devoid of any proper… reasonable Islamic teaching.” He does not explain how she came to misunderstand the religion that everyone in the UK is sure is peaceful. Nor does he explain why this misunderstanding is so widespread.

“Runa Khan jailed for Facebook Syria terror posts,” BBC, December 11, 2014:

A mother-of-six has been jailed for five years and three months for promoting terrorism on Facebook.

Runa Khan, from Luton, had previously admitted inciting terrorism in Syria.

Khan, 35, of Maple Road West, had posted a picture of a suicide vest and unwittingly passed details of a route into the country to an undercover police officer.

During sentencing, Kingston Crown Court heard police had found photos of Khan’s children holding guns and swords.

Judge Peter Birts QC said the “only fair interpretation” of those pictures was that Khan had intended to radicalise others.

In an interview with BBC Newsnight, she said: “I was posting up my belief.”
‘Extreme Islamist views’

In September 2013, Khan had re-posted an article entitled “Raising Mujahid Children“, intended for Islamist mothers, the court heard.

The judge said the article amounted to “a manual in encouraging women to carry out jihad”.

Khan had also posted a message on an extremist website, saying she wished her son would one day become a jihadi.

“I pictured the future while I was zipping up his jacket, in sha Allah i’ll be tying the shahada bandana round his forehead and hand him his rifle and send him out to play the big boys game,” she wrote.

Prosecutor Paul Jarvis said Khan held “extreme Islamist views”….

Khan’s barrister, Jo Sidhu QC, described his client as “inflexible” in her religious beliefs.

He said she was “extremely insecure, unsophisticated, binary in her thought processes… devoid of any proper… reasonable Islamic teaching.”

How did she come to misunderstand her religion so thoroughly?

    Of course. As we all well know, Islam is the Worst-Taught Subject in the World, misunderstood worldwide. The obvious solution is massive funding from non-muslim taxpayers.

    ‘Extreme Islamist views’ … or are they? Are the US Marines ‘AMERICAN EXTREMISTS’? Are the FBI and CIA ‘RADICAL AMERICANS’???

    Are the 1% of the American population in uniform ‘RADICALIZED’? No? Do American taxpayers support their troops? Yes.

    The 1% of the Muslim population that is conducting jihad are similarly supported and admired by most practicing Muslims. The Muslims support their TROOPS…the jihadists.

    Runa Khan is no doubt widely admired, except for not being smart enough to stay out of prison, but Islam is a prison.

    So a religion which teaches its adherents to fight and die to establish their the laws upon the Earth until there is no worship other than Allah will create non-binary thinkers?

    The true religion of non-binary minds har har har

    “Bukhari (8:387) – Allah’s Apostle said, “I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: ‘None has the right to be worshipped but Allah’. And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally.”

    Silly from start to finish.

    Nicolai Sennels goes into great depth as to why this Muslimas mental state had everything to do with a proper Islamic teaching.

    As the Muslim ghettos grew, so did the problems that came with them. Now they are fully infested. A danger and an affront to decent people (of good will towards men) everywhere. .

    Did anyone else here watch Dawn of the Planet of the Apes?

    It’s interesting that the Ape culture veiled its females.

    http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cEPlstAeTok/U8dh0BoKLGI/AAAAAAAABRU/ZyrO-dq4lVc/s1600/cerimony+paint-V3-4.jpg

    I couldn’t find any pictures, other than concept art.

      Well, it was interesting to me, and I didn’t post that to be offensive or racist. The Planet of the Apes world historically was a vehicle for social commentary, wrapped into the movie. In the earlier ones, Ape culture had hundreds of years to advance, and wrapped into the theme was Ape culture and feminism, the female Apes were represented quite prominently doctors, and scientists.

      In the latest series we are literally thrown back to the first few generations of Ape culture, female Apes are essentially only in the plot as brood mares and for the most part are not depicted in the film. All but one female Ape was veiled.

      When the artists went to depict an immature culture, they did it by essentially wrapping Islamic cultural gender differentiations, probably without even making a concious effort to do it.

    What would the world be like had Gabriel never talked to Mahound, and Moses never had a conversation with a burning bush? Those two events, both made up mythology, have been the root troublemakers, that have caused the deaths of hundreds of millions and is still causing death. This is not a good path but it is the one most of the world is on…

      Why isn’t she being deported? She is plotting murder against the people of the UK and obviously has ties to Jihad fighters, knowing secret routes into the country. DEPORTATION!!! The only good thing there are doing is having some undercover work done.
