Jihad Watch

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

Since converting to Islam, UK woman has murdered 400 people

May 18, 2015 11:21 pm By Robert Spencer

Samantha-LewthwaiteHow many did she murder before converting to Islam? Zero, right? And she ascribes her activities now to Islam. Yet no one thinks the phenomenon of converts to Islam becoming jihadis is worthy of study. The mainstream analysts just wave it away with a mumble or two about being “radicalized on the Internet.”

“White Widow Samantha Lewthwaite ‘has killed 400 people in reign of terror against the west,'” by Stewart Whittingham, Mirror, May 17, 2015 (thanks to Pamela Geller):

White Widow Samantha Lewthwaite has murdered 400 people after becoming a key figure in jihadist terror group al Shabaab.

The 32-year-old mother of four’s atrocities include last month’s slaughter of 148 by gunmen at a university in Kenya, say security chiefs.

One told the Mirror in the Somalian capital, frequently bombed by al Shabaab: “This lady sits at the right hand of the leader directing attacks.”

She has been rapidly promoted through the ranks of al Shabaab after many of its leaders died in drone attacks.

The London University graduate was quickly recognised as intelligent and evil-minded enough by jihadi terror bosses to be trusted with the most horrific atrocities.

A senior Somali anti-terror officer says Lewthwaite is now at the right hand of al Shabaab leader Ahmad Umar and is suspected of ordering the deaths of more than 400 innocent people.

He said: “She is an evil person but a very clever operator.”

Lewthwaite, of Aylesbury, Bucks, is believed to have directed terror raids, suicide attacks and car bombings in Somalia and Kenya, as well as masterminding last month’s slaughter of 148 people, by gunmen at a university in Garissa, northern Kenya.

She has also launched a recruitment drive of teenagers and women as suicide bombers after bribing their desperate families with as little as £300.

One London resident blew herself up at a hotel in the Somali capital Mogadishu in February killing 25.

And Lewthwaite is believed to have sent brain-washed boys as young as 15 to their deaths as suicide bombers – after they were pumped full of heroin.

The top officer at Somalia’s National Intelligence and Security Agency – who we are not naming to protect his identity – added: “The lady has moved up the ranks. She is one of the most important figures in the terror group.

“We think this lady is sitting at the right hand of the leader directing attacks.

“She does not carry out attacks herself as she is too important but is responsible for many, many deaths – hundreds.

“She uses children to kill for her after giving money to their families.”

But he says the world’s most wanted woman is now facing the same fate as her dead former jihadist leaders. NISA operatives are working with MI6 to capture her, dead or alive.

The Somali spy chief added: “We share all our information with British agents here in Mogadishu. They are here to keep an eye on the lady and other Britons in Somalia.

“The SAS are ready to get her or we are ready to call in a drone strike against her. We will get her eventually.

“We know she has surrounded herself with other Britons, her own people as her Somali language is not so good. They are her lieutenants and bodyguards.”

Lewthwaite, whose dad is a former soldier who served in Northern Ireland, is the widow of Germaine Lindsay – one of the London 7/7 suicide bombers.

She fled Britain in the wake of the 2005 attacks that killed 52 and has been on the run for nearly four years after she and British terror suspect Jermaine Grant, 30, plotted to blow up tourists in Mombasa.

The fanatic has been accused of being one of the masterminds behind the Westgate mall attack in Nairobi where 67 people, including five Brits, were murdered by al-Shabaab in 2013.

Interpol issued a Red Notice warrant for Lewthwaite and security services in 200 countries are hunting for her.

It is thought she has changed her appearance through plastic surgery, dying her hair and loing two stone.

She narrowly escaped death in March when she had just left a terrorist camp that was bombed by a US drone attack in March.

Kenyan jets have also bombed camps in Somalia where she was hiding.

The Somali officer added: “The lady does not sleep in the same place twice. She moves around all the time.”

It is thought she is hiding out near the town of Haaway in southern Somalia which is an al-Shabaab stronghold. Local villagers have been warned not to approach the area by the Islamic extremists.

Last summer The Mirror revealed that the White Widow married again to al Shabaab warlord called Hassan Maalim Ibrahim, aka Sheikh Hassan.

Al Shabaab is an Al Qaeda offshoot based in Somalia which still controls a fifth of the lawless country despite military setbacks against 10,000 African Union peacekeepers known as Amisom.

The extremists are fighting to impose strict Islamic law in Somalia and have banned football, dancing, music and even mobile phone ring tones.

