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

UK: Someone arrested for something in Liverpool

Feb 12, 2015 6:01 am By Robert Spencer

Liverpool skylineThis story is almost certainly about the arrest of an Islamic jihadist, but there is absolutely nothing in it to give the reader any indication of what kind of terrorism is involved here. The British press, like its American counterpart, is indefatigably dedicated to obfuscating the nature and magnitude of the jihad terror threat, no matter what. So it is no surprise that Britain is galloping to its own ruin: most of its people simply don’t realize the full extent of what is happening. And America is following along the same path.

“Terror suspect arrested in Merseyside after series of raids,” by Vikram Dodd and Matthew Weaver, the Guardian, February 11, 2015:

A 31-year-old man was held on suspicion of being concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.

The arrest follows an operation by the UK’s domestic security service, MI5, and police officers from the north-west counter-terrorism unit.

The addresses searched were in Rainhill, St Helens and the Kensington area of Liverpool. Officers wore protective clothing at some of the locations because of fears of noxious fumes. The searches could last several days, police said.

Police added that there was no intelligence of an imminent threat to the Merseyside area.

There was police activity around the Salt and Pepper Bar and Restaurant in Prescot Road in the Kensington area of the city.

The Press Association said officers used electronic “wizzer” saws to cut through the steel shutters on the shopfront, described as an African and English restaurant, which opened less than a year ago.

Police then used battering rams to crash through the doors, leaving the pavement outside strewn with the glass and debris. A street-level door of a stairway leading to a flat above the restaurant was also smashed down by officers.

One shopkeeper said: “Police came and cut the shutters with razors. “I went out and they shouted ‘Stay away! Stay out! Stay in your shop!’. I stayed here two hours. No customers.” A silver Audi A7 parked around the corner from the restaurant was also taken on a low-loader by police.

Det Ch Supt Tony Mole from the NWCTU said: “The NWCTU are conducting a joint investigation with Merseyside police following the receipt of information from law enforcement agencies. It is our intention to carry out a thorough, professional investigation to determine the circumstances and details of the activity reported.

“We are taking all measures necessary to ensure public safety, which is our primary concern. Members of the public will see a lot of police activity at a number of addresses in the coming hours and possibly days. However, it is absolutely vital to stress – and I hope at the same time reassure the public – that there is no current threat or evidence of an imminent attack. We will of course keep the public informed as things progress and would once again encourage them not to be unduly worried.”…

    Maybe he’s just an atheist involved in a parking dispute (did mention a silver Audi A7)?

      Might be one of those fundamentalist Christians, or a Buddhist or a Hindu? We have so much trouble from them and they ascribe their misdeeds so very well to muslims.

        maybe he was up set with them coming in to this country bulling every one. you do know they think they are special and should have every thing they want. has any one ever thought that they were braking the rules. set by the apt complex. maybe they were hogging his parking space. some thing was said bout the visitor’s parking space. maybe they were hogging it. and no one else could visitor’s because the space was all way’s taken up by the sister. if each one had a car. and the sister come over to visit and it was like a live there just to have an address. but she didn’t really live there. some thing is just not right. how long have they lived there. how many Christians live there how many muslims live there. any way he has all this time to kill the Christians and all the muslim that live there or close by.

    On the other hand, they’re not offending any religious group (and by that I mean one in particular), so they don’t have to fear the fate of Charlie Hebdo. The only thing they’re insulting is the intelligence of informed people.

      Welcome to the New Britain, somewhat different from the old one. I can’t help feel that there is a deliberate strategy behind the massive demographic changes that this country, and indeed all of Western Europe, are experiencing. I hope this ends well. Though right now I’m far from sure.

      • joeb says

        Feb 12, 2015 at 12:10 pm

        “I can’t help feel that there is a deliberate strategy behind the massive demographic changes”.

        There is. Labour’s Andrew Neather said so. He said they deliberately opened up the immigration flood gates to change the demographics of the UK “in order to rub The Right’s nose in diversity”.

        Peter Mandelson of Labour also said they “sent out search parties” in order to bring people to the UK.

