UK jihadi who supported Taliban returns to UK after release from US jail

Jul 19, 2015 11:36 pm By Robert Spencer

Terror Suspects ConnecticutBabar Ahmad is “entitled to return to the UK,” says the Home Office. Of course. What harm could possibly be done by his return? Look at his statement below: there is no indication whatsoever that he has renounced his former path, and clearly Ahmad is poised to join the Muslim victimhood circuit, which is a large-scale endeavor to discredit and halt counter-terror efforts by claiming that Muslims have been unjustly victimized by them. But that is fine with the Home Office: the only people they want to keep out of Britain are foes of jihad terror.

“British terrorist who supported Taliban slips back into UK after release from US jail,” by Greg Heffer, Express, July 19, 2015 (thanks to Lookmann):

Babar Ahmad was sentenced to 12-and-a-half years in prison in July last year after pleading guilty to supporting a number of terror groups, including the Taliban.

The 41-year-old had spent 10 years behind bars in Britain following his arrest in 2004 before losing a long battle against extradition to the US.

Following his recent release from a US jail Ahmad, who was born in Tooting, south London, is believed to have returned to Britain in secret last week.

Welcoming his return to the UK, his family said in a statement: “We, the family of Babar Ahmad, are delighted to announce that by the grace of God Babar has returned home to us after 11 years in prison.

“Our lives will be enriched by his return.”

As will the lives of many Infidels, no doubt.

Despite initially denying terrorism charges following his extradition in 2012, he later pleaded guilty to setting up a group of pro-jihadi websites to raise money, recruit fighters and organise supplies for terror groups including the Taliban and Chechen mujaheddin.

It has been reported that British counter-terrorism officers are now considering measures to monitor Babar.

Ahmad, who fought in the Bosnian war during the early 1990s, said in a statement: “Eleven years of solitary confinement and isolation in 10 different prisons has been an experience too profound to sum up in a few words here and now.

“In October 2012, I was blindfolded, shackled and forcibly stripped naked when I was extradited to the US.

“Last week, US and UK government officials treated me with courtesy and respect during my journey home. Today, I have absolutely nothing. Yet I am rich. All praise be to God.

“In time I look forward to sharing reflections on my experience to help inform others.

“I recognise that the world has moved on since 2004, yet in some ways sadly it has failed to progress.

“For now, I intend to reconnect privately with my incredible family, to whom I owe so much.”…

Ahmad was released on June 19 and is “entitled to return to the UK”, according to the Home Office.

“Babar Ahmad was extradited to the US on October 5, 2012 for trial on terrorism offences,” a spokesman said.

“He subsequently pleaded guilty to conspiracy and providing material to support terrorism and was sentenced to 12-and-a-half years’ imprisonment.

“Ahmad had used every opportunity, over eight years, to frustrate and delay the extradition process but he finally faced justice and was put behind bars.

“The sentence he was given by the US courts concluded on June 19.

“As a UK citizen, Ahmad is entitled to return to the UK.”

    “Ahmad celebrated the Islamic festival of Eid with his family on Friday, [including high-fives and candies over the murdered Chattanooga five] who added that they were “heartened” by a US judge’s sentencing comments that he is a “good person” [sic] and unlikely to re-offend. [She’s a MIND-READER?]

    Judge Janet Hall had ignored a request from US prosecutors to hand Ahmad the maximum 25-year prison term, while the court also took into account his previous time served in a British jail.”

    So, bending over backwards to accommodate SCUM?

    Once appointed, are judges ‘a law unto themselves’?
    Is there NO recourse if they make bad, unwarranted or partial sentences?

    If this convicted criminal goes on to do much worse things, like blow up a cinema full of people, will survivors and relatives have zero remedy in law against this airhead judge’s OPINION?

    “WHAT: Muslim Funny Fest. WHEN: Tuesday to Thursday. [July 21-23]

    WHERE: NYU’s Grand Hall, 238 Thompson St. (Tuesday), Comic Strip Live Comedy Club, 1568 Second Ave. (Wednesday and Thursday). Muslimfunnyfest.com.

    HOW MUCH: $20 in advance, $25 at door, plus two-drink minimum. No one under 17 admitted.

    Muslims โ€“ in case you didn’t know โ€“ like to yuk it up as much as Catholics, Jews or Presbyterians.”

    I know that would have been organized weeks ago, but the timing looks so sick now. They did of course know that ramadan is the peak violence and killing period, so they are still guilty.

    The moslem MURDERER’S mosque cancelled THEIR big eid celebration as inappropriate, so why not this monstrous insult to America too?

    Will they make jokes about Marines, maybe ‘Revenge of the Barbary Pirates’?
    Will Bill de Blase attend and applaud loudly?

    โ€œAs a UK citizen, Ahmad is entitled to return to the UK.โ€

    He is NOT a citizen. Constitutionally, he is a subject of her Majesty the Queen, and resides in her realm at her pleasure. A minster of the Crown, such as the PM, can revoke any such residence permit on behalf of the Crown.