Amisom have driven them out of towns and cities and obliterated much of their leadership with drone attacks and bombing raids.

An Amisom source revealed: “Lewthwaite comes to Hassan when she wants to hide out. She is protected in no-go areas by his clan and she often poses as a camel herder. She is dressed all in black robes and gloves so her white skin does not give her away.”

It is thought she only sees her children rarely and does not take them with her on the run.”

Captured terror boss Zakariye Ismail Hersi offered to betray the White Widow in January after he was captured.

He revealed she had been hiding out in the jungles of Ras Kiyamboni near the Kenyan border.

A suicide squad of up to 15 fighters often guard her. Two months she ago was seen with 25 women recruits in the city of Harardhere in northern Somalia after crossing the sea by dhow from the Yemen.

Lewthwaite is also feared to have helped plan last month’s attack on a university in Garissa, Kenya.Gunmen stormed the university and shot 148 Christian students dead.

If they could not recite the Koran they were executed.

Cynthia Charotich, 19, told how she drank body lotion and hid in a cupboard for two days to escape the bloodbath.

Another student Eric Wekesa said: “What I managed to hear from them is ‘We came to kill or finally be killed.’ That’s what they said. “It was horrible, there was shooting everywhere.”

Kenya’s security forces fear twisted Lewthwaite is on a revenge mission against Kenya after they killed her mentor – Sheikh Abubakar Shariff was killed in the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa.

She had lived in a safe house there where The Mirror found her terrorist manifesto.

The hand-written ‘Diary of Death’ revealed she had brainwashed young radicals for a Holy War against the West.Itis thought brutal Islamic State executioner Jihadi John was on his way to meet the White Widow when he was arrested at an airport in Tanzania in 2009.

Mohammed Emwazi Al-Shabaab gunmen also ambushed a bus in November in Kenya and murdered 28 non-Muslims.

Kenya is now planning to build a wall across its border with Somalia to try and stop attacks.

William Ruto, the Kenyan deputy president, said: “The way America changed after 9/11 is the way Kenya will change after Garissa.”

In February al-Shabaab released a video featuring an extremist with an English accent calling for terror attacks against London’s Oxford Street and Westfield shopping centre.

He called on followers to “hasten to heaven” with a suicide attack similar to the Westgate massacre.

It is also thought brutal Islamic State executioner Jihadi John was on his way to meet the White Widow when he was arrested at an airport in Tanzania in 2009.

Security services think Mohammed Emwazi had been due to travel to Kenya to become a disciple of Lewthwaite before he then travelled to Syria to unlease his reign of terror.

      In the UK the only people who convert to islam are sociopaths who want divine authority for their wicked
      proclivities.
      There are so many immigrant mohammedans in the UK that only a handful of courageous journalists dare face up to the unique evil of islam.

      The ‘monsters’ are the source texts of Islam that approve rape, enslavement, vigilantism, assassination, plunder and lying.

      Samantha Lewthwaite puts the source texts into action.

      She knows the sources texts of Islam because she was in study groups.

      Islamic study groups are the cause of ‘radicalization’ because the students learn Islam’s violent source texts.

      Choices: 1) ban Islamic study groups 2) ban the Islamic texts 3) begin government-led deprogramming 4) deport all Muslims and quarantine them.

      Without recognizing Islam’s source texts as the problem, there is no solution.

    She is a child of the devil and proud of it. How many has satan killed since he turned evil? He is responsible for all the deaths because he started the ball of sin rolling through the history of mankind. She is following his evil example. And she does not have a clue as to what is going to happen to her when the devil’s reign of terror is over.
    Ugly inside and out, she is.

    The Muslimah must have had some sort of love affair with the holy Koran.

    We ex-Muslims know that Islamic theology is a misogynistic fraud.

    >>>>>

    Should Women Respect Muhammad and His Islam?

    Muslims love to claim that Islam has granted women equal rights. Sadly, this is not true. The Qur’an states several times that women are to be granted less rights then those enjoyed by men.

    This article will examine the status of women and their rights according to Islam, as well as some of the many disgusting things that Muhammad said regarding women.

