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

More Muslims from Britain trained as terrorists than ever before, says MI5

Jun 12, 2015 4:14 am By Robert Spencer

Mideast Islamic StateMI5 apparently refers to them as “Britons.” The Telegraph certainly does. Neither one shows any indication of realizing that none — absolutely none — of these Islamic jihadis has anything but contempt for Britain, and none — absolutely none — of them think of themselves as “Britons.” British authorities should be asking themselves why, after all their pandering, all their accommodation, all their demonization of opponents of jihad terror, they have more jihad terror than ever. But that is the one question they will not and dare not ask.

“More Britons trained as terrorists than ever before, says MI5,” by Tom Whitehead, Telegraph, June 11, 2015:

There are more Britons trained in terrorism than at any point in the country’s history in a growing threat to national security, MI5 has warned.

The Security Service said the number of UK-linked suspects involved in or exposed to terror training or fighting with fanatics is “unprecedented”.

The scale of British jihadists who have flocked to Syria to fight alongside Isil has been the driving force behind the rise.

It is feared more than 700 Britons have travelled to Syria, half of who have already returned to the UK, posing a threat here.

That is on top of those who previously travelled to al-Qaeda strongholds in Pakistan, Afghanistan, East Africa and Yemen as well as the growing Irish dissident Republican threat.

Spy chiefs revealed the alarming picture in evidence to David Anderson QC as part of his nine-month review in to snooping powers.

He said MI5 had warned that more people have now gone to Syria than any other terrorist theatre in the 21st century.

According to the agency, the report disclosed: “The threat posed on their return comprises not just attack planning but radicalisation of associates, facilitation and fundraising, all of which exacerbate the threat.

“The number of UK-linked individuals who are involved in or been exposed to terrorist training and fighting is higher than it has been at any point since the 9/11 attacks.

“MI5 regard this aspect of the threat as unprecedented. Some travellers were previously unknown to MI5.”…

    The Intelligence services in the Western world know what the politicians are too frightened to admit, that the No.1 danger to their country and people is not Climate Change or Putin, but Islam, and in particular that orthodox Jihadism version that is growing like a cancer in muslim states and expatriate communities world wide.

      JIHAD UNDER OUR NOSES

      Agreeing with Baucent. Moreover, Western intelligence services need to ZERO IN on the phenomenon of ISLAMIC RADICAL CHIC rampant among Muslim youth in the West. Among themselves, Muslim youth are openly and vehemently DESPITEFUL towards and CONTEMPTUOUS of all things Western. This is a jihadist culture right under everyone’s noses.

        all the civilized western world is under radical muslim threat . the disguises are very sophisticated and the muslim cells and colonies are all over the world. it isn”t only the isis +jihad+el qaida . there is an islamic ideology against al the”infidels” – meaning: christians, jews, and any other believers.
        although countries like israel who is confronting all those movements ( including hizbalah and proxis) :instead of being supported by the western world, is deligitimized and experiencing boycot activities from those same western democratic countries( BDS – another islamic facade). what has to happen till the western world will believe that the threat is total and almost impossible to compete with it ?

      I disagree. I worked for over ten years in the UK MoD. Until a couple of years ago the standard threats warned about in the six monthly threat briefings were (1) irish terrorism and (2) right wing extremists. There was never any mention of Islamic groups. MI5 were still fighting a dead conflict over the water. They didn’t have a clue and still don’t.

    Be it noted that Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, then secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, declared in a speech at Columbia University on Sept. 18, 2008, that:

    The Muslim Ummah, means the ‘community of the faithful’. It is a unique bond that has no similar example under any other political or religious system in the world. It is a belonging to ideals which bring Muslims together in an eternal brotherhood lock which transcends all other consideration of allegiance or loyalties or barriers of nationhood, ethnicity, geography or language.

    Accordingly, let us have done with talk of “Muslim Americans” and “Muslim Britons.” Such chimerical creatures do not and cannot exist.

          To Michael Copeland- If I were a British citizen living in England, I would be compelled to ask my elected officials “Are you stupid?” when it comes to their complacency about jihad threat. I would do this by way of a “Have Your Own say” on a tv show if there is such a thing, or by staging a friendly praceful parade with my fellow anti-jihadis, all street permits filed. I would also research foundations who give away money for peaceful causes and apply for a gift from them to put up billboards about the jihadi threat, citing statistics of this article, and giving a big boo thumbs down to Shariah law and it’s insistence upon robot like behavior from everyone. Plys, put up billboards showing European-dressed Muslims in productive roles in British society. Since you are a British gentleman, do you think any of these ideas would be feasible to stop the trend? Because that is the goal.

