UK: Muslims arrested for conning elderly into funding jihadis’ trips to Syria

Mar 4, 2015 8:06 pm By Robert Spencer

UKpolice2“The victims are told their bank account has been compromised and are then tricked into transferring money. One elderly victim lost around £150,000, police said.” And the money goes to the jihad. British officials better conduct more “outreach” to Muslim communities, and ban more counter-jihadis, to keep this sort of thing from happening.

“Terrorism officers arrest two men in west London,” by Will Ackerman, GetWestLondon, March 4, 2015:

Terrorism officers investigating a major fraud, in which elderly victims are duped into funding UK extremists travelling to Syria, have arrested two men in west London.

Officers swooped on two addresses on Wednesday (March 4), as part of the ongoing investigation by the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command (SO15).

The arrested men – aged 29 and 23 – are being held in custody at a south London police station while enquiries continue.

Officers also executed search warrants at two addresses in north London, another in west London and one in south east London. They are still searching all six addresses.

The arrests – made under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act (PACE) – form part of an investigation into a “large-scale” fraud, in which unsuspecting vulnerable and elderly victims are cold-called at home by a criminal impersonating a police officer.

The victims are told their bank account has been compromised and are then tricked into transferring money. One elderly victim lost around £150,000, police said….

    The end justifies the means in Islam. No evil deed is too low for a jihadist. Why bring them into Western countries when the trouble is so endless and costly?

      “Why bring them into Western countries when the trouble is so endless and costly?”

      One reason only…almost all of them vote for political parties in favor of bigger government.

    There is no depth that Muslims will not sink to. Disgusting people.
    Now, everyone on this site knows by now that I am very much against Ilsam and have never said one bad word against Jews. I also comment on Pamela Geller site and I commented on Halal slaughter. There is a person there who uses the name of flower and she said how Kosher slaugher is humane. Someone else commented that she doesn’t believe that any slaughter without an animal being stunned can be humane and I agreed and said that I don’t belive in any ritual slaughter. This flower person called me an anti-Semite for that and when I challenged her she got worse and said that I have shown to be with my posts. That is utter rubbish and when I tried to reply to her and ask her to point to any of my posts which suggests that I found that I am blocked from that site.
    I did tell her not to be like the Muslims and find phobia where there is none. She is acting like them by calling me an anti-Semite just because we disagree on this one thing.
    I can’t belive that Pamla would block me when there is not one thing that I have ever written which would suggest that. I thought that Pamela would actually read my posts before she would block me just because someone has accused me of it.
    Has anyone else had that experience?

    • Peggy says

      Mar 5, 2015 at 1:56 am

      I agree that it’s best to keep to the topic but this person accused someone else of being anti-Semite first and I was replying to that.
      Anyway, to accuse someone of being anti-Semite simply because you disagree on something is way extreme, especially when I have never sad a bad word against Jews and am anti Islam and pro Jewish. That is so obvious so even if someone working for Pamela blocked me, that person most definitely has NOT read any of my posts and only taken this paranoid person’s word for it. Very unprofessional and Pamela should know that. I have sent an email and asked them to provide me with any post they can find where I appeared anti-Sematic or unblock me. I have replied to that flower person using another email address but this is so ridiculous and I am very insulted.

        Peggy I am not sure how the Jews did their slaughter for offerings in the Temple. But I do know this……….Jesus will not return until the end time sacrifices have stopped……But in order for them to be stopped they have to start again..They were stopped by Antiocus Epiphanes in 167 BC Then in 70 AD the Romans sacked the temple and there has not been an animal sacrifice since In order for the sacrifices to be stopped in the end times the temple will have to be rebuilt so that they can start again ( You have to study Daniel and Revelations to get to the end time sacrifices) and therein lies a big problem
        The Temple Mount is where the Dome of the Rock is located ( Muslim.) so it looks like there will be plenty of blood flowing, both human and animal in the end times……

      Thanks for the reply. I have just found out that my other email address is blocked too. I wonder what’s going on. Anyone here is free to see all my comments on this and Pamela’s site and will see that I have never been anti-Semite. I actually like Jewish people and support them. How can this happen? I have emailed the site and am waiting for a reply.

