Ashiq wrote: “There’s no life, no life without Jihad” and wanted to do “Ishtishadi (martyrdom) against… all these people.” He also declared his allegiance to the Islamic State, and searched for phrases such as “IS beheading journalist” and “44 ways to support Jihad.”
“Coventry man GUILTY of terrorism offences,” by Ben Eccleston, Coventry Telegraph, May 26, 2015:
A young Coventry man has been found guilty of terrorism offences this afternoon.
Muslim Zakariya Ashiq, 20, from Foleshill, was intent on martyring himself in Syria, a trial heard.
He was found guilty of preparing for acts of terrorism and assisting others to prepare for terrorism after a week-long trial at the Old Bailey.
The unemployed 20-year-old failed in his attempt to join Islamic State last November and was arrested when he returned to the UK.
The court heard that Ashiq had made other attempts to enter Syria.

“there’s no life without Jihad”
Spoken like a totally brainwashed tool of satan …
Angemon says
He has the look to match too.
Champ says
Indeed ..his eyes look *dead* and soulless.
abad says
Eyes that all Muslims have. Pretty tragic if you ask me.
LeeZee says
“there’s no life without Jihad” should read “there’s only DEATH WITH Jihad! What a pathetic waste. It would be laughable if it did not affect all our lives.
abad says
Bingo. Islam is indeed the Religion of Death.
Shane says
Islam is a religion of death and misogyny. The way ISIS savages are abusing women and little girls is horrible.

“The unemployed 20-year-old failed in his attempt to join Islamic State last November and was arrested when he returned to the UK.”
Poor thing… What a POS! He needs to be in prison among the general population.
Wellington says
Actually, this young Muslim loser (excuse the redundancy) is quite correct. If you’re a Muslim and not engaging in jihad—-striving in the way of Allah and all that rot—–you’re not living a life worth while considered by Islamic standards.
Problem is, of course, Islamic standards are a perversion of what life’s priorities should be. In fact, as a general rule, figure out what Islam says you should do, then do exactly the opposite (examples being extending the Golden Rule to all, not waging war on behalf of your religion, not killing apostates from your religion of choice and not forcing your rules and regulations on others) and you have about a 98% chance of being a good human being. Just sayin’.
abad says
Spot on. Islam is all about destruction whether it is human life (non-Muslims), a Virgin Mary statue in Canada, the World Trade Centers, Buddha statues in Afghanistan…there is nothing productive whatsoever about Islam.
Islam is anti-life, anti-joy, anti-happiness – the Greyface of the world.
Linde Barrera says
To Wellington- Your 6:08 pm post was so truthful and yet written with a touch of humor. (At least to me.) You have a gift.
Cicero says
You are so right Wellington,!
Islam’s teachings are all a perversion of what are common human ethics and values.
In fact Mohammed deliberately instructed his followers as follows ” everything the infidel does , you must do the opposite. The better to confound and frustrate them and wear them down into submission”.
The pre- Islamic Arabs used to make annual pilgrimages to the Kaaba in Mecca. They worshipped their gods and also perambulated the shrine in a clock wise fashion ( as do most pilgrims worldwide even til today). However Mohammed advised his worshippers/ followers to walk around the Kaaba in AN ANTI – CLOCKWISE fashion.
I would advise anti-jihadis to , when they get the opportunity, to observe Muslims closely. – they will soon verify this fact of contrariness.
sahani says
Islamic war manul read by billions( book fro Arab land called Kuran ) promoting Jihad to kill people in big nos is a problem for the wrold and its solution lie sin banning this.
sahani says
Ban on masjids and watching local mullahs or banning their preching is one way or get ready for head line news London burning.
Champ says
???? … o_0
Oliver says
Sahani,
just asking.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING, OR TRYING TO SAY?
Cecilia Ellis says
To both Oliver and Champ: I love your posts! Hopefully, after reviewing the posts of Sahani, I might have arrived at a solution.
“Islamic war manul read by billions( book fro Arab land called Kuran ) promoting Jihad to kill people in big nos is a problem for the wrold and its solution lie sin banning this.”
– I suspect that Sahan, in his 6:28 p.m. post, was trying to say this: “The Islamic war manual, which is read by billions, is an Arabian book entitled, Qur’an. This Qur’an promotes jihad, i.e., to kill people in big numbers. As such, the Qur’an is a problem for the world. The solution is to ban the Qur’an.”
“Ban on masjids and watching local mullahs or banning their preching is one way or get ready for head line news London burning.”
– I likewise suspect that Sahan, in his 6:30 p.m. post, was trying to say this: “Bannin mosques, watching local mullahs or stopping those mullahs from preaching is one way to stop the killing and violence. If you don’t take these actions, prepare yourselves: there will be much more, including in London.”
Then, again, I could be entirely wrong, but at least these suggested translations do not make me want to immediately ingest an entire pork sandwich.
Oliver says
If he was unemployed, and it does not say that he was a student or from a wealthy family, where did he get the money to travel to the Middle east?
Must have not been free.
I would have (if I lived in Britain) been willing to contribute to a one way ticket. And would have suggested a charter plane-one way-for all in the area to go to Syria. Just my view
Joseph says
When he gets out of prison I am sure he could find employment here in the USA……………….
HOLDING UP THE TARGETS AT A PISTOL RANGE.
Good thing is he gets to keep ALL the lead he can carry.
Bad thing though is I heard there is NO medical coverage.
mortimer says
Very foolish. Some of the greatest opponents of jihad are reformed jihadists. They refute Islam better than anyone. We need to deprogram these guys so they can use their bravery to refute Islam.

I think he will hold on to Islam the rest of his life because he wants to die for the cause.
If he can reform(truly) then all I can say is “Welcome”
duh_swami says
In order to ‘deprogram’ a Mahoundian, it is required to convince them that Allah is not God. Had nothing to do with writing the Quran, and Mahound was an evil man. Some marginal Mahoundians have figured that out and abandoned ship, but not the rest…deprogramming the nest is a lot harder than deprogramming a few individuals.
duh_swami says
The primitive intellect functions best in the arena’s of sex, and or, violence. Sometimes both at once. The Quran is the manual for the primitive intellect. Allah permits every kind of sexual and violent depravity. Along with the examples of Mahound, it is the perfect perverts handbook. This 20 year old primitive intellect probably couldn’t get a date, so violence was his alternative…Prison is the right place for him, because his new found friends just love those sweet 20 year olds…
Oliver says
Perhaps, while in prison, he can become a martyr. AND SOON, to save the tax payers money.
I would want the same for all wannabe martyrs who are kept from fulfilling the desires and end up in prison. Regardless of their gender.