    The inherent oppression and degradation of women in Islam is abhorrent. For every good thing Muhammad’s Islam says about women, one can easily find a passage referring to women in the most unkindly of lights. Such is the reality of the fundamentally contradictory religion of Islam. One minute Islam is the perfect religion of peace and justice – the next it commands Muslims to maim, murder and subjugate others. Muslim women should learn the truth about Islam, and fast, if they truly care about their daughters and the future of women in general.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In controversial verse 4:34 of the Qur’an, men are told to beat their disobedient wives after first warning them and then sending them to sleep in separate beds. This horrendous verse approves of and even sanctions, domestic abuse. As we shall see momentarily, Islamic theology also permits slavery and rape. No person of sound mind and good heart could believe that this is the wish of god. Islam is nothing more than the cult of a long dead, selfish little mad man named Muhammad ibn Abdullah.

    Qur’an, 4:34

    Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme.

    Here is an examination of how other translators render this controversial passage:

    Pickthall: “and scourge them”
    Yusuf Ali: “(And last) beat them (lightly)”
    Al-Hilali/Khan: “(and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful)”
    Shakir: “and beat them”
    Sher Ali: “and chastise them”
    Khalifa: “then you may (as a last alternative) beat them”
    Arberry: “and beat them”
    Rodwell: “and scourge them”
    Sale: “and chastise them”
    Asad: “then beat them”

    Hadith, Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 11, Number 2142:

    Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab:

    The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man will not be asked as to why he beat his wife.

    The Qur’an permits men to marry up to four wives, and have sex with slave girls if they want to do so:

    004:003 “If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice”

    According to Muhammad and his Islam, a woman’s testimony is worth half that of a man’s:

    002:282 “Get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her”

    The Qur’an compares women to a field (tilth) that a man is free to use when, and as he chooses:

    002.223 Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will; but do some good act for your souls beforehand; and fear Allah. And know that ye are to meet Him (in the Hereafter), and give (these) good tidings to those who believe.

    Hadith, Sahih Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 6, No. 301:

    Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:

    Once Allah’s Apostle went out to the Musalla (to offer the prayer) o ‘Id-al-Adha or Al-Fitr prayer. Then he passed by the women and said, “O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you (women).” They asked, “Why is it so, O Allah’s Apostle ?” He replied, “You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you.” The women asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?” He said, “Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?” They replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn’t it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?” The women replied in the affirmative. He said, “This is the deficiency in her religion.”

    The Qur’an allows men to marry pre-pubescent girls, stipulating that Islamic divorce procedures shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated.

    065.004
    YUSUFALI: Such of your women as have passed the age of monthly courses, for them the prescribed period, if ye have any doubts, is three months, and for those who have no courses (it is the same): for those who carry (life within their wombs), their period is until they deliver their burdens: and for those who fear Allah, He will make their path easy.

    PICKTHAL: And for such of your women as despair of menstruation, if ye doubt, their period (of waiting) shall be three months, along with those who have it not. And for those with child, their period shall be till they bring forth their burden. And whosoever keepeth his duty to Allah, He maketh his course easy for him.

    SHAKIR: And (as for) Those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and of those too who have not had their courses; and (as for) the pregnant women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him his affair.

    Muhammad probably never even existed, yet he is recorded in Islam’s canonical texts as being a deranged con man who has betrayed women. Muhammad has betrayed all of mankind, in fact. Here is some more of what Muhammad said and did:

    Hadith, Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 460:

    Narrated Abu Huraira:

    Allah’s Apostle said, “If a husband calls his wife to his bed (i.e. to have sexual relation) and she refuses and causes him to sleep in anger, the angels will curse her till morning.”

    Hadith, Sahih Muslim, Book 008, Number 3371:

    Abu Sirma said to Abu Sa’id al Khadri (Allah he pleased with him): 0 Abu Sa’id, did you hear Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) mentioning al-‘azl? He said: Yes, and added: We went out with Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) on the expedition to the Bi’l-Mustaliq and took captive some excellent Arab women; and we desired them, for we were suffering from the absence of our wives, (but at the same time) we also desired ransom for them. So we decided to have sexual intercourse with them but by observing ‘azl (Withdrawing the male sexual organ before emission of semen to avoid-conception). But we said: We are doing an act whereas Allah’s Messenger is amongst us; why not ask him? So we asked Allah’s Mes- senger (may peace be upon him), and he said: It does not matter if you do not do it, for every soul that is to be born up to the Day of Resurrection will be born.

    “By him in Whose Hand lies my life, a woman can not carry out the right of her Lord, till she carries out the right of her husband. And if he asks her to surrender herself [to him for sexual intercourse] she should not refuse him even if she is on a camel’s saddle.” — Ibn Majah 1854

    It’s amazing how stupid so called intellectual people can be. If she only knew a little bit about the bible, some early church history, gnostic writings, Jewish writings, some pre Islamic history of the peoples of the Middle East she would have been 100% immune to the fraudulent claims of the Quran and Islam with all its second rate borrowings and distortions. I’m guessing she learnt nothing of the previously mentioned but instead was indoctrinated through the leftist education system to think that Christians, in particular white Christians, are the only perpetrators of evils in the world and all the brown skinned and/or non Christian peoples are only ever victims.