    UK: Muslims arrested for conning elderly into funding jihadis’ trips to Syria
    …………………………

    Well, why not? Islam has a long and “proud” tradition of caravan raiding, piracy, kidnapping and ransom, and demanding tribute and Jizya. They have always exploited the vulnerable—going after the elderly is just more of the same.

    God, I hate islam.

    • ECAW says

      Mar 5, 2015 at 6:59 am

      Yes Islam has always been either predatory (caravan raiding then, criminality now) or parasitical (jizya then, welfare bleeding now).

    • Spot On says

      Mar 5, 2015 at 8:22 am

      Islam has been the guiding light of the longest running bunch of looters, robbers, crooks, thieves, killers, kidnappers, marauders, and rapists in human history. I could say much worse but I wanted to be nice this morning.

          I would also say criminally mentally ill depraved cannibals, barbarians, and savages except I do not want to disparage the criminally mentally ill. ISIS is definitely engaged in cannibalism. It is too gory for me to describe here. Search on “ISIS feeds son to mother”.

    The only hope is that the jihadi tourists will meet an end care of the British taxpayer funded SAS doing an efficient job in hastening their trip to heaven (where I’m hoping the will find out the Jews or scientolgists are right)

    Anyone who has paid to send a jihadi there that has promptly been eliminated should be eligible for a tax cut

    Just more proof, if proof was needed, of the essential cowardliness at the heart of islam.

    I hadn’ t heard of this, I should have thought there would have been a public warning not to open your door to a copper without verifying name and badge number.

    But that would be ‘islamophobic’ wouldn’t it ? Damn the poor old ladies and gents whose ingrained respect for the police would allow them to hand over their bank details – no; we mustn’t be seen to be ‘raaacist’.

    Akin to Rotherham.

    These Muslims are trying all type of ways to undermine the west through tricks and warfare and our good western leaders cannot see it this is why attack after attack is happening

      Mar 5, 2015 at 11:43 am

      Our so called ;leaders; do not want to see it. The Muslims have them by their cojones as they only thing that worries our ‘leaders is getting re elected to their well paid jobs. they know that the Muslims vote is getting very important and it scares them to death which is why they keep kissing Muslim a*s

    The best thing would be for us infidels to surrender to Islam and then all these noble Muslims will not have to soil their holy hands with all this criminal behaviour!

  11. Sam says

    Mar 5, 2015 at 12:15 pm

    We have millions and millions of bad muslims giving Islam a bad name by cutting throats, beating up women, wiping out Christian population, killing Jews in Europe, cheating and lying to infidels to gather money for Jihad.

    We must be very careful to protect poor “moderate” Muslims so the are not discriminated in this very Islamophobic USA. This makes sense, right?

    Supplementary.

    “Conned by jihadi cold callers:

    Yard reveals pensioners are being fleeced out of savings by ISIS backers.
    Police believe fraudsters were taking money from the old to give to ISIS.
    Pensioners were allegedly phoned and tricked into handing out details.
    The caller would claim to be a police officer as part of the alleged scam.
    One victim reportedly lost around £150,000 to criminals, police say.
    Men, aged 37, 29 and 23, arrested in London after raids on seven properties.”

    They should grab the con-men and drop them in Syria – parachute optional. It’s the non-islamophobic thing to do

    There need to be special courts and new laws to try and then execute convicted terrorists. No lengthy appeals and nonsense. Just get it done.

    Waiting for these savages to eveolve is suicide. We simply don’t have the time.
    We must start to destroy Islam.

      It’s meant to be evolve. I get upset and then don’t check my spelling.
