UK now arresting jihad terror suspects every day; police call for extra funding to cope with Islamic State threat

Feb 9, 2015 11:33 am By Robert Spencer

XU*5492867As the situation inexorably spirals out of control in Britain, British officials still appear resolutely determined not to investigate the question of why this view of Islam that they think is a drastic misunderstanding of the Religion of Peace has grown so widespread.

“Terror suspects arrested every day in UK as police call for extra funding to cope with Isil threat,” by Tom Whitehead, the Telegraph, February 8, 2015 (thanks to Block Ness):

Police are now arresting a suspected terrorist every day with ministers poised to boost funding amid fears of attacks from Isil “misfits and criminals”.

Metropolitan assistant commissioner Mark Rowley revealed fanatics were being detained on a daily basis following a sharp rise in arrests because of the growing threat from Islamist jihadists.

Mr Rowley, the country’s most senior counter-terrorism officer, said he had been lobbying Government for additional funding to tackle the threat and there were “indications” that would happen.

He said the greatest danger to the UK were “misfits, criminals and vulnerable” who were being targeted by Isil to carry out atrocities on home soil.

Police are also taking down 1,000 web pages of extremist material every week.

More than 600 British jihadists are believed to have gone to Syria or Iraq and half of them have already returned.

Police were not previously aware of 300 of them, Mr Rowley warned.

“We are not just dealing with a classic terrorist organisation, organising plots across the world,” he told the BBC Andrew Marr show.

“We are dealing with a group trying to create a corrupt cult of people, of followers who will act in their name.

“They are trying to attract misfits, criminals and the vulnerable. It is these people, not part of the larger organisation who might act of their own volition.

“That is the challenge on us to have good sight of them and intervene with them.”

The risk posed by the self-starting extremist or terrorist is the gravest concern of the police and security services.

Last month, Andrew Parker, the Director General of MI5, said a terror attack on the UK was almost inevitable because the intelligence agencies and police could not expect to stop every single plot.

And following the terrorist attacks in Sydney and Paris in the last two months, David Cameron, the Prime Minister, warned they could just as easily happen in the UK.

Figures show a total of 327 people were arrested for terrorism offences last year, an increase of a third on the previous year.

They included a sixfold increased in Syria-related arrests from 25 to 165.

Mr Rowley said: “We are disrupting people day in, day out.”…

    Robert, maybe this video will help them understand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7AUOyfp3og

      Thanks, S.P.C. — A funny vid, with many others on the right side, vertically arranged — some featuring the media truth tellers who risk their lives. Let us not forget that fact.

    Extra funding? No way. If they did that that would be Islamophobia and it hurt Muslims feeling. If anything they will decrease the budget to show how tolerant they are. M

    Yes, as Roberts puts it, “spirals” is the right verb : a deathly descent at ever increasing speed.

    And remember this : when the UK becomes seized by completely open jihad combat — more fully than the daily/weekly rate of today — such obvious organized supremacist near-victory WILL BE A HUGE MOTIVATING FACTOR FOR MUSLIMS IN THE REST OF EUROPE.

    How long until that near-victory happens ? IMHO — maybe six months.

      By the way, take a look at the latest post by the superb David Wood — at http://www.answeringmuslims.com.

      It is on whether burning people is “un-Islamic” . . . Wood does his typical deep scholarship citations of texts in the Trilogy and Reliance of the Traveler.

      And, as is always the case with him, he gets in a few laughs. Another courageous counter-jihadist, to whom we owe huge gratitude — putting his life at risk every day.

    ”They are trying to attract misfits, criminals and the vulnerable. It is these people, not part of the larger organisation who might act of their own volition”

    Misfits and criminals, yes; that admirably describes anyone who names themselves as a muslim. ‘Vulnerable’ ? Not so much.

    vul·ner·a·ble

    ”The risk posed by the self-starting extremist or terrorist is the gravest concern of the police and security services.”

    ‘Self-starting’ ?? Even a self-starting gas pilot light has to have a spark. I wonder what these *idiots* consider to be the spark that self-starts the ‘extremist or terrorist’ ? could it be the texts of the koran/hadith/the sunnah ??!!

    Good heavens, **no** !! How islamophobic and racist I am to even suggest such a thing. Mea Culpa. islam is a religion of peace, and whatever atrocities are carried out by devout muslims, in the name of allah and/or mohammed, **has nothing to do with islam, which is a religion of peace** And those who quote from the koran/hadith/sunnah in order to justify their actions, are ** hijacking this wonderful religion and are not true muslims**.

    Gotcha.

    They can throw all the money they want at the police. As long as they refuse to acknowledge that what they call “radical islam” is in fact mainstream islam, they have no chances of combating “radicalization”.

      Indeed. Well stated.

    UK now arresting jihad terror suspects every day; police call for extra funding to cope with Islamic State threat
    ……………………………

    Did anyone notice the story immediately preceding this one on Jihad Watch?

    “UK: Muslim caught on street with knife on way to behead a soldier”

    I think that pretty much sums up the situation.

    But with all this Jihad insanity, and authorities openly admitting that under the circumstances that another major Jihad terror attack in Britain is just a matter of time, what else are the police spending their valuable time doing? Why, they’re trying to get lists of good Britons who bought copies of Charlie Hebdo:

    “Sharia UK: Police sought names of people who bought Charlie Hebdo”

    http://www.jihadwatch.org/2015/02/sharia-uk-police-sought-names-of-people-who-bought-charlie-hebdo

    Suicidal madness.

    Why give them any more money? They’ll only blow it on more diversity training, more traffic police to hound motorists and more overtime to persecute people who speak out against Islamisation.

    Actually this is good news. The police are trying to arrest the terrorists and very often succeeding. They want more funding to relieve the already over-burdened criminal justice system. The knife-bearing assassin never reached his target because the police intervened.

    It’s bad that there is so much terrorism. But it would be much, much worse if there were no arrests.

    seriously, what are we going to do? this is getting bad. is it too late to save the UK? it amazes me how little people know about this stuff. most people in this country live in blissful ignorance. how can we stop what is happening?

    All it will take is a major attack in the UK or Europe.

    The first duty of government is to protect and defend the lives and interests of the people.

    If it fails to deliver then history shows us that the people will simply take over this responsibility with the inevitable consequences of vigilante law. The failure will sit with the elected officials and they will be responsible.

    As far as Fatty Choudhury is concerned, I’m surprised there isn’t a price on his head. It’s only a matter of time before he gets taken down either the state will do it, if they fail then the people will.

    We have remote and desolate Islands in this country, St Kilda, , it’s about time that we constructed a prison camp on St Kilda Choudhury can spend the rest of his life contemplating the vast North Atlantic and the Puffins.

    Alternatively send the fuckers to South Georgia. Let them freeze to death with the Penguins mining coal and resources for the country hosts they betrayed.