        May 19, 2015 at 12:31 pm

        I agree with you. People are attracted to things that enhance the feelings they already have. She likes killing, ordering people to kill, planning the killings. It gives her a thrill. If the little people to whom she gave birth get killed, she will most likely pretend much like the woman said of her Boston bomber son, that he was *good.*
        The woman is evil from the top of her scarfed head to the soles of her feet; her hands are bloody and she’ll never be free of the guilt for the deaths she has caused, because repenting is so totally unlikely. She enjoys the killing far too much.

      How many people has Islam converted thanks to rational argument and peaceful preaching? Mahommed only converted some 100 in Mecca in 10 years. They have only enforced Islam and sharia by the sword. Besides they are incapable of any logical discourse. How could they since the Quran itself is full of contradictions?

    Those of us who have long opposed capital punishment have difficulty when faced with people like Samantha Lewthwaite who may turn up in court one day if they haven’t been killed in battle or special operations. Perhaps countries that have abolished the death penalty could make exceptions for individuals like Samantha by drafting once off legislation allowing them to be executed. The movement to have capital punishment removed from the statute books did not have people like her in mind at the time and given that the War on Terror is in fact a war, then it should probably be followed with ‘Nuremburg’ trials and executions of the more vicious and malevolent individuals, sad as it is to have to revert to this course of action once more.

      “Those of us who have long opposed capital punishment have difficulty when faced with people like Samantha Lewthwaite who may turn up in court one day if they haven’t been killed in battle or special operations.”

      That’s why no one should be opposing capital punishment.

        Let me quote from the Bible, “. . . But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he [the government] does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God’s wrath on the wrongdoer.” (Romans 13:4) “The sword” is the sword of execution. God gives the government the right and duty to execute the truly guilty premeditated murderer for His commandment is: You shall not murder. But people these days don’t care what God’s commandments and instructions are. They think that they are smarter in disciplining people than God is. Just recently the board let go a prisoner from jail who had been guilty of murder in the past, and the prisoner then killed someone else here in Canada. Smart, eh? If he would have been executed as he should have been, that poor innocent woman that he later killed would be still alive and her mother would not be mourning the death of her beloved daughter.

          I’ve heard the commandment is literally “Thou shall not murder”. Killing another person is allowable in war, and as punishment. So killing can be moral or immoral, depending on circumstance.

    History is replete with what happens to women leaders immersed in a mysogynistic society. Joan of Arc comes to mind. Sooner or later Lewthwaite will make some serious error and the Jihadis will send her to Jannah. If the infidels don’t get her, a fellow traveler will. It’s just a matter of time – the leopards don’t change their spots.

      I believe that Joan of Arc was actual a male with a medical condition affecting the genitals. He was captured by the English and it was reported that he did have male genitalia but his testicles were abnormal, being withdrawn into his body.

    Right now, the UK Government should annul her citizenship and publicly declare her Exile and Outlaw.

    Then quietly tell the Kenyan and Ethiopian non-Muslim authorities that they shouldn’t bother even trying to catch her alive: if they ever get the chance, just shoot her on sight. In light of her instigation of/ abetting of the atrocities at the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, it would be justifiable.

    May 19, 2015 at 3:18 am

    From a previous column by Robert:

    The Koran exhorts believers to “Fight them [those who oppose Islam], Allah will torment them with your hands, humiliate them, empower you over them, and heal the hearts of the believers, removing the rage from their hearts” (Koran 9:14-15).

    As usual, to understand the significance of any Koran verse, one must turn to the sira andhadith—the biography and anecdotes of Muhammad, respectively—for context.

    Thus we come to the following account concerning the slaughter of ‘Amr bin Hisham, a pagan Arab chieftain originally known as “Abu Hakim” (Father of Wisdom) until Muhammad dubbed him “Abu Jahl” (Father of Stupidity) for his staunch opposition to Islam.

    After ‘Amr was mortally wounded by a new convert to Islam during the Battle of Badr, Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud, a close companion of Muhammad, saw the “infidel” chieftain collapsed on the ground. So he went to him and started abusing him. Among other things, Abdullah grabbed and pulled ‘Amr’s beard and stood in triumph on the dying man’s chest.