          Jun 14, 2015 at 3:11 am

          Linde….this would not be allowed in Britain,you would not get a street permit once the authorities knew what you were intending to protest about! Also,more than likely you would be verbally(if not physically attacked)yourself by typical lefty do gooders,who would presume you are a racist!My brother is a street pastor,and the stories he could tell you about being spat on,sneered at,punched….and he’s a Christian!English government just loves their muslim friends,at the expense of the British people,most of whom are totally clueless to the danger that is islam.

        • Linde Barrera says

          Jun 14, 2015 at 10:05 am

          To Ephesian- Thank you for taking the time to explain to me the hostile situation in Great Britain. It is unbelievable to me, and so very undemocratic. So now I will ask you since your brother is a pastor, if every church could organize a parade at some point in time at least once a year. The parades would emphasize God’s love in Christ for all humanity and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Would that idea stand a chance of getting street permits? And thank you for the efforts you and other Christians in Great Britain put forth to spread the Gospel and prioritize what is right, like free speech.

        Michael, It’s shameful and revolting that UK ruling elites allow Muslim imports, the Fifth Column, to march with the black flags of jihad in London holding big signs declaring,
        TRINITY OF EVIL – AMERICA, BRITAIN AND FRANCE.

        And also UNFORGIVABLE that the Fifth Column parasites live in social housing with full welfare benefits. They and their multiple wives each one with their multiple children live for free off our indigenous people. It’s UK leaders full approval of the planned big jihad and goal of Muslim conquest of our people.

        http://thinkafricapress.com
        http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq4el7gyPas

        Patriotic, decent, ethical leaders would have permanently ended all social housing, free healthcare, free money and welfare benefits for Muslims many years ago. These things were meant only for Britain’s indigenous people in time of need – NEVER to be given away to the huge Muslim Third World.

        Brits are forced to finance national suicide and Muslim conquest of our own nation.

    According to the agency, the report disclosed: “The threat posed on their return comprises not just attack planning but radicalisation of associates, facilitation and fundraising, all of which exacerbate the threat.

    And, of course, passing their training on to others. It’s no accident that every once in a while a bomb explodes in a mosque…

    Well, it IS an accident that the bomb explodes, but it’s no accident that it explodes in a mosque rather than a church or synagogue.

    Just let them go, They’re just going to be killed. Like the 13000 other ISIS members have done. Like a video game. From our drones and air power kill them all!

    The virulent anti-Islam and anti-Muslim views expressed here are ignorant, intolerant, immoral, and irresponsible. It’s not Christian, secular or democratic. It’s not American, European, Asian or Australian. It’s not Earthian, Martian, Mercurian, Jupiterian or Plutonian. Such views’s are.dishonest, distorted and disagreeable. I am a Christian
    with good Muslim friends. I support their religion and their lives. This is what Jesus would recommend. Love thy enemies and do good to them that hurt you.

        To Raju
        just try to be around a muslim extremist and talk about your beliefs.
        Nothing is more relevant to him than distruction and blood. Life and morarity aren’t values to apply towards any humanbeing who isn’t “a SHariah beleiver”..Wake up my friend! You are a good – naive person when we are dealing about the existence of freedom!

    • Linda Rivera says

      Jun 13, 2015 at 8:15 pm

      To Raju, We here, including Christians, I’m a Christian, are against the horrifying bloodthirsty teachings of the Quran that command Muslims to forcibly convert, kidnap, rape, perpetrate satanic atrocities, behead, crucify, mass barbaric murder non-Muslims, capture non-Muslims for slaves and sex slaves and gang rape and torture these non-Muslim innocents.

      Every day, I am extremely angry and extremely grieved that for decades Muslim monsters have gang raped and horribly tortured many thousands of, indigenous non-Muslim little white British girls. The violent sex attacks and tortures continue, and YOU call us,”ignorant, intolerant, immoral, and irresponsible and not Christian,. You state that our “views are.dishonest, distorted and disagreeable”

      YOU ARE A VERY SCARY PERSON.

    Jun 13, 2015 at 7:57 pm

    I’m EXTREMELY OUTRAGED that UK authorities call these devout, Quran obedient Muslims, Britons That is so twisted and so perverted. It spits on our indigenous people.

    • Ephesian says

      Jun 14, 2015 at 3:21 am

      Linda…they are not British,just because they may be born in Britain does not make them loyal to Britain,as we see.They are muslim first and British second.We shouldn’t be surprised when they behave the way their “book” tells them to,but the misconception held by the majority and the government,is that their”book” is like the Bible.The government has no wish to curtail such behaviour because to rock the boat would cause untold trouble for them,and us,and so,being the spineless people that they are,they turn a blind eye to it,but it is the ordinary man/woman on the street that will suffer,not the government living in their leafy,coccooned suburbs away from such threats.They are traitors to England.
