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

UK: Muslim teenager arrested twice in two months for alleged terror offenses

Aug 12, 2015 11:27 am By Robert Spencer

Officers handcuff and detain man on suspicion of selling forged tickets for FA Cup Final in Cardiff City Centre South Wales UKTrue to form for the mainstream media, no information is given about who these people are or what kind of terrorism they were trying to perpetrate. Imagine a newspaper on December 8, 1941 running a story saying that random men in airplanes had attacked Pearl Harbor, and that police were searching for a motive. It’s absurd, but that’s how virtually every mainstream media story about the global jihad reads. And so while it is not certain that this multiply arrested young man is an Islamic jihadist, it is extremely likely, for if he were an IRA member or some such non-Muslim terrorist, the Independent and the authorities would not be so reticent.

Anyway, what about this young man? What will he do when he is released? What is being done to disabuse him of his jihadist sentiments? Why, nothing, of course. Any such action would be “Islamophobic.”

“Teenager in east London arrested twice in two months for alleged terror offences,” by Lizzie Dearden, Independent, August 12, 2015:

Three teenage girls are among five members of the same family who have been arrested on terrorism allegations in London.

Police from Scotland Yard’s Counter Terrorism unit raided their home in the east of the capital on Wednesday.

A 51-year-old man, 53-year-old woman and three teenagers aged 16, 17 and 19 were arrested on suspicion of “possessing information likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism”.

They remain in custody at a police station in central London.

The man was also detained on suspicion of having fake identity documents with “improper intention”.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said the same 16-year-old girl had been arrested last month for allegedly preparing for acts of terrorism.

She was already on bail while further inquiries were made and her relatives’ arrests were part of the same investigation.

Police said they could not confirm whether the case was linked to Isis, which calls itself the Islamic State, or what the intended acts of terrorism were.

    Just another poor victimised muslim family, forced to react to the torrent of bigoted, racist, xenophobic, islamophobia that is hurled at them every day by all those vile, nasty non muslims that refuse to submit to their social and cultural superiors.
    If only we gave them bigger houses, multiply free trips to mecca and free without limit credit cards, they wouldn´t feel so discriminated against.

    Give it time. Eventually they will disclose that the man was “Asian”.

      @ Robert: Did someone pull a sex-change?

      “Three teenage GIRLS are among five members of the same family who have been arrested on terrorism allegations in London.”

      “A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police said the same 16-year-old GIRL had been arrested last month for allegedly preparing for acts of terrorism.”

      Must be as random as someone shooting a bunch of folks in a deli, as random as workplace violence…

    A terrorist family! Imagine!

    No point in the parents saying ‘We had no idea! We’re shocked! My son was always normal and respectful.’

    It’s time for British police to teach the standard Islamic jihad doctrine to all police….THAT’S WHAT THEY TEACH IN SAUDI ARABIAN SCHOOL TEXTS!

      “No point in the parents saying ‘We had no idea! We’re shocked! My son was always normal and respectful.’…”

      Isn’t that just it? It’s always “We didn’t know”, We’re shocked”, “He was such a good boy and he fed his hamster every morning”.

      These people must be in such a permanent state of shock that they must be on medication… funded by the NHS, of course!

    “Let’s see… Terror-related offences… Yes, that’s serious. I’ll need to pass a heavy sentence. Oh, wait. A follower of religion of peace, eh? I guess you can make due with a slap on the wrist, as long as you promise not to do it again, and stick to that promise, unlike you did last time.”

    Imagine a newspaper on December 8, 1941 running a story saying that random men in airplanes had attacked Pearl Harbor, and that police were searching for a motive.

    This comparison is unfair. The pilots flew planes built by their government from aircraft carriers operated by uniformed sailors. Your basic Jihadist is a different form of cat. He is brought into a host country and put on the dole paid for by the Infidel, and the gubmint then proceeds to kiss his ass and shower him with prerogatives. For example, the Boston taxpayers were nice enough to give a great financial subsidy to help the incoming Moslems build a giant mosque there that the FBI is now monitoring as a center of anti-freedom agitprop and mass murder operations.

    Different.

    Nothing to do with Islam, isn’t that right Dave?