    According to Al-Bidaya wa Al-Nihaya (“The Beginning and the End”), Ibn Kathir’s authoritiative history of Islam, “After that, he [Abdullah] cut his [‘Amr’s] head off and bore it till he placed it between the hands of the Prophet. Thus did Allah heal the hearts of the believers with it.”

    This, then, is the true significance of Koran 9:14-15: “Fight them, Allah will torment them with your hands [mortally wounding and eventually decapitating ‘Amr], humiliate them [pulling his beard], empower you over them [standing atop him], and heal the hearts of the believers, removing the rage from their hearts [at the sight of his decapitated head].”

    The logic here is that, pious Muslims are so full of zeal for Allah’s cause that the only way their inflamed hearts can be at rest is to see those who oppose Allah and his prophet utterly crushed—humiliated, mutilated, decapitated. Then the hearts of the believers can be at ease and “healed.”

    This is surely one of the reasons behind the Islamic State’s dissemination of gory videos and pictures of its victims: the new “caliphate” is trying to heal the hearts of every believer inflamed for the cause of Allah.

Dunno how Abraham feels about Islam, but I do know that I feel that what New Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is doing is the right thing by the light of Allah.

      This makes criticism of the New Caliph an attack on Islam itself, and to attack a religion is bigoted and hateful. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. If it feels like you’re smoking crack or a wad of meth that makes your eyes pop out and beads of sweat to appear on your face, well, in a way you are. But you’ll be toking up with Dubya, Barack Hussein and Hill, and that ain’t bad company. These are very important people, all Ivy League educated folk along with O’Reilly and Ingraham, among many others.

    William Ruto, the Kenyan deputy president, said: “The way America changed after 9/11 is the way Kenya will change after Garissa.”

    So…Kenya will import more Muslims and cut them welfare checks to breed more babies? Cuz that’s all we did really.

    Does anyone, anywhere in the world still believe that Islam is a religion of peace?

    So let me get this right? The Creator of the Universe came to earth. Lived His life. And gave us an example on how to live ours. Yet Samantha Lewthwaite thinks killing hundreds of folks made in the image of God will somehow glorify God? (You know….. The second they kill they shout: Allah Akbar!! Allah Akbar!! ‘God is great’)

    Something tells me she will be very disappointed when she stands before God the Father……

    “When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his robe and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. “You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.”

    Jesus (Circa 33 A.D.)

    “William Ruto, the Kenyan deputy president, said: “The way America changed after 9/11 is the way Kenya will change after Garissa.”

    And the way the UK changed after 7/7?

    So we can look forward to Kenya claiming that all this is nothing to do with Islam, and continuing to invite tens of thousands of mohammedan savages to immigrate?

    This shows how Islam converts human beings into demons without and conscience!! Following this religion makes Muslims brain dead that they cannot differentiate between right and wrong and good and evil.

    It is amazing how the Muslim world remains unconcerned with the genocidal crimes of likes of this woman and ISIS, al- Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabab, Lashkare Toiba, etc, etc, One can only conclude all Muslims are complicit in these crimes or they would take steps to totally eradicate these murderers!!

    I spent a year in the Midlands of England in the late 50’s….Yes, it was a very long time ago. It deeply saddens me to read what the UK has become…..liberalism is killing the UK just as its killing the west……..Quite sad indeed

      If you return to the Midlands on vacation no doubt you’ll end up in Birmingham to shop or maybe take a pint or two. The city now rivals Malmo as the most mozzed up Infidel city on earth, so take along a conspicuous copy of the Holy Ko-Ran and wear one of those geeky little white caps. That way your survival rate will be twice as high cuz they frown on uppity Infidels in Birmingham nowadays.

    He said: “She is an evil person but a very clever operator.”

    This is an unintentional insult of Islam. The man now universally called the Prophet Mohammed by the news entertainment community killed 600, so does this make him one third eviler than the White Widow?

    I don’t think so. I think the Prophet Mohammed is far more evil than the White Widow, because she enjoys the benefit of modern weapons, while the Prophet Mohammed was forced to do his Jihad mass murder operations lopping off one head at a time. Head chopping is hard work, having chopped a cord of firewood myself I can assure you of that, although I must admit that wood chopping doesn’t create the hazardous slippery liquid mess that head chopping does. Rags, bring along a stack of rags and sop up the blood and cartilage as it spills to keep your footing safe for doing the chopping, I say.