    The United Kingdom is not a republic.

    Wrong. Corrected for accuracy:

    โ€œWe, the family of babar ‘Mr. Treason’ ahmad, are delighted to announce that through a suicidal lack of will for self-preservation a la (pun intended) Cameron et al. [the terrorist bank roller] has returned and will continue jihad against Dar al harb after 11 short years in prison.”

    One can only imagine the British values of the household welcoming him.

      “Naturally islamist websites are flowing over with self-pity, whining and blaming everyone else.”

      It was hard to find any real information on the site you linked to. Indeed, it was dripping in self-pity and victimhood: Islam has been persecuted and misunderstood since Muhammad.

      They referred to the torture of Barbar Ahmad, which interestingly enough, he didn’t mention.

      I do not support, by the way, stripping a prisoner over an extended period, or putting him in solitary confinement, unless there’s a reason related to his behavior. I don’t think we have to act like savages just because they do. But again, there’s a lot of complaining and very little actual fact.

      I do know that when George Bush was President, some prisoners were waterboarded many, many times, and I don’t have a problem prosecuting those who ordered that treatment, unless they can show an immediate need for information that couldn’t be satisfied any other way.

      • Georg says

        Jul 20, 2015 at 5:01 pm

        I like how butt-hurt the Islamic State is over the US treatment of prisoners, always showing theirs in orange suits, considering how they treat prisoners. It’s a perfect example of the Islamic Hypocrisy where they’re constantly holding others to higher standards than they do themselves (all while proclaiming themselves moral arbiters). I’m not a fan of waterboarding, but neither do I feel much sorrow for many of those waterboarded — keep in mind the deeds of 9/11 and the comparative few kept in Guantanomo. IS beheads and burns alive and points a finger at the West… I don’t think we should be losing sleep over the treatment of those at Camp X-ray.

    On landing in the UK, the first thing this muslim piece of shyte probably did was head for the benefits office to get a free house and a bag full of money. Another ” British” muslim leech rejoining his family of other ” British ” muslim leeches.
    These muslim parasites hate the West but have no problems sucking off us.

    • jayell says

      Jul 20, 2015 at 9:33 am

      They don’t have problems because, as with all their fellow parasitic organisms in nature, they don’t really THINK. Their mental processes – such as they are – are geared solely towards forming simple strategies for extracting that which is extractable without much thought and exists in sources and places that do not belong to them (which might serve as a definition for theft?). This might go some way to explaining why our muslim friends living in areas where crude oil was virtually bubbling up through the sand apparently had such difficulty in obtaining it even though it was actually theirs by right, because (following the example of their Prophet) it was for them far easier simply to rob and murder others for their possessions. Strategies for extracting raw materials which possibly hardly needed much extraction were apparently beyond them, possibly also because, with their (lack of) inventive talent, they failed to comprehend the uses to which these materials could be put, and therefore their value.

      So, in short, it seems to be a case of ‘if you can’t actually achieve much yourself, scrounge off or steal from those who can’.

    โ€œWe, the family of Babar Ahmad, are delighted to announce that by the grace of God Babar has returned home to us after 11 years in prison. Our lives will be enriched by his return.โ€

    And Babar’s return to the UK will be as enriching to proper UK citizens as the bringers of Bubonic Plague back in the middle ages. (No doubt his family are immune to the disease). And by the way, he’s not back by ‘The Grace of God’, unless ‘God’ is now the pseudonym for a few mandarins in the UK Home Office. We’ve had this sort of rubbish before. The awful Malala what’s-her-name from Pakistan (the one who got the bullet in the brain for wanting to go to school, courtesy of her friendly co-muslims) thanked ‘God’ for being saved when she really meant the UK Foreign Office, the UK National Health Service and the UK Department of Education – and, don’t forget the UK taxpayer, who so willingly (Not!) stumped up the cash for all that lot (and is probably going to stump up some more cash for the ‘enriching’ Babar in welfare payments, assuming the family isn’t already raking in thousands from the UK taxpayer).

  18. Westman says

    Jul 20, 2015 at 9:10 am

    This doesn’t sound Islamic at all.

    “..by the grace of God Babar has returned home to us after 11 years in prison.”

    “Today, I have absolutely nothing. Yet I am rich. All praise be to God.”

    Grace has many meanings; two are: deliverance from enemies, and, to save sinners. Which is meant here?

    And when was Allah demoted to “God” with no “Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala”?

    Was this orchestrated for the judge and Christian ears by lawyers? Or has the reformed terrorist become a Closet Christian?

  19. Dee says

    Jul 20, 2015 at 10:36 am

    The UK should have refused to take him back and the U.S. should not let him return here either.

    How far we are from being serious about winning. This guy, or anyone caught either participating in or supporting terrorism should get the death penalty. No appeals. The man loading the gun is equally as guilty as the shooter. This guy should have been dead.
