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

UK Muslim guilty of jihad plot to murder soldiers

Apr 29, 2015 9:53 pm By Robert Spencer

COURTS Teenager 171744How many more young men like Kazi Islam are in Britain today? What is being done — by anyone — to disabuse them of their religious ideas, which give rise to their plotting in this way? Where will these young men be in ten years? Where will Britain be?

“Pictured: Teenage Islamic terrorist who pestered girls for sex while plotting Lee Rigby-style attack on British soldier,” by Duncan Gardham and Darren Boyle, MailOnline, April 29, 2015:

A Muslim extremist has been found guilty of trying to mastermind a Lee Rigby-style terror plot by grooming a ‘vulnerable’ former schoolmate while at the same time sending sexually explicit text messages to young women.

Kazi Islam, from Manor Park, east London sent messages to Harry Thomas, 19, praising Lee Rigby’s killers and encouraging him to buy a knife to attack soldiers as well as the ingredients to make an explosive device.

The court heard that Islam, 18, tried to coerce his friend to buy parts for a pipe bomb including fireworks, hydrogen peroxide, pipes, metal end caps and glue.

At the same time as trying to groom Mr Thomas, Islam was sending highly explicit messages over Blackberry messenger to girls he barely knew, it can be disclosed.

Islam, now 18, is said to have ‘ruthlessly exploited’ his former classmate Mr Thomas, 19, who had attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and suffered from Asperger’s syndrome.

When referring to the bomb components, Islam described them as ‘cake’, although Mr Thomas misunderstood and asked whether he was talking about the ‘b o m b’.

Mr Thomas was not charged with any offence.

Thomas was said to be a ‘vulnerable and impressionable young man’ who had few friends and was desperate to please Islam.

On December 20 2013, Islam messaged Thomas: ‘When I give the order, I want you to kill a soldier…2 soldiers…Not yet though.’

During the same period, Islam also sent a message to a number of young women that it was ‘National Shagging Day’ and sent one girl a highly explicit message about a sex act, adding, when she turned him down: ‘OK you won’t get pregnant though.’

As he continued a conversation about buying bomb-making chemicals with Thomas, Islam sent another young woman an explicit message about another sex act.

On December 23, Islam was talking to Thomas about buying components for a pipe bomb and messaging another girl about sex with her, referring to his ‘sausage.’

Islam left school with no GCSEs and was under the same ‘additional learning support assistant’ as Thomas at Barking and Dagenham College in East London.

While studying for a BTEC diploma level 1 in information technology, Islam showed the assistant a video of an attack on an army truck by a Muslim suicide bomber.

After leaving college he lived next door to his parents in Manor Park, East London and went to work for a sports memorabilia company called Winning Moves in Paddington, West London,

But he also started attending meetings held by former members of the extremist group al-Muhajiroun and a fundamentalist group called Hizb ut-Tahrir, and to try and leave the country for Syria.

Islam began exploiting Thomas’s vulnerability in October 2013 when Thomas messaged him to say his girlfriend had ‘dumped’ him.

While pretending to sympathise and chatting about girls, Islam “took the opportunity to quickly twist the conversation towards religion,” Miss Darlow said.

Over many months, Islam ‘carefully groomed’ Thomas, flattering him when he appeared willing to do his bidding and bullying, threatening and nagging him when he ‘didn’t seem to be dancing to Islam’s tune’ Annabel Darlow QC told the Old Bailey.

Thomas was a vulnerable, lonely and ‘not particularly bright’ young man who was desperate to impress Islam and to try to forge some sort of friendship with him, Miss Darlow said.

‘Islam ruthlessly exploited to the utmost Thomas’s vulnerability and obvious wish to try and ingratiate himself with Islam,’ she added.

‘You may think that Mr Islam is a hardened, ruthless and manipulative individual, old beyond his years, who has an uncanny ability to sniff out and make use of the vulnerable in society for his own interests.’…

    For every 7,000 Muslims approximately one seems to be ready to conduct jihad. This gives a few hundred jihadists per country with more that 2 million Muslims. When there are over five or six million Muslims in a country, there are over a thousand jihadists who can make considerable trouble every day of the year. From then on, it’s only a matter of time before the jihadists seize power and impose a vicious Sharia state.

    There is still time to stop this from happening if steps are taken to deprogram Muslims and stop the immigration.

      I was amused by his appropriate first name, too. A ‘kazi’, in UK slang, is a toilet.

    Interesting how one again the host society lavishes resources on a Muslim and he repays it with violence.
    His extra teaching support being case in point.
    The Boston pair got all sorts of community resources including the prize of citizenship, yet repaid with dead kids and maimed lives.

    BREAKING NEWS…………..

    U.S. soldier who raped 14-year-old Iraqi and killed her family is spared death sentence

    A U.S. soldier who led a gang which raped a 14-year-old girl in Iraq before killing her and her family has been spared the death penalty.
    Steven Green, 24, was sentenced to life in prison after a jury in Kentucky failed to agree that he deserved to die.
    But relatives of the victims expressed outrage and said the decision was ‘almost worse than the soldier’s crime’.
    Green was the ringleader of a gang of five soldiers who raped Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi before killing her, her parents and her six-year-old sister in a town near Baghdad in 2006.
    He was tried in a civilian court after being discharged from the army due to a ‘personality disorder’, and found guilty two weeks ago.
    He was sentenced yesterday, with several jurors saying that the stress of combat was a key mitigating factor.
    The girl’s uncle, Raad Yusuf, 40, said: ‘That court decision is a crime.
    ‘If a non-American had done this, the world would be up in arms and surely he would have been executed.’
    Her grandmother Muneera Mohammed Janabi said: ‘I will hate American soldiers until I go to my grave.’
    The four other attackers had previously been sentenced to between five and 100 years in prison after military courts martial.

      If they’d been mohammedans they would have raped the six-year old, too. And no mohammedan ‘court’ would ever have convicted them.

        24: 2. The woman and the man guilty of illegal sexual intercourse, flog each of them with a hundred stripes. Let not pity withhold you in their case, in a punishment prescribed by Allâh, if you believe in Allâh and the Last Day. And let a party of the believers witness their punishment. (This punishment is for unmarried persons guilty of the above crime but if married persons commit it, the punishment is to stone them to death, according to Allâh’s Law).
        Sunan Abu Dawud

        Book 38, Number 4366:
        Narrated Wa’il ibn Hujr:

        When a woman went out in the time of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) for prayer, a man attacked her and overpowered (raped) her.

        She shouted and he went off, and when a man came by, she said: That (man) did such and such to me. And when a company of the Emigrants came by, she said: That man did such and such to me. They went and seized the man whom they thought had had intercourse with her and brought him to her.

        She said: Yes, this is he. Then they brought him to the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him).

        When he (the Prophet) was about to pass sentence, the man who (actually) had assaulted her stood up and said: Apostle of Allah, I am the man who did it to her.

        He (the Prophet) said to her: Go away, for Allah has forgiven you. But he told the man some good words (AbuDawud said: meaning the man who was seized), and of the man who had had intercourse with her, he said: Stone him to death.

        WHO R NOT PUNISHED?

        Isaiah 13:16

        Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.

        Zechariah 14:2

        For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

      This may seem unjust to you but who is going to impose penalties on all the IS people murdering thousands and raping thousands of women wholesale just because they are not Muslim or even because they are different kind of Muslim. The American soldiers were tried and punished in judicial process. Where is the judicial process in IS murders? They just refer to what Mohammad said, which of course is what you Muslims nnat everybody to be subjected to.