        So there you have it…not my opinion, but what they said, straight from the horse’s mouth.

          Labour under Blair sought out Pakistanis to immigrate, in order to increase their vote. Why did Hollande win the election in France? The muslim vote.

          Notice how they no longer talk of integration, they now use the term “diversity” instead.

    Bad news for rezali’s new social construct; or maybe good news…

    This is nothing – these guys can learn a thing or two from the Indian press. You should see their laughable reporting when Muslims are in the picture. They never mention the names of the criminals as the names immediately identify whether they are Muslims or Hindus or Sikhs or from North or South or from any other region of India. Whenever their are riots between Muslims and Hindus or others these will be referred as two communities – people immediately know from the news who one community is !!

    Names are finally mentioned in the second or third round of reporting when these are already out from various source and the press can’t hide it anymores.

    I don’t know if it is self censorship or there are laws against reporting the names or Hindu or Muslims since it can be construed as inciting further violence. Truly Orwellian press in India while reporting Muslim crimes.

    The ridiculous lengths to which our press goes in order to deny the
    truth is so tiresome. Most can’t even be bothered to criticise it
    any more! Various sites and Twitter accounts here in the UK circulated
    this story immediately, they and followers understand perfectly the true
    nature of what we’re up against. There seem to be two Britains – one in
    which the smug PC bourgeois multiculturalists reside, and the other
    that is still located on planet Earth where we have to deal with many
    ugly realities – largely thanks to the former.

    Meanwhile, in England, police chief Fahy does not really apologise on Charlie Hebdo intimidation, but indicates he’s after Hebdo readers deemed by police-‘Islamophobic’!:-

    “Asking newsagents for names of people who bought Charlie Hebdo magazine was ‘overzealous and unnecessary’, admits anti-terror police chief”

    An Englishman, Darren Conway, was imprisoned for a year for putting SOMETHING (described as “anti-Islamic materials”) in his window. It is suspected that they probably were “simply standard factual information about Islam and Mohammed”.
    When a Freedom of Information request was made to find out what the offending SOMETHING was it was turned down, as “not in the public interest”.

    Welcome to George Orwell’s Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.
    It helps to be clairvoyant or telepathic. Beware of SOMETHING.

    I’m sorry but I don’t know why we even bother talking about Britain any more, it is a lost cause. How do you turn the tide of the exploding Muslim population, the diminishing numbers of indigenous British people because of minimalistic birth rates and calloused attitude about Islam. Most of these indigenous people because of their ignorance, see no problem with Islam and none whatsoever in embracing an alien 7th century ideology, that stands in stark contrast to British values. Ironically these same people see patriots like Tommy Robinson, Paul Weston and their ilk, who wish to preserve the British values and culture, as bigots and Islamophobes

    The UK politicians are dhimmified, their media are dhimmified, heck the head of the Anglican Church welcomes the Sharia with open arms is obviously also anxious to become a dhimmi. So let the bloody English go to hell in the handbag or prayer rug of their choice.

    The only hope (or miracle) for UK, that I see would be if the Ukip win a landslide majority in the upcoming elections, that would somewhat delay the designs of the Sharia mongrels for only a while. Inadvertently the people of UK better start working on a new design for their flag, to get rid of the union jack and to incorporate the crescent.

    The Queen should be ok because I think she may live just long enough before the Islamic takeover. Charles the heir is already a closet Muslim and I am pretty sure he will declare his conversion to Islam once he becomes King, then all hell will break loose, as there will be mass conversions in the general public that will follow. The beginning of the end…

    Britannia is soon to become the a muslim majority European nation, within the lifetime of most of us…

    God save the Queen!

    Oh, let’s cut the crap and the tense hand wringing and face it – its going to be all out war with this islamo-satanist cult or in 30 yrs it’ll be a squallid sh*thole called Eurabia. The U.K. has totally f’d itself along with most of the rest of Europe. FACE IT! YOUR EITHER GOING TO SCRAPE THIS ISLAMIC SCOURGE FROM YOUR OWN MOTHER SOIL OR START WORKING ON BENDING OVER AND TAKING IN THE @$$ FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF YOUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN!!
