Breaking Bad in the UK: Muslim chemistry teacher jailed for plot to join the Islamic State

Mar 6, 2015 8:16 pm By Robert Spencer

Jamshed Javeed court caseWhat is he going to do when he gets out, six years from now (or sooner)? Go back to teaching chemistry? This guy is far more dangerous a chemistry teacher than Walter White ever was. Given his views, what possible future does he have in Britain that could bring any good to that country? Of course, the way Britain is likely to be in six years, maybe he will run for Parliament.

“‘Dangerous’ Teacher Jailed For Syria IS Plot,” by Becky Johnson, Sky News, March 5, 2015:

A chemistry teacher from Manchester has been jailed for six years for plotting to go to Syria to join Islamic State fighters.

Jamshed Javeed, 30, was only prevented from joining a group of radicalised young Muslim men abroad because his concerned family hid his passport.

Javeed had already paid for his brother Mohammed and a friend to travel to join jihadi fighters. Both are believed to have since been killed in the fighting.

Judge Michael Topolski QC told him: “You remain adherent to a violent jihadist mindset … You should be considered to be a dangerous offender.”

He said Javeed had been determined to “fight and die for ISIS”, adding “so determined were you to go yourself that you continually ignored the pleas of your wife and parents”.

The teacher was also sentenced to a further three years on licence.

Javeed was arrested by counter-terror police in December 2013 after applying for a new passport to make the trip to the warzone.

Searches on his computer revealed a fascination with violent Islamist material.

He had looked on the internet for “martyrdom operations in Islam”, “soldier shooting in the chest” and “Royal Marine murder”.

On his mobile phone, police found a biography of Osama bin Laden as well as audio files of “Constants in the path of Jihad”.

He had files of photographs of people dressed in battle clothing, carrying or using firearms, pictures of flags used by ISIS – another term for IS – and images of people parading severed heads.

At the time, Javeed’s wife was pregnant with their second child.

His family had recorded arguments which included Javeed’s parents and sister begging him not to go while he insisted: “I am going to go regardless.”

At one point Javeed’s father tells him he will testify against him.

To that Javeed replies “Okay”, and “do it”.

Javeed admitted two counts of engaging in conduct in preparation of terror acts, accepting that he had transferred £1,400 to his brother’s account knowing the money would pay for flights to Syria.

He also confessed planning to travel to the warzone but always maintained he did not have extreme views and intended to join rebels fighting the Syrian president and not Islamic State.

However, police maintained that Javeed was planning to join extremists.

Prosecutor Simon Denison QC told Woolwich Crown Court that Javeed was “preparing himself to commit multiple acts of murder”.

The arrest and subsequent confessions have surprised staff and pupils at Sharples School in Bolton where Javeed taught and was well liked.

Pupil Ismai Valli told Sky News: “Everyone was shocked. They didn’t want him to go because he was a good teacher.”

The police say alarm bells began ringing for Javeed’s family over the summer of 2013 when he changed his appearance and became more of an introvert….

How did he change his appearance? Maybe…he grew his beard long and began wearing Islamic dress?

    Not if it leads to deaths.

    No wonder he wanted out of the UK, it is finished after all.

      Let him go to Syria or whereever he wants to. Just do not allow him
      in after he is finished. Chances are he might meet the virgins soon after
      leaving UK. Problem solved.

    I don’t understand it…He had a job and still went for jihad? Maybe he is just mentally ill or something…

    Drugged. Look at the eyes. I’m beginning to think the teachings of islam are a mental drug, or a lethal cocktail of drugs that delete all moral, ethical & humane considerations.

    “How did he change his appearance? Maybe…he grew his beard long and began wearing Islamic dress?”

    Exactly so, Robert! The BBC on their so-called news programs showed before and after pictures. The before picture showed Javeed clean shaven. As the voice-over said ‘Jaheed became radicalised’ it morphed into a later picture showing the full beard.

    I came with the distinct impression that growing a mohammedan beard is equivalent to radicalisation. Which, come to think of it, is not too far from the truth!

