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

UK arresting about one would-be jihad terrorist every day

Jul 21, 2015 4:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Good thing the jihad has nothing to do with Islam. Imagine how many they’d be arresting if it did. UK police2“Counter-terrorism chief rejects British passport deal for would-be extremists,” by Vikram Dodd, Guardian, July 21, 2015:

Scotland Yard’s counter-terrorism chief has dismissed the suggestion that those wanting to join Islamic State should be allowed to go in return for surrendering their British passports. Appearing before MPs on the home affairs committee, assistant commissioner Mark Rowley said extremists should not be allowed to leave Britain to join the terrorist group because they could return as hardened violent jihadists….

Rowley said about a quarter of terrorism investigations now involved “vulnerable” people, including those with mental health issues, who were being targeted by Isis. Arrests in the UK continued to run at about one a day, MPs were told, and may be increasing.

      Actually it’s the sea — as in Mao Tse-tung’s dictum:

      The guerrilla must move amongst the people as a fish swims in the sea.

      The leftist politicians who engage in demographic re-engineering of national populations through mass importation of Muslims in order to aggrandize their voting strength have provided a sea in which terrorists swim freely.

        This Rowley guy is a numbskull. He admits to daily arrests of wannabe Jihadis, yet does not appreciate the benefit of having them leave the country.
        He can’t possibly believe UK police catches all intending Jihadis.
        It’s only a matter of time for one of the troublesome Muslims to slip through the cracks, and wreak Jihadist mayhem.

        Ann Coulter labels these types of politicians as Treasoncrats, and she is quite right. End all Muslim immigration into the West now. Every Muslim immigrant is a potential jihadist, or a supporter of jihad, or a parent of a jihadi.

      “A small drop in the bucket …err, ocean.”

      That is why more drastic changes are needed ASAP.

        We need new laws to deport radical Muslims as soon as they are identified as such. As well as shut down any Mosque that is caught preaching extremism.

      I think most muslims have “mental health issues.”

    Well why don’t they import more of the cretins so the cops can arrest up to five a day. That would make it look like those in power are REALLY doing their job.

    • Linde Barrera says

      To Joseph- Love your sense of humor! You make some funny comments here, even if I dont always exclaim you. Keep up the good work and thanks.

      • Joseph says

        Jul 21, 2015 at 7:55 pm

        Well thank-you Linde. I like to be “light” on some of the stories here because there are others that get me rather upset(FGM). The other reason I say things like the above is because I truly believe that there is some political tard out there that thinks like that, therefore my comment.
        Thanks again and I’ll try my best.

    “Rowley said about a quarter of terrorism investigations now involved “vulnerable” people, including those with mental health issues, who were being targeted by Isis.”

    There it is again, that widely-renowned “mental health issues” scapegoat. Rowley seems not to have mentioned that “about 700 Britons have fled to join the ‘caliphate’ declared by Isis, enforced by high levels of violence in Iraq and Syria.”

    Apparently, Rowley was responding to Robert Quick, who argued: “We should try and convince them not to go. If they want to go, you have to ask the question, are we better off, if they surrender their passports and go? It’s better than them festering away here. Should we say we’ll lay on charter flights to Syria; turn up with your passport and if you are over 18, if this is the life you want, then go?”

    See complete article at following link:
    http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jul/21/counter-terrorism-chief-rejects-british-passport-trade-in-deal-extremists

    Quick presents the only salient question, the answer to which should be an emphatic, “Let them go! Indeed, encourage them to go! Good riddance!” Otherwise, these wannabe jihadists will emerge in the British headlines as mentally disturbed, lone-wolf operatives who, in “misunderstanding” Islam, viciously attacked innocent people in a cafeteria, subway, church, soccer arena, or school, etc.

      Targeting those with Mental Health Issues? – Why would the Islamic State want to field recruits who are mentally imbalanced, or retards ? Is that the way to achieve victory ? British authorities seem to suffer from Mental Health Issues, including Political Correctness and Denial.

      I endorse the idea for “like” and “unlike” buttons.

    It’s better than nothing.

    But, how about rounding up all the Muslims and deporting them to Syria where they are much needed?????

      Good idea.

    “Another day, another jihadi.”
    Times change. Not so long ago apologists were running the
    ‘jihad is the inner struggle for self- improvement’ claptrap.

    They are also abandoning the fallacy of ‘Islamophobia’ as it
    is increasingly being exposed as another piece of B/S.

    Now fashionable- the ‘mental health’ excuse.

    A pox on all their weasel words…

    Not to mention the huge amount of resources and “person hours” tied up in finding the “crazies” before they strike. It has been previously reported that MI5 agents now spend more time now on counter-jihadist activity than any other threat. It is probably the same for the Western European intelligence agencies as well. The peaceful religion of Islam is soaking up the time and resources of the West’s security agencies.
    You can forget Russian and China, the threat for the next century is all about Islam.

      Close, Good Person, close. But think one more step. The average A-rab couldn’t organise an ice-cream at a summer carnival. I know this for sure – I’ve lived and worked with them. Suddenly they have slick, professional PR and videos, hackers and digi-savvy galore, a recruiting organisation that makes Cook’s Travel look amateur, weapons up to their eyeballs, plus the expertise to use them. Without outside help? No way. People have been pushing refugees over borders to confuse and drain their enemies for thousands of years – it’s even in the Ancient Roman strategy guides. Who profits? Russia ties up the security services just when we need them most while China just parasites off the chaos to rip off Africa.

      Islam is without a doubt evil, but all the totalitarian, criminal pond life in the world is grubbing in its moral ooze for fun and profit. With a little help from Obama the Yellow, of course.

        I’ve heard of Alexander the Great ! But, Obama the Yellow ? 🙂 🙂