      That doesn’t happen only in islam. It’s called “zeal of the convert”.

      • gravenimage says

        May 19, 2015 at 11:31 pm

        True, Angemon—but a zealous convert Jew or Christian or Buddhist is not apt to go around murdering hundreds of people to show what a devout person he is…

        • Angemon says

          May 20, 2015 at 2:39 pm

          True, GI. A Christian may go door to door spreading the Gospel and a Buddhist may stop eating meat, but they certainly won’t start killing because of their religion. I wasn’t thinking just about religion though – many “extreme-left” individuals I know of come from wealthy families.

      TH: ‘They have only enforced Islam and sharia by the sword.’

      Coupled with that is the mandatory requirement that all children born to Muslims are automatically Muslim.The boast that Islam is the fastest growing religion is also because of their high birth rate.The sight of a pregnant Muslim mother pushing a baby in a pram with a toddler in tow is very common. Furthermore, our prisons are crawling with Imams – a ripe harvest among the disaffected, disturbed and pathological. Obviously prison authorities think this is a positive thing.

      By the way, the claim that Islam is the fastest growing ‘religion’ (I prefer diabolic political ideology) is bogus. It might be in some areas but not worldwide. Christianity far outstrips it in much of the so-called Third World where Islam is generally feared and loathed.

      I agree Miriam that the converts are the vilest of the followers .
      We only have to look at the Muslims of Pakistan India and Bangladesh.
      Their forefathers suffered horrendous and unimaginable tortures and eventually lost the will to live as Hindus – conversion to Islam was their way to cease suffering the discrimination and persecution inflicted upon them by their foreign Muslim rulers.

      Now they’re the most energetic and frenzied adherents of Islam. We see evidence of this in The UK in places such as Manchester, Leeds, Cardiff, Birmingham, Oldham, Rotherham, Crawley, ,Oxford, Cambridge, Luton, Coventry and in places in London such as TowerHamlets, Southall, Tooting, Newham, Waltham Forest,, Redbridge. It is their women who wear the full niqabs, their men who wear the man dresses. It is Saudi money building the numerous mosques to which they flock. Their ancestors lives before Islam is erased from their memories. They face Mecca several times a day and exult in their psychological,,political, social and economic chains of servitude and slavery.

    I’ve been saying this all along Western converts to Islam are monsters. It’s really worth pondering what Robert said. Before she converted she didn’t kill anyone but afterwards she killed more than 400 people. She relates her acts to Islam, but our apologists don’t want to hear about that. They keep telling us it’s got nothing to do with true Islam. Preposterous! How can anybody be so stupid?

    These Western apologists are digging the grave of Western culture.

    Since converting to Islam, UK woman has murdered 400 people
    ………………………………..

    Oddly, converting to the “religion of peace” tends to have that effect on people…

    Samantha Lewthwaite is just a bit more ambitious than your average Western “revert”—apart from that, she is entirely typical.

    More:

    One told the Mirror in the Somalian capital, frequently bombed by al Shabaab: “This lady sits at the right hand of the leader directing attacks.”
    ………………………………..

    A minor point, but one that drives me straight up the wall. I have *no* problem with referring to decent people as “ladies” or “gentlemen”. I don’t even mind the terms being used if the character of the individuals is uncertain: i.e., “this lady was an eyewitness to the crash”, or “three gentlemen were injured in the accident”—this merely gives an optimistic benefit of the doubt when one has no reason to think ill of the people in question.

    But an evil murdering b*tch responsible for the murder of 400 people, many of them innocent civilians? That’s no lady…

      ”But an evil murdering b*tch responsible for the murder of 400 people, many of them innocent civilians? That’s no lady…”

      I agree, graven. It also drives me up the wall when a murdering pos like Tsarnaev is referred to as ‘Mr. Tsarnaev’, Abdelojo is referred to as ‘Mr. Abdelojo’. Such quasi respectful usage is utterly undeserved, and totally out of place.

    “This lady sits at the right hand of the leader directing attacks.”

    The right hand has special meaning in Islam, as in … “Those whom your right hands possess” … and so forth. A right hand woman is a sex slave. Since this is probably not what you mean, it might be better to describe her as simply a trusted adviser avoiding all mention of the right hand.

    • Mirren10 says

      May 20, 2015 at 10:13 am

      ”A right hand woman is a sex slave. ”

      What makes you think Lewthwaite *isn’t* a sex slave ? It wouldn’t surprise me a bit. To pious mohammedans, even if she’s masterminding murder, she’s still just an awrah.