    Thanks for all you do Mr.Spencer – you are simply the greatest voice for civilization in the world. And as horrific as the Islamization of civilized countries is, thanks for sometimes giving us a laugh at the horror – “the way Britain is likely to be in six years, maybe he will run for Parliament.” Lol

    This one’s just the latest in line of ‘respectable muslim professionals’ to be unmasked, one way or the other. There was the ‘nice’ teaching assistant who was one of the 7/7 bombers, and the ‘respectable’ NHS hospital doctor who drove his car packed with explosives into the departure lounge at Glasgow airport, and I believe the joker who was just about to blow up a tube train under the Thames, flood the system and drown the passengers, was a ‘nice, respectable’ something else. Doesn’t it just show that you can’t trust ANY of them? They’re just completely the wrong material for any civilised society.

    I’ll never understand how muslims can make a living in, for example, a profession based involving chemistry with islam’s occasionalism. It just doesn’t make sense.

    • Angemon says

      Mar 7, 2015 at 7:16 am

      It simply doesn’t make sense. It’s not even trying to have their cake and eating it, it’s more like teaching that adding flour, milk and eggs and heating the mixture causes a series of chemical reactions that make a cake while believing that everything happens according the will of allah and that mixing flour, milk and eggs and heating the mixture has nothing to do with cake because allah can very well decide that mixing flour, milk and eggs and heating the mixture can result, for example, in fish and chips, or an automobile, or a dead duck.

      • Oliver says

        Mar 16, 2015 at 3:43 pm

        Angemon,

        You mean mixing the flour, eggs and water -the result -if a cake is because of Allah?

        Really, and he could have made it into a car?

        ( Being sarc- I like your analogy)

        Really dumb or brain dead (or both or a combination) people can beleive some of the Muslim nonsense.

    Am I missing something here? He paid for his brother and a friend to go to Syria, both have since been killed. So why stop him leaving?, he is clearly suicidal, just stop him returning.

      They must be restrained from harming others. Are you without a conscience?

    Judge Michael Topolski QC told him: “You remain adherent to a violent jihadist mindset … You should be considered to be a dangerous offender.”

    Too true. Jihadists are so dangerous, in fact, they should be sequestered on a Devil’s Island or penal colony where they cannot infect others with their vicious Islamic Stockholm syndrome.

    Once again puts the lie to lack of education. The course he should have taken is how to be a human being and respecting their dignity instead of being a barbarian.

    All their ambition and finances are focused on bringing death to non-Muslims.

    Imagine if that energy was directed to positive and peaceful goals.

    I know, dream on.

    It just illustrates the fact that the underlying Islamic ideology supersedes career, family and citizenship. And it can break out at any moment. Hard to trust people like that.

    They get a dispensation for goat bombs, underwear bombs, and other bomb making.

    Perhaps they are more interested in the chemical constitution of the Jinn

    Let him go to Iraq. The UK is way better off without Muslims on their soil.

  16. Richard Courtemanche says

    Mar 7, 2015 at 6:39 pm

    Fine, but UK must fine of way to dispose of these miscreants in a more permanent way rather than at public cost.

    The greatest casualty of ISIS propaganda is loyalty. One quality of human nature, disloyalty, has manifested itself in an usual degree in recent times. Those that have indicated a preference by moving away from their respective homelands to join ISIS have not been clearly labeled treasonous, traitors or subversive. Yet, there seems to be a connection or movement dedicated to betraying the institutions under which they live. Faithlessness in the status quo is not new. Yet in view of the publicity gained by public executions, and the alleged gains made by the ISIS movement, there seems to be a cancerous growth of intellectual dishonesty and complaisance toward the dignity of life. No matter the beliefs we live by, or the current political umbrella we chose to reside under, the inequalities of human birth, the continuance of apparently underserved human suffering, those that have the freedom to think cannot be restricted in their efforts for self-discovery and develop a consciousness that values life.
