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

UK: Boney M singer’s brother, a convert to Islam, arrested for jihad terror offenses

Apr 17, 2015 4:13 am By Robert Spencer

Burnell-Mitchell“Detectives searched the An Noor Cultural and Community Centre mosque on Tuesday. The inquiry is believed to focus on possible tensions at the centre, where Mr Arwani was a founder member and imam between 2005 and 2011. The centre attracted a number of radical preachers following Mr Arwani’s departure.” This kind of thing is why we don’t see more genuine Muslim reformers.

“Mr Mitchell, his sister and their four siblings emigrated to London from Jamaica when they were children. They are said to have been brought up in a ‘churchgoing’ family in north-west London. He is thought to have converted to Islam several years ago and is now known as Khaled. His wife is a former model who wears a hijab.” So apparently yet another convert to Islam has misunderstood his new, peaceful religion. Yet nary a mosque in the entire world has any program to prevent converts from thinking their religion has something to do with violence. How very odd!

Khaled must have really disliked “Ra-Ra-Rasputin” to join a religion that forbids music altogether.

“Boney M singer’s brother arrested over terrorism offences after being questioned over imam’s murder,” by Justin Davenport and David Churchill, Express, April 16, 2015:

The brother of the lead singer of Seventies pop group Boney M has been arrested on suspicion of terrorism offences after first being quizzed over the murder of a Syrian-born preacher.

Muslim-convert Burnell “Bernie” Mitchell, 61, was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder on Tuesday by counter terror detectives investigating the killing of Abdul Hadi Arwani.

Mr Arwani, 48, a father of six, was shot dead as he sat in his car near Wembley Stadium last week.

Mr Mitchell, a builder and trustee of the An Noor mosque in Acton, where Mr Arwani used to preach, is the younger brother of Liz Mitchell, the former lead singer of the disco group.

Detectives have been searching his Wembley home. Scotland Yard said: “A 61-year-old man arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder Abdul Hadi Arwani was further arrested on Wednesday, 15 April on suspicion of the commission, preparation and instigation of acts of terrorism.”

Detectives searched the An Noor Cultural and Community Centre mosque on Tuesday. The inquiry is believed to focus on possible tensions at the centre, where Mr Arwani was a founder member and imam between 2005 and 2011. The centre attracted a number of radical preachers following Mr Arwani’s departure.

Mr Mitchell is listed at Companies House as a secretary of the centre, which was bought for £1 million in 2005 by Brickridge, a company he owns.

Mr Mitchell, his sister and their four siblings emigrated to London from Jamaica when they were children. They are said to have been brought up in a “churchgoing” family in north-west London. He is thought to have converted to Islam several years ago and is now known as Khaled. His wife is a former model who wears a hijab….

    Jihad committed by this schmuck and/or any other Muscreant could be another attempt to take over an aircraft and… well, who the hell knows what mayhem could be perpetrated then?

    A few years ago, here, I was criticized by an “expert” who sternly informed us all that it was not and would never be possible for someone to use Wi-Fi to take control of a plane from his seat in Economy Class using his hand-held device. Guess what: it can be done…

    Interesting how the main thrust of articles such as these, and in most newspapers as well, if there is a connection to a famous person, no matter how tenuous or innocent, the famed ones become the focus of the story.

    From bad music to bad religion is a short walk, one made with a leg dragging polio limp and twitchy ticks of various parts of the body.

    Cat Stevens made the trip, so why not this loser? But actually, Cat was pretty good when he was still a civilized human being, before he became a Moslem. Never did a thing after he donned the stupid little white cap, though.

    “By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, there we wept, when we remembered Zion.” sang his sister. Is she in danger now? Because this is a Jewish Psalm she sang.

      The British are going to their enslavement without a murmur. Murder and rape will explode in time ,given the numbers here. And still the voters elect traitors and marxists into office. You have no future white man,and you deserve it.
